    The Former BaBalu Lounge – Where Michael Buble Got His Start

    ‘ Another Michael Buble location that I found thanks to the book Michael Buble: The Biography, by Juliet Peel was BaBalu Lounge, the Downtown Vancouver nightclub where the cutie crooner performed regularly for two years before becoming famous.  And, let me tell you, once I heard about it, I became pretty hell-bent on the idea…

  • Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I am a very black and white person.  Opinions typically come to me immediately and tend to swing towards either loving or hating something.  I don’t deal much in grey.  For some reason, though, I cannot decide if I like Sharp Objects.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Gillian Flynn novel on which the new HBO…

    Hop Louie from “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ Los Angeles suffered numerous iconic restaurant closures in 2017 – Auntie Em’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock, Happy Trails Catering in Pasadena (I was particularly heartbroken over that one), and the Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood (though it is set to re-open this summer), just to name a few.  2017 also saw the final shuttering…

    The Magic Castle Hotel from “The Hills”

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time one of my fellow stalkers asked me for a reasonably-priced Hollywood area hotel recommendation . . . well, let’s just say that I’d have a lot more Louis Vuitton in my life than I do right now.  😉  And I never really had a solid answer…

    Center Stage from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Continuing on with our Vanderpump Rules tour of Lake Arrowhead, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to Center Stage, the outdoor concert venue where Pierce the Arrow, Tom Sandoval’s band, played in the Season 2 episode titled “Only the Lonely.”  Thankfully, this was an easy find and stalk.  Not only was the name…

    The Probable “Beat It” Diner, Part II

    ‘ [UPDATE – The Monte Carlo Restaurant is NOT where “Beat It” was filmed.  The iconic video was actually shot at the Special Café, located just a few blocks away.  You can read all about it here.  Even though this post contains erroneous information, I am leaving it up as it chronicles an important part…

    Marilyn’s House from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ Early yesterday morning, after what had amounted to years and years of searching and thanks to the assistance of both Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my good friend Nat, I finally, finally, FINALLY managed to track down the San Francisco-area house where Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) lived in the 2008 holiday flick…

    Welcome to the Very First Iamnotastalker and MovieShotsLA Filming Locations Contest!

    ‘ Update:  Well, that was fast!  Fellow stalker Billy is the winner of our first ever contest!  Even though he has never seen an episode of SATC, he figured out the answer to our challenge in record time!  I really thought this was going to be a stumper, but I guess not!   Jenna’”‘”‘s apartment building from…
