    Martin Luther King Day!

    ‘ I will be taking a respite from blogging today in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I will actually be spending the entire day with Mike, from MovieShotsLA – one last stalking hurrah before my move to the Desert on Wednesday. I do promise to be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new…

    Owen Wilson’s Former House

    ‘ In honor of Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson‘”‘”‘s rekindled romance (pictures of the two frolicking in Miami surfaced on the pages of US Magazine this week), I decided to stalk Owen’”‘”‘s Santa Monica abode.

    Perino’s Restaurant

    ‘ Today’s post is going to be a long one, my fellow stalkers, so brace yourselves!  I hope that it makes up for the fact that I was on vacation for the past week.    Last October, while doing research on Mommie Dearest locations for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings, I came across a page…

  • Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    ‘ I have made no secret of the fact that I majorly ration Christmas locations from year to year.  The sad truth is that few holiday flicks are lensed in the L.A. area (the city’s constant sunshine and lack of snow doesn’t exactly scream “Noel!”), which translates to a very minimal amount of holiday locales. …

  • Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Oh, how this stalker loves herself a dark, wood-paneled bar!  There is just something so warm and inviting about them, which is probably why they are featured regularly onscreen.  One that I was quite fixated on tracking down for years was the supposed Tempe, Arizona-area “Crocodile,” where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got stood up…

    Jimmie’s House from “Pulp Fiction” – the Correct One!

    ‘ Last week, a location photographer named Cris emailed me to ask for some stalking help.  Turns out he had just scouted a house located at 4507 Kraft Avenue in Studio City and the owner (who bought the abode in 2009) had informed him that the residence had been used as Jimmie Dimmick’s (Quentin Tarantino’s)…

    MK & A’s Alma Mater

    ‘ I must admit that I have long been a fan of the Olsen twins. What can I say – they are my guilty pleasure. Even today I still enjoy renting their movies (New York Minute is a personal favorite!) and, yes, I even have the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fashion dolls! LOL Currently, I…

    Jeff Malene’s House From Girls Just Want To Have Fun

    ‘ Got a call from fellow stalker Chas last week, who told me that he had finally received his Girls Just Want To Have Fun  Netflix rental in the mail.  Chas was calling me up to ask if I wanted any other locations from the movie found – besides SJP’”‘”‘s ubiquitous apartment building, of course.  I believe my…

    Candace’s Rental from “You”

    ‘ Though Anavrin was by far my favorite locale from the second season of the Netflix series You, I was also pretty darn smitten with the charming Victorian that Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers) rented during her stay in Los Angeles while posing as Amy Adam.  I was struck by the picturesque property as soon as…
