Hanging Out at the Rehearsals for the Golden Globe Awards
‘ Two Saturdays ago, as the Grim Cheaper and I were heading out to Santa Monica to run some errands, I got a text message from fellow stalker Lavonna reminding me that the Golden Globe Awards were being held the following evening at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Lavonna suggested that I stop…

The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House
‘ Let’s be honest – remakes are rarely, if ever, good. Especially if they’re of the made-for-television movie variety. Despite that fact, when I heard that the house from the 1991 made-for-television remake of Shadow of a Doubt was located right across the street from the pad featured in the 1943 original, I just had…

Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”
‘ I have a major thing for modern houses. So it’s no shock that my favorite locale from the new Netflix series Dead to Me is the uber-contemporary abode belonging to Judy Hale’s (Linda Cardellini) ex, Steve Wood (James Marsden). Huge, avant-garde and decidedly unique, I fell in love with the place as soon as…

The Majestic Downtown from “The Holiday”
‘ The Holiday has definitely been on my brain as of late. I wrote about two of the houses used in the 2006 film for the December issue of Los Angeles magazine and recently got to tour Thorne Hall at Occidental College, the setting of one of its most poignant scenes. So I figured it…

‘ In 1975, after the real-life owner of The Mary Tyler Moore Show house put a big, fat ixnay on letting the series do any more filming on her property, producers decided to move their spunky heroine to the newly-built, multi-colored apartment complex known as Cedar Square West in the Cedar-Riverside area of Minneapolis.

The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”
‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut. And I am apparently in good company with that opinion – according to the Contact Music website, James Cameron, Sam Raimi and Stephen King are also huge fans…

The Starsky & Hutch Mansion
‘ A few weeks ago, my mom drove me by what has to be one of the biggest houses I’”‘”‘ve ever seen in my entire life! The property spans almost an entire city block! When you drive by it literally just keeps on going and going and going! LOL My mom showed me the absolutely ginormous…

Moving Day!
‘ My parents officially moved to Palm Springs today, marking the first time in over a decade that we will not be living in the same zip code. Watching their U-Haul drive off was one of the saddest moments I’ve experienced as of late, so I was not in a really good place to write…

Halloween Countdown!
‘ I had a bit of car trouble yesterday and, in dealing with that, did not have time to write a new post. But I will be back on Monday . . . with the start of my Haunted Hollywood locales! Yay! I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend and that…
