  • The Moonlight Mile Bar from “Beautiful Girls”

    The Moonlight Mile Bar from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ While going through my trusty stalking notebook this morning, I realized that I still have quite the backlog of Minnesota filming locations that I have yet to blog about.  Not to mention the slew of Seattle locales that I haven’t even yet begun to post!  I’m going to mix them all in with L.A.…

  • Triada Palm Springs

    Triada Palm Springs

    ‘ For those who are unfamiliar with the area, Palm Springs is HOT in the summer.  Well, it’s hot year-round, but in the summer it’s hot hot – like 115 most days.  One nice consequence of that fact is that hotels drop their prices during the inclement months.  My family loves to partake of the…

  • Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Oh, how this stalker loves herself a dark, wood-paneled bar!  There is just something so warm and inviting about them, which is probably why they are featured regularly onscreen.  One that I was quite fixated on tracking down for years was the supposed Tempe, Arizona-area “Crocodile,” where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got stood up…

  • Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    ‘ Last October, while I was knee-deep in my Haunted Hollywood postings, fellow stalker/prolific author E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, emailed me to let me know about his book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites: Sixteen Driving Tours with Directions and the Full Story, from Tallulah Bankhead to River Phoenix, which he thought I might…

  • Taking the Week Off!

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be spending the upcoming week in the Desert visiting my parents, so I will be taking the next five days off from blogging.  But I did have a fabulous pre-Oscar week during which I finally got a picture with my “unicorn”, Miss Kristin Cavallari, who, I am very happy to report, was…

  • The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) attended a “private art museum” fundraiser in the 1991 comedy.  Because the home was so architecturally unique, I was sure that it would be an easy find.  I…

  • Justine’s House from “The Good Girl”

    Justine’s House from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ Today’s post is going to be a rather short one as I spent most of the day yesterday with my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, attending the annual craft fair at her work – which was loads of fun, but, unfortunately, did not leave much time for blogging.  So please…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    ‘ 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…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Hotel Cortez from “American Horror Story: Hotel”

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine article, about the various locations that mask as Hotel Cortez on American Horror Story: Hotel!  My articles typically get published in the early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The “Jack and Jill” House

    The “Jack and Jill” House

    ‘ This past Sunday afternoon, while doing some stalking in the Pacific Palisades area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper over to Amalfi Drive to stalk the main house used in the 2011 movie Jack and Jill.  And I should mention here that while I did not have very high hopes for Jack and Jill before…
