  • The Never Been Kissed House

    The Never Been Kissed House

    ‘ Last weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk a location I’”‘”‘ve been on the lookout for for quite some time – Drew Barrymore’”‘”‘s childhood home from fave romantic comedy Never Been Kissed.   Chas is quite the master stalker, so last week I enlisted his help in finding this location and, lo and…

  • Tacos Jalisco from “A Star Is Born”

    Tacos Jalisco from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ Stumbling upon filmings used to be a regular occurrence when I lived in L.A.  Sadly, that is not the case in Palm Springs.  So I was thrilled – and shocked – to happen upon A Star Is Born being shot at desert eatery Tacos Jalisco while on a Windmill Tour with the Grim Cheaper…

  • The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”

    The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”

    ‘ The other Los Angeles area filming location from Twilight that I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post is the Hyatt Regency Valencia Hotel.  In Twilight, the Hyatt stood in for the Phoenix area hostelry where Bella (aka Kristen Stewart), Alice (aka Ashley Greene), and Jasper (aka Jackson Rathbone) hid out while on the run from…

  • 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…

  • Elegant Manor

    Elegant Manor

    ‘ Because there’s nothing this stalker loves more than history and abandoned locations, my BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, once took me by a dilapidated old West Adams house known as Elegant Manor that has quite a backstory.  This was years ago, though, and, while I knew the place was a filming location (thanks to this…

  • The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    ‘ Every time I open up Instagram lately I’m inundated with videos of the so-called “Matilda Challenge.”  For those whose feeds haven’t been flooded by the clips, in the challenge fans of the 1996 film re-create this scene in which Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) perfects her magic powers.  Though I’ve never seen the movie (or…

  • What Not To Shear – Nick Arrojo’s Studio in New York

    What Not To Shear – Nick Arrojo’s Studio in New York

    ‘ I guess I come by my obsessions naturally – the apple does not fall too far from the tree as they say, because my mom has been completely obsessed with the show What Not To Wear for years now. She is especially obsessed with Nick Arrojo, the hairstylist from the TLC makeover show. She…

  • Sara’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    Sara’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ After tracking down the location of the “talking” freeway sign and Now! clothing store from fave movie L.A. Story (which I blogged about here and here, respectively) a couple of weeks ago, I embarked upon a mission to uncover all of the unknown locales from the 1991 flick.  And with a lot of help…

  • Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites from Bring It On

    Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites from Bring It On

    ‘ The second item on my Bring It On  stalking agenda from last weekend was a little hotel named Humphrey’”‘”‘s Half Moon Inn & Suites, which is also located on San Diego’”‘”‘s Shelter Island, just down the street from the Marlin Club which I blogged about yesterday.    This is one location that I actually hadn’”‘”‘t planned on stalking when I first…

  • “The Hangover” Gas Station

    “The Hangover” Gas Station

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent last week in Las Vegas on a business/pleasure trip (hence the lack of recent blog posts).  While there, we were lucky enough to stay at Caesars Palace (post on that location coming soon!) and found ourselves constantly quoting lines from The Hangover.  So one evening we decided to…
