  • Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from The Drewseum website, asked me and fellow stalker Owen for some help in tracking down the home where the young E.T. star lived from 1984 through 1988.  Over the years, Ashley had accumulated a few clues as to the property’s location, mostly from Drew’s autobiography…

    Happy 2010!

    ‘ Just a quick note to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy New Year’s 2010!  I will be taking today off to celebrate with family and watch the Rose Parade, but I’ll be back on Monday with a whole new post.  🙂  Here’s wishing everyone a very safe and very happy New Year’s!…

  • Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory

    Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory

    ‘ A couple of months ago, while doing research on locations for my Haunted Hollywood postings, I came across some online images of Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory in Boyle Heights and practically started drooling over the place’s fabulously haunting chapel.  Then when I learned that the cemetery had been featured in the 1980 horror…

  • Skylight Books from “Veep”

    Skylight Books from “Veep”

    ‘ While we are on the subject of historic book shops featured in Washington, D.C.-based productions (you can read my post on Idle Time Books from A Few Good Men here), I would be remiss if I did not mention a bookseller that popped up on my new favorite show, Veep.  The Grim Cheaper and…

  • Westin Bonaventure Hotel

    Westin Bonaventure Hotel

    ‘ Chances are, if you’”‘”‘ve ever taken the 110 Freeway through Downtown Los Angeles, you’”‘”‘ve noticed the futuristic, space-age style structure located on the west side of the freeway. That building is the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, and it has been featured in countless movie and TV productions. The hotel, which is just as futuristic and…

  • Barone’s Famous Italian Restaurant from “The Office”

    Barone’s Famous Italian Restaurant from “The Office”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for quite a few weeks now is the Italian restaurant where the Dunder Mifflin gang hosted the annual Dundies Awards ceremony in the Season 7 episode of fave show The Office titled “Michael’s Last Dundies”.  I had an inkling that the eatery was most…

  • The Fremont Troll from “10 Things I Hate About You”

    The Fremont Troll from “10 Things I Hate About You”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was a famous Seattle-area sculpture known as the Fremont Troll, which appeared in a brief scene in the 1999 teen comedy 10 Things I Hate About You.  The Troll, which weighs two tons and was built out of wire, ferroconcrete, and…

  • Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House

    Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House

    ‘ As I mentioned last month, back on May 28th I attended the Jennifer Grant book signing for Good Stuff, the actress’ newly-penned memoir about her late father, movie star Cary Grant.  Well, I finally finished reading the tome last weekend and I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I…

  • Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    ‘ I am one of the few people lamenting the upcoming opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  Though renderings certainly look cool (it is Disney, after all!), I fear the massive crowds the new 14-acre land is expected to draw are going to ruin the park.  The Happiest Place on Earth is crowded enough! …

  • Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"

    Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"

    ‘ On The Hills, Heidi supposedly works at the event planning company Bolthouse Productions. I say “supposedly” not because I doubt that she actually works there, but because I doubt that she actually does any work. It seems the only two things Heidi ever does while at “work” are gossip with various co-workers about her…
