  • The 3rd Annual “Get Lucky for Lupus” Celebrity Poker Tournament

    The 3rd Annual “Get Lucky for Lupus” Celebrity Poker Tournament

    ‘ Last Wednesday evening, my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, invited me to do a little stalking of the 3rd Annual “Get Lucky for Lupus” Celebrity Poker Tournament, which benefited Lupus LA, the West Coast division of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation.  Well, once I head the word “lupus”, I knew that…

    ‘ My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is…

    Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    ‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

  • Happy Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ I’d like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a VERY happy Memorial Day.  I am taking today off from blogging as I am currently on vacation in the Pacific Northwest, doing some stalking of the Seattle and Vancouver areas, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  I hope you…

  • Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ The second Monster-in-Law location that I set my sights on tracking down this past weekend was the gargantuan mansion owned by Viola Fields (aka Jane Fonda) in the flick.  Once again, fellow stalker Nick had done most of the legwork on this one by discerning that the house was located in Pasadena and had…

  • Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally home from a blissful two weeks in Switzerland. It was so hard to leave my best friend and his amazing family (pictured above) and the beauty of their country – especially being that when we returned to Palm Springs, temperatures were around 122 degrees! I will be…

  • Colony 29 from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

    Colony 29 from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

    ‘ After watching the Season 4 episodes of fave show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills titled “Palm Spring Breakers” and “Escape to Bitch Mountain,” I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down Colony 29, the sprawling enclave where the Housewives stayed during their brief desert visit.  Fortunately, it wasn’t a tough find thanks…

  • Neve Campbell’s Former Haunted House

    Neve Campbell’s Former Haunted House

    ‘ I love a good haunted house, especially at this time of year.  One owned by a celebrity is even better.  One owned by the star of my favorite horror film of all time?  Well, I can’t think of anything more thrilling – or more perfectly suited to my annual October postings.  So when I…

  • Emerson College Los Angeles from “Scandal”

    Emerson College Los Angeles from “Scandal”

    ‘ Despite the fact that I live in Palm Springs, I tend to think of myself as having my finger on the pulse of L.A.  But when penning A Film Lover’s Guide to Tomorrow’s Movie Location Stars for Los Angeles magazine in 2015, I overlooked two key spots, which I hope speaks more to the…

  • The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    ‘ The last Larry Crowne location that I stalked recently – and there will be more coming, believe me, because Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has found quite a few others –  is the cul-de-sac where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) and his garage-sale-hosting neighbors, Lamar Johnson (aka Cedric the Entertainer) and wife B’Ella Johnson (aka Taraji…
