    My Day on the Set of Weeds!

    ‘ I’”‘”‘ve said it before and I’”‘”‘ll say it again – I absolutely LOVE living in L.A.  You just never know what surprises lay around each corner here!  Yesterday, as I drove up to the Hollywood & Highland Center to meet my good friend Blaze for some coffee, I noticed quite a few of those yellow filming signs that…

    The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    ‘ Before we get started, I have a couple of announcements.  Some changes will be coming to the blog in 2016.  The biggest change will be a major site redesign, which the Grim Cheaper is currently working on and which I could NOT be more excited about.  You’”‘”‘ll notice I’”‘”‘ve altered my screen captures a…

    Welcome to the Very First Iamnotastalker and MovieShotsLA Filming Locations Contest!

    ‘ Update:  Well, that was fast!  Fellow stalker Billy is the winner of our first ever contest!  Even though he has never seen an episode of SATC, he figured out the answer to our challenge in record time!  I really thought this was going to be a stumper, but I guess not!   Jenna’”‘”‘s apartment building from…

  • The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area locale that fellow stalker/location scout Scott Trimble, of the STS Locations website, helped me to find recently was the residence where Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) good friend/”Witness #11”, Susan Hartunian (aka Dominique Swain), lived with her utterly clueless and apathetic mother, Tiffany Hartunian (aka ER’s Alex Kingston), in the 2006 movie…

  • That Pink Door

    That Pink Door

    ‘ I have yet to really hop aboard the Pinterest bandwagon, but I know I’m in the minority on that one.  Those who are Pinterest-philes are most definitely familiar with what has come to be known as “That Pink Door.”  That Pink Door is actually the brightly-hued front door of a residence in the Indian…

  • The Disney Garage

    The Disney Garage

    ‘ Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I am obsessed with all things Disney – especially Disneyland.  I can hardly pass by the “Disneyland Drive” sign on the 5 Freeway without feeling a twitch.  Not surprisingly, whenever I find myself in Orange County, my only interest is visiting the park and spending every…

  • Charlie Rich’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Charlie Rich’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another location that Jennifer Grant spoke fondly of in Good Stuff, the memoir about her late father, actor Cary Grant, was the Palm Springs estate belonging to Cary’s good friend, Las Vegas Dunes Hotel owner Charlie “Kewpie” Rich.  Many weekends of Jennifer’s childhood were spent at “Uncle Charlie’s” lush, four-acre Coachella Valley oasis, which…

    24

    ‘ Today while driving in Pasadena, I happened to pass by one of those yellow filming signs I am so fond of seeing, and it turns out that the TV show 24 was filming at Saint Luke’”‘”‘s Hospital. So I immediately parked my car and ran onto the set in the hopes of seeing Keifer…

  • Now! Clothing from “L.A. Story”

    Now! Clothing from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ My second most-wanted location from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story was Now!, the ultra-hip clothing store with unisex dressing rooms where SanDeE* (my girl Sarah Jessica Parker) worked.  (My first most-wanted was, of course, the iconic freeway sign that I blogged about last Thursday.)  So I was floored to see that the locale…
