  • Slacking Off . . . Again!

    Slacking Off . . . Again!

    ‘ I unfortunately do not have a blog to post for today (yet again!), but I do have a good excuse.  My dad had surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Hospital to determine how much damage was done to his pancreas over the past three years while he was taking the medication that caused his pancreatitis. …

  • Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ The Behind the Candelabra location that I was most excited to stalk was Palm Springs City Hall, which appeared very briefly towards the end of the recently-aired HBO biopic.  When I first saw the locale pop up onscreen, in all of its retro glory, I was convinced that it was a set that had…

  • The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    ‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure.  A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post and BIG NEWS!

    ‘ Don’t forget to read my latest Los Angeles magazine article!  It’s my first Haunted Hollywood post of the season, about the Hanging Tree from Phantasm – one of the prettiest locations I have ever stalked! And BIG NEWS that I have been waiting to share.  I recently taped a segment about Beverly Hills, 90210…

    Killarney Market from Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” Video

    ‘ Now don’t laugh, but the primary reason behind the Grim Cheaper’s and my trip up to the Pacific Northwest this past weekend was so that I could stalk the spot where Michael Buble filmed the music video for his hit song “Haven’t Met You Yet” – Killarney Market in Vancouver, British Columbia.  Sure, we…

  • Scully’s Bar from “Parks and Recreation”

    Scully’s Bar from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ I thought I would take a break today from Behind the Candelabra/Liberace locations to blog about a spot that I spent what seems like forever trying to track down – Clancy’s Crab Broiler in Glendale, the Irish-style bar that has appeared a couple of times on fave show Parks and Recreation.  I can’t actually…

  • Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad

    Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad

    ‘ Monday night’”‘”‘s episode of The Bachelor  was all that RealitySteve  promised it would be – and more!  The show played out pretty much EXACTLY as he said it would and I completely agree with him that the finale’”‘”‘s “shocking twist” was a set-up from the get-go.  Something about Molly’”‘”‘s reaction during the After the Final Rose …

  • The Hotel St. James

    The Hotel St. James

    ‘ The one location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, told me I could absolutely NOT come home from New York without stalking was the seedy hotel where Josh Baskin (aka Tom Hanks) stayed after first becoming “big” in the 1988 movie of the same name.   Mike had found the location of the Hotel St. James thanks…

    Màs Malo from “Scandal”

    ‘ Los Angeles is often ridiculed for having no history – or no appreciation of its history.  Demolition of the Ambassador Hotel aside, I don’t find that to be true.  There is history – well-preserved history – around pretty much ever corner.  You just have to know where to look.  Case in point – Màs…
