  • The So-Called Houdini Ruins

    The So-Called Houdini Ruins

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for just about forever now is the so-called Harry Houdini Estate, or Houdini Ruins, located at the corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Lookout Mountain Avenue in Laurel Canyon.  I first read about the site five years ago in fave stalking tome Hollywood: The Movie Lover’s…

  • The Julien’s Auctions Hollywood Legends Exhibition

    The Julien’s Auctions Hollywood Legends Exhibition

    ‘ This past Saturday afternoon I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the Hollywood Legends exhibition currently being hosted by Julien’s Auctions, a Beverly Hills-area auction house which specializes in entertainment memorabilia, celebrity artifacts, and high-profile estates.  Prior to each auction it hosts, Julien’s opens up its exhibition hall to the public offering them…

  • The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ My obsession with The Morning Show is no secret.  I’ve blogged about its locations four times already (here, here, here, and here) and it isn’t even on its eighth episode!  Readers have obviously taken note because I recently received an email from one who works in downtown Los Angeles informing me that some filming…

  • Dana’s House from “The Goldbergs”

    Dana’s House from “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ Brenda and Dylan.  Winnie and Kevin.  Rachel and Joey.  Adam and Dana.  All TV couples who didn’t wind up together, but who, in my never-to-be-humble opinion, really should have.  Though, since The Goldbergs is still on the air, I guess there’s still hope for the latter two.  I mean, any romance that starts out…

  • The Joshua Tree Inn & Motel

    The Joshua Tree Inn & Motel

    ‘ I had never heard of Gram Parsons or the Joshua Tree Inn & Motel, where the musician met his untimely end in 1973, until being interviewed by the “Valley’”‘”‘s favorite talkers,” Bill Feingold and Kevin Holmes, for their radio show on 94.3 KNews this past August.  During the show, Kevin asked me if I…

  • 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,…

  • Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that absolutely grips me.  Granted, I watch – and get hooked on – a lot of series, but among them are certain standouts.  The Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Beverly Hills, 90210 come to mind, though my obsession with the latter was admittedly next-level.  My latest…

  • Halloween 2010 at the Hotel Santa Barbara

    Halloween 2010 at the Hotel Santa Barbara

    ‘ As I mentioned last week, this past Saturday morning the Grim Cheaper and I headed up north to the Central Coast of California to spend Halloween with our good friends who live in Santa Barbara, or the “American Riviera” as the seaside city is colloquially known.  For those who have never visited the area…

  • Lorenzo Lamas’ House from “Sex and the City”

    Lorenzo Lamas’ House from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ This past weekend was hands down the best. Oscar. weekend. ever.  I ended up stalking only one event (the torrential rain kept me indoors the rest of the time), but while there I got to meet one of my top-five celebrity crushes, Mr. Joshua Jackson from Dawson’s Creek.   Like I said, best. Oscar. weekend.…

  • The Envelope Emmy Week “Mad Men” Screening

    The Envelope Emmy Week “Mad Men” Screening

    ‘ Ever since fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me to be his plus-one for the SAG screening/cast Q & A of the FX television series Justified back in late May, I have been all about attending similar-type events.  So when he told me about an Envelope Emmy Week screening/roundtable of…
