    The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while my good friend Nat was in town a few weeks ago was the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple – a ten-acre public oasis located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades that was established by spiritual leader/Kriya Yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950.  Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

    The Michael Buble “Crazy Love” Concert – A Second Time!

    ‘ Last Monday night, my mom, my dad, the Grim Cheaper, and I all headed to Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles to attend the final show of Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” Tour.  And, as you can imagine, I could NOT have been more excited!  When I attended the cutie crooner’s concert back in April of…

  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • Thorne Hall from “The Holiday”

    Thorne Hall from “The Holiday”

    ‘ If I had to pick a favorite movie character it would be Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach) from The Holiday.  There’s nothing about him that I don’t adore – his kind heart, his wit, his charm, his championing of Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet).  And there’s no scene that makes me cry more than the one…

    Catalina’s Pavilion Lodge

    ‘ This morning my family and I traveled to Catalina Island for a little summer vacay.  We’”‘”‘ve been planning this trip for quite some time now and, let me tell you, I could not have been more excited to finally arrive!  Ever since my grandmother gave me Robert Wagner‘”‘”‘s autobiography, Pieces of My Heart: A Life,  for Christmas last year, I…

    The Cunningham House from “Happy Days”

    ‘ I consider myself a seasoned stalker.  I think most would agree.  Somehow though, until last month, I had never stalked one of the most iconic homes in television history.  I am talking about the Cunningham residence from Happy Days.  I did not even realize my colossal blunder until I was contacted by The Meredith…

    The “Mr. Deeds” House

    ‘ One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has being dying to stalk for ages now is Winona Ryder‘”‘”‘s red-doored childhood home from the 2002 Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.  Mike had asked for my help in tracking down this location a couple of months ago, but, for some reason, even our two heads working together couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find…

  • Neverland Ranch

    Neverland Ranch

    ‘ Since we were in the area this past weekend celebrating the Fourth of July, I just had to drag my fiance out to Neverland Ranch yesterday to stalk pop star Michael Jackson’”‘”‘s former home.  I had actually stalked the Ranch once before, back in November of 2007, but I wanted to stop by once again to see…

  • Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

  • Big Brother

    Big Brother

    ‘ Last summer I was COMPLETELY obsessed with the reality show Big Brother 8 – like absolutely on-the-edge-of-my-seat hooked on the show! I loved me some Dick and Danielle! So when I found out that the Big Brother soundstage was located on the CBS Studio Center lot in Studio City and that it could actually…
