  • The Grease High School

    The Grease High School

    ‘ Growing up I absolutely loved the movie Grease. My friend Nat and I used to dress up in her mother’”‘”‘s wigs and act out scenes from Grease in front of the TV. So how excited was I to discover the location of Rydell High School in my go-to stalking book “The Ultimate Hollywood Tour…

    Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    ‘ Spoiler alert!  If you have not yet seen Chef (and if not, what’s the hold up?  I told y’all on Friday that it was one of my favorite movies of 2014!), you might not want to read today’s post as I will definitely be spoiling the ending.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Anyhow,…

    Aroma Coffee & Tea Company in Studio City

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, despite my drama-filled day on Friday, this past weekend actually turned out to be pretty darn nice.  It all started with a Saturday morning stalking trip out to Studio City’s Aroma Coffee & Tea Company, which I had read about the previous week while doing some online research…

    Poquito Mas on the Sunset Strip

    ‘ Last month, fellow stalker Ashley, from The Drewseum website, wrote a comment on my Pinches Tacos post which stated that her girl, Miss Drew Barrymore, was often spotted at another West Hollywood-area taqueria, this one named Poquito Mas.  So, because I am always on the lookout for celeb hangouts, and good Mexican food, I…

    Citigroup Center from “Opportunity Knocks”

    ‘ One of my favorite movies from my teen years is Opportunity Knocks.  I first saw the 1990 comedy in the theatre with my uncle and cracked up all the way through.  I have watched it countless times since and its hilarity has not waned in the slightest.  I knew that the flick was lensed…

    Vincente Minnelli’s Former Abandoned Mansion

    ‘ Back in February 2012, a fellow stalker named Kayleigh emailed me to ask if I knew anything about the “creepy” mansion located on the southeast corner of West Sunset Boulevard and North Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.  Her email stated, “There’”‘”‘s very little information on it online other than the fact that Liza Minnelli…

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than a cool coffee house.  So when Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman wrote about the Daily Dose Café, a downtown Los…

    The Johnson Inn Restaurant from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ The other Beautiful Girls location that I was most excited about stalking (second only to the main houses used in the movie, of course), while in Minnesota two weeks ago, was the Johnson Inn – the local “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” watering hole where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton), Tommy “Birdman” Rowland (aka Matt Dillon),…
