    Attending a Taping of Extra . . .

    ‘ I spent all of yesterday morning at The Grove watching an episode of Extra being filmed that featured special guest Bachelorette Emily Maynard, whom I LOVE LOVE LOVE.  (She is so freaking cute, it is almost unbelievable!)  Then, when I finally did get home, the Grim Cheaper hooked me up with a new watermark…

  • Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ There’s nothing quite like a slice of New York pizza!  Just watching characters eat a piece on TV or in a movie is enough to make me drool.  So I, of course, had long been dying to stalk the Big Apple pizzeria that appeared in the Season 6 episode of Sex and the City…

    My Latest L.A. Mag Post – About Casa Walsh and Jason Priestley’s New Book

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine post today – about the Walsh house from Beverly Hills, 90210, Jason Priestley’s new book and how I got started stalking – on LAMag.com.  (My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.) ‘

    Taking a Break . . .

    ‘ Unfortunately, I have no blog to publish today.  🙁  I had to rush my dad to the emergency room bright and early yesterday morning and wound up spending the entire day and most of the night with him in the hospital.  Which normally wouldn’t have precluded me from writing a post, but for some…

  • Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement.  If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right.  Instead I’ve…

  • Frankie’s House from “Alpha Dog”

    Frankie’s House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like forever now is the home belonging to Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) father, Juergen Ballenbacher (aka Chris Kinkade), in the ultra-dark and depressing movie Alpha Dog.  As I have expressed a few times before on this blog, I was not…

  • JFK and Jackie’s Former Georgetown Homes

    JFK and Jackie’s Former Georgetown Homes

    ‘ Considering how much I love history, I know shockingly little about former President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline.  So I was thrilled when the Grim Cheaper gifted me with Jackie, Janet & Lee: The Secret Lives of Janet Auchincloss and Her Daughters Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill last Christmas.  The 2018…

  • Joyce’s House from “Little Black Book”

    Joyce’s House from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ Last week, while doing research on locations from fave movie Little Black Book, I decided to watch the “Live & On-Air: The Making of Little Black Book” DVD special feature in which the filming of a deleted scene happened to be shown taking place in front of a house that I immediately recognized.  I…

  • Dancing in the Friends’ Fountain!

    Dancing in the Friends’ Fountain!

    ‘ I’”‘”‘ve done some pretty cool things in my life, but I must say that one of my favorite and most memorable adventures was dancing in the fountain that was used in the opening credits of ! Back in 2002, I attended a seminar put on by my acting school that just happened to be…

  • The “Whatever It Takes” Houses

    The “Whatever It Takes” Houses

    ‘ I am all about teen comedies, even admittedly bad ones.  Drive Me Crazy is one of my favorite movies ever, I loved all of the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen destination flicks, and Get Over It cracks me up every time I watch, even though I’ve seen it repeatedly.  So I was shocked when…
