    The Andrew McNally House from “Kingdom Come”

    ‘ Los Angeles never ceases to surprise me.  Though I feel like I know the city and its environs like the back of my hand and have spent the last decade of my life researching its locations, I am constantly learning of new spots that I had no idea even existed.  Such was the case…

  • The Michael Buble “Crazy Love” Concert – A Second Time!

    The Michael Buble “Crazy Love” Concert – A Second Time!

    ‘ Last Monday night, my mom, my dad, the Grim Cheaper, and I all headed to Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles to attend the final show of Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” Tour.  And, as you can imagine, I could NOT have been more excited!  When I attended the cutie crooner’s concert back in April of…

  • “The Hangover” Wedding Chapel

    “The Hangover” Wedding Chapel

    ‘ It is no secret that erroneous (and/or imprecise) filming location information published online and in books is one of my biggest pet peeves – especially when it leads to me stalking an incorrect place, which is exactly what happened while I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.  (Why there is some…

  • Celebrity Jury Duty

    Celebrity Jury Duty

    ‘ Last September I was called to report for jury duty at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Downtown Los Angeles. As you can probably guess, I was not too excited for this venture. I perked up, though, when on my first day of service, I arrived at the courthouse to see a…

  • 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…

  • The Mystery of the “Melissa & Joey” House

    The Mystery of the “Melissa & Joey” House

    ‘ In February, I received a challenge from a fellow stalker named Jill who wanted to know about the home belonging to Melissa Burke (Melissa Joan Hart) on the ABC Family sitcom Melissa & Joey.  The residence looked familiar to her and she was fairly certain that it had been used previously in another series. …

  • The Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park Bandshell from “New Girl”

    The Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park Bandshell from “New Girl”

    ‘ Brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers, because today’s post is going to be a long one!  Another New Girl location that my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna asked me to track down recently was the park where Jess (Zooey Deschanel) held a recital for her “Ensembell” bell choir in the Season 1 episode titled “Bells”.  This…

  • Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    ‘ At one point last year, I mentioned that I would occasionally be blogging about stalk-worthy locales that do not have a film connection.  Today’s post chronicles one of those places.  A few months ago, fellow stalkers Becky and Anushika told me about Alfred Coffee & Kitchen, a quaint West Hollywood café that they thought…

  • “The Perfect Age of Rock & Roll” Premiere

    “The Perfect Age of Rock & Roll” Premiere

    ‘ As I mentioned yesterday, I was unable to stick around to watch much of the Parks and Recreation filming at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena last Wednesday afternoon as I had promised Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, that I would meet her at Laemmle’s Sunset 5 theatre in West Hollywood that evening…

  • Màs Malo from “Scandal”

    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…
