The “License to Drive” Party House
‘ Another License to Drive location that I was finally able to cross off my To-Stalk list while visiting L.A. a couple of weeks ago was the house where Les Anderson (Corey Haim), Dean (Corey Feldman) and Charles (Michael Manasseri) attended a birthday party in the 1988 flick, which was one of my all-time favorites. …

I knew from previous cyber-stalking, though, that the Pee-wee bus station scene was actually filmed a few miles…

Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”
‘ While doing some stalking in the Burbank area way back in November of last year, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Bob’s Big Boy restaurant on Riverside Drive to grab a bite to eat. And even though the eatery has quite a vast Hollywood history, is a filming location, serves fried food…

Where The American Idol Contestants Live
‘ Even though American Idol is not a show I regularly watch, I was completely floored to find a two page article in this week’”‘”‘s US Magazine featuring the mansion the current Idol contestants are calling home.
