    West Beverly?

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, sent me some screen captures from a Season One episode of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 series entitled “Fame Is Where You Find It.” In the episode Brandon “goes Hollywood” after landing a role on Brenda’”‘”‘s favorite television series Keep It Together.

    Yamashiro Restaurant – Looking Down on All of Hollywood!

    ‘ On Saturday, my boyfriend took me to dinner at a former Japanese palace called Yamashiro, located in Hollywood – 250 feet above Hollywood Boulevard, to be exact. The restaurant has the most amazing views of Hollywood and surrounding LA that I have ever seen and it was a pretty incredible place to spend an…

    Tavern on the Green from “Ghostbusters”

    ‘ I adhere to a “more is more” philosophy.  There’s nothing wrong with a little extra!  So I, of course, was a huge fan of the landmark Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green during the time that it was run by the LeRoy family.  Though many referred to the place as tacky, garish and…

  • The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    ‘ Sometimes I think Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I are one brain living in two different bodies.  Case in point – one of my most beloved movies of all time is the little-known 1989 sleeper The Big Picture, which I saw with my mom shortly after it originally came out almost two-and-a-half decades ago.  In…

    The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I am a diabetic.   And in order to combat my currently out-of-whack blood sugars, I recently picked up Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, a best-selling book which proposes a VERY low carbohydrate diet to maintain blood sugar control.  Which is a problem, because this stalker…

    Fat Sal’s Deli – Jerry Ferrara’s Restaurant

    ‘ I’m back, people!  To say that last week was a blast would be an understatement.  It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life and a really special birthday celebration.  There was never a dull moment and I am officially exhausted (and now have a cold), but it was well worth it! …

  • Chateau LeMoine from “Southland”

    Chateau LeMoine from “Southland”

    ‘ A few months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, posted some photographs on his site of Chateau LeMoine, an uh-ma-zing castle-like property that was featured in the Season 3 episode of Southland (his favorite television series, second only, of course, to Beverly Hills, 90210) titled “Cop or Not”.  And while I have never watched Southland, I…

    How To Spot a Movie Star!

    ‘ Because so many of you have been asking lately, and in honor of the upcoming Oscar Weekend, I thought I’”‘”‘d do a post today on the best places to go in L.A. to see a star.   But first let me start by saying that if your sole purpose in visiting L.A. is to see celebs…

    Helen Twelvetrees’ House

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago I picked up a book that is quickly shaping up to be my new stalking tome.  It’”‘”‘s called Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten and it features photographs and addresses of over 350 celebrity homes, most of them from the Golden Age of Hollywood.  I have never really been much into the…
