    The Lounge – The Site of Britney and Justin’s Dance-Off

    ‘ If you are anything at all like me, you eagerly tuned in to watch Lifetime’”‘”‘s Britney Spears biopic Britney Ever After the evening of February 18th.  If not, you seriously missed out.  It was amazing – in the way that only bad Lifetime movies can be amazing.  The two-hour made-for-television flick chronicled a decade…

    My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    ‘ I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie.  I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below).  If a restaurant has bone…

  • The New Peach Pit

    The New Peach Pit

    ‘ Over the years there have been several locations used around LA for the filming of the Peach Pit on my fave TV show, Beverly Hills, 90210. And now there is one more location to add to the already long list. My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA gave me the scoop on last week’”‘”‘s filming…

  • The “Young Sheldon” House

    The “Young Sheldon” House

    ‘ I don’t think I’ve ever hated a television character more than Samantha Ruland on Scandal (though Beverly Hills, 90210’s Kelly Taylor ranks a close second).  Played by Zoe Perry, Samantha represented pure evil – there was literally not a single redeeming thing about her.  It got to the point that even hearing her voice…

  • The Infamous Ray Pruit Stairs

    The Infamous Ray Pruit Stairs

    ‘ Since moving to the desert last January (I cannot believe it has been a year!), I have wanted to revisit Rancho Las Palmas, the sprawling Rancho Mirage resort where Ray Pruit (Jamie Walters) pushed girlfriend Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) down a flight of stairs in the Season 5 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 titled…

  • Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

    Touring Paramount . . . Again

    ‘ I spent this past Friday on the Paramount tour and doing some other miscellaneous stalking with my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna and a group of her girlfriends, who were all in town visiting from Ohio.  Because we were out and about all day, I did not have time to write a post…

  • Weatherwolde Castle

    Weatherwolde Castle

    ‘ It is not everyday one comes across a mention of a random castle located on a sleepy residential street in Los Angeles.  So when I found out about Weatherwolde Castle in Tujunga thanks to this page on the Dupont Castle website a couple of summers ago, I took immediate note and started researching further. …

  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    ‘ Sitting on a quiet corner on an idyllic street in Santa Rosa is a home with quite a scary movie pedigree.  Not only did the Italianate Victorian-style abode appear in a Hitchcock classic, the 1943 thriller Shadow of a Doubt, but in my favorite horror flick of all time, Scream!  (While the residence has…
