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…

Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance” – An Update
‘ Typically, when a vacant space is built out for a production, it is dismantled as soon as filming wraps – though sometimes stranger things, ahem, do happen. Take Gwinnett Place, for instance. A wing of the largely deserted Duluth, Georgia shopping center was transformed (with breathtaking attention to detail, I might add) into Hawkins,…

The Oldest Restaurant in Hollywood!
‘ Two weeks ago, while my mom and I were out stalking in Hollywood, we hit up Musso and Frank’”‘”‘s Grill, which has the distinction of being the oldest running restaurant in Hollywood. Opened in 1919, not only is Musso and Frank’”‘”‘s a top notch celeb hangout, but the restaurant has been featured in countless…

The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “Tell-Tale Hearts”
‘ “Tell-Tale Hearts,” the second episode of Big Little Lies’ second season, boasts some of the series’ most quotable, meme-worthy moments, largely thanks to the inimitable Renata Klein (Laura Dern) – “Will somebody give a woman a moment??” It also features some of the show’s most memorable locales [the forest where Bonnie Carlson (Zoë Kravitz)…

Alvarado Street School from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ For my final holiday post of 2013, I thought I would blog about a locale from my favorite television series of all time, Beverly Hills, 90210. Last September, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Culver City to stalk Playa del Rey Elementary School, which masqueraded as Alvarado Street School, where Brenda Walsh (my…

The “ALF” House
‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly over the years is the Tudor-style home where the Tanner family – Willie (Max Wright), Kate (Anne Schedeen), Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory), and their Melmacian house guest, ALF (who was voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) – lived in the 1986 television series…

Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”
‘ Though all of the homes featured on Pretty Little Liars are pretty darn amazing design-wise, my personal favorite, hands-down, is the farm-like residence where Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) and her family live. So when I began tracking down the locales used in the pilot, which was shot in Vancouver, Spencer’s pad was at the…

The Grease High School
‘ Growing up I absolutely loved the movie Grease. My friend Nat and I used to dress up in her mother’”‘”‘s wigs and act out scenes from Grease in front of the TV. So how excited was I to discover the location of Rydell High School in my go-to stalking book “The Ultimate Hollywood Tour…

The Bates Motel
‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence. While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

Thelma Todd’s Sidewalk Cafe
‘ A few years ago I read a fabulous murder mystery called Shamus In The Green Room written by one of my favorite mystery authors, Susan Kandel. A significant piece of action in the novel takes place at the real life location of one of the most famous unsolved murder cases in Los Angeles history.…
