  • The “Hidden Away” House

    The “Hidden Away” House

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post about Azul Tapas Lounge, I was not a fan of the 2014 Lifetime Original Movie Hidden Away, which was filmed largely in Palm Springs.  I was a huge fan of the ultra-modern abode where the main character, Stephanie/Alexandra (Emmanuelle Vaugier), lived with her daughter, Rachel (Allie Gonino), in…

    Eliza Dushku’s House from Bring It On

    ‘ One of the locations I was most excited about seeing this past weekend in San Diego was the La Jolla area residence that was used as the home of siblings Missy Pantone (aka Eliza Dushku) and Cliff Pantone (aka cutie Jesse Bradford) in 2000’s Bring It On.  Full credit goes to fellow stalker Owen for tracking…

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

  • Laurie Strode’s House from “Halloween”

    Laurie Strode’s House from “Halloween”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, clued me into an INCREDIBLY cool little bit of Haunted Hollywood stalking information that I had not been previously aware of.  Apparently, the real life owners of the home that stood in for the Strode residence in the 1978 classic…

    My Guide to L.A. – Hotels

    ‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles.  I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places.  I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

  • Greystone Mansion

    Greystone Mansion

    ‘ While most mansions in Beverly Hills are well hidden from prying eyes thanks to tall gates and large trees, there is one that is open to the public on a regular basis and it’”‘”‘s called Greystone Mansion. The 46,000 square foot mansion was commissioned in 1928 by millionaire Edward L. Doheny as a gift…

    The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) states that very few people surprise him.  I could say the same about filming locations.  One that did recently surprise me, though, was The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Reseda.  For years I had been under the impression that the engagement party scene from the 2009 comedy…

    Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    ‘ I’ll never forget the first time I saw CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.  It was back in 2003 and my parents had come home from a random stop at the video store (remember those?) with a DVD of the series’ inaugural season in hand.  I had not heard of the show at the time and…
