Elevate Lounge from Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” Music Video
‘ One location that has been at the top of my To-Stalk list for over two years now is Downtown L.A.’s Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Elevate Lounge which were used extensively in Britney Spears’ music video for her 2008 hit song “Womanizer”. I first found out about this location while watching the ultra-depressing…

Stu’s House from "Scream"
‘ At the risk of my October postings turning into a full-fledged Scream-fest (and there ain’t nothing wrong with that, honestly!), I’m coming at ya again with another locale from the 1996 horror flick – the Tomales-area farmhouse where Stuart Macher (Matthew Lillard) lived. Situated up a long, winding driveway and barely visible from the…

Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”
‘ One of the best parts about finally watching The West Wing for the first time is all of the L.A. locales I’ve been able to identify and stalk (you can read about a few of them here, here, and here). One spot that I recognized on sight was Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, which masked…

Dinah’s Family Restaurant from “Modern Family”
‘ While I primarily love stalking filming locations of the residential variety, restaurants come in at a close second. So when my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Blog, recently told me about Dinah’s Family Restaurant, a historic Westchester eatery that was featured in a Season 3 episode of Modern Family, I ran right…

The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”
‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa. Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

Fresh Prince House – For Real This Time!
‘ Major fan Bryan posted a comment on my original asking me to please, please, please find the actual location of the mansion used as the Banks’”‘”‘ house on the 90s show. Bryan told me he had been looking for this location for years and every tour book seemed to have gotten it wrong. Being…

The Ambassador Hotel
‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…

Stumbling Upon Sarah Silverman
‘ Yesterday, I happened to stop into my favorite bookstore on the planet – Vroman’”‘”‘s Bookstore in Pasadena – and was floored to see a sign on the door saying “Filming in Progress”. I couldn’”‘”‘t believe my luck and I rushed inside to find out what was being filmed. Turns out it was The Sarah…
