  • Triada Palm Springs

    Triada Palm Springs

    ‘ For those who are unfamiliar with the area, Palm Springs is HOT in the summer.  Well, it’s hot year-round, but in the summer it’s hot hot – like 115 most days.  One nice consequence of that fact is that hotels drop their prices during the inclement months.  My family loves to partake of the…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I am cutting this week short blogging-wise so that I can begin my Thanksgiving celebrations early.  I am so excited for all that we have planned for the holiday, including a stay somewhere cold, and will be sharing some of my upcoming adventures on the blog soon.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers…

    Casa del Mar Hotel from “Just Go With It”

    ‘ You can watch the Just Go With It trailer, in which Casa del Mar is featured, by clicking above.

For whatever reason, producers…

  • Stu’s House from "Scream"

    Stu’s House from "Scream"

    ‘ At the risk of my October postings turning into a full-fledged Scream-fest (and there ain’t nothing wrong with that, honestly!), I’m coming at ya again with another locale from the 1996 horror flick – the Tomales-area farmhouse where Stuart Macher (Matthew Lillard) lived.  Situated up a long, winding driveway and barely visible from the…

  • The “Must Love Dogs” House

    The “Must Love Dogs” House

    ‘ One location that I had always wondered about, but never put much time into tracking down was the charming bungalow where lovelorn preschool teacher Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) lived in the 2005 romantic comedy Must Love Dogs.  Then, this past May, a fellow stalker named Linda challenged me to find the place and just…

  • Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the house where Joan Crawford (aka Faye Dunaway) lived in Mommie Dearest, I have become just a wee-bit obsessed with the 1981 film as well as the 1978 autobiography of Joan’s daughter, Christina Crawford, on which it was based.  The book is a fabulous, fabulous read, by…

    The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”

    ‘ Another stalking stop on the Grim Cheaper’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt around Los Angeles that we embarked upon this past February was the historic Koreatown eatery known as the HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant.  And while I had known about the watering hole’s vast history and longtime celebrity clientele before we dined there, up…

    The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    ‘ The fourth and final Stillwater location that my family and I stalked while in Minnesota two weeks ago was the “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” bus stop where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) was first dropped off upon returning home for his high school reunion at the very beginning of fave movie Beautiful Girls.  In real…

  • Paul Rudd’s Parents’ House from “I Love You, Man”

    Paul Rudd’s Parents’ House from “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ A few weeks ago while doing some stalking in the Valley, I dragged my fiancé out to visit the house where Peter Klaven’s (aka Paul Rudd’s) parents, Oswald and Joyce Klaven, who were played by J.K. Simmons and Jane Curtin respectively, and his brother Robbie (aka Andy Samberg) lived in fave movie I Love…
