    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…

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow stalkers.  I hope everyone has a hearty, safe and blessed holiday.  Like last year, I will be cooking tonight’s meal with my mom and am really looking forward to the endeavor, as well as the festivities of the rest of…

    Helen Twelvetrees’ House

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago I picked up a book that is quickly shaping up to be my new stalking tome.  It’”‘”‘s called Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten and it features photographs and addresses of over 350 celebrity homes, most of them from the Golden Age of Hollywood.  I have never really been much into the…

  • Daddy Day Care

    Daddy Day Care

    ‘ While out and about with my dad this week, I decided to stalk the home used in the Eddie Murphy movie Daddy Day Care. Since my dad just retired, he has been recruited to be my new stalking side kick! I think he loves it about just as much as my boyfriend does. 🙂…

  • Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    ‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.  You’d be wrong, though.  While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…

  • Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ UPDATE – I just drove by this location last week and was shocked to discover that the entire thing had been completely torn down.  The only part of it left standing is the All American Burger sign pictured below.  🙁  A Chipotle restaurant is currently being built in its place. So incredibly sad!  I will leave this post up, though, for those…

    Touring the WB Ranch

    ‘ My good friends Lavonna and Kim are in town this week visiting from Ohio and we spent all day yesterday touring various studios, including one of my personal favorites – the Warner Bros. Ranch.  So I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow…

  • The Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    The Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in New York last month was a little restaurant named the Central Park Boathouse Cafe, also known as the Loeb Boathouse.  And although I’ve stalked this location once before – and even blogged about it – because the restaurant is not open…

  • Pasadena Central Library from “Foul Play”

    Pasadena Central Library from “Foul Play”

    ‘ It’s my favorite day of the year!  No, it’s not Halloween already – it’s October 1st, which marks the start of my annual Haunted Hollywood postings and the beginning of the Halloween season (well, it marks the latter for most people, anyway – I started decorating for the holiday weeks ago!).  To kick things…

  • The Safari Inn from “True Romance”

    The Safari Inn from “True Romance”

    ‘ One oft-filmed-at locale that I had known about for ages, but had never gotten around to stalking was the historic Safari Inn on West Olive Avenue in Burbank. I had driven by the motel countless times over the years – I get my hair done right across the street, in fact – and, even…
