Joseph’s Café – Where Britney Spears Met Kevin Federline
‘ Circa 2000, I thought Britney Spears was everything! Obviously, I don’t anymore (a person can only go into a gas station restroom barefoot so many times before I start to think they’re someone I shouldn’t be emulating), but ever since watching the Lifetime biopic Britney Ever After two weeks ago, I’ve had the pop…

The Old Place from “Scorpion”
‘ There are some spots in L.A. that I miss more than others. The Old Place pretty much tops that list. I first stalked the rustic eatery, tucked away on a forested road in the picturesque mountain town of Cornell, in 2011 and was immediately smitten. Because the restaurant is only open Thursday through Sunday…

The Friday the 13th Premiere
‘ Hollywood rolled out the black carpet last night (and yes it really was black!) for the world premiere of the new horror film remake Friday the 13th – and amazingly, I got to be a part of it! My good friend Blaze Foster is obsessed with the Friday the 13th movie franchise and wanted…

The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”
‘ I am not a Breaking Bad fan. I know, I know – I am in the minority on this one. The Grim Cheaper and I started to watch the series, which ran on AMC from 2008 through 2013, and absolutely LOVED the first two episodes. They were hilarious. Then the show seemed to take…

Jesse James and Sandra Bullock’s Former House
‘ Another Orange County location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked this past weekend while spending time in Huntington Beach was the former home of actress Sandra Bullock and her ex-husband, West Coast Choppers CEO and reality television star Jesse James.

The “Decisions” Movie Premiere and Celebration of Corey Haim’s Life
‘ This past Sunday night, fellow celebrity stalker and photo-bug extraordinaire Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, invited me to do some stalking of the premiere of Corey Haim’s final movie, Decisions, at the Writers Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills. I could NOT have been more excited to attend because, as I have mentioned…

The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse
‘ It seems that every time I turn around lately, I come across someone who is obsessed with Hallmark Channel made-for-television movies. First it was my grandma, who couldn’t stop talking about them at Christmas. Around that same time, I started hearing about the flicks from my uncle’s girlfriend, who binge-watches them like crazy, much…

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…

Wattles Mansion from “Troop Beverly Hills”
‘ After re-watching Troop Beverly Hills a couple of weeks back and subsequently stalking the mansion where the Nefler family lived, I became just a wee bit obsessed with tracking down some of the other locales featured in the 1989 flick. Thankfully IMDB had quite a few sites listed on its Troop Beverly Hills filming…
