Two weeks ago, while out doing some Oscar Weekend stalking, I dragged my fiancé to Marix Tex Mex Cafe in West Hollywood, a restaurant which has long been one of my girl Jen Aniston’s favorite places to dine.  And while Jen has always been pretty vocal about her love of Mexican food and margaritas, I had never actually heard of the eatery until last year when a woman in one of my acting classes mentioned that she had spotted the actress there on numerous occasions.  [...]

While out stalking the ‘Bu with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, a couple of weeks ago, I just about had a complete heart attack as the two of us passed by my girl Jen Aniston’s former beach house and I noticed that the door to the front gate was standing WIDE OPEN!  Let me tell you, I must have screamed for a good sixty seconds over that one!  Once Mike regained his hearing , he made an immediate U-turn across Pacific Coast Highway so that the [...]

Last week, while killing time before an acting workshop, I stopped by a newsstand in Hollywood and just about died when I spotted my girl Jen Aniston on the cover of the March Issue of Architectural Digest.  It turns out the magazine, which is on sale now, is featuring a 12 page spread showcasing Jen’s recently remodeled Beverly Hills home, a home which I first blogged about way back in March of 2008.  I was absolutely SHOCKED to discover that the normally press-shy Aniston had [...]

This past weekend I dragged my fiancé out to re-stalk Cole’s Restaurant, a location that I originally blogged about way back in May of 2008.  I first learned about the old time watering hole while watching the DVD commentary for fave movie A Lot Like Love, during which one of the film’s directors mentions that the New York bar scene featured at the beginning of the flick wasn’t actually filmed on the East Coast at all, but at a historic little bar in Downtown Los [...]

This past New Year’s, my fiancé’s entire family – including his two school-age nephews – came to town to watch the Rose Parade.  Before their arrival, he scoured the internet to find some fun places in the L.A. area to take the kids after the festivities were over.  One of the ideas he came up with was to spend a few hours at SpeedZone in the City of Industry – an amusement park of sorts which features an array of kid-friendly fun such as go-kart [...]

A few weeks ago, during an eye exam, I had my pupils dilated – an activity which has to be one of my least favorite in the entire world!  For the next few hours, thanks to my blurry vision, I couldn’t do much of anything besides watch TV – and I couldn’t even do that very well!    So, because I was homebound for the day, I decided to pop in the behind-the-scenes DVD that had come free with Michael Buble’s latest “Crazy Love” [...]

Many years ago, I was enrolled in an acting school in Burbank that was located just down the street from a little coffee shop named Priscilla’s Coffee Tea & Gifts.  I logged quite a bit of time at the coffee house, as my classmates and I would often grab a coffee and hang out there before and after class.  So, when the place popped up in an episode of Desperate Housewives a few weeks ago, I literally almost fell out of my chair!   Since I [...]

Out of the blue last week, fellow stalker Owen and I became a bit obsessed with finding the white clapboard colonial style home used in the 2005 Jen Aniston movie Rumor Has It.  For some extremely odd reason, neither Owen (who is also a HUGE JA fan) nor I had ever tried to locate the house before.  I didn’t especially love the movie, though, in spite of the fact that it starred my girl Jen, so that’s probably why I never sought it out.  But, last week, when Owen mentioned the [...]

This past weekend, while out stalking in Hollywood, my fiance and I walked right past the new Madame Tussauds wax museum and I just about had a total meltdown right there on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard!  The museum, which was supposed to open to the public on August 1st, was hosting a special preview event when we walked by and was absolutely booming with people!   I’d been awaiting the unveiling of the new Madame Tussauds location ever since hearing the news months ago that one was being built in Hollywood!!!   I had never been [...]

This past weekend, I dragged my fiance out to stalk a restaurant named James’ Beach that was featured in the 2009 romantic comedy I Love You, Man.    In the movie, Sydney Fife (aka Jason Segal) and Peter Klaven (aka Paul Rudd) have their very first man-date at the Venice Beach area restaurant, which Sydney alleges serves up the “best fish tacos in the world”.  So, of course, I just had to try the place out for myself, especially since tacos are pretty much my favorite food!

James’ Beach has actually [...]
