Chicago's top celebrity hangouts in 2011

If any of us wondered if celebrities would still visit Chicago after The Oprah Winfrey Show ended in May, we now have our answer.

Chicago is still a popular destination for film projects which this year included Man of Steel and Contagion and television projects including OWN's The Rosie Show, Starz' Boss, Showtime's Shameless and NBC's now-canceled Playboy Club. And the city continues to host stars who are promoting a film (as Tom Hanks did for Larry Crowne) or a store (as Miley Cyrus did for Topshop/Topman and Cee Lo Green did for Macy's).

Are there as many A-list sightings as there were when Oprah was still on the air? No. But there are still plenty of stars out and about to keep the autograph hounds and paparazzi (yes, Chicago has paparazzi) busy. Here is a look at where those stars hungout in Chicago in the year-end edition of the About Last Night rankings, which ranks the city's most popular celeb hangouts based on star power and number of sightings.

Star moment: When Prince Fielder and his Milwaukee Brewers teammates watched football at The Fifty/50 in September, the staff initially brought his table chicken wings, a skirt steak sandwich and the O-Face burger. Fielder didn't touch any of it, so the staff brought out another burger and ribs. Once again Fielder, who is listed at 275 p! ounds, p assed. That's when one bartender, who is a die hard baseball fan, pointed out to the manager that Prince is a vegetarian. Poor guy was sitting there and not saying anything about being a vegetarian and not eating, said Fifty/50 co-owner Scott Weiner by email.

Star moment: Rahm Emanuel wasn't the only Chicago mayor in the building when he dined at Mastro's in June. Kelsey Grammer, who plays a fictional Chicago mayor on Starz' Boss, also happened to be dining in the River North steakhouse that night. Kelsey went over to his private party and the two chatted for a long time as Rahm gave Kelsey tips on how to play (the role), said Mastro's director of marketing/PR Liz Gantz by email.
