    Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    ‘ Networks have recently begun the practice of digitally releasing the pilot episodes of new shows weeks before their scheduled premiere dates.  I think it’s a genius maneuver and have been relishing watching them all.  One that I perused, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, was A…

    Stalking Palm Springs Style

    ‘ This weekend my boyfriend and I took a little road trip to Palm Springs for a relaxing weekend getaway – but there’”‘”‘s no resting for this stalker! Of course, I just had to do a little stalking while I was there! 🙂 Once again, the stalking gods were watching out for me, because we…

  • The Friday the 13th Premiere

    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…

  • Thornton’s Mansion from “Back to School”

    Thornton’s Mansion from “Back to School”

    ‘ Even though I am a definite child of the ‘80s, for whatever reason I had never seen the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield classic Back to School until late last year.  I wound up loving the flick and immediately started researching its locations.  I covered a few of them in a September post for Los Angeles…

  • Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This season of Modern Family brought to life a storyline that is basically my worst fear – nightmare neighbors.  Poor Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen) had their tranquility disturbed in the episode titled “Won’t You Be Our Neighbor” when loudmouth medicinal marijuana dealer Ronnie LaFontaine (Steve Zahn), his wife, Amber (Andrea…

  • George Valentin’s Duplex from “The Artist”

    George Valentin’s Duplex from “The Artist”

    ‘ As I mentioned way back in early 2010 in my post about Julia Child’s childhood home, one of the best parts about being in the Screen Actors Guild is the fact that all Guild members are sent several “For Your Consideration” DVDs just prior to the SAG Awards each year.  One of the DVDs…

  • Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

    Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

    ‘ I abhor change, as longtime readers of this site well know.  So I was devastated to learn that Fog City Diner, the landmark eatery in my hometown of San Francisco, had undergone a major revamp and reopened as the simpler, sleeker and far more modern “Fog City.”  The shiny chrome train-like structure situated on…

  • The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    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…

  • The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    ‘ While putting together a list of spooky-type locales to stalk during my Haunted Hollywood month a couple of weeks ago, I decided to peruse through fave book James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting for a little inspiration.  And, let me tell you, I just about died…

  • The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”

    The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”

    ‘ Another stalking stop on the Grim Cheaper’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt around Los Angeles that we embarked upon this past February was the historic Koreatown eatery known as the HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant.  And while I had known about the watering hole’s vast history and longtime celebrity clientele before we dined there, up…
