    Callahan’s Diner from “Zodiac”

    ‘ In the early years of our relationship the Grim Cheaper lived in Santa Monica, just a few blocks from a local staple named Callahan’s Diner.  Even though I knew the eatery was a filming location and supposedly served up some fabulous grub, for whatever reason we never ventured in for a meal.  I am…

  • The “Burning Love” Mansion

    The “Burning Love” Mansion

    ‘ This past February, thanks to Reality Steve and the E! Channel, I was introduced to the brilliance that is the Ben Stiller-produced parody of The Bachelor titled Burning Love. The Hose Ceremonies along with the catchphrase “Will you accept my hose?” are pure comic genius! The last time I found myself laughing so much…

  • More Halloween!

    More Halloween!

    ‘ Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had…

  • Katherine Heigl’s Apartment Building from “The Ugly Truth”

    Katherine Heigl’s Apartment Building from “The Ugly Truth”

    ‘ A few months back I received an email from a woman named Marilyn (love it!) who wanted to know if I could track down the apartment building where Katherine Heigl lived in the 2009 romantic comedy The Ugly Truth.  But because I am not a big Katherine Heigl fan – I just think the…

  • 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…

  • Rise N Grind from “Veep”

    Rise N Grind from “Veep”

    ‘ I have never been one for New Year’s resolutions.  That being said, in 2018 I am hoping to regularly exercise, be kinder (to myself and others), drink more water and less champagne, and cut down on my daily latte regimen.  The last one is going to be much easier said than done.  No matter…

  • Never Never Land

    Never Never Land

    ‘ Now, even though he has some issues – I do love me some MJ. So I was quite distressed to find out last weekend that MJ’”‘”‘s ranch, Neverland, is in a state of disarray and might be sold and torn down. I just happened to be spending a couple of days in Santa Barbara, so…

  • Paul Rudd’s House From “I Love You, Man”

    Paul Rudd’s House From “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ One location I have been trying to find for quite some time now is the Mid-Century Modern style abode where Paul Rudd and Rashida Jones lived in fave romantic comedy I Love You, Man.   I was dying to stalk the house not only because of its incredibly unique architecture, but also because I was such a big fan of the movie. …

  • Woody’s Boathouse Restaurant from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Woody’s Boathouse Restaurant from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ I had high hopes for a lot of rest, relaxation, and reading during my recent trip to Lake Arrowhead.  I wound up doing little else besides shopping and some Vanderpump Rules stalking, though, which, hey, I’m not gonna complain about!  One site I did not pinpoint the exact location of prior to actually setting…

  • The Hotel St. James

    The Hotel St. James

    ‘ The one location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, told me I could absolutely NOT come home from New York without stalking was the seedy hotel where Josh Baskin (aka Tom Hanks) stayed after first becoming “big” in the 1988 movie of the same name.   Mike had found the location of the Hotel St. James thanks…
