    Priscilla’s Coffee Tea & Gifts

    ‘ Many years ago, I was enrolled in an acting school in Burbank that was located just down the street from a little coffee shop named Priscilla’”‘”‘s Coffee Tea & Gifts.  I logged quite a bit of time at the coffee house, as my classmates and I would often grab a coffee and hang out…

    “The Princess Diaries” Firehouse

    ‘ My friend Nat is a definite hostess with the mostest.  When I last visited her in San Francisco in October 2016, she not only had champagne chilling in the fridge, but an itinerary of area stalking locales she thought might interest me compiled and mapped out on her phone.  The spot on the list…

    Lauren’s House – Part Two (Or Should I Say Les Deux)

    ‘ At the risk of becoming a stalking site solely about The Hills, I just had to share my pics from visiting LC’”‘”‘s house this weekend. Conveniently, Lauren‘”‘”‘s new pad is located only half a mile from Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building on the cutest street in the world! 🙂 Her house is gorgeous in person –…

    "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"

    ‘ My title might be a bit in poor taste, but it seems Robert Blake followed just that advice on a fateful day back in May 2001 after dining at Vitello’”‘”‘s Restaurant in Studio City. Although a jury found him not guilty, it is pretty widely assumed that Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley…

    The Envelope Emmy Week “Mad Men” Screening

    ‘ Ever since fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me to be his plus-one for the SAG screening/cast Q & A of the FX television series Justified back in late May, I have been all about attending similar-type events.  So when he told me about an Envelope Emmy Week screening/roundtable of…

    The Cat & Fiddle

    ‘ We’ll always have the Cat & Fiddle.  Or so Angelinos thought.  Sadly, the historic restaurant closed its doors this past December.  When news of the impending shuttering hit the blogosphere in late October, I became desperate to stalk the eatery – especially once I read via several online news outlets that it had appeared…

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…

    Dick Clark’s Former Malibu Home

    ‘ Last June, my Grandma sent me an article about legendary television personality Dick Clark’s former Flintstones-style Malibu home, calling it “unbelievable” and asking if I could track it down and stalk it.  One look at the photographs of the cave-like structure, which had recently been put on the market, and I was in!  And…
