  1. Hi Lindsay, I love your site! I used to work in the film biz and one night I was driving home late from the studio, and when I came to Santa Monica Blvd and Western, all of the street signs and stores signs had been covered with some sort of alien or foreign language signs. They were doing night shooting and I was not able to stop and ask what they were shooting. This would have been the early 1980s. I’ve never figured out what the movie was. Any ideas?

  2. Hi Lindsay! Im new to your site and I love it! I would like to challenge you to find the house that Elvis once lived in in Hombly Hills. I read in an interview that when Priscilla contacted Lisa Marie to let her know that Michael Jackson had died, Priscilla also mentioned that the Hombly Hills house he died in was catty corner to the house Elvis had when Lisa was a child. Lisa mentioned this as a strange similarity ,among many, between MJ and her famous father. I’d love to see Elvis house in Hombly Hills. Did i mention i am a crazy Elvis fan that devours any and all Elvis info?!! I have been to Graceland 20+ times! Thank you for an info you can provide!

      1. Wow, thank you! Do you happen to know who owns the house now? Imwonder if there are pictures of the inside anywhere….thanks again. Very interesting!

  3. So, for some reason, I have gotten sucked into the world known as “Melissa and Joey” on ABC Family. The exterior of the house is driving me crazy! I feel as though I’ve seen it before…and quite possibly on your AWESOME page! I know the show is filmed before a live studio audience, and who knows, the house is probably on the ABC lot. I just need to know where else it has been used!

    Thanks! Love this site!

    1. P.S. The exterior of the house is featured in every episode. One quick look, and you may be able to recognize what other show it’s from–or which other set it resembles.

        1. Hi Lindsay,
          I don’t think it is. It looks similar–they are both craftsman style–but the house on M&J is green, and the windows on the second floor are different. I was thinking maybe 8 Simple Rules, but I haven’t been able to find a shot of the exterior of the home on that show.
          Thanks for helping. My husband thinks I’m crazy, so I am so happy you share a love for all things celeb and Hollywood too!

      1. Thank you for finding it. I know that I am just going to have to keep scouring movies and TV shows to see if I spot it somewhere! You rock, Lindsay!

  4. Hi Lindsay! Super fan of yours 🙂 I have a “challenge” – but really, I might be the only person who even cares to know this so no worries if this doesn’t fall onto your list of priorities! I’m taking a shot since I know you were a big fan of the Hills – I’ve been indulging myself in the reruns of the E! show “Pretty Wild” over the last few snow days we’ve had, I’m curious to know where their first house in the show was located (where Alexis Neiers was arrested) in Westlake Village, and then where they moved closer to Hollywood. I did some junior varsity stalking and found basically the summary of the arrest report that says she was arrested at her home on West View Court either in or next to Westlake Village but I cannot find ANY trace of even a street with that name! And then a few episodes into the series, they move closer to “the city”.

    Yours in stalking! xo

      1. YOU are ridiculous. Ridiculously amazing! I’m re-watching the series (for research purposed only….really….) and they keep showing b-roll shots of signs for Lake Hollywood Boulevard and Lake Hollywood Estates, which I Google Earthed and it definitely looks like that could be the neighborhood (the one scene where they lost the dog, it showed them going up and down stairs in a canyon-like area and also showed shots of a lake, and I tried really really hard to make out the house addresses stenciled on the curb in the background and I thought I saw 2600-something or 2700-something. #stalkerintraining 🙂

        THANK YOU!

  5. Great web site, Lindsay! Fascinating! I just spent the last two hours researching the locations of the “homes” of the Munsters, the Cleavers and the Clampetts. Here is the preface to my challenge: In a 1955 episode of I Love Lucy called “The Tour”, Lucy and Ethel take a bus tour and break into a home referred to as Richard Widmark’s, although it was actually a home that Lucy and Desi Arnaz had just purchased. My challenge is, how much of the tour bus route can you retrace? It would be fun to drive the route the next time I’m in L.A. Here are two links to descriptions of the episode:

    Thanks, and best wishes for the holidays.

  6. Who was the local legendary Bandleader, now in his mid 90s who helped Michael Buble get his start?
    (I know where you see and hear an old film of that man playing with my father back in 1936)

  7. I have a challenge for you. Any idea where to find the burger / hot dog stand where Courtney Cox worked in Masters Of The Universe, or if it’s even still standing? It was also briefly featured in Smokey And The Bandit. I’d be willing to bet other films have used the location as well.

    Some screenshots for you:

  8. Hi Lindsay,
    I’m trying to fimd the charles in charge house from the late 80’s. Also im looking for the house from growing pains..I just visited Chicago and stalked the married with children house and family matters. It was awesome, the houses look identical. Also, I live in NY any ideas you can pass along would be awesome.

    thanks,

    1. I read somewhere that the Charles in Charles house was torn down when they built (or expanded) the subway station. The Growing Pains house is located in the WB Studios and you can see it on the tour (its actually across the street from Emily’s house on Pretty Little Liars, which is also Ross and Monica’s childhood home on Friends) 🙂

  9. Love your site. I have been accused of stalking Twilight sites here in Portland. Love finding new ones. Visiting LA next week and would love to locate the current Kristen and Robs housing locations. Or the gates anyway. any ideas?

  10. Hi – appreciate your site. Do you know which end of Santa Monica Beach The One Direction “What Makes You Beautiful” and Blink 182’s “All The Small Things” was filmed? I looked at Google Maps but can’t work it out. Thank you 🙂 We appreciate your site.

  11. Hi Lindsay! Love your website. I’ve always wanted to know where the two homes shot in the High Musical are located. One is Zac Efron’s character, Troy Bolton’s home and the other is Vanessa Hudgens character, Gabriella Montes’s home. Both are gorgeous and wondering if they are located in Utah where the rest of the movie was shot. Thank you so much.

  12. I love Halloween. I’ve heard the house from Cujo is near Drew Barrymore’s house in Scream. So my challenge, where is the house from Cujo?

  13. They’ve been airing promos on E! for a show called “Hollywood Death Trip”. Might be worth a look. It premieres tonight at 10PM.

    “E! Entertainment Special Hollywood Death Trip”
    Premieres Thursday, October 24th @ 10:00pm ET/PT
    “E! Entertainment Special Hollywood Death Trip” follows the real-life guided tour of high profile murders and shocking deaths that occurred in Los Angeles. The captivating E! Special unravels some of the most gruesome and notorious cases that made headlines, and takes a look at where these events actually unfolded.

    1. Did you see the one about Johnny Lewis? That shocked me! I had no idea he had even died. It’d make for an interesting post (maybe next Halloween)!

  14. Have you ever visited the Chateau Bradbury Estate at 2232 California Ave in Duarte? It would make a perfect October post, since it was used as the party house in The Craft where Skeet Ulrich is pushed out the window. It has also been featured in the movie Grosse Pointe Blank, the TV shows Bones and Tales From The Crypt, as well as hordes of B-movies.

    1. Hi Kevin,
      The pics are on my Celebrity Photo Booth page. 🙂 I update it regularly, but keep the photos of Michael Buble, Kristin Cavallari and Matt Lanter (my three faves) at the top.
      Happy Stalking :),
      Lindsay

  15. I’m trying to locate any filming locations for My Boys, specifically PJ’s apartment exterior. I can’t tell how much was on a set and how much was on location.

    Thanks for your consideration!

  16. I would love if you stalked some Shopgirl locations! One of my favourite movies with lots of great LA locations. Love your site! Thanks.
