    Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"

    ‘ Back in June, while doing research on the house where Liberace (Michael Douglas) lived in Behind the Candelabra (which I blogged about here), I came across a fabulous production slideshow about the movie on HBO.com.  The slideshow featured behind-the-scenes images of several of the locations used in the biopic and one – the mid-century…

  • The “Beaches” Cottage

    The “Beaches” Cottage

    ‘ For Mother’s Day this year, my mom decided that she wanted to take a little weekend getaway to Newport Beach with my dad, the Grim Cheaper and me. I was absolutely thrilled over her choice of destination as while we were vacationing at the Hyatt Huntington Beach, aka the Beverly Hills Beach Club from…

  • The Peach Pit

    The Peach Pit

    ‘ Got a comment Tuesday night from Kevin who asked if I had a picture of the Peach Pit location from 90210. I briefly blogged about the Peach Pit on my first 90210 post a few months ago, but at the time I didn’”‘”‘t have a picture of the filming site. In reality, there were…

  • “The Hangover” Gas Station

    “The Hangover” Gas Station

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent last week in Las Vegas on a business/pleasure trip (hence the lack of recent blog posts).  While there, we were lucky enough to stay at Caesars Palace (post on that location coming soon!) and found ourselves constantly quoting lines from The Hangover.  So one evening we decided to…

    Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    ‘ When I first moved to Los Angeles about eight years ago, one of the very first items on my stalking agenda was to visit the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Headquarters. I wanted to sign up for their annual Rose Court Pageant just like Donna Martin did in the Season 6 episode of 90210 entitled…

    The “Pacific Heights” House

    ‘ I have been waiting for this day for months!  Yep, that’s right folks – it is finally, finally time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings and I could not be more excited!  In honor of the occasion, I have added a Haunted Hollywood category to my site and while I typically only publish three…

  • Slacking Off . . . Again!

    Slacking Off . . . Again!

    ‘ I unfortunately do not have a blog to post for today (yet again!), but I do have a good excuse.  My dad had surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Hospital to determine how much damage was done to his pancreas over the past three years while he was taking the medication that caused his pancreatitis. …

  • Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old.  Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis.  Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails.  As an adult,…

  • The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ While perusing through my extensive backlog of stalking photographs recently, I realized that there were a few L.A. Story locales that I had yet to blog about, one of which was the former site of KCET Studios in Los Feliz, where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) worked in the 1991 comedy.  I had actually…
