NUP_135040_0002

For those of you like me out there, for whom one day a week is just not enough to satisfy your Spencer and Heidi fix, I have good news!!  Everyone’s favorite reality TV duo will be starring in the upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here,  which premieres on June 1st.   For those of you who have never watched the Get Me Out Of Here  reality series, it is basically a celebrity version of Survivor.  In the season opener, seven celebs (including Speidi) will be dropped off in a remote Costa Rican jungle without make-up artists, publicists, or even personal assistants to keep them company!  The celeb contestants will be forced to sleep outdoors in hammocks and eat meals consisting of rice, water, and even bugs!!  The stars will also participate in challenges to raise money for their particular charities.  Each week, viewers will have a chance to vote off a different contestant, until one is eventually crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.  This show sounds like it’s right up my alley and I absolutely cannot wait to watch it!!!!  🙂

What’s even more exciting is that one of the executives from I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here  was kind enough to send me some location pics from the show so that I could share them with all of you!!!!  So cool!!!!!  🙂  Pictured above are a swamp and a bridge that will be used in the filming.  🙂  Love it!!

sidebar at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel

Since I am now 100% on Team Speidi, this weekend I just had to drag my boyfriend out to sidebar, the Beverly Hills lounge where the reality TV duo hosted one of their two wedding receptions.  Sidebar, which is spelled with a lowercase “s”, is located  inside of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel – aka the Pretty Woman  hotel –  where many of the wedding festivities took place.  Truth be told, I actually wanted to book a room at the Beverly Wilshire the weekend of the Speidi nuptials, but my boyfriend (aka the Grim Cheaper) was having none of that.   LOL 

img_2010-800

Sidebar lounge is located directly adjacent to the Wolfgang Puck restaurant CUT, which has long been a favorite of the newlyweds and was where they held their rehearsal dinner on Friday, April 24th.  In fact, the duo are such huge fans of the restaurant, that back in September of 2008 they were honored by Wolfgang himself, who placed two large photographs of the couple taken by renowned celebrity photographer Martin Scholler at the entrance to his restaurant.  CUT actually has several celebrity photographs by Martin lining its walls, including those of Britney Spears, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney, and Jack Nicholson.  But the photographs of Speidi are by far the largest, and most prominently placed, in the entire restaurant.  Love it!  When the photographs were first unveiled, Spencer said, “It feels better than winning an Academy Award.”  LOL LOL LOL  I have to say that if my favorite restaurant, POP Champagne Bar, placed a 5′ by 3′ photograph of me on their wall, I’d be pretty floored, too.  🙂  Spencer and Heidi are by no means the restaurant’s only celebrity fans, though.  Mark Wahlberg, Courteney Cox, Isla Fisher, Chris O’Donnell, and Avril Lavigne have also all been spotted at the eatery.

img_2011-800

I have to say that I absolutely LOVED sidebar!!!!  The staff was SUPER friendly, the champagne was A-MA-ZING, and the food was unbelievable!!!!!  I just about died over their Kobe beef sliders and I don’t even like red meat!  LOL  Sidebar is very reasonably priced, too, especially for Beverly Hills, which made my boyfriend extremely happy. ; )  With your cocktail order comes a serving of some amazing marinated olives, homemade BBQ potato chips, wasabi peas, and cinnamon/nutmeg almonds – all for free!   I can’t recommend stalking sidebar enough!  I am fairly certain it will be a regular stalking spot for me now.  🙂

img_2018-800

img_2020-800

If you visit sidebar, be sure to check out the Pretty Woman  display in the Beverly Wilshire’s lobby.   I make it a point to stop by there everytime I visit the hotel.  No matter how many times I see that display window, it never seems to get old.  🙂  On display are several stills from the movie and an early draft of the script, which was originally entitled “Three Thousand” – a reference to the amount Richard Gere pays to have Julia Roberts spend the week with him.  🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂

img_2023-800

Stalk It: Both CUT and sidebar are located inside of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, which can be found at 9500 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.   Although sidebar is reasonably priced for cocktails, CUT is a higher end restaurant, so, be prepared to pay.  🙂  The Pretty Woman  display is located near the women’s restroom, just off the hotel lobby.  

Speidi’s Wedding

img_7067-800

Well, it finally happened!   Yesterday was the big day!  The reality TV event of the season!  What I’m sure was for some fans the wedding of the century!   I, of course, am talking about the nuptials of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag that took place yesterday at around 5 p.m. in Pasadena.  And, I, of course, was on the scene to stalk the whole thing!  🙂  My boyfriend and I arrived at Westminster Presbyterian Church at around 12:30 yesterday afternoon.  The original plan was to snap a few photos of the wedding set-up, leave, and then come back at around 4 p.m.to take some more pics.  Well, what’s that quote about the best laid plans of mice and men?  🙂 I took one look at the absolute pandemonium that was already in place at 12:30 and that was it for me!  I was not going anywhere!  LOL  So, yes, I stood out on the sidewalk in front of that church from 12:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. yesterday watching the incredible media shitstorm that Speidi had created.  And, let me tell you, I loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT!  🙂

img_6226-800

I actually have to say that “shitstorm” doesn’t even begin to describe what was taking place yesterday!  The wedding was originally scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and three and a half hours prior to that there were already about forty photographers and paparazzi lining the street.  The entire city block surrounding the church had virtually been shut down and there were at least 50 policemen and another 50 private security guards on duty.  It was absolute insanity!  Honestly, it was bigger than any film shoot I’ve ever witnessed.  When we first arrived at the church, Heidi and Spencer were already inside getting ready and their Rolls Royce Phantom was parked right outside (pictured above).

img_6232-800

img_6254-800

img_6237-800

From the outside, it looked as if a film shoot was taking place, complete with a ginormous lighting truck set up shining bright lights through the church windows.  Being that the whole event was being taped for The Hills, I guess in a sense a film shoot was taking place.  But standing outside watching everything, I almost forgot it was a real life wedding that I was there to see.  🙂

img_6290-800

img_6286-800

The security for the wedding was INTENSE!  Every single guest had to show their drivers license upon entering the church, sign photo releases, and have their photographs taken.  There were also metal detectors set up inside of the church, which I am pretty sure were there to ensure that no guests brought cameras inside.

img_1960-800

Early in the afternoon, Heidi’s real father stepped outside the church in full cowboy regalia to make a phone call.  LOL

img_6308-800

img_6319

Lauren and Audrina were some of the first guests to arrive.  Lauren arrived at around 2 p.m. and Audrina at around 2:30.  All of The Hills stars were shuttled in through a back entrance so we didn’t get to see any of them until after the ceremony was over.  🙁  The only Hills stars who did make an appearance prior to the wedding were Brody Jenner and his girlfriend Jayde Nicole, who were dropped off right in front of the church.  Unfortunately neither of them waved or even looked up at the photographers or fans who were screaming their names.  🙁

img_6341-800

img_6385-800

And then things got really exciting!!  All of a sudden I noticed all of the security guards and policemen looking up at the sky.  It turns out that Spencer had hired a plane to write both “Spencer Loves Heidi” and “Heidi’s #1 Hit On iTunes” in the sky.

img_6354-800

img_6362-8001

Next thing I know, out walks the man himself, Spencer Pratt, to see the skywriting for himself!  🙂  YAY!  Spencer was actually shorter than I thought he would be, maybe about 5’7″, and better looking than he appears on TV.  As soon as Spencer walked out, the crowd went absolutely NUTS.   And he was extremely friendly, waving and smiling for the cameras.  He actually seemed a lot different in person than the guy he portrays on TV.    That ever-present chip that seems to reside on his shoulder whenever cameras are rolling didn’t appear to be there yesterday.  He actually didn’t seem like a jerk at all.  I can’t tell you how excited I was to see Spencer in person!!!!  I even yelled out “Congratulations” and he said back “Thank you!”  LOL

img_6366-800

img_6369-800

img_6372-800

By the time Spencer had come outside, the skywriting had all but disappeared and one of the young girls standing across the street told him she had taken pictures of the writing.  So, Spencer walked across the street to take a look at her photos and then posed for a picture with her and her friends, which I thought was so sweet.  NO ONE else from The Hills did anything even remotely close to this yesterday, in fact most of them wouldn’t even wave to the fans, so that’s really when my opinion of Spencer started to change.

img_6593-800

The next “celeb” to arrive was Perez Hilton, who pretty much looked like he just rolled right out of bed for the event.  He was actually wearing khaki pants and a hoodie!! underneath a blazer.  What a complete and total douchebag!  I cannot even believe he got invited to the wedding!  I so should have been invited instead!  🙂

img_6633-800

img_6635

Next up was Justin Bobby, who arrived solo.  And Justin Bobby’s outfit pretty much made Perez Hilton look like a fashion model!!!  Justin actually showed up in what can best be described as pirate pants!  I’m not kidding!  They were calf length and completely frayed at the bottom.  Coupled with his black combat boots, the guy looked like he had come directly off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean.  WHAT A MORON!  I couldn’t zoom in close enough to get a good pic of his pants, but you can kind of see them in the above photo.

img_6736-800

Next up was Heidi’s boss, Brent Bolthouse, who is literally about five feet tall, and Brody’s BFF Frankie Delgado.

img_6823-8001

And then, up walked “Stacey the Bartender”, and all of the fans in attendance pretty much gasped all at once.  LOL  After the drama she caused between Spencer and Heidi this season on The Hills we could not figure out WHY in the heck she would be invited!  It is at this point that I should mention that most of the fans in attendance were 13 year old girls.  Why is it always me and the 13 year old girls?  LOL

img_6851-800

Even though the ceremony was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m., it didn’t actually start until right around 5.  You can see Heidi’s real dad entering the church in his cowboy style tuxedo right before the ceremony began.  LOL

img_6867

These two idiots didn’t show up to the church until about 5:15 (over an hour and fifteen minutes late!) and, because the ceremony had already started, weren’t allowed inside!  LOL LOL LOL  What a couple of douchebags!  If you were lucky enough to have scored an invite to Spencer and Heidi’s wedding, wouldn’t you have MADE SURE you arrived there on time??

img_6411-8001

img_6919-800

img_6920-800

img_6989-800

Speidi’s wedding ceremony only lasted about thirty minutes or so.  During that time everyone pretty much just hung around, waiting with bated breath for the two to make their appearance.  Earlier in the day I had made friends with an event photographer who was on hand to cover the Speidi wedding, so the two of us just chatted while the ceremony was taking place.  She was incredibly nice and told me about all sorts of adventures she has had being a celeb photographer.  Then next thing we knew, hordes of policemen started walking across the street, I guess as a means of crowd control.  They told us to take all the photographs we wanted, but to please not run across the street when Spencer and Heidi exited the church.  By this time there were so many people there it was almost unbelievable!  There had to be over 100 paparazzi on the scene and easily over 300 fans.  Paparazzi were literally climbing the roofs of nearby apartment buildings to get good shots.  LOL

img_6897-8001

img_6900-800

The first guest to leave the church after the ceremony was over was Lauren Conrad, aka LC.  It seemed as if she left the place pretty much as soon as she could.  It was a real bummer, too, as she kept her head down upon exiting the church and would not even wave or smile to the paparazzi or the fans that were there.  I thought that was a pretty crappy thing to do, especially being that all of the fans on site were little kids.   I can’t say I was surprised, though, as I didn’t get a very good impression of her when I watched The Hills being filmed back in August.

img_6908-800

Right after Lauren left, all of the wedding guests filed out of the church and made their way to the front entrance for the bouquet toss;

img_6936-800

including Heidi’s dad in his classy tux!  LOL  🙂

img_6946-800

While the normal guests filed out of the church’s side doors, all of The Hills stars came out of the front entrance, including Heidi’s mom Darlene (who is super tiny in person!) and her sister, and maid-of-honor, Holly;

img_6959-800

and my fave Kristin Cavallari, who looked AMAZING and who was also very friendly to the paparazzi and fans :).  I can’t tell you how excited I will be if the rumors are true and Kristin really is joining The Hills once Lauren leaves.  🙂

img_6987-800

At this point there were SO many people lined up outside the church that Brent Bolthouse actually started taking pictures of us all with his cell phone.  LOL

img_7000-8001

img_7010-800

img_7012-800

img_7013-8001

img_7014-800

And then came the moment we had been waiting all day for!  Out walked the newlyweds – Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Pratt!   Heidi looked absolutely beautiful.  I loved her dress – it looked like frosting.  🙂

img_7022-800

img_7016-800

Then, of course, the couple kissed for us.  🙂

img_7039-800

img_7041-800

And, finally, Heidi tossed her bouquet, which was caught by Kristin Cavallari.  Incidentally, all of the female stars of The Hills were strategically placed right in front of Heidi so that one of them would be sure to catch it.  🙂

img_7057-800

img_7060-800

Speidi then said hello to all of the fans in attendance and Heidi blew everyone a kiss.

img_7045-800

Then, after saying goodbye to everyone,

img_7076-800

img_7082-8001

the newlyweds made off in their Rolls Royce.

img_7137-8001

img_7193-800

After Speidi left, Lo, Audrina, Kristin, and Stephanie hung around and chatted for a bit.

img_7204-800

And, then, next thing we knew, there were Spencer and Heidi pulling up in their Rolls once again to say hi to all the fans, which I thought was SUPER sweet!  A bunch of little girls ran up to take pics with the newlyweds, but unfortunately the paparazzi immediately swarmed the car, so no one could get photos of anything.  I guess one of the little girls was getting pushed out of the way by the paps, and Spencer yelled out “Hey, come on you guys!  She’s a little girl!  Be careful!!!”  See, what I mean, he’s a nice guy!  🙂  After that, Speidi took off once again and the guests and paparazzi pretty much dispersed.

img_7201-800

Here’s a pic of Holly’s bridesmaid dress, which came from BCBG and was really, really pretty. 🙂

img_7044-800

And there you have it – the whole event from start to finish from a stalker’s point of view.  🙂  I have to admit that, thanks to yesterdays festivities, my opinion of Spencer Pratt, and consequently his new wife Heidi, has completely changed.  I love these two now.  🙂  Sure, people are going to say OF COURSE Spencer came outside and posed for the paps and the fans because he is a publicity hound.  But that’s really not the impression I got.  He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.  I mean, he walked across the street and posed for photos with his fans when no one else from the show would.  At one point fans were BEGGING Heidi’s sister, Holly, who is an absolute nobody, to come across the street to take pictures, but she refused.  I have a soft spot in my heart for any celeb who is nice to their fans, especially their little girl admirers.  Because once upon a time I was that little girl and I can’t even imagine how excited I would have been had I had the chance to meet my favorite star and he was nice to me!  From what I observed yesterday, Spencer did not come off as the arrogant douchebag that he portrays himself to be on The Hills.  I honestly think that in real life he is a nice guy, who realized very early on that the more outrageous he and Heidi acted, the more money they could cash in on.  And now I think the two of them are laughing all the way to the bank.  So, you know what, more power to ’em!   🙂  And I thank them sincerely for being so media friendly and announcing to the world exactly when and where their wedding would be taking place so that I could be a part of it, as it was an experience I will never forget!  🙂

Big THANK YOU to my boyfriend who acted as my paparazzi for the day and took all of the above photos!  Yes, he actually stood out there with me for the entire six hours!  My own father wouldn’t even do that for me, so I guess I really have to hold on to this one.  🙂

Side note – I will not be writing a new blog for Monday, since this one took me pretty much all day to write.  🙂  But I’ll be back on Tuesday with some more stalking!

Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂

Stalk It: Spencer and Heidi’s wedding church is Westminster Presbyterian Church located at 1757 North Lake Avenue in Pasadena.

Well, it’s official!    The reality TV couple that everyone loves to hate tied the knot at a Pasadena church earlier today .  And, of course, I was there to stalk it!!!!  🙂   I have to say it was A-MA-ZING to be there and surprisingly enough, I think I am now on Team Spencer!  I can’t quite believe it myself, but he seemed like a really nice guy in the little that I saw of him.  Is it possible his douchebag routine is put on solely for the cameras???  Anyway, I promise to do a full write-up on the whole event tomorrow, but for now enjoy the following pictures.  🙂

Stalk It: Spencer and Heidi’s wedding ceremony took place at Westminster Presbyterian Church, located at 1757 North Lake Avenue in Pasadena.

Spencer and Heidi’s Wedding!

UPDATE: They actually did it (again)! Check out pictures from Saturday’s wedding here.

img_0026-800

My favorite reality TV duo, better known as Heidi and Spencer, have caused a media shitstorm yet again by announcing that they will be tying the knot – for real this time – in two short weeks right in my hometown of Pasadena.  🙂  Early in the week, I actually got a tip that Speidi would be at the Westminster Presbyterian Church (which I’ve blogged about in the past) this past Wednesday and, of course, went right out to stalk the place.  But unfortunately the normally camera friendly duo stayed inside the church the whole time they were there and I didn’t get to see them.  I did get to chat with quite a few paparazzi on the scene, though, one of whom actually gave me his phone number as he said it seemed I had more information than he did.  He actually told me to call him next time I had a tip!  🙂  LOL  Anyway, I had a feeling that Speidi might be visiting the church for reasons relating to their wedding and now it sounds like my hunch might just be correct.  (I took the above photos of Westminster Presbyterian back in June when the movie Valkyrie was being filmed there.)

img_0023-800

img_0022-800

Earlier this evening E! News reported that my two favorite douchebags will be marrying on Saturday, April 25th, in a “sunset” ceremony at an “undisclosed Pasadena location”.   Now I am not sure if Speidi’s wedding will actually take place at Westminster Presbyterian, but I do know that the church is going to figure in the ceremony in some form or another.  Quite possibly, a pastor from the church will be officiating the nuptials, but they will take place elsewhere.  Either way, I’ll give you one guess as to where I’m going to be on April 25th right around sunset.  🙂

According to E!, the reception is taking place on a rooftop somewhere in Pasadena.  Well, the only wedding locale with a rooftop in the Pasadena area that I know of is the Pasadena Museum of California Art.  So that’s my best guess as to where the reception is going to take place.  Now, don’t quote me on any of this, as I am simply going on quite a few large hunches.  Only time will tell whether those hunches prove to be correct, but my fingers are sure crossed.  🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂

Stalk It: Westminster Presbyterian Church is located at 1757 North Lake Avenue in Pasadena.  The Pasadena Museum of California Art is located at 490 East Union Street, also in Pasadena.

Crossroads School

Last night my boyfriend gave me an article entitled “The Speidi Chronicles” that he had saved for me from Sunday’s LA Times and it was all about Spencer and Heidi. I swear I really need to marry this guy! 🙂 Anyway, Spencer and Heidi sat down at Don Antonio’s for the interview and over some quesadillas and fajitas they opened up about life on The Hills. Ever notice how every time Spencer and Heidi sit down for an interview, it’s always at Don Antonio’s?!? Anyway, besides revealing juicy little tidbits like the fact that Heidi didn’t get paid a dime for being a part of the first season and that while she had to pay rent for their Park La Brea Apartment Lauren did not, the article also dilvulged that Spencer attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica. Since I happened to be in Santa Monica today, I just had to go stalk it!

Besides being Spencer Pratt’s alma mater, the school has educated a slew of other famous celebs and their children, including Kate Hudson, Cash Warren, Baron Davis, Michael Bay, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jack Black, Jake Busey, Sean Astin, and (total coincidence) Whitney Port. I wonder if she knew Spencer in high school! Although Crossroads is a highly prestigious school, it has also attracted its fair share of scruitiny. A book written in 2004 called Hollywood Interrupted did not paint a very flattering picture of the school or its students and neither did a 2005Vanity Fair article.

The school is very modern looking and has some highly unique architecture. I definitely recommend doing a drive by if you get the chance.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: Crossroads School is located at 1714 21st Street, just off Olympic Boulevard, in Santa Monica. The school is very close to the Epic Records office building where Audrina works.

Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!

img_1868.jpg

I don’t know what’s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical answer. All I can say is that even though I think Spencer and Heidi are both complete douchebags, I am still totally obsessed with them!

img_1870.jpg

For the past few months I have spent countless hours on Los Angeles apartment websites searching for Speidi’s building, with no luck whatsoever. I was beginning to think I was losing my touch! (Gasp!) So, this weekend, as a last resort, I bought Season Two of The Hills in the hopes that I could find some clue as to their apartment’s location on the DVDs. A side benefit in purchasing Season 2 on DVD is that I can now watch the scene where Heidi tells Spencer that her answer to moving in with him is “No” and he says “Sweet! My answer is get out of my car!” over and over again! I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that! 🙂

img_1874.jpg

Anyway, success came pretty quickly because on the Season 2 Finale, in the scene when Spencer first shows Heidi the apartment, I found a few clues that led me to the right spot. I first noticed the address number “1333” behind Spencer’s head as he was sitting on the front steps of the building waiting for Heidi. After they tour the apartment, he takes her out onto the balcony and points out various Hollywood hot spots that he and Heidi frequent. That let me know the apartment had to be in Hollywood, west of Las Palmas Ave. From there I just googled the terms “1333” and “Hollywood Apartments” which led me to a listing Craig’s List  and I knew I had found it!

I dragged my boyfriend to the La Fontaine apartments this afternoon to check out the place – and since I just happen to be in the market for an apartment myself, I buzzed the manager to take us on a tour of the available units. 🙂 The apartments are really nice on the inside – dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, granite counter-tops. If only the one we viewed had the word “Hollywood” graffiti-ed on the living room wall, I just might have taken it right then and there! 🙂

img_1869.jpg

Stalk It: Spencer and Heidi’s apartment building, La Fontaine, is located at 1333 N. Curson in Hollywood. You can check out the La Fontaine website here – http://www.frostchaddock.com/. For $2700 and up, you can be Speidi’s neighbor! To take a tour of the available apartments, buzz the manager at the sister building across the street at 1322 N. Curson.

I am in love – and his name is Don Antonio!

Don Antonio’sLike most everyone who watches, I, too, think Spencer and Heidi from The Hillsare complete douchbags – but I still had to go find the restaurant they seem to visit on every episode – Don Antonio’s.   It was easy enough to find with a simple Google search and, with camera in hand, my boyfriend and I ventured out there one Friday night.   It is a cute little place, that is usually jam packed with people.  I thought at first that the many visitors were all Hillsfans like myself hoping for a Speidi sighting, but now that I have eaten there, I realize that most likely the hordes of people are there for the food and not the celeb sightings.  The food at Don Antonio’s is nothing short of INCREDIBLE!  The homemade chicken tamales, the special burrito, and the fajitas are my favorites – but no matter what you chose, you cannot go wrong!!!  My boyfriend and I now visit Don Antonio’s at least twice a week – alas with no sightings of Spencer and Heidi as of yet.  But we did see Anne Ramsay, who played Helen Hunt’s sister on Mad About You, in the bar one night.  Upon arriving I always ask if Spencer and Heidi are there eating, but I’ve never had the luck of being there at the same time.  According to the ultra-friendly employees, who now know me as “the girl who is always looking for Spencer and Heidi”, they dine at Don Antonio’s at least three times a week, usually around 7PM at night.  Hopefully one day I’ll get to see Speidi in the flesh, but until then, I am perfectly happy just enjoying the food at my new favorite restaurant!

Note – And no, according to employees, the “Spencer Steak” on the menu is not named after Spencer from The Hills.

Until next time, Happy Stalking!

Stalk It:Don Antonio’s is located at 11755 W. Pico Blvd. in West Los Angeles, near Overland Ave.  There is plenty of street parking most of the time, but on Friday evenings after 7PM, you’ll be lucky to even get a valet spot – and the wait is usually over 45 minutes.  Trust me, though – it is well worth it!!!  Come for the celeb sightings – stay for the food!  The prices are super reasonable, too.
