    Another Day Off

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but because I spent most of yesterday as a reader at the annual Read-In at the school where my mom used to teach, I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  (The door decoration that the class I read for made for me…

    The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…

  • Disneyland’s Club 33

    Disneyland’s Club 33

    ‘ I must preface today’s blog with an apology, as this is one post that is far too long overdue!  Well over six months ago – yes, I am talking about waaaaaaaaaay back in July of 2009 – my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry invited me to share in her birthday celebration at the…

  • Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    ‘ I haven’t been getting much sleep the past few nights and it’s all Jason Priestley’s fault.  His new book, Jason Priestley: A Memoir, has me burning the midnight oil.  The chapters are brief (most only a page or two) and begging to be perused.  I find myself repeatedly thinking ‘I’ll just read one more,’…

  • The Great Quake of ’08!

    The Great Quake of ’08!

    ‘ Yesterday morning at around 11:42am a fairly large earthquake hit the LA area. I received a text message from a friend, who forgot that I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, asking if I felt the quake. My first thought was ” OMG! My Marilyn Merlot bottle!” LOL The bottle of Marilyn wine that…

    The Salem Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    ‘ Today, we have a very special guest post brought to you by my good friend/Hocus Pocus aficionado Katie, who recently took a trip to Salem, Massachusetts to stalk the locations featured in the bewitching (pun intended!) 1993 film.  When she kindly proposed writing a column about her adventure during my Haunted Hollywood postings, I…

  • The Searching For Bobby Fischer Chess Park

    The Searching For Bobby Fischer Chess Park

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for years now is the park where child prodigy Josh Waitzkin (aka Max Pomeranc) and Vinnie (aka Laurence Fishburne) played chess in the 1993 movie Searching for Bobby Fischer.  I actually thought I had found this location in Central Park during my very first trip…

    Viva Cantina from “The Girls Next Door”

    ‘ Each May, my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and I have a standing lunch date to celebrate her birthday.  We usually hit up Sizzler (‘cause we’re fancy like that!), but this year she requested to dine at Viva Cantina in Burbank – a place I had long wanted to stalk…
