  • The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper often accuses me of beating a dead horse.  While I typically don’t agree with him, today’s post is pretty concrete evidence that he’s right, because here I am yet again with yet another article about the diner from Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Beat It” music video.  Today actually marks the fourth time…

  • Heidi and Spencer’s New House

    Heidi and Spencer’s New House

    ‘ Ever since Season 5, Part II of The Hills premiered back in September, I have been getting email requests to locate the house Spencer and Heidi moved into in the debut episode which was entitled “It’s On Bitch”.   Thankfully, fellow stalker Virginie tracked down the duo’s new home pretty much immediately after the episode…

  • Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    ‘ I just finished reading a fabulous book about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest controversies titled Room 1219:  The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood by Greg Merritt.  Prior to reading the tome, I knew little about actor/comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, but had always…

    The ” . . . Baby One More Time” Costume

    ‘ One of the most important items on my Stalking Bucket List was checked off last week while the Grim Cheaper and I were in Las Vegas.  Way back in October 2010 (while doing research for this post), I learned that Britney Spears’ schoolgirl costume from her 1998 “ . . . Baby One More…

  • Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago.  Sure I’ve visited the neighboring Mountain View Cemetery numerous times and even dedicated a post to it, but somehow I never knew about…

  • Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    ‘ Another Scream 3 filming location that I had long wanted to stalk was Runyon Ranch – the large hilltop home where actress Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) lived in the 2000 thriller. I first found out about the locale from fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, but…

  • The Houses from the Movie “Big”

    The Houses from the Movie “Big”

    ‘ Right around the corner from The King of Queens house, which I blogged about on Friday, are the two main houses used in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie Big.  And when I say “right around the corner”, I literally mean RIGHT around the corner.  The King of Queens  house and the Big  houses are…

  • Everybody Loves A Stalker!

    Everybody Loves A Stalker!

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend to the Beverly Hills Hotel on the pretense of having a drink at one of our favorite bars – The Polo Lounge – but the real reason for our outing was so that I could pick up the 2008 version of my favorite LA star map – the…

  • Dolly Green’s House from “Eye for an Eye”

    Dolly Green’s House from “Eye for an Eye”

    ‘ Taking a break today from my many Gossip Girl posts, I thought I would write about a residence that I stalked with fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, way back in mid-July.  While he was in town for a little Southern California stalking vacay, the two of us, along with his super-sweet mother,…

    Kyle Richards’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ Last weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I once again headed out to Palm Springs for a little weekend getaway and while there I, of course, just had to drag him out to stalk the vacation home formerly belonging to Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, which was featured in the Season 1 episode…
