Tom Hanks is currently shooting a movie in Virginia Beach, so the good people at the local newspaper have set up a website, hamptonroads.com, where local residents can submit their Tom Hanks sightings! This is a great opportunity for people who have seen Tom Hanks in a grocery store, restaurant, gas station, or bowling alley to let the world know that they did, and for those of us who just want to see what the life of Tom Hanks is like on location in Hampton Roads, Virginia, who don’t live there and can’t afford to fly down there to try and see him, can watch from the sidelines. Here are a couple sample sightings:
“I heard Tom Hanks was at Havana Nights recently #HRHanks. I guess he is hanging around Town Center?”
“Tom Hanks alert: The folks at Charlie’s Cafe in Norfolk shared this photo on their Facebook wall this morning. pic.twitter.com/huygH5aF”
TOM HANKS ALERT! GO TOM! GO HAMPTON ROADS! Keep those tweets pouring in. Some people might say, this is an invasion of Tom Hanks’s privacy and also kind of unnecessary and seems a bit intense and maybe the local news should focus on what’s going on with the funding of the fire department or, like, school lunches or something but I say GIVE THANKS 4 MORE HANKS! You can ask anybody, I say that constantly. “GIVE THANKS 4 MORE HANKS!” (Via PopCultureBrain.)

Just spotted Rita and Tom enjoying a sunset at the park. Well, Rita, was. Tom apparently didn’t like it and continually shouted “He’s not my sun, what is this haze? I hate him.” #HRHanks
I’m sorry but if they can’t spot him themselves then they’re just weak.
They also set up a direct line to the Virginia Beach police department for any Chet Haze sightings.
Where Chet Haze at?
I once watched Tom Hanks in Philadelphia for two hours.
Sometimes clubs and bars and restaurants around Portland like to mention that members of the cast of Grimm are there on the Twitters.* I usually think it’s annoying and invasive, but every once in awhile I think, “I would like to meet Pilates Wolf for a drink… hmmm.” (And then I go back to watching TV with my dog.)
*This has been my weekly plug for NBC’s best crime dramady, Grimm.
In Hawaii, my parents used to follow the adventures of the LOST cast in the newspaper’s daily police blotter.
4:11 a.m. – Matthew Fox Beats women.
10:05a.m. – Matthew Fox beats some more women.
Don’t forget all the drunk driving!! And all the speeding!!! 75 in a 25? Slow down, Sayid! That’s a school zone!
Oh yes, I remember now that there was a spate of like 2 or 3 LOST actors getting DUIs within a pretty short period of time! “Dudes, calm down.” – Hugo “Hurley” Reyes
And who can forget the now infamous detainment of Evangeline Lilly for ‘driving while freckled’ (DwF).
My brother once mixed streams with Tom Hanks in a bathroom in Dodger Stadium (trough urinal). Beat that, Hampton Roads.
Hampton Roads was the urinal. BOOM.
i wonder if he’s let Tom Pranks get the best of him and give false sightings.
