    Dawnridge – Tony Duquette’s Former House

    ‘ Last month, while perusing the July 2013 issue of InStyle magazine, I became just a wee-bit intrigued by the spot where the cover shoot with actress Salma Hayek took place – a residence formerly owned by legendary designer Tony Duquette that the article described as an oft-filmed-at locale.  After reading through the story, I…

  • The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    ‘ Sometimes I think Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I are one brain living in two different bodies.  Case in point – one of my most beloved movies of all time is the little-known 1989 sleeper The Big Picture, which I saw with my mom shortly after it originally came out almost two-and-a-half decades ago.  In…

    I Have Got to Get Me One of These!

    ‘ While driving this weekend, I happened to pass by this interesting contraption and just had to stop and take a pic! LOL! Apparently “Dan, the Handyman” is willing to rent out his boom-lift to paparazzi for picture taking at those hard-to-stalk locations. This device would have come in handy when I stalked Brad and…

    Michael J. Fox’s Childhood Home

    ‘ My good friend – and fellow stalker – Owen is an absolutely huge and longtime fan of actor Michael J. Fox.  In fact, I think it’s safe to say that MJF is Owen’s Jennifer Aniston.  So, when I found out that the Canadian-born actor grew up in Burnaby, British Columbia, the very same Vancouver…

    Dionne’s House From “Clueless”

    ‘ One location that I have been searching for for what seems like forever is the huge castle-like abode where Cher’s (aka Alicia Silverstone’s) best friend Dionne (aka Stacey Dash) lived in one of my all time favorite comedies, 1995’s Clueless.   Since I had been trying to track down the home for years and had…

    The “Love Happens” Houses

    ‘ Two other Vancouver-area locations that fellow stalker Owen managed to track down from the ultra-depressing 2009 romantic comedy Love Happens were the residences belonging to Eloise Chandler’s mom (aka Frances Conway) and Burke Ryan’s former in-laws (aka Martin Sheen and Deirdre Blades).  Both homes are located about ten miles southeast of Vancouver in the Queens Park…

    Another Long Day in the Hospital

    ‘ I am sorry to say that I don’t have a new blog to post for today as I spent about 12 hours in the hospital yesterday with my dad (his surgery lasted far longer than expected) and didn’t have time to write one.  🙁  But the good news is that my dad is doing…

    Il Cielo

    ‘ Looking at wedding venues is so darn fun that, I swear, I think I would be happy just remaining engaged forever.  It could be my full time job.  What do you do?  Oh, I’”‘”‘m engaged – full time!  🙂  LOL  On Tuesday, my wedding venue expedition led my mom and me to a little restaurant in Beverly…
