  • Coachella 2019

    Coachella 2019

    ‘ Longtime readers of this site know that my musical tastes do not run the gamut.  As I’ve said many times, if it is not sung by Britney Spears, Michael Bublé or Michael Jackson, or was produced in any decade other than the ‘80s, odds are I don’t know it.  But when I was offered…

  • Vivian’s Millennium Café

    Vivian’s Millennium Café

    ‘ I have to say that while I have always been a pretty big fan of Leah Remini (hello, Saved by the Bell! Who’s the Boss?! Living Dolls!), I don’t particularly love her reality show, Leah Remini: It’s All Relative.  I was fascinated to learn through watching it, though, that Leah’s husband, mother, and stepfather…

  • The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Grocery Store

    The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Grocery Store

    ‘ One movie location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever is the L.A. area grocery store that stood in for the Fraziers Bottom Piggly Wiggly Supermarket in fave romantic comedy Win A Date With Tad Hamilton.   Josh Duhamel!  Sigh! 🙂   I was so obsessed with finding this location, in fact, that a…

  • Third Edition from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    Third Edition from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, Rob Lowe posted an Instagram selfie taken in Georgetown with the caption “Return to the scene of the crime.  #StElmosFire,” and I was instantly reminded that I had stalked some locations from the seminal 1985 drama while back east in April 2016.  I learned about the locales thanks to…

  • The “Decisions” Movie Premiere and Celebration of Corey Haim’s Life

    The “Decisions” Movie Premiere and Celebration of Corey Haim’s Life

    ‘ This past Sunday night, fellow celebrity stalker and photo-bug extraordinaire Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, invited me to do some stalking of the premiere of Corey Haim’s final movie, Decisions, at the Writers Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills.  I could NOT have been more excited to attend because, as I have mentioned…

  • Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Location hunts can take some strange, circuitous paths.  Case in point – during my laborious, years-long search for the condo where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1996 classic of the same name, I headed down a fairly deep rabbit hole in an attempt to identify the onetime beach home of actress Suzanne…

  • Will Ferrell’s Streaking Scene

    Will Ferrell’s Streaking Scene

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out stalking in Montrose, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to pinpoint the exact location where Will Ferrell went streaking in the 2003 movie Old School.   Although it’”‘”‘s fairly common location knowledge that the streaking scene took place on Honolulu Avenue in the City of Montrose, I actually first heard that information…

  • The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ While perusing through my extensive backlog of stalking photographs recently, I realized that there were a few L.A. Story locales that I had yet to blog about, one of which was the former site of KCET Studios in Los Feliz, where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) worked in the 1991 comedy.  I had actually…

  • The Cecil Hotel

    The Cecil Hotel

    ‘ Los Angeles magazine’s The Crime Issue had me absolutely drooling when I received it back in July, especially Steve Erickson’s article “Sleep Tight,” which detailed the bizarre 2013 death of 21-year-old Canadian tourist Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel in downtown L.A.  I was glued to every single word Erickson wrote and, upon finishing…

  • A Day Off For Decorating . . . Fa La La La La La La La La!

    A Day Off For Decorating . . . Fa La La La La La La La La!

    ‘ I, unfortunately, do not have a new blog to post for today as my parents came to town last Thursday evening to help me and the Grim Cheaper purchase and decorate our Christmas tree.  They ended up staying through the rest of the weekend and because we spent most of our time out and…
