    Grayson Manor from “Revenge”

    ‘ My favorite location from the television series Revenge is Grayson Manor, the massive Hamptons estate that originally belonged to the dysfunctional Grayson family, but is currently home to Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp).  It seems that pretty much everyone who watches the show is as obsessed with the house as I am and there are…

  • Library Bar from “Parenthood”

    Library Bar from “Parenthood”

    ‘ In his bestselling book Outliers: The Story of Success, author Malcolm Gladwell asserts that a person needs 10,000 hours of practice at something in order to become an expert.  I’ve been writing my blog for about nine years now, working on it at least eight hours a day, five days a week, which translates…

  • The “Object of My Affection” House

    The “Object of My Affection” House

    ‘ The Object of My Affection is my least favorite of all the Jennifer Aniston movies. I remember watching it in college and being thoroughly disappointed. I mean, come on, it has to be one of the crappiest movies ever made. But if we’”‘”‘re being honest here, has she ever made a good one? LOL…

  • Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day!

    Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day!

    ‘ I apologize for being M.I.A. most of last week. My grandma came to town for a five-day visit and, despite the fact that she is 88 years old (!!!), we spent most of our time out and about. I can only hope that I am as spry at that age! Anyway, I will be…

  • The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

    Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    ‘ The idea of watching a movie outdoors at night in an LA cemetery might at first seem a little odd to some. And I must admit, it did at first to me, too. But that’”‘”‘s exactly what I did this past Saturday night for a screening of Pee Wee’”‘”‘s Big Adventure at the Hollywood…

  • Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!

    Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!

    ‘ Yet another New York location that Mike, God of Stalking, found for me is the new apartment Samantha moves into early in the third season of Sex and the City. This same apartment was featured throughout the end of the series’”‘”‘ six season run. And I absolutely could not figure out its exact location.…

  • Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    ‘ One location that I attempted to stalk far more times than I actually care to admit is the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area Municipal Stadium where Sam Coulson (aka Michael Vartan) kissed Josie Geller (aka Drew Barrymore) for the very first time during the final scene of fave movie Never Been Kissed.  Fellow stalker Owen had…

  • The Rum House from “Birdman”

    The Rum House from “Birdman”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper typically could care less about filming locations, but he is absolutely obsessed with the movie The Godfather.  So I included a couple of locales from the 1972 Best Picture winner on the itinerary for our recent trip to the Big Apple.  One of those spots was Hotel Edison, a historic Theater…

    Aldo’s Coffee Shop – Where Sonny Met Cher

    ‘ On the November 4th episode of Dancing with the Stars, which featured singer Cher as a guest judge, contestants Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani danced a Viennese Waltz that adorably reenacted Cher’s first encounter with Sonny Bono to the 1965 hit “I Got You Babe.”  In the segment showing Leah and Tony prepping for…
