On Breakfast this morning, Cam Mansel reported that Witherspoon, Winfrey and Kaling flew into Queenstown last night on Oprah's private jet, "making a brief pit stop in Hawaii to refuel and things like that".
Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling has tweeted Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi saying she's "in NZ, seeking tour of shooting locations for What We Do In The Shadows, for tourists. I am tourist. Thanks."
Waititi responded in his typical comic style.
