  • Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet” Book Signing

    Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet” Book Signing

    ‘ This past Wednesday night I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to my favorite local bookstore, Vroman’s (which coincidentally just appeared in the most recent episode of Modern Family, but more on that later), to attend the book signing and discussion for Alicia Silverstone’s new lifestyle tome The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling…

  • Perino’s Restaurant

    Perino’s Restaurant

    ‘ Today’s post is going to be a long one, my fellow stalkers, so brace yourselves!  I hope that it makes up for the fact that I was on vacation for the past week.    Last October, while doing research on Mommie Dearest locations for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings, I came across a page…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’”‘”‘s post, because I was out and about all day running wedding errands yesterday, I did not have time to write a new blog entry for today.  I will be back on Monday, though, with a whole new stalking location.   In the meantime I’”‘”‘d like to wish all of my fellow…

  • The “Malcolm in the Middle” House

    The “Malcolm in the Middle” House

    ‘ This weekend while I was in Studio City, I did a little stalking of the house.  I must admit that I have never watched a single episode of I know, I know, I must have been living under a rock for the past eight years or something – but since it is the favorite show of…

  • Another Day Off

    ‘ I am taking the day off once again as I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with my dad.  He should be coming home today, though, so hopefully I will be able to write a new post for tomorrow.  Thanks to all of my fellow stalkers for their well wishes and kind words – they mean…

  • The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    ‘ Today’s location is one that I have actually already once blogged about – way back in April of 2008 – but because it was a fairly short write-up and because I somehow missed one very pertinent detail when reporting on the place, I decided that it was most-definitely worthy of a re-post.  The location? …

  • Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

  • Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

    Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I have made no secret of my love for bookstores on this blog, especially in recent weeks (as evidenced here and here).  I literally cannot get enough of them!  So when I spotted a book boutique pop up in the Season 2 episode of Sex and the City titled “The Freak Show,” which I…

  • Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I admittedly become obsessed with a lot of shows.  But it is a rare occasion (at least as of late) to find ourselves consumed by a series filmed entirely in L.A. (Bosch and Brooklyn Nine-Nine notwithstanding).  Darn runaway production!  So I was ecstatic to discover the thrilling, hilarious AND locally…

  • Arthur Abbott’s House from “The Holiday”

    Arthur Abbott’s House from “The Holiday”

    ‘ Another location from the 2006 movie The Holiday that I set out to track down last week for my Christmas-themed stalking posts was the large Mediterranean-style abode where Arthur Abbott (aka The Misfits’ Eli Wallach) lived.  Thanks to the flick’s production notes, I knew that the property was located somewhere in Brentwood and that…
