Explore the world of filming locations, celebrity homes, and everything Hollywood.
I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles. I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places. I recently decided to corral that inventory into a guide […]
I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie. I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below). If a restaurant has bone marrow […]
I love coffee pretty much more than life itself, but very rarely do I visit independent coffee houses. I am all about my Starbucks. I know, I know, true java aficionados are probably shaking their heads right now. But I like consistency – I like knowing that I can go into any Starbucks in any […]
If there is one thing I love almost as much as stalking, it’s shopping – and shopping in Los Angeles is in a class all its own. When I first moved to SoCal in 2000, I found myself in retail heaven. The city boasts a myriad of cute shopping districts, fabulous marketplaces, and one-of-a-kind stores. […]
I originally had more than twenty places featured on this list, but, to make it easier on myself, I decided to break up my Things To Do category into “Play” and “See.” Today, I’ll be covering Play, aka Los Angeles activities and attractions that I recommend. Enjoy! 1. Disneyland (1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim) – OK, […]
Today marks the end of my Guide to L.A. posts. I hope you had as much fun reading the series as I did putting it together. As I mentioned in yesterday’s article, to make things easier on myself I broke up my Things to Do recommendations into two categories, “Play” and “See,” though some of […]
Two weekends ago, my fiancé and I headed up to Santa Barbara to spend the Fourth of July holiday with some friends. And just minutes before we left, fellow stalker Kerry texted me to let me know that the 2009 romantic comedy It’s Complicated had been filmed in the area, just in case I wanted […]
The Complete Guide to Jerry Maguire Filming Locations, which I’ve partnered up with Greg Mariotti of The Uncool to compile, continues today! In case you missed it, be sure to check out Part I here below.
My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is a […]
Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited this past weekend while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley was the Union Pacific Railroad Piru Creek Bridge which stood in for the supposed Iowa-area bridge that Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) walked across during the opening scene of Burlesque. I once again found this locale […]
Another Fracture filming location that I recently stalked – without actually realizing it – was the Standard Hotel’s Rooftop Bar in Downtown L.A. I say “without actually realizing it” because at the time I stalked the place I had no idea it was a filming location. I ended up there while on the way to […]
Another Beverly Hills, 90210 location that I stalked recently was the Hyatt Westlake Plaza which stood in for both Brenda’s hotel – the Desert Palm Mirage – and Dylan’s hotel – the Desert Mirage – in the Season One episode entitled “A Fling in Palm Springs” (aka “Palm Springs Weekend”). Why that particular episode has […]
Thought I’d do a post tonight on another Craftsman style house – one that was featured on the series finale of On the last show of the series, after the Cohen home is destroyed in an earthquake, Seth and Ryan hatch a scheme to buy their parents back the Berkeley house they spent the early […]
Yet another Gossip Girl filming location that I stalked a few weeks back while vacationing in Manhattan is the train station known as Grand Central Terminal. But being that Grand Central has actually been featured in more than a few hundred productions since it first opened in 1913, it’s not really accurate to refer to […]
The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement. If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right. Instead I’ve been […]
Back in November, when my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Melissa, Beth, Kim, and Sandy, came out to Los Angeles from Ohio for a little stalking vacay, Lavonna booked them all a pampering session at The Painted Nail in Sherman Oaks – the salon that is featured regularly on the TV Guide Network’s reality series […]
