    Britney Spears’ Former Santa Monica Condo

    ‘ Got a from Kayli today, who challenged me to find Britney Spears’”‘”‘ house. Since Britney’”‘”‘s current home is located far from public view in a gated community, I thought I’”‘”‘d instead blog about a past residence of Ms. Spears. While Brit did not call this condo home during any of her recent mental breakdowns,…

    Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace from “Ingrid Goes West”

    ‘ Ingrid Goes West is perhaps the most topically poignant movie I’ve ever seen!  Centering around Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza), a fragile young woman who picks up and moves from Pennsylvania to L.A. in the hopes of ingratiating herself into the life of influencer Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen), the 2017 black comedy highlights the pitfalls…

    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…

    Oscar Weekend 2013

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in L.A. doing some pre-Oscar stalking and while I did not have as much luck with celebrity photos this year as I have in years past, my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, did.  I think she got about 55 celeb pics in total!  I really…

    The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

    ‘ One Palm-Springs-area hotel that I have long wanted to vacation at – not because it is a filming location, but because it is just simply beautiful – is the Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells.  The Grim Cheaper and I ate dinner at the resort once upon a time many years back and…

    Griffith Park’s Pote Field from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked way back in early June (shortly before we stalked the legendary Perino’s restaurant, which I blogged about yesterday) was Pote Field in Griffith Park, which was featured in the closing scene of one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time – 1996’s Jerry Maguire. …

    Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally home from a blissful two weeks in Switzerland. It was so hard to leave my best friend and his amazing family (pictured above) and the beauty of their country – especially being that when we returned to Palm Springs, temperatures were around 122 degrees! I will be…

    Diane’s House from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ I have been on a major Say Anything . . . kick lately thanks to a soon-to-be published post I recently wrote for Discover Los Angeles.  While doing research for the article, I became a bit fixated on tracking down an unknown location from the 1989 romcom (one that I still have yet to…

    The New Peach Pit

    ‘ Over the years there have been several locations used around LA for the filming of the Peach Pit on my fave TV show, Beverly Hills, 90210. And now there is one more location to add to the already long list. My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA gave me the scoop on last week’”‘”‘s filming…
