People’s Revolution

This weekend, I dragged my boyfriend to People’s Revolution, the clothing PR firm where Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port now work on my fave show The Hills. I have to admit I was a little nervous walking up to the storefront of People’s Revolution as I was a bit afraid that Kelly Cutrone might come out and bite my head off if she saw me taking a picture in front of her store. She does not seem like a nice lady! LOL I needn’t have worried, though, as the windows of People’s Revolution are completely blacked out and it is impossible to see inside the shop. I wonder if this was always the case, or if it is a recent development due to hordes of paparazzi and fans stalking the shop.

People’s Revolution is a tiny little storefront located directly on Melrose Avenue, not too far from the Groundlings Theatre. Stalkers beware, though – there is a sign on the front door warning that admittance is by appointment only. 🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: People’s Revolution is located at 7005 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. It is in sort of a dodgy neighborhood, so I wouldn’t recommend stalking it at night.

Brenda and Dylan’s First Date

Ever since I saw the Season One episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Isn’t it Romantic” waaaaay back in 1991, I have been absolutely obsessed with finding the movie theatre where Brenda and Dylan went on their first date. While stalking in Studio City a few weeks ago, I happened upon a Barnes and Noble bookstore located in a former movie theatre that looked like it might be the very same theatre from 90210. When I went inside to talk to the staff I discovered that sure enough, the former Fox Studio City Theatre was indeed the location of Brenda and Dylan’s first date. In the episode, Brenda, Dylan and Brandon attend a Marx Brothers film festival at the theatre. Later in the episode, Brenda gets stood up by Dylan at this same theatre.

The Fox Studio City Theatre has been used as a filming location on several occasions, most often in commercials. The theatre was a Studio City staple for over 50 years, until it closed its doors in 1991 and was purchased by a bookstore named Bookstar. A few years later, Bookstar, too, closed its doors and became a Barnes and Noble. Thankfully, the exterior of the theatre remain unchanged and looks just as it did back in the 90210 days. Even the old time ticket booth is still standing. You can see a vintage photograph of the old theatre here.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: The former Fox Studio City Theatre, now Barnes and Noble, can be found at 12136 Ventura Boulevard. The Barnes and Noble is a very cool place to walk around as it still has the feel of an old Hollywood theatre. It is located in an adorable part of town, with lots of cute boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops.

The “Guess Who” House

Guess Who House Thanks to fellow stalker Mike over at MovieShotsLA I was able to stalk the house from the Ashton Kutcher movie Guess Who today. I was extremely excited to stalk this house because I just found out that the back of it was used as the back of Steve Martin’s residence in the movie Father of the Bride. The front of the Father of the Bride house can be found in Pasadena, about 5 miles away from the Guess Who house location. I guess the backyard of the Pasadena house wasn’t exactly what the filmmakers were looking for, so they ventured to Alhambra and used this location instead.

This puts to rest a long-standing argument between me and one of my mom’s good friends. She insisted that the Father of the Bride house was located in Alhambra, while I believed it was in Pasadena. Apparently her friend lives near the Alhambra house and saw Father of the Bride being filmed there. Well, it turns out we were both right! 🙂 All of the backyard scenes were indeed filmed at the Guess Who house, including the basketball scenes and the BBQ scene. Annie’s basketball hoop from the movie is still standing and you can see it in the picture to the left.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: The Guess Who house is located at 500 N. Almansor Road in Alhambra. It is just a few blocks South of Huntington Drive and not too far from the 13 Going on 30 houses.

Sherman Oaks, 90210

Kelly Taylor\'s house My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA just told me the address of Kelly Taylor’s house from my fave show of all time Beverly Hills, 90210, so today (my first day off since quitting my job) I ran right out to stalk it! I was absolutely floored to see Kelly’s house in person, as I had been trying to stalk this location since the 90s! Kelly’s modern style house looks almost exactly the same as it did back in the 90210 days, except that some very large trees have been planted in front of the home. I wonder if they were planted to keep stalkers from coming by to take pictures. 🙂

Tony Danza\'s house Coincidentally, last night, on one of my fave stalking sites, I read that Tony Danza recently sold his 6,778-square-foot-home, which just happens to be on the same street as Kelly Taylor’s home! Small world! So I just had to stalk his house today, as well. Tony lives in a ginormous house which is surprisingly quite visible from the road. He purchased the home from Robert Urich back in 1986 and had it completely rebuilt after it was destroyed in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Tony is apparently selling it due to his recent separation from his wife.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Kelly Taylor\'s House II Stalk It: Kelly Taylor’s house can be found at 3959 Longridge Avenue in Sherman Oaks. Tony Danza’s former manse is located just a few blocks away at 3637 Longridge. Kelly and Tony’s neighborhood is absolutely beautiful, with many huge homes, and I highly recommend stalking it.
