‘ Just got a challenge to find the house – but that is an easy one! 🙂 The house is located on Carroll Avenue, a historic block of Victorian homes near Echo Park that is used constantly for filming. The Charmed house is the purple one located at 1329 Carroll Avenue – and the same…

Brangelina – At It Again!
‘ The new Hello Magazine just hit the shelves with pics of Brangelina’”‘”‘s newborn twin babies. The cover of Hello looks to be an almost exact replica of the famous People Magazine cover photograph taken of Brad and Angie with newborn baby Shiloh back in June of 2006. So I just had to do a…

Màs Malo from “Scandal”
‘ Los Angeles is often ridiculed for having no history – or no appreciation of its history. Demolition of the Ambassador Hotel aside, I don’t find that to be true. There is history – well-preserved history – around pretty much ever corner. You just have to know where to look. Case in point – Màs…
