  • The “Joey” Apartment Building

    The “Joey” Apartment Building

    ‘ For quite a while now I have been begging Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to locate the apartment building where Joey Tribbiani lived with his nephew, Michael, on the Friends  spin-off Joey.   So, imagine my surprise when I came across the address randomly in The Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book.   In the book, the address is listed as…

  • Sloane’s House from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    Sloane’s House from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    ‘ Once the pizza parlor from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off had been found, my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, starting hunting for the home belonging to Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara) – one of the last unknown locations from the 1986 comedy.  We had known for a while, thanks to a helpful…

    Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.  So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

    The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    ‘ Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons…

  • The Pioneer Saloon

    The Pioneer Saloon

    ‘ There’s only one thing I love more than stalking film locations and that’s stalking film locations that have a history.  On our way out of Las Vegas last week, the Grim Cheaper and I visited a watering hole that has quite a storied one.  The Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, which has been deemed Southern…

  • Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”

    Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”

    ‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were stalking in Downtown Piru this past Saturday, the super-nice owner of Poncho’s Place, the restaurant from True Blood that I blogged about on Tuesday, clued me into the fact that the supposed rural, Iowa-area trailer park where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) lived in the beginning of Burlesque…

  • Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!

    Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!

    ‘ Being that I am completely obsessed with Josh Duhamel, one of my favorite movies of all time is (don’”‘”‘t laugh!) Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! In all honesty, the only thing I don’”‘”‘t like about Win A Date is the ending – Kate Bosworth so should have chosen Josh over Topher! 🙂 Otherwise…

  • Brandi Glanville’s Former House

    Brandi Glanville’s Former House

    ‘ After watching the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I can say that Brandi Glanville is, without a doubt, my favorite cast member.  I absolutely ADORE her.  (I also love Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster.  As for the rest of the Housewives?  Well, to borrow one of my grandma’s catch-phrases, they…

    The New York County Courthouse from “Law and Order”

    ‘ One New York filming location that will look familiar to anyone who passes it – unless they’”‘”‘ve been living under a rock for the past ten years – is the New York County Courthouse. This massive building, with it’”‘”‘s hundred foot wide grand staircase and towering granite colonnade, has been featured in thousands of…
