    Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ Once fellow stalker Robert, from the website Movie Locations and More, tracked down Phil and Claire’s house and Mitchell and Cameron’s duplex from the new hit series Modern Family, I set my sights on locating the modern-style abode where Jay (aka Ed O’Neill), Gloria (aka Sophia Vergara), and their son Manny (aka Rico Rodriguez)…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – Happy Birthday, Hef!

    ‘ Be sure to check out today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about the Playboy Mansion’s many appearances onscreen and the 89th birthday of its famous owner.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • George Reeves’ Former Home

    George Reeves’ Former Home

    ‘ Another location that has long been woven into the fabric of Hollywood lore is George Reeves’ former Benedict Canyon bungalow, where in the early morning hours of June 16th, 1958 the Adventures of Superman star was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the head.  The events surrounding his death have been the…

    Diana Payne’s House from “Gossip Girl”

    ‘ Another Los-Angeles-area location from fave show Gossip Girl that fellow stalker Geoff, from the 90210Locations website, tracked down recently was the home belonging to Diana Payne (aka Elizabeth Hurley) in the Season 5 episode titled “Yes, Then Zero”.  Because Gossip Girl is primarily filmed on the East Coast, I was beyond excited when the…

  • California Market Center from “Cruel Intentions”

    California Market Center from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ For such a quintessentially “New York” movie, quite a lot of Cruel Intentions was shot in L.A., which I’m only just now discovering.  A few of the more prominent West Coast locales include the modern pad where Blaine Tuttle (Joshua Jackson) lived (it’s actually the Benton House in Brentwood), the Rosemont Estate’s ornate indoor…

  • The Bradbury Building

    The Bradbury Building

    ‘ While serving on jury duty a few years back, I had the opportunity to visit one of the most incredible buildings I’”‘”‘ve ever seen in my life.  Since jurors are oftentimes given incredibly long lunches (sometimes lasting over two and a half hours!!), the jury orientation paperwork includes a list of some “Things To Do” in…

  • The “Clueless” Mall

    The “Clueless” Mall

    ‘ As evidenced by yesterday’s post, I have been on a major Clueless filming locations kick as of late.  One spot about which much conflicting information has been reported online is the mall (or malls) that appeared in the 1995 flick.  Some sites stipulate Westside Pavilion in Rancho Park was used, some surmise the Beverly…

  • Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    ‘ Rather than suffer through the re-run abyss airing on most television networks this past summer, my fiance and I instead decided to purchase and watch the first two seasons of the hit CW series Gossip Girl, which neither of us had ever before seen.  Even though Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had been telling me for months that I would love the show,…

  • The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper often accuses me of beating a dead horse.  While I typically don’t agree with him, today’s post is pretty concrete evidence that he’s right, because here I am yet again with yet another article about the diner from Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Beat It” music video.  Today actually marks the fourth time…

    The Belasco Theatre

    ‘ During my three day stint as an extra in the Britney Spears movie Crossroads, I happened to make friends with a few of the crew members.  The entire cast and crew of the movie was EXTREMELY nice and, as tends to happen on long shoots, I got to know the people I was working…
