    Armando’s in the Desert

    ‘ This past weekend, while vacationing in Palm Springs, I dragged my boyfriend and my parents to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’”‘”‘s fave Mexican restaurant in the Desert called Armando’”‘”‘s Dakota Bar and Grill. I’”‘”‘ve heard from several friends who live in the Palm Springs area that the Hollywood couple dine at Armando’”‘”‘s every Sunday…

    Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    ‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’  But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.  Before the die hards get all up…

  • The Matchstick Men House

    The Matchstick Men House

    ‘ Another location I dragged my fiance to while in Venice last weekend was the house used in the 2003 movie Matchstick Men.  I found this spot thanks to fellow stalker Chas, who made it his mission to find EVERY SINGLE Matchstick Men location in the L.A. area.  And find them all, he did!  Chas’ entire…

  • The “ALF” House

    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…

  • “The Bachelor” Mansion

    “The Bachelor” Mansion

    ‘ I just about died this past Friday afternoon when my US Magazine  arrived in the mail and looming out at me was the headline “Is The Bachelor Fake?”   I have been absolutely enthralled with The Bachelor  this season – and not because I am a fan of Jason Mesnick.  I think the guy is pretty much…

  • Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I deserve a facepalm for today’s location!  For ages I had been trying to track down the Los Angeles steakhouse where Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) dined with “Letterman Lew” (Sam Seder) in the Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  Because the episode had been filmed over 15…

  • Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"

    Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"

    ‘ Back in June, while doing research on the house where Liberace (Michael Douglas) lived in Behind the Candelabra (which I blogged about here), I came across a fabulous production slideshow about the movie on HBO.com.  The slideshow featured behind-the-scenes images of several of the locations used in the biopic and one – the mid-century…

  • Westfield Fashion Square Mall from “The Office”

    Westfield Fashion Square Mall from “The Office”

    ‘ One location that my good friend, fellow stalker Lavonna, asked me to track down eons ago was the shopping center that was featured in the Season 3 episode of fave show The Office titled “Women’s Appreciation”.  Because the series is taped in Van Nuys, I figured that the mall was located somewhere in the…

  • Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites from Bring It On

    Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites from Bring It On

    ‘ The second item on my Bring It On  stalking agenda from last weekend was a little hotel named Humphrey’”‘”‘s Half Moon Inn & Suites, which is also located on San Diego’”‘”‘s Shelter Island, just down the street from the Marlin Club which I blogged about yesterday.    This is one location that I actually hadn’”‘”‘t planned on stalking when I first…

  • Karyn Kupcinet’s Former Apartment

    Karyn Kupcinet’s Former Apartment

    ‘ Back in June, while reading Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s fabulous book Killing Kennedy, I was reminded of an unsolved death tied to the former president that took place in November 1963 in West Hollywood – the murder of 22-year-old actress Karyn Kupcinet in her Monterey Village apartment on North Sweetzer Avenue. Figuring that…
