The Majestic Downtown from “The Holiday”
‘ The Holiday has definitely been on my brain as of late. I wrote about two of the houses used in the 2006 film for the December issue of Los Angeles magazine and recently got to tour Thorne Hall at Occidental College, the setting of one of its most poignant scenes. So I figured it…

William McKinley High School from “Glee”
‘ My Hollywood obsession as of late is the new Fox musical dramedy Glee. Actually, stating that I am obsessed with the series is a rather gross understatement. To say it’s more of an all-out, withdrawal-symptom inducing addiction would be closer to the truth. In fact, I don’t think I’ve been this enamored of a…

L.A. Bound
‘ It has been said that you can’t go home again, but the Grim Cheaper and I are doing just that this weekend by heading out to Los Angeles for a couple of days. I have an appointment at the Pasadena Blo-Out Lounge, a coffee date with Marci from Lula Mae, all sorts of fun…

Home Restaurant from “Raines”
‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me. Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run. I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007. In fact, I only learned of it this…

Taking the Week Off
‘ My best friends are currently visiting from Switzerland, so I will be taking the next week off from blogging. I will hopefully be back to regular scheduled programming by the 24th – or the 26th at the latest. See you then! ‘

Having a Carrie Bradshaw Moment
‘ I have three pretty big articles due in the coming days for both Discover Los Angeles and L.A. Magazine, and am having a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment. I can finally utter her famous words, “I’m on deadline!” Because of said deadline(s), and an upcoming trip to L.A. – the trip is actually…

Villapiano’s from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ One That Thing You Do! location that I had been trying to track down for what seemed like ages was the red-boothed Italian restaurant that stood in for Villapiano’s, the “spaghetti place out by the airport,” in the 1996 flick. Thankfully, a couple of months ago, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

The Viper Room from “Entourage”
‘ Once I found the location of Zebra tattoo parlor, on which Jeremy Piven’s name was displayed during the opening credits of Entourage each week (I blogged about it here), I just had to track down the spot where cutie Jerry Ferrara’s moniker was showcased. Upon finally doing so, I was a bit embarrassed that…

Another Few Days Off
‘ Sorry to leave y’all hanging, but I will also be taking Monday and Tuesday of this week off. I will be back on Wednesday, though, with a whole new stalking location! I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

The Thriller Movie Theatre
‘ Michael Jackson‘”‘”‘s Thriller is, in my humble opinion, the best music video ever created. And ever since seeing the Thriller dance scene from 13 Going On 30 (which has to be one of my favorite movie scenes of all time) I have loved nothing more than to bust out the Thriller dance at parties!…
