    Lauren and Jason’s Malibu Rental from “The Hills”

    ‘ Way back in June 2010, a fellow stalker named Nick emailed me to let me know he had tracked down the Malibu beach house that Lauren Conrad and her then boyfriend Jason Wahler leased for the summer in the Season 1 episode of The Hills titled “Timing Is Everything.”  And while the location was…

    Happy Veterans Day

    ‘ I would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you today to all who have served this great country of ours, including my grandfather (that’s him above during World War II), my dad, my uncle, my father-in-law, my cousin, my brother-in-law, my grandfather-in-law, and several of my friends.  I hope we all take a…

  • Never Never Land

    Never Never Land

    ‘ Now, even though he has some issues – I do love me some MJ. So I was quite distressed to find out last weekend that MJ’”‘”‘s ranch, Neverland, is in a state of disarray and might be sold and torn down. I just happened to be spending a couple of days in Santa Barbara, so…

  • Flash Forward!

    Flash Forward!

    ‘ This past weekend, while out doing some stalking, my boyfriend and I happened upon a rather large film shoot that shut down an entire block in Downtown Los Angeles.  So, of course, we just had to pull the car over to find out what was being filmed.  🙂  Turns out it was the pilot episode of a…

  • Westfield Fashion Square Mall from “The Office”

    Westfield Fashion Square Mall from “The Office”

    ‘ One location that my good friend, fellow stalker Lavonna, asked me to track down eons ago was the shopping center that was featured in the Season 3 episode of fave show The Office titled “Women’s Appreciation”.  Because the series is taped in Van Nuys, I figured that the mall was located somewhere in the…

    A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    ‘ Many moons ago, shortly after we first met, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to a place that quickly became one of my very favorite “only in L.A.” spots –  a residential street from which the Universal Studios War of the Worlds plane crash set is visible.  And even though I always make it a…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A. Story…

  • Halloween 2014

    Halloween 2014

    ‘ I do realize that it is November 4th and that the Halloween season has, by now, sadly ended, but you are going to have to bear with me for a couple of more days because I still have two more Haunted Hollywood posts to write.  This Halloween was one for the record books!  Per…

  • 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…

  • The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    ‘ In February (on what turned out to be an exorbitantly crowded day), the Grim Cheaper and I visited The Happiest Place on Earth with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and her husband, Keith Coogan.   Since I had just recently watched – and fallen in love with – Saving Mr. Banks, I…
