    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About the Queen Mary

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine blog post – about the 80th birthday of the Queen Mary – on LAMag.com.  My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Late Night!

    Late Night!

    ‘ The GC and I returned home from Palm Springs very late last night due to the fact that we spent the entire day stalking a celebrity golf tournament, so I was unable to complete a blog post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post. Until next time, Happy…

  • Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

    Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I have made no secret of my love for bookstores on this blog, especially in recent weeks (as evidenced here and here).  I literally cannot get enough of them!  So when I spotted a book boutique pop up in the Season 2 episode of Sex and the City titled “The Freak Show,” which I…

  • Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    ‘ One location that I was absolutely desperate to find in time for this year’s Haunted Hollywood posts was the isolated house where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) lived in Scream 3.  I knew from the flick’s Wikipedia page that the residence was located somewhere in the Topanga area, but other than that, I had very…

  • Sam’s Apartment from “A Few Good Men”

    Sam’s Apartment from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ At the risk of saturating my blog with A Few Good Men locations, I’m back today with yet another spot from the 1992 courtroom drama.  (And I still have an additional AFGM locale up my sleeve, which I will be writing about soon.)  Last September, while in Washington, D.C. – where A Few Good…

  • Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ UPDATE – I just drove by this location last week and was shocked to discover that the entire thing had been completely torn down.  The only part of it left standing is the All American Burger sign pictured below.  🙁  A Chipotle restaurant is currently being built in its place. So incredibly sad!  I will leave this post up, though, for those…

  • Haunted Hollywood Tour Takes a Detour to SF!

    Haunted Hollywood Tour Takes a Detour to SF!

    ‘ When I was in high school my good friend Dana and I were absolutely obsessed with a real life haunted house located close to where we lived. Every Friday afternoon like clockwork the two of us would make an after-school pilgrimage to the abandoned house known as the Carolands Mansion before stopping by a…

  • Paramount Studios – The Fifth Time Around

    Paramount Studios – The Fifth Time Around

    ‘ This past Tuesday, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry and her daughter Jen and I embarked on a tour of Paramount Studios in Hollywood.  While it was Kerry and Jen’s very first time visiting the historic lot, it was actually my fifth – I had previously been on three paid tours and one wedding…

  • Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ The second Monster-in-Law location that I set my sights on tracking down this past weekend was the gargantuan mansion owned by Viola Fields (aka Jane Fonda) in the flick.  Once again, fellow stalker Nick had done most of the legwork on this one by discerning that the house was located in Pasadena and had…

  • Riley’s House from “The Client List”

    Riley’s House from “The Client List”

    ‘ As I have mentioned many times before on this site, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, is the biggest Jennifer Love Hewitt fan this side of the Atlantic.  So when the actress’ new show, The Client List, premiered in April, he, of course, immediately set about searching for locations from…
