    Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    ‘ As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I was not yet even a twinkle in my parents’ eyes on November 22nd, 1963, so I did not experience the tragic events firsthand, but they…

  • Catalina’s Hamilton Cove

    Catalina’s Hamilton Cove

    ‘ While vacationing in Catalina this past week, I, of course, spent much of my time asking the local merchants which celebrities had been spotted on the island.  And I just about died when one store owner told me that Michael Buble, who has recently replaced Josh Duhamel as the celebrity love of my life, had…

    Lucky Baldwin’s British Pub and Cafe from “The Big Bang Theory”

    ‘ In the recently-aired Season 4 episode of fave show The Big Bang Theory titled “The Irish Pub Formulation”, Sheldon Cooper (aka Jim Parsons) refers to an Old Town Pasadena-area restaurant named Lucky Baldwin’s Pub.  Ironically enough, just a few days prior to watching that episode, fellow stalker John from Northern California had mentioned that…

    The Real Life “The Simpsons” House

    ‘ Did you know that there is a real The Simpsons house?  Neither did I.  For my birthday earlier this month, I told the Grim Cheaper that all I wanted to do was spend a couple of days at the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa (which I blogged about here) in Henderson, Nevada. …

  • Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art

    Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art

    ‘ When not stalking or shopping, you can typically find me perusing fashion and beauty blogs.  There are several I frequent daily including Gal Meets Glam, Atlantic-Pacific, Merrick’s Art, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and Hello Gorgeous.  The latter was founded by Angela Lanter, wife of fave actor Matt Lanter.  I started reading her site because of…

  • The Daisy – Where O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Met

    The Daisy – Where O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Met

    ‘ I love a good true-crime podcast.  One that recently got me hooked is Confronting: O.J. Simpson with Kim Goldman, which just finished its first season.  In it, the sister of murder victim Ronald Goldman interviews numerous key players in the so-called Trial of the Century, including jurors, prosecutors, witnesses and one of the defense…

  • A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    ‘ Many moons ago, shortly after we first met, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to a place that quickly became one of my very favorite “only in L.A.” spots –  a residential street from which the Universal Studios War of the Worlds plane crash set is visible.  And even though I always make it a…

  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ Hi fellow stalkers! As you’”‘”‘ve probably noticed already IAmNotAStalker has a new look. Because I was working out the kinks on the new site all weekend, I didn’”‘”‘t have time to write a post. And in honor of Presidents’”‘”‘ Day, I’”‘”‘m taking today off. 🙂 I promise I’”‘”‘ll be back tomorrow. So without further…
