    Our Wedding Photographer – Rob Greer

    ‘ Deciding the order in which to publish the various blog posts that I am planning to write about the different movie/filming location elements of my wedding has proved to be a bit of a challenge for me.  Today’s entry was originally going to be about our invitations, but then I realized that I can’t…

    Elevate Lounge from Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” Music Video

    ‘ One location that has been at the top of my To-Stalk list for over two years now is Downtown L.A.’s Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Elevate Lounge which were used extensively in Britney Spears’ music video for her 2008 hit song “Womanizer”.  I first found out about this location while watching the ultra-depressing…

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

    The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    ‘ Friends often refer to me as a “foamer,” i.e. a person who foams at the mouth over all things Disney.  Apparently, I am not a very good one, though, because up until just recently I had no clue that for the past thirteen years the Disney Store has been headquartered at the Royal Laundry…

    ‘ Even though I have always been one hundred percent on Team Aniston – I even have the sweatshirt to prove it  😉 – while visiting Palm Springs during Halloween weekend a few months back I became a bit obsessed with stalking the home where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie posed for their famous “Domestic…

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers!  I hope everyone is enjoying a fabulous three-day weekend with loved ones. ‘

  • Mary See’s Former House

    Mary See’s Former House

    ‘ Another location that I was reminded of while taking the Scott’s L.A. Audio Driving Tour of Pasadena this past week was the Craftsman-style residence where Mary See and her son Charles, founders of See’s Famous Old Time Candies, lived in the 1920s during the time when the legendary chocolate company was first established.  Because…

  • 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…

    ‘ “The next time you check into a deserted hotel on the dark side of Hollywood, make sure you know just what kind of vacancy you’”‘”‘re filling.  Or you may find yourself a permanent resident… of The Twilight Zone.”  So says Rod Serling at the end of Disney World’s popular The Twilight Zone Tower of…
