  • Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    ‘ While out and about stalking in Beverly Hills two weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me on a minor detour to see the mansion where movie star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) lived in the 1995 comedy Get Shorty.  I LOVE the scene that took place at Martin’s pad, so I was beyond excited to…

  • The Marlin Club from “Bring It On”

    The Marlin Club from “Bring It On”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, my parents, my fiance, and I went down to San Diego for a few days for a short little summer vacay.  When I told fellow stalker Owen where I was headed, he set out on a mission to find pretty much every single location used in 2000′”‘”‘s Bring It On, a teen comedy which was filmed in its…

  • The Jennifer Grant “Good Stuff” Book Signing

    The Jennifer Grant “Good Stuff” Book Signing

    ‘ Back on Thursday, May 26th (I told you I am way behind in my reporting! ), Vroman’s Bookstore welcomed Jennifer Grant for a signing and discussion of her new book Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant which chronicles the actress’ experiences being raised by one of the most iconic movie stars…

  • The “Portal” Light Installation

    The “Portal” Light Installation

    ‘ Today’s locale can be filed in the hidden-gem-that-is-not-a-filming-location category, much like the Barthman Sidewalk Clock in New York.  (Well, it’”‘”‘s not really a filming location, but more on that in a bit.)  This one is located in Los Angeles, though, and is a definite must-see under-the-radar spot.  Looking back, I can’t remember how I…

  • Meredith’s House from “The Office”

    Meredith’s House from “The Office”

    ‘ Another location from the Season 7 episode of The Office titled “Michael’s Last Dundies” that fellow stalker Owen tracked down recently was the supposed Scranton, Pennsylvania-area dwelling belonging to the series’ resident alcoholic/hussy/all-around slob Meredith Palmer (aka Kate Flannery), which just so happened to be the locale that I was most interested in stalking! …

  • The Majestic Downtown from “The Holiday”

    The Majestic Downtown from “The Holiday”

    ‘ The Holiday has definitely been on my brain as of late.  I wrote about two of the houses used in the 2006 film for the December issue of Los Angeles magazine and recently got to tour Thorne Hall at Occidental College, the setting of one of its most poignant scenes.  So I figured it…

  • Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    ‘ Though all of the homes featured on Pretty Little Liars are pretty darn amazing design-wise, my personal favorite, hands-down, is the farm-like residence where Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) and her family live.  So when I began tracking down the locales used in the pilot, which was shot in Vancouver, Spencer’s pad was at the…

  • JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”

    JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”

    ‘ This Labor Day, Lifetime is set to air The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story about the making of the Saturday morning classic which ran from 1989-1993.  Um, YAY!  (How did I not know about this, by the way??  Ordering it now!)  While the show was admittedly as cheesy as they come, I loved…

  • The “Say Anything . . . ” Amphitheatre

    The “Say Anything . . . ” Amphitheatre

    ‘ Sorry to have been MIA the past couple of days.  The Grim Cheaper surprised me on Sunday morning with a two-night trip to Big Bear to play in the snow.  We had an absolute blast scurrying around in the frost and even managed to get some stalking in!  I will be blogging about those…

  • On Set With the “American Idol” Contestants

    On Set With the “American Idol” Contestants

    ‘ This past Sunday, while doing some stalking in Downtown L.A., my fiancé and I happened upon the current American Idol contestants filming a Ford commercial on the corner of South Hope Street and Wilshire Boulevard.  And even though I have yet to watch even one episode of the series this season, I begged my…
