  • Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”

    Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”

    ‘ This year for Christmas, I decided to gift the Grim Cheaper with tickets to a cooking class.  The GC is an absolutely FABULOUS cook, while I, on the other hand, can hardly crack an egg, as I mentioned in my January 2010 post about the home where Julia Child grew up.   So I thought…

  • HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    ‘ Today’s location is a special request from my good friends Katie and Lavonna, who, in a group text, both suggested I blog about some sites from The Craft as part of my Haunted Hollywood postings.  Now the 1996 horror flick is not one of my favorites and its locales have been pretty well documented…

  • The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    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 “Must Love Dogs” House

    The “Must Love Dogs” House

    ‘ One location that I had always wondered about, but never put much time into tracking down was the charming bungalow where lovelorn preschool teacher Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) lived in the 2005 romantic comedy Must Love Dogs.  Then, this past May, a fellow stalker named Linda challenged me to find the place and just…

  • The Bedtime Stories School

    The Bedtime Stories School

    ‘ Last week, while searching for the Bedtime Stories  house, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to also try to find the school featured in the movie.  We started our search by looking at street views of different elementary schools in the Los Angeles area, but pretty much came up empty-handed.  So, I decided to once…

  • The Chelsea Lately Show!

    The Chelsea Lately Show!

    ‘ My celeb obsession as of late is the E! Channel talk show Chelsea Lately and its comedienne host Chelsea Handler.  I only discovered the late night show about a month ago and I’”‘”‘d say it took me, oh, maybe one episode to become absolutely, one hundred percent addicted!  I honestly do not understand how I was not watching this show…

  • 54 Holly from “1600 Penn”

    54 Holly from “1600 Penn”

    ‘ Way back in April of last year, my good friend Marci, owner of my very favorite gift shop, Lula Mae, texted me to let me know that something was being filmed at a vacant diner (that was once the site of an eatery named 54 Holly) located just down the street from her store. …

  • Joseph’s Café – Where Britney Spears Met Kevin Federline

    Joseph’s Café – Where Britney Spears Met Kevin Federline

    ‘ Circa 2000, I thought Britney Spears was everything!  Obviously, I don’t anymore (a person can only go into a gas station restroom barefoot so many times before I start to think they’re someone I shouldn’t be emulating), but ever since watching the Lifetime biopic Britney Ever After two weeks ago, I’ve had the pop…

  • The Pasadena Playhouse

    The Pasadena Playhouse

    ‘ My boyfriend and I happened to walk past the Pasadena Playhouse this past weekend, and I just had to walk inside to stalk it. 🙂 The Pasadena Playhouse, although not a filming location, is one of the oldest and most distinguished community theatres in the US. The Playhouse has hosted hundreds of notable actors…

  • The “Bruce Almighty” Party House

    The “Bruce Almighty” Party House

    ‘ Last week while going through the glove compartment of my car, I came across the Scott’s L.A. Audio Tour of Pasadena CD that I had purchased about seven years prior.  For those who have never heard of Scott’s L.A., the family-owned company produces a series of audio driving tours of the Southern California area,…
