    Altadena Town and Country Club

    ‘ As I predicted a few weeks ago, getting engaged has opened up a whole new stalking world for me!  And even though I have known for years now the exact spot where I want to get married, I am fully planning on dragging my fiance from one end of L.A. to the other looking at…

    Kate’s Apartment from “Picture Perfect”

    ‘ I wish I could say I’ve never met a Jennifer Aniston movie I didn’t like, but that is not the case.  In fact, the opposite is more true – I’ve rarely met one I truly did enjoy.  Picture Perfect fits into the “didn’t like” category.  If you haven’t seen the film, this review Paul…

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

    The Mystery of the “Melissa & Joey” House

    ‘ In February, I received a challenge from a fellow stalker named Jill who wanted to know about the home belonging to Melissa Burke (Melissa Joan Hart) on the ABC Family sitcom Melissa & Joey.  The residence looked familiar to her and she was fairly certain that it had been used previously in another series. …

    The Fairmont Miramar Santa Monica

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know about you all, but for the past few Sunday nights I have been absolutely glued to my television set watching Season 2 of the Ryan Seacrest produced Denise Richards: It’”‘”‘s Complicated.   And while I admit that the girl is an absolute train wreck and that her laugh is like fingernails on a chalkboard,…

    The LAPD/FBI Headquarters from “The Fast and the Furious”

    ‘ One location that I am asked about constantly is the mid-century modern-style, circular-shaped home that served as the LAPD/FBI undercover headquarters in the 2001 flick The Fast and the Furious.  And while fellow stalker Gary, of the Seeing Stars website, had briefly written about the Beverly Hills property a couple of years ago after…

    Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    ‘ As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I was not yet even a twinkle in my parents’ eyes on November 22nd, 1963, so I did not experience the tragic events firsthand, but they…
