  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

  • The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater, Minnesota location that my family and I stalked last week was the River Oasis Cafe from fave movie Beautiful Girls.  And I’m really hoping that my fellow stalkers are not yet sick of reading about Beautiful Girls locations, ‘cause there are still quite a few of them that I’ve yet to blog…

  • The Wedding Singer Bakery

    The Wedding Singer Bakery

    ‘ A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Owen asked for my help in locating the bakery featured in one of his all time favorite movies, the 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer.  Owen had actually contacted one of the movie’”‘”‘s crew members who happened to remember that the bakery where filming took place was located somewhere in Montrose, a small town…

  • Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    ‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.  You’d be wrong, though.  While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…

  • The “Thriller” House

    The “Thriller” House

    ‘ Today, in honor of Halloween, I thought I’d blog about what is arguably the most famous haunted house of all time – the Victorian-style residence that was featured in the 1983 music video “Michael Jackson’s Thriller”.  Even though I’ve actually already blogged about this location once before (way back in December of 2007 when…

  • George Clooney’s Former Digs

    George Clooney’s Former Digs

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to my new favorite book Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten, I was able to stalk George Clooney‘”‘”‘s former Studio City house.  Now, to be completely honest, I am not a big fan of George Clooney.  I’”‘”‘ll admit that he’”‘”‘s OK-looking, but for some reason he just doesn’”‘”‘t do it…

  • The Chinese Food Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    The Chinese Food Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ After what seems like months of searching, I have FINALLY found the Chinese Food restaurant from my fave romantic comedy . For the past few weeks, I have dragged my poor father to literally every single Chinese and Japanese restaurant in the greater Pasadena area, because according to the director’”‘”‘s commentary on the DVD,…

  • Simon Fuller’s Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

    Simon Fuller’s Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, bright and early this past Monday morning I headed out to Hollywood to attend the Walk of Fame Star Ceremony for American Idol creator Simon Fuller.  And I really should admit here that, while the Grim Cheaper is a die-hard fan of AI, I have never really been…

  • Scorpion Headquarters from “Scorpion”

    Scorpion Headquarters from “Scorpion”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I tend to get hooked on a new series every summer.  Well, truth be told, we get hooked on new series all throughout the year (The Goldbergs, Veep, and Vanderpump Rules come to mind).  But during the summer months, we typically pick out a new-to-us show and binge-watch it nightly…

  • The Francis F. Palmer House from “Gossip Girl”

    The Francis F. Palmer House from “Gossip Girl”

    ‘ A Gossip Girl tour of New York wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Constance Billard School for Girls/St. Jude’s School for Boys, the elite preparatory academy attended by Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), and the rest of “Manhattan’s elite” teenage set on the CW…
