  • The Julien’s Auctions Hollywood Legends Exhibition

    The Julien’s Auctions Hollywood Legends Exhibition

    ‘ This past Saturday afternoon I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the Hollywood Legends exhibition currently being hosted by Julien’s Auctions, a Beverly Hills-area auction house which specializes in entertainment memorabilia, celebrity artifacts, and high-profile estates.  Prior to each auction it hosts, Julien’s opens up its exhibition hall to the public offering them…

  • Jack Ryan’s House from “Clear and Present Danger”

    Jack Ryan’s House from “Clear and Present Danger”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper was anxiously awaiting last Friday’s premiere of the new Amazon series Jack Ryan.  There was practically a countdown going on in our house.  When we finally viewed the first episode, though, my only thought was ‘I want that hour and four minutes of my life back.’  Needless to say, we were…

  • Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate change, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, one of my favorite Tinseltown lodgings and frequent film star, was sold a couple of years ago, rebranded as a Loews, and extensively remodeled.  Though…

    Jim and Pam’s House from “The Office”

    ‘ One location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the house that Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinksi) purchased for his fiancé Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season 5 episode of The Office titled “Frame Toby”.  At the time I had never…

  • The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar from "The Bachelor"

    The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar from "The Bachelor"

    ‘ This season of The Bachelor has been one for the record books!  I don’t think there has ever been a prior season featuring so many crazy contestants – and for The Bachelor, that’s really saying something.  Sure there are a few sane women in the bunch (Whitney, Carly and Becca), but for the most…

  • Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ I try to keep things positive on this blog, but, man, Sunday night’s Big Little Lies finale was an epic disappointment!  The entire season was hugely lackluster, truth be told, which is especially frustrating considering the outright perfection of Season 1.  I will contend that the first few episodes started out semi-promising, but the…
