I’ve Got the Hippy Hippy Shake!
‘ I have been a fan of ever since my early teens and during that time was, of course, one of my very favorite movies. So I was floored when I found the address of the bar Tom Cruise first worked at in the movie in a book I picked up just before my recent…

Another Day of Cleaning . . .
‘ I swear, I feel like all I do is clean lately! I have not mentioned this before, but the Grim Cheaper and I have a vacation rental that I clean almost weekly. The GC is also starting a new company with his boss, so I have been doing all of the cooking over the…

The House Where Nick Adams Died
‘ As I have mentioned a few times over the past couple of months, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here). The book, which I devoured in less than a…

Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed.

And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”
‘ The latest season of Vanderpump Rules might have been the most epic yet. With Stassi Schroeder making only occasional appearances, I had a fear that the show was going to lose all of its allure and most of its steam, but that was not the case. Kristen Doute brought the crazy like never before…

Valentino from “Pretty Woman”
‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations. Oddly though, despite the legions of websites and books with sections dedicated to its locales, I have yet to see identified the Rodeo Drive shop where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) spent an “obscene…

“The Wedding Singer” Limo Test Parking Lot
‘ One location that fellow stalker Owen has been on the lookout for for what seems like years now is the parking lot where Robbie (aka Adam Sandler) and Julia (aka Drew Barrymore) tested Sammy’s (aka Allen Covert’s) limo driving skills in fave movie The Wedding Singer. And I think I can safely say that…

Tori Spelling’s Dream House
‘ Just found out that – and to “ , no less!! The reality TV queen recently listed her Westwood home for a cool $2,395,000. Now mind you, Tori and her husband Dean only purchased this home a short nine months ago, in February of 2008. Fickle, much? This is the same home that she…
