Pee-wee’s House from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”
‘ The internet lit up this week with news that actor Paul Reubens is embarking upon a 20-city 35th Anniversary Tour celebrating Pee-wee’s Big Adventure starting next February.

Thornton’s Mansion from “Back to School”

Marilyn Monroe’s Former Home

Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

Oscar Weekend 2013
‘ I spent this past weekend in L.A. doing some pre-Oscar stalking and while I did not have as much luck with celebrity photos this year as I have in years past, my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, did. I think she got about 55 celeb pics in total! I really…

Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House
‘ This is going to be a short post today as I have had a whirlwind weekend (which I promise to write about tomorrow!) and had no time to blog. Anyway, a few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me out to stalk a location from one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time – the Drew Barrymore/Adam…
