  • A “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Halloween

    A “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Halloween

    ‘ I usually start planning my and the Grim Cheaper’s Halloween costumes on November 1st each year.  Out with the old, in with the new, as they say.  This year I was a bit late to the game because by the time mid-summer came around, I still found myself with no ideas.  And then, on…

  • Scott Baio is 46 . . . and Stalked!

    Scott Baio is 46 . . . and Stalked!

    ‘ All this stalking must be rubbing off on my boyfriend, because he called me Tuesday night, all excited, saying, “I found a street sign and an address in the background of Scott Baio is 46 . . . and Pregnant – we can go stalk his house this weekend!” LOL I think my boyfriend…

  • The “Crossroads” Motel

    The “Crossroads” Motel

    ‘ One location that I have been trying to track down for what seems like ages now is the supposed Tucson, Arizona-area motel where Ben (aka Anson Mount) played the song “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” for Lucy (aka Britney Spears) in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  In the flick, Ben takes Lucy…

  • The Dutch Chocolate Shop from “Castle”

    The Dutch Chocolate Shop from “Castle”

    ‘ I am an extremely excitable person.  A visit to Disneyland, randomly running in to a friend, a surprise sale at a favorite store, unexpected access to an off-limits filming location – all can send me into a tailspin.  Such was the case last week when the Grim Cheaper and I were driving to stalk…

  • Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    ‘ One location that had been on my To-Stalk list for what seemed like ages was the Hawthorne-area home where my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe spent the first eight-and-a-half years of her life.  Fellow stalker Lavonna had texted me the address years ago, but because I so rarely find myself in that neck of the…

  • Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me!  Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants!  The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.  And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a…

    A Q & A with the Cast of “Justified”

    ‘ Last Tuesday evening, my good friend Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me to attend a SAG screening/cast Q & A for the FX television series Justified at a venue in North Hollywood.  Now I should mention here that I have been a member of SAG for just about nine years and,…

  • Bridges Auditorium from “The West Wing”

    Bridges Auditorium from “The West Wing”

    ‘ I am one of the few people in the world who did not watch The West Wing when it was on the air.  And boy was I missing out!  The Grim Cheaper and I started binging the series on a whim this past January and now can’t get enough!  The show is so good,…

  • “The Goldbergs” House

    “The Goldbergs” House

    ‘ A couple of years ago, my good friend Lavonna got obsessed with the ABC series The Goldbergs and asked me to do some research on its locales.  She was most interested in learning the location of the Goldberg family’s Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home and I found the address – 3071 Earlmar Drive in Cheviot Hills…

  • Blossom Restaurant from “The Morning Show”

    Blossom Restaurant from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I have had to venture out to downtown L.A. several times over the past few months due to some medical issues my dad is having (his main doctor is there).  The silver lining during this stressful time (besides the fact that things seem to be progressing in the right direction for him now, knock…
