  • Coachella 2019

    Coachella 2019

    ‘ Longtime readers of this site know that my musical tastes do not run the gamut.  As I’ve said many times, if it is not sung by Britney Spears, Michael Bublé or Michael Jackson, or was produced in any decade other than the ‘80s, odds are I don’t know it.  But when I was offered…

    Jesse James and Sandra Bullock’s Former House

    ‘ Another Orange County location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked this past weekend while spending time in Huntington Beach was the former home of actress Sandra Bullock and her ex-husband, West Coast Choppers CEO and reality television star Jesse James.  As it was the GC’s birthday weekend, I was not actually planning on…

    Courteney Cox’s Former Home

    ‘ In honor of the recent sale of Courteney Cox‘”‘”‘s John Lautner designed Malibu home, I thought I’”‘”‘d do a little stalking of a house she lived in way back in the day. During the first two seasons of , Courteney Cox lived in a charming little house in Santa Monica, located just a few…

    The Victorian from “Mr. Mom”

    ‘ Some movie scenes just seem to stay with you, seared into your memory for years, despite the fact that you can remember little else about the storyline.  That’s how it was for me and Mr. Mom.  I had not seen the comedy since 1983 when it first premiered in theatres and recalled few details…

    Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    ‘ I cannot express how disappointed I am that ABC cancelled Wicked City.  I’ll admit that I was not very impressed with the series’ pilot episode, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that it was rather jarring to see Ed Westwick (one of my absolute faves!) portraying a serial killer.  The…

    The “Four Christmases” Bar

    ‘ Last December, while doing research on the Venice residence that was used as the interior of the house belonging to Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) in Four Christmases (which I blogged about here), I came across this Venice Paper article that stated that the 2008 comedy had also done some filming at…

    ‘ I have one more Wicked City location up my sleeve (for the time being, at least – I did track down a couple of others after watching the recently-released final five episodes, but have yet to stalk them) – the former Second Church of Christ, Scientist in West Adams, which masked as an L.A.…

  • A Cinderella Story

    A Cinderella Story

    ‘ As I have said before, I am a total sucker for a good teeny bopper movie. I still cry every time I watch the Melissa Joan Hart movie Drive Me Crazy! LOL So, a few years back, I was absolutely esctatic to have stumbled upon the filming of the Hilary Duff movie A Cinderella…

  • CSI: Pasadena

    CSI: Pasadena

    ‘ My dad is not a big fan of Hollywood. And by Hollywood I mean the industry, not the town. He can’”‘”‘t stand all of the overindulged, self-absorbed actors, even though his own daughter is one (minus the overindulged, self-absorbed part, of course). 🙂 He just barely tolerates my stalking and often asks me why…
