    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow stalkers.  I hope everyone has a hearty, safe and blessed holiday.  Like last year, I will be cooking tonight’s meal with my mom and am really looking forward to the endeavor, as well as the festivities of the rest of…

  • The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I am a diabetic.   And in order to combat my currently out-of-whack blood sugars, I recently picked up Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, a best-selling book which proposes a VERY low carbohydrate diet to maintain blood sugar control.  Which is a problem, because this stalker…

    Parisian Florist – The Flower Shop Joe DiMaggio Used to Send Roses to Marilyn Monroe’s Gravesite for 20 Years

    ‘ As a child, I remember often hearing about the weekly delivery of roses that Joe DiMaggio sent to the grave of his former wife, Miss Marilyn Monroe, for two full decades.  This was long before my obsession with the blonde bombshell had taken hold, but the gesture stuck with me as an extraordinary act…

  • Caesars Palace from “The Hangover”

    Caesars Palace from “The Hangover”

    ‘ My recent trip to Las Vegas with the Grim Cheaper was magical, due in large part to the fact that we stayed at Caesars Palace.  Neither the GC nor I had ever stayed there before and, while planning our trip, I decided to see what the rates were.  I happened to find a remarkably…

  • The Alhambra from “NCIS”

    The Alhambra from “NCIS”

    ‘ Sometimes you go years wondering about a location only to find out that it is right in your own backyard.  For what seemed like ages, I had wanted to track down the United States Criminal Investigative Service office from NCIS.  I had a feeling that the series used two different structures – one for…

  • The Victorian from “Mr. Mom”

    The Victorian from “Mr. Mom”

    ‘ Some movie scenes just seem to stay with you, seared into your memory for years, despite the fact that you can remember little else about the storyline.  That’s how it was for me and Mr. Mom.  I had not seen the comedy since 1983 when it first premiered in theatres and recalled few details…

  • The Lost Horizon Apartment Complex from “Major Crimes”

    The Lost Horizon Apartment Complex from “Major Crimes”

    ‘ I have long been a fan of the television series Major Crimes (as well as its parent show The Closer) and though I love pretty much every single episode that airs, I do have a definitive favorite – Season 2’s “There’s No Place Like Home.”  For those who have not seen the episode (and…

  • Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate change, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, one of my favorite Tinseltown lodgings and frequent film star, was sold a couple of years ago, rebranded as a Loews, and extensively remodeled.  Though…

  • Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post about Le Petit Bistro back in early August, one location that I have been longing to stalk for quite some time now is Figaro Bistrot, an adorable little French cafe that has appeared in numerous productions over the years, most notably the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign…

  • The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    ‘ Back in early August, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from the Drewseum website, challenged me to find the large pink mansion belonging to the  Cooper family – Sylvie (aka Sara Gilbert), Darryl (aka Tom Skerritt), and Georgie (aka Cheryl Ladd) – in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.  But because I was just a few weeks…
