The Former BaBalu Lounge – Where Michael Buble Got His Start
‘ Another Michael Buble location that I found thanks to the book Michael Buble: The Biography, by Juliet Peel was BaBalu Lounge, the Downtown Vancouver nightclub where the cutie crooner performed regularly for two years before becoming famous.

The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House
‘ Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K.

Speidi’s Wedding
‘ Well, it finally happened! Yesterday was the big day! The reality TV event of the season! What I’”‘”‘m sure was for some fans the wedding of the century! I, of course, am talking about the nuptials of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag that took place yesterday at around 5 p.m. in Pasadena. And, I, of…

Hotel Constance from “Café Society”
‘ It is always such a thrill to discover that a beloved restaurant, building, bar or boutique I wasn’t aware was a filming location has actually appeared onscreen.
