    Vertical Wine Bistro

    ‘ Even though I am not usually a going-out-on-New-Year’s-Eve type of girl, this year I wanted nothing more than to ring in 2010 with a glass of champagne at my very favorite restaurant, POP Champagne Bar in Pasadena.  But being that I am not now, nor never have been, a night person – I can’t…

    If You Two Ever Have Kids and One of Them Accidentally Sets Fire to the Living Room Rug . . .

    ‘ My family and I were supposed to take the red eye home from Hawaii on Wednesday night, but en route to the airport we decided to turn in our tickets and stay a few more days. LOL It was a totally spur of the moment thing and SO MUCH FUN! I can’”‘”‘t even believe…

  • Rest Easy, Luke

    Rest Easy, Luke

    ‘ Coy Luther Perry III – I scrawled that name in my high school notebooks more times than I care to admit, along with his better known moniker, Luke Perry.  My bedroom was also wallpapered with images of the dreamy teen idol.  I even slept on Beverly Hills, 90210 sheets!  And, at the age of…

  • The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    ‘ As I’ve said before, stalking begets stalking.  Back in January, I wrote a post about a spectacular abandoned residence that had been featured in recent episodes of both Major Crimes and Parks and Recreation.  A longtime reader (a veeeery longtime reader, pretty sure he’s been with me since the beginning!) named John was intrigued…

  • Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk a historic restaurant named Carmine’s II, which was featured prominently in the recently-aired Season 2 episode of Modern Family titled “Boys’ Night”.  Carmine’s has been a virtual West-L.A.-institution for almost four decades now, having originally been founded in 1972 by New York…

  • The New Wilson House on 90210

    The New Wilson House on 90210

    ‘ I can’t even believe I am about to say what I am about to say, but ever since watching Tuesday night’s season premiere, I am absolutely, one hundred percent hooked on the new 90210.  While the first season of the show left much to be desired, this past week’s episode was nothing short of…

  • 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…

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • Stalking in Palmdale!

    Stalking in Palmdale!

    ‘ My dad and I spent the entire day yesterday stalking locales in the Palmdale area – something I have been absolutely DYING to do for YEARS.  I was most excited about seeing the famed Four Aces movie set (pictured above), which appeared in an episode of The O.C. and the Lady Gaga/Beyonce “Telephone” music…

  • The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ The latest season of Vanderpump Rules might have been the most epic yet.  With Stassi Schroeder making only occasional appearances, I had a fear that the show was going to lose all of its allure and most of its steam, but that was not the case.  Kristen Doute brought the crazy like never before…
