According to Post-Gazette.com, a local Pittsburgh news source, Katherine Heigl was spotted filming the part in the book where she is questioning Lula and Jackie, the prostitutes she encounters on Stark Street. This is an excerpt from that article: "Yesterday, a couple of familiar faces in unfamiliar hair styles and colors and fashions were stationed in front of the adult store and tattoo parlor. They belonged to Ms. Heigl, clad in a green top and jeans with long dark hair hanging loose, and Sherri Shepherd and Ryan Michelle Bathe, who play hookers Lula and Jackie."
"Stephanie was questioning the pair about a possible witness to a shooting who's gone missing. Ms. Shepherd, in a short wig, was closer to Ms. Evanovich's description of the women's wear of stretchy tank tops and tight-fitting knit shorts while Ms. Bathe's slender form was balanced on high heels in the 86-degree heat. "Bye bye," Ms. Shepherd called out, ending the encounter as the trio drifted toward some bottles of water and a tent providing cover for the filmmakers."

According to Post-Gazette.com, they have transformed a whole area near the old Garden Theater into Trenton, New Jersey's Stark Street including the gym where she encounters the heavyweight boxer, Ramirez; smoke shop; adult store; etc, complete with a makeshift graffiti covered wall to cover the park across the street.
Sounds exciting doesn't it? I cant wait to see how Lula looks. There were rumors that Sherri Shepherd was going to play dual roles, both Lula and Jackie, the hookers from Stark Street, but this article confirms that Ryan Michelle Bathe is playing the role of Jackie. I was a little weary about Shepherd playing both roles and if it would be kind of cheesy and fake, so this is good news to me.
I can't wait to see how Joe and Ranger end up looking. Still a little weary of the cast picks, but I'm willing to give them a chance. ;)
