  • The “Jack and Jill” House

    The “Jack and Jill” House

    ‘ This past Sunday afternoon, while doing some stalking in the Pacific Palisades area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper over to Amalfi Drive to stalk the main house used in the 2011 movie Jack and Jill.  And I should mention here that while I did not have very high hopes for Jack and Jill before…

    SPARCinLA from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are moving in a couple of days (we bought a house out here in the desert – our first house!) and while packing last week I informed him that as soon as we got settled we would be taking a trip to Los Angeles as I “have nothing to…

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Coffee

    ‘ My love of coffee knows no bounds!  So I have, of course, visited pretty much every café the Coachella Valley has to offer.  Of that group, there are a few standouts.  Read on for my list of the very best spots to grab a cup of joe in the desert.  As was the case…

  • The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area locale that fellow stalker/location scout Scott Trimble, of the STS Locations website, helped me to find recently was the residence where Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) good friend/”Witness #11”, Susan Hartunian (aka Dominique Swain), lived with her utterly clueless and apathetic mother, Tiffany Hartunian (aka ER’s Alex Kingston), in the 2006 movie…

  • SecondHand Wonderland

    SecondHand Wonderland

    ‘ My BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, recently opened a vintage/collectables shop named SecondHand Wonderland in Simi Valley.  The boutique’s motto is “Not your average thrift store,” which couldn’t more perfectly encapsulate the place.  Mike has accumulated a massive amount of entertainment memorabilia, movie props, sports collectables, magazines and vintage toys over the years, all of…

  • The O’Neill House from "Beverly Hills, 90210"

    The O’Neill House from "Beverly Hills, 90210"

    ‘ While perusing the article “The Ultimate Guide to Hidden L.A.” in the February 2013 issue of Los Angeles Magazine, I came across a blurb about the O’Neill House in Beverly Hills – one of Southern California’s most unique residences – and recognized the place immediately.  I had seen the property featured in a production…

  • Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out doing some stalking with my fiancé in West Hollywood, I made a little pit stop at the place where Brody Jenner is shown to reside on fave reality show The Hills, a West Hollywood building which is known as the Sierra Towers.   I found this location once again…

  • The Girl Next Door Houses

    The Girl Next Door Houses

    ‘ Located just a block away from the Beethoven house, which I blogged about yesterday, are the two main homes used in the 2004 movie The Girl Next Door.  Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me by this location on the same day that we stalked the Beethoven house a few months back.  And, even though I…

  • Andrew’s House from “Hidden Away”

    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…

  • Dr. Mott’s House From “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”

    Dr. Mott’s House From “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”

    ‘ Another The Hand That Rocks the Cradle location that I stalked while vacationing in the Pacific Northwest this past May was the ultra-modern abode which belonged to Dr. Victor Mott (aka John de Lancie) and his wife, Peyton Flanders (aka Rebecca De Mornay), in the 1992 thriller.  Amazingly enough, I didn’t actually remember the…
