    Alma Mater to the Stars

    ‘ This weekend, while stalking in the Valley, my boyfriend and I drove by Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.

    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…

    St. Elizabeths Hospital from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ We all know the scene – a nervous Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) briskly walks across a grassy field toward the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, while, behind her, a large U.S. Marine band playing a rousing rendition of “Semper Fidelis” marches in formation and a Silent Drill Platoon performs an enthralling and precisely-timed…

    Brangelina – At It Again!

    ‘ The new Hello Magazine just hit the shelves with pics of Brangelina’”‘”‘s newborn twin babies. The cover of Hello looks to be an almost exact replica of the famous People Magazine cover photograph taken of Brad and Angie with newborn baby Shiloh back in June of 2006. So I just had to do a…

    Daddy Day Care

    ‘ While out and about with my dad this week, I decided to stalk the home used in the Eddie Murphy movie Daddy Day Care. Since my dad just retired, he has been recruited to be my new stalking side kick! I think he loves it about just as much as my boyfriend does. 🙂…

    Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of rap.  My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop).  The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001.  Regardless, when I heard…

    A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    ‘ Well, here it is – my final Haunted Hollywood post of 2014.  Sad day!    Last September, I stalked an abandoned mental health institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium where Marilyn Monroe’s mother, Gladys Baker Eley, spent almost a decade and a half of her life.  Due to the fact that the place was gated and…
