  • The “Why Him?” Gate House

    The “Why Him?” Gate House

    ‘ Location managers can be such tricksters!  And there’s pretty much nothing I love more than uncovering the various fabrications that go into a particular locale.  Such was the case with the gate house supposedly situated at the entrance to the massive manse belonging to millionaire video game creator Laird Mayhew (James Franco) in Why…

  • Liberace’s Former Home

    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…

  • Le Petit Bistro from “90210”

    Le Petit Bistro from “90210”

    ‘ A couple of Saturday nights ago, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in West Hollywood, tired and hungry after a long day of stalking.  We happened to come across an absolutely adorable little French restaurant named Le Petit Bistro and decided to pop in for a bite to eat.  Now, usually I do…

  • 24/7 Restaurant

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ This weekend was a whirlwind that included a spectacular Valentine’s Day with the Grim Cheaper, a (VERY crowded, but fun) trip to Disneyland with Miss Pinky Lovejoy of the Thinking Pink blog and her husband, Keith Coogan,  and seeing Air Force One in person (can’”‘”‘t get more presidential than that!).  I, unfortunately, did not…

  • The “Crossroads” Motel

    The “Crossroads” Motel

    ‘ One location that I have been trying to track down for what seems like ages now is the supposed Tucson, Arizona-area motel where Ben (aka Anson Mount) played the song “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” for Lucy (aka Britney Spears) in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  In the flick, Ben takes Lucy…

  • The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while perusing fave book Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here: More Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting (which was gifted to me by fellow stalker Lavonna – thanks, Lavonna! ), I came across a blurb about the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area apartment building where Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) and “Cousin…

  • A Visit with Our Best Friends

    A Visit with Our Best Friends

    ‘ My best friend, Robin, and his family are currently in town visiting from Switzerland for the week and I could NOT be more excited.  We have rented an uh-ma-zing house in Hollywood for their stay and are all looking forward to countless adventures together over the next seven days.  Although Robin and I see…

    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…
