  • Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally home from a blissful two weeks in Switzerland. It was so hard to leave my best friend and his amazing family (pictured above) and the beauty of their country – especially being that when we returned to Palm Springs, temperatures were around 122 degrees! I will be…

  • Caesars Palace from “The Hangover”

    Caesars Palace from “The Hangover”

    ‘ My recent trip to Las Vegas with the Grim Cheaper was magical, due in large part to the fact that we stayed at Caesars Palace.  Neither the GC nor I had ever stayed there before and, while planning our trip, I decided to see what the rates were.  I happened to find a remarkably…

  • O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are absolutely hooked on the new FX series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which is not surprising considering we have both been fascinated with the case since the beginning – as has the rest of the world.  While watching the first episode, titled “From the Ashes…

  • Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    ‘ This is going to be a short post today as I have had a whirlwind weekend (which I promise to write about tomorrow!)  and had no time to blog.  Anyway, a few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me out to stalk a location from one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time  – the Drew Barrymore/Adam…

  • Hacienda Palomino – Michael Jackson’s Former Las Vegas House

    Hacienda Palomino – Michael Jackson’s Former Las Vegas House

    ‘ I am not really that into stalking celebrity homes (though I have quite a few of them on my site), the main reason being that typically little else besides a gate can be seen from the road.  There are some exceptions, though.  If there is a star I really like, or if I read…

  • Halloween 2017

    Halloween 2017

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Big Little Lies over the past couple of months (you can read my many posts on its filming locations here, here, here, and here), so it should come as no surprise that the HBO miniseries figured into my and the Grim Cheaper’s 2017 Halloween costumes.  Interestingly…

  • Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    ‘ I have never been a big Barbra Streisand fan.  Sure, she’s an undeniably talented singer – and actress and director, for that matter – but I’m just not that into music.  And that whole Rosie-O’Donnell-having-to-rearrange-her-stage-to-showcase-Barbra’s-better-side thing really turned me off.  I won’t even get in to her absolutely cringe-worthy Inside the Actors Studio interview. …

  • Brangelina – At It Again!

    Brangelina – At It Again!

    ‘ The new Hello Magazine just hit the shelves with pics of Brangelina’”‘”‘s newborn twin babies. The cover of Hello looks to be an almost exact replica of the famous People Magazine cover photograph taken of Brad and Angie with newborn baby Shiloh back in June of 2006. So I just had to do a…

  • Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    ‘ I often find myself thinking about how fabulous it would be if Instagram had existed back when Beverly Hills, 90210 was still on the air.  One of my most-loved down-time activities is perusing the feed of actors currently starring on shows I watch to see the various behind-the-scenes stories and photos they post.  Not…

  • Weatherwolde Castle

    Weatherwolde Castle

    ‘ It is not everyday one comes across a mention of a random castle located on a sleepy residential street in Los Angeles.  So when I found out about Weatherwolde Castle in Tujunga thanks to this page on the Dupont Castle website a couple of summers ago, I took immediate note and started researching further. …
