  • The “Jack and Jill” House

    The “Jack and Jill” House

    ‘ This past Sunday afternoon, while doing some stalking in the Pacific Palisades area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper over to Amalfi Drive to stalk the main house used in the 2011 movie Jack and Jill.  And I should mention here that while I did not have very high hopes for Jack and Jill before…

  • Killer Café from “Enough”

    Killer Café from “Enough”

    ‘ One location that I had been dying to stalk for close to a decade was Edie’s Diner, the 50s-style restaurant in Marina Del Rey that stood in for Phil’s Famous Red Car Diner where Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) worked – and met her reprobate husband, Mitch Hiller (Billy Campbell) – in the 2002 thriller…

  • Emerson College Los Angeles from “Scandal”

    Emerson College Los Angeles from “Scandal”

    ‘ Despite the fact that I live in Palm Springs, I tend to think of myself as having my finger on the pulse of L.A.  But when penning A Film Lover’s Guide to Tomorrow’s Movie Location Stars for Los Angeles magazine in 2015, I overlooked two key spots, which I hope speaks more to the…

  • Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…

  • The “Pretty Woman” Party House

    The “Pretty Woman” Party House

    ‘ Over the past few weeks, fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I have been on an extensive hunt for several unfound locations from the 1990 classic romantic comedy Pretty Woman. And the locale that I was most interested in tracking down, you ask?  Why, the huge, modern-style abode where Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) attended…

  • Where The American Idol Contestants Live

    Where The American Idol Contestants Live

    ‘ Even though American Idol  is not a show I regularly watch, I was completely floored to find a two page article in this week’”‘”‘s US Magazine  featuring the mansion the current Idol contestants are calling home.  I love me some celebrity real estate!   And while US  didn’”‘”‘t give the exact location of the Idol  pad, it did publish several photos of the 35,000 square foot manse…

  • The High Line from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

    The High Line from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

    ‘ I absolutely love the great outdoors.  In fact, alongside Starbucks and stalking, there’s pretty much nothing I enjoy more than being outside.  So when I read about a former-elevated-train-track-turned-urban-park in NYC prior to my trip to the Big Apple last April, I knew it was a spot I had to check out.  At the…

  • The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    The Frederick Mitchell Mooers House from “Mod Squad”

    ‘ As I’ve said before, stalking begets stalking.  Back in January, I wrote a post about a spectacular abandoned residence that had been featured in recent episodes of both Major Crimes and Parks and Recreation.  A longtime reader (a veeeery longtime reader, pretty sure he’s been with me since the beginning!) named John was intrigued…

  • The “Why Him?” House

    The “Why Him?” House

    ‘ I don’t like to think of myself as a brat, but I’d be lying if I did not admit to having brat-like tendencies when it comes to choosing what movie to watch with the Grim Cheaper on any given Saturday night.  Typically I veto all of his recommendations straight out of the gate and…

  • The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    ‘ There are some spots in L.A. that I miss more than others.  The Old Place pretty much tops that list.  I first stalked the rustic eatery, tucked away on a forested road in the picturesque mountain town of Cornell, in 2011 and was immediately smitten.  Because the restaurant is only open Thursday through Sunday…
