    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ Here’s wishing all of my fellow stalkers a very happy and safe Fourth of July!  I’m taking the day off, but will be back on Wednesday with a new post. ‘

  • Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    ‘ Spoiler alert!  If you have not yet seen Chef (and if not, what’s the hold up?  I told y’all on Friday that it was one of my favorite movies of 2014!), you might not want to read today’s post as I will definitely be spoiling the ending.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Anyhow,…

  • SPARCinLA from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    SPARCinLA from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are moving in a couple of days (we bought a house out here in the desert – our first house!) and while packing last week I informed him that as soon as we got settled we would be taking a trip to Los Angeles as I “have nothing to…

  • Taking the Day Off

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because I spent all day Friday taking care of my dad, who was not feeling well, and the rest of the weekend at the Hyatt Huntington Beach (pictured above), the spot which stands in for the new Beverly Hills Beach Club on fave show 90210, I was unfortunately not able to write a new…

  • Arthur Abbott’s House from “The Holiday”

    Arthur Abbott’s House from “The Holiday”

    ‘ Another location from the 2006 movie The Holiday that I set out to track down last week for my Christmas-themed stalking posts was the large Mediterranean-style abode where Arthur Abbott (aka The Misfits’ Eli Wallach) lived.  Thanks to the flick’s production notes, I knew that the property was located somewhere in Brentwood and that…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 –…

  • The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of the fact that I bailed on the television series Glee shortly after the second part of the first season began airing.  In my opinion, after starting out so strong, the show totally jumped the shark at that point.  But because I love the Big Apple, I did make sure…

  • The Magic Castle Hotel from “The Hills”

    The Magic Castle Hotel from “The Hills”

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time one of my fellow stalkers asked me for a reasonably-priced Hollywood area hotel recommendation . . . well, let’s just say that I’d have a lot more Louis Vuitton in my life than I do right now.  😉  And I never really had a solid answer…

  • Stalking San Diego

    Stalking San Diego

    ‘ Spent this past weekend in Coronado, a small island off the coast of San Diego, with my family to celebrate Father’”‘”‘s Day. My best friend, who lives nearby, came over to spend the day with me by the hotel pool and when she got there she mentioned that she was a “bit afraid” to…

  • The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    ‘ The internet has been going crazy as of late over images of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood filming on location in L.A.  The period piece, which stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Luke Perry (OMG!) and chronicles the murder of Sharon Tate, is set in 1960s Tinseltown.  As Tarantino…
