  • Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    ‘ At one point last year, I mentioned that I would occasionally be blogging about stalk-worthy locales that do not have a film connection.  Today’s post chronicles one of those places.  A few months ago, fellow stalkers Becky and Anushika told me about Alfred Coffee & Kitchen, a quaint West Hollywood café that they thought…

  • The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    ‘ I am not a Breaking Bad fan.  I know, I know – I am in the minority on this one.  The Grim Cheaper and I started to watch the series, which ran on AMC from 2008 through 2013, and absolutely LOVED the first two episodes.  They were hilarious.  Then the show seemed to take…

  • Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations.  Oddly though, despite the legions of websites and books with sections dedicated to its locales, I have yet to see identified the Rodeo Drive shop where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) spent an “obscene…

  • Out of Office for a Couple Days

    Out of Office for a Couple Days

    ‘ A good friend is currently in town for a brief visit, so I am taking a couple days off from blogging.  I expect to be back on Friday, so until then . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

  • I Have Got to Get Me One of These!

    I Have Got to Get Me One of These!

    ‘ While driving this weekend, I happened to pass by this interesting contraption and just had to stop and take a pic! LOL! Apparently “Dan, the Handyman” is willing to rent out his boom-lift to paparazzi for picture taking at those hard-to-stalk locations. This device would have come in handy when I stalked Brad and…

  • The Weaver House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The Weaver House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, on the recommendation of my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. and I can honestly say that it was one of the best movies I have seen all year.  In fact, I might even go so far…

  • Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever now is the supposed Minnesota-area equestrian center where a childhood Brenda Walsh (a young actress stood in for my girl Shannen Doherty in this episode, but I, unfortunately, cannot seem to find her name anywhere online) went horseback riding in the…

  • Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    ‘ It is always such a thrill to discover that a beloved restaurant, building, bar or boutique I wasn’t aware was a filming location has actually appeared onscreen.  Such was the case with Hotel Constance, one of my favorite Pasadena-area lodgings.  You’ve seen me talk about the place before in My Guide to L.A. –…

  • The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    ‘ I love bookstores – and books.  Actual books, not the digitized versions.  You will never catch me reading on a Kindle.  I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell.  I love, love, love the smell of books.  The Grim Cheaper always makes…

  • Studio Gate 3 from the “Feud” “Hollywood Drive” Promo

    Studio Gate 3 from the “Feud” “Hollywood Drive” Promo

    ‘ It will probably come as a shock to most readers that I don’t know a lot about Old Hollywood.  Sure, I am well-versed in all things Marilyn Monroe and have stalked my fair share of noir locations, but on the whole, I’d say I’m pretty lacking in knowledge about the Tinseltown of yesteryear.  I…
