  • Dawnridge – Tony Duquette’s Former House

    Dawnridge – Tony Duquette’s Former House

    ‘ Last month, while perusing the July 2013 issue of InStyle magazine, I became just a wee-bit intrigued by the spot where the cover shoot with actress Salma Hayek took place – a residence formerly owned by legendary designer Tony Duquette that the article described as an oft-filmed-at locale.  After reading through the story, I…

  • Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ One Behind the Candelabra location that I was not able to stalk two weekends ago was the palatial Palm Springs abode belonging to Frances Liberace (Debbie Reynolds), the flamboyant pianist’s overbearing mother, in the 2013 HBO biopic.  So I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on out to do so this past Saturday morning.  And,…

  • Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Vanderpump Rules is like a fine wine – it just keeps getting better with age.  Six seasons in and the show still hasn’t peaked!  Well, in my opinion, at least.  Not only do the storylines continually get more and more compelling (and ridiculous – “My boyfriend can hang a TV in under seven minutes. …

  • Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Two Sunday nights ago, I (along with the rest of the world) was glued to my television set watching Behind the Candelabra, the HBO biopic about legendary pianist Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his teenaged lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon).  I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when all was said and…

  • The “Sylvester Stallone” House from “Pretty Woman”

    The “Sylvester Stallone” House from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while trying to figure out in what movie I had spotted L’Orangerie, aka Chez Quis restaurant from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (which, maddeningly, I still have yet to determine, by the way!), I started scanning through the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman and found myself wondering why I had…

  • The New York Palace Hotel

    The New York Palace Hotel

    ‘ Yet another Gossip Girl location that I set out to stalk during this year’s Manhattan vacation was the New York Palace Hotel, a locale which has appeared in pretty much every single episode of the series since it began back in 2007.   Truth be told, though, I actually first stalked this location quite a…

  • Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    ‘ Most actors will tell you that extra work is the worst.  But when I first landed in L.A. back in 2000, I did quite a bit of it and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more.  Just being on a movie or television set was surreal and provided an indelible opportunity to observe the inner workings…

    Lauren Conrad’s New Digs!

    ‘ Just heard that LC from is moving on up out of her Park La Brea apartment into a house in LA. Thanks to one of my favorite celeb location blogs – The Real Estalker – – you can see the inside of it. 🙂 According to Real Estalker, Lauren’”‘”‘s house is on North Orange…

  • Seattle’s Fairmont Olympic Hotel

    Seattle’s Fairmont Olympic Hotel

    ‘ Another location that I stalked back in May while visiting the Pacific Northwest was the famous Fairmont Olympic Hotel located in Downtown Seattle.  The Olympic is a landmark Seattle building that has appeared in countless productions over the years and has played host to dozens of celebrities in its almost ninety-year history, so there…

  • ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”

    ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”

    ‘ Each season, The Bachelor reality series whisks its stars and contestants to various exotic, high-end locales.  During Brad Womack’s second stint as The Bachelor, he and the ladies (including my girl Emily Maynard) headed to the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.  Prior to last month, I had not been to Sin City…
