  • The Great Quake of ’08!

    The Great Quake of ’08!

    ‘ Yesterday morning at around 11:42am a fairly large earthquake hit the LA area. I received a text message from a friend, who forgot that I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, asking if I felt the quake. My first thought was ” OMG! My Marilyn Merlot bottle!” LOL The bottle of Marilyn wine that…

  • Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ Never in a million years did I think that the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, one of my all-time favorite movies, would provide me with a Haunted Hollywood posting, but it did!  In July 2014, a reader named Frank Vollhardt wrote a comment on my post about the DTMTBD house alerting…

  • The “Even Stevens” House

    The “Even Stevens” House

    ‘ Though I am a tween at heart, for some reason the 1999 television series Even Stevens, which focused on the life of seventh grader Louis Stevens (Shia LaBeouf), was never on my radar.  In fact, I don’t think I had ever even heard of it until a fellow stalker named Britt posted a comment…

  • The “(500) Days of Summer” Bench

    The “(500) Days of Summer” Bench

    ‘ Another Downtown Los Angeles location that my fiancé and I stalked this past weekend was the famous bench from 2009’s indie hit (500) Days of Summer.  A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Eileen emailed me to tell me of the bench’s location and to send me the above photograph of herself and her roommate…

  • Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    ‘ Considering it is one of New York’s best-known film locations, you’d think I would have stalked Tom’s Restaurant, aka Monk’s Café from Seinfeld, ages ago.  That was not the case, though.  While the Morningside Heights eatery had been on my To-Stalk List ever since my first visit to Manhattan back in 2005, due to…

  • The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    ‘ My movie obsession began at a young age.  I can pretty much pinpoint it to 1982 when Annie premiered.  I was hooked on the musical from the start.  I watched it over and over and over, eventually wearing out the VHS copy that my parents bought me.  Its locations have also served as a…

  • TomTom from “Vanderpump Rules”

    TomTom from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ The Instagram world was set on fire (well, my Instagram world, at least) Wednesday night when the cast of Vanderpump Rules, along with other Bravolebrities and reality TV stars, began posting photos of the DailyMail.com & DailyMailTV Summer Party which took place at TomTom, the highly anticipated new bar venture by husband and wife…

  • “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Basketball Court

    “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Basketball Court

    ‘ I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how my friend Owen found the basketball court from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  (That’s Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, for those who don’t read my site regularly.)  Back in June 2011, he became bound and determined to…

  • Tom Neal’s Former House

    Tom Neal’s Former House

    ‘ Upon first moving to the Desert in January, I started seriously perusing the book Palm Springs Confidential, which the Grim Cheaper’s boss had purchased for me several years prior.  One locale mentioned in the tome that immediately piqued my interest was the former Little Tuscany Estates residence of Tom Neal, where, on April 1st,…

  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Presidents’ Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous three-day weekend! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘
