  • The House from Ben Affleck’s “Men’s Journal” Photo Shoot

    The House from Ben Affleck’s “Men’s Journal” Photo Shoot

    ‘ If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times – I hate incorrect filming location information!  I recently encountered some erroneous reporting which led me to stalk a site that, come to find out, does not actually have any movie or television connections (at least, none that I could dig up).  Hmph! …

  • Beverly Hills, 90210!

    Beverly Hills, 90210!

    ‘ If you lived out your high school years sometime during the nineties, I am sure you were as obsessed with as I was. Big houses, fancy cars, expensive clothes, Luke Perry – what was not to love about the teen soap opera? The Walsh Family’s Spanish Style Beverly Hills home was the very first…

  • Café Descanso from “Big Little Lies”

    Café Descanso from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ My mom recently commented to me that the latest season of Big Little Lies is shot very tightly, which she finds surprising being that director Andrea Arnold sought to feature more of the great outdoors this time around.  Even Blissful Drip Café, the prop coffee shop built specifically for the series on a bluff…

  • Elliott Bay Cafe – The Inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on “Frasier”

    Elliott Bay Cafe – The Inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on “Frasier”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was Elliott Bay Cafe – the Seattle-area coffee shop that was the inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on the hit television series Frasier.  I first learned about this location from my good friend Nat, who in turn learned about it a few…

  • “The Goldbergs” House

    “The Goldbergs” House

    ‘ A couple of years ago, my good friend Lavonna got obsessed with the ABC series The Goldbergs and asked me to do some research on its locales.  She was most interested in learning the location of the Goldberg family’s Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home and I found the address – 3071 Earlmar Drive in Cheviot Hills…

  • Villa Sophia from the Final Episode of “Entourage”

    Villa Sophia from the Final Episode of “Entourage”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while the Grim Cheaper and I were out doing some stalking in the Hollywood area, I received an email from Constantine Vlahos, the owner of a Los Feliz mansion named Villa Sophia.  Constantine was writing to let me know that his home had been featured in the final episode…

  • The “Black Sheep” House

    The “Black Sheep” House

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last Monday afternoon was the supposed Buckley, Washington-area home where Mike Donnelly (aka Chris Farley) lived in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.  Fellow stalker Owen tracked down this location – along with pretty much every other locale which appeared in the movie – quite a…

  • Poolside Getaway

    Poolside Getaway

    ‘ My parents surprised us by booking a little poolside family getaway for the week, so I will not have any new posts this week aside from my usual Los Angeles magazine column on Thursday (it’”‘”‘s a really exciting one – I’”‘”‘m telling the story of my favorite only-in-L.A. moment!).  I will be laptoping it…

  • The Den from “Sex and the City”

    The Den from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ It goes without saying that I have a tendency to obsess on things (that fact should be apparent to even my site’s most casual visitors).  Recently, I found myself obsessing over two locations featured in the L.A.-based Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  The first locale I…

  • Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever now is the supposed Minnesota-area equestrian center where a childhood Brenda Walsh (a young actress stood in for my girl Shannen Doherty in this episode, but I, unfortunately, cannot seem to find her name anywhere online) went horseback riding in the…
