    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…

    Espresso Profeta from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

    ‘ A couple of years ago, the Grim Cheaper and my cable service stopped providing Bravo TV (and E!) as a part of their basic subscription, which absolutely crushed me being that I was no longer able to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, one of my very favorite shows.  (Don’t even get me…

    Hotel Shangri-La from “The Bachelor”

    ‘ This past Sunday morning (which was particularly cloudy, as you can see above), the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Santa Monica to run a couple of errands and while there we happened to walk by the Hotel Shangri-La – a historic Art Deco masterpiece that I have wanted to stalk ever since…

  • The “Why Him?” Gate House

    The “Why Him?” Gate House

    ‘ Location managers can be such tricksters!  And there’s pretty much nothing I love more than uncovering the various fabrications that go into a particular locale.  Such was the case with the gate house supposedly situated at the entrance to the massive manse belonging to millionaire video game creator Laird Mayhew (James Franco) in Why…

  • The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    ‘ Sometimes I think Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I are one brain living in two different bodies.  Case in point – one of my most beloved movies of all time is the little-known 1989 sleeper The Big Picture, which I saw with my mom shortly after it originally came out almost two-and-a-half decades ago.  In…

  • “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” House

    “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” House

    ‘ Well, after three days and a whopping (insert sarcasm here) three tests (including a blood test, an ultra-sound, and a CAT scan, each of which my dad has undergone numerous times with his doctors at home over the past two years), we have been discharged from the Mayo Clinic sans diagnosis.  The doctor’”‘”‘s sole recommendation…

  • Dots Cupcakes!

    Dots Cupcakes!

    ‘ Last week, on a whim, I ventured into Dots Cupcakes in Pasadena to buy some Halloween cupcakes for my boyfriend. While waiting in line I noticed a framed InStyle Magazine article sitting on a shelf in the tiny shop. The article detailed the June 2007 wedding of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’”‘”‘Connell, who rather…

  • Offshore – Liam’s Bar from “90210”

    Offshore – Liam’s Bar from “90210”

    ‘ One of the many locations that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last week while hanging out in the Redondo Beach area – and the one that I was most excited about – was Offshore, the bar owned by Liam Court (cutie Matt Lanter – sigh!) on fave show 90210.  I had been absolutely…

  • Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    ‘ Spoiler alert!  If you have not yet seen Chef (and if not, what’s the hold up?  I told y’all on Friday that it was one of my favorite movies of 2014!), you might not want to read today’s post as I will definitely be spoiling the ending.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Anyhow,…

    Tad Hamilton’s House

    ‘   Another day, another Tad Hamilton  location!  Last week while searching for the Sex and the City  honeymoon house I ran across aerial views of a Malibu home that looked very familiar to me (pictured above).  It didn’”‘”‘t take long before I realized the house was used as Tad Hamilton’”‘”‘s ultra-modern white mansion in fave movie Win A Date…
