    The Canyon Country Store Where Jennifer Aniston Used to Work

    ‘ I just recently finished reading Jennifer: The Unauthorized Biography, a FABULOUS book about my girl Jen Aniston written by Sean Smith, a famed British biographer who has also penned bestselling bios about J.K Rowling, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake.  According to the brief blurb about Smith featured on the book’s first page, the U.K.…

    The Weller Residence from “Castle”

    ‘ What is it about Victorian-style dwellings that lends itself so well to scary movies and television shows with a spooky theme?  I so often find myself blogging about Victorians this time of year.  (There’s the Mills View House from House, the Blankenhorn Lamphear House from Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and the Miller and Harriott House…

    Jane’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ I am extremely biased when it comes to my former stomping ground of Pasadena, where I lived for close to 15 years.  Though I’ve heard on more than one occasion from L.A. denizens that the city is too suburban and too far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, I think it…

    The Empire Hotel from “Gossip Girl”

    ‘ My friend Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, always teases me for being a huge fan of “Hollywood randoms,” i.e. stars he has never heard of.  One of my favorites of the so-called randoms is Ed Westwick, who played Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl.  Out of all the male TV characters I’ve ever…
