    Andrew’s House from “Hidden Away”

    ‘ Ah yes, another Hidden Away locale.  I promise this is the last one!  Despite the fact that the 2013 Lifetime Original Movie was laughably bad, I became obsessed with tracking down all of its locations, mainly due to the fact that it was lensed for the most part in Palm Springs.  (You can read…

  • Cordon’s Ranch Market from “Christmas with the Kranks”

    Cordon’s Ranch Market from “Christmas with the Kranks”

    ‘ Christmas with the Kranks has got to be one of the oddest movies I’ve ever come across location-wise.  The 2004 holiday flick not only used the backlots of three (count ‘em!) three different L.A. studios to portray Riverside, Illinois, the Chicago suburb where the story takes place (as I chronicled in this post), but…

    Touring the WB Ranch

    ‘ My good friends Lavonna and Kim are in town this week visiting from Ohio and we spent all day yesterday touring various studios, including one of my personal favorites – the Warner Bros. Ranch.  So I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow…

  • The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    ‘ Some might not consider the subject of today’s post a Christmas location.  It’s certainly not from a holiday flick, that’s for sure.  But the scene that was shot there took place on Christmas Eve, so I figured it was fair game.  For those who do not recognize the pad pictured above, it was at…

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    ‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.  The desert – picturesque, secluded and a scant 100 miles from Lalaland – therefore became the obvious go-to…

  • The He’s Just Not That Into You Movie Premiere

    ‘ I am currently waiting on pins and needles for the movie He’”‘”‘s Just Not That Into You to hit theatres this upcoming Friday. The New Line Cinema film has all the makings of a hit – it stars my girl Jen and is based on an episode of fave television show Sex and the…

  • My Latest Interview – with “The Nowman Show”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are back from our whirlwind trip to NYC, which was an absolute blast!  I have countless Big Apple locations to post in the coming weeks, as well as a slew of L.A. locales.  Today, though, I wanted to share my latest interview with The Nowman Show, which you can…

    Sex In My City

    ‘ To promote her new book, , author and creator Candace Bushnell made an appearance at my fave bookstore, Vroman’”‘”‘s, in Pasadena last night. I could not have been more excited for this event!!! I was absolutely dying to see the real life Carrie Bradshaw in person. For those not in the know, much like…

  • The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    ‘ In October 2008 cover story, photographer Mark Anderson asks “Who ever forgets the first time they saw Marilyn Monroe?” Such a great quote! I remember exactly where I was the first time I saw Miss Monroe – sitting in my apartment watching just a few short months ago. As soon as I watched the…

  • The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home from “Six Feet Under”

    The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home from “Six Feet Under”

    ‘ One location that I stalked well over a year ago, but for whatever reason have yet to blog about, is the Victorian-style residence which stood in for the supposed North Hollywood-area Fisher & Sons (and later Fisher-Diaz) Funeral Home on the immensely popular HBO series Six Feet Under.  Amazingly enough, up until yesterday morning,…
