  • The “People Like Us” Apartment Building

    The “People Like Us” Apartment Building

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park (one of my very favorite shopping centers) to do some major Christmas shopping. And “since we were in the area” (cough, cough), I asked if we could make a little stalking stop beforehand at the apartment building where…

    George Clooney’s Former Digs

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to my new favorite book Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten, I was able to stalk George Clooney‘”‘”‘s former Studio City house.  Now, to be completely honest, I am not a big fan of George Clooney.  I’”‘”‘ll admit that he’”‘”‘s OK-looking, but for some reason he just doesn’”‘”‘t do it…

  • Hoose Library of Philosophy from “What Women Want”

    Hoose Library of Philosophy from “What Women Want”

    ‘ Those who were impressed by Doheny Memorial Library from Matilda (which I blogged about last November), wait ‘til you get a load of today’s locale!  It’s yet another stunning athenaeum on the University of Southern California campus.  Named the Hoose Library of Philosophy, it boasts some of the most remarkable architecture I have ever…

  • Dwight’s Bar from “Burlesque”

    Dwight’s Bar from “Burlesque”

    ‘ One Burlesque filming location that I had been trying to track down for what seems like forever now was Dwight’s Bar, which was featured in the movie’s opening scene as the supposed small-town, Iowa-area watering hole where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) worked.  Even though the bar only appeared in one very brief, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it establishing…

  • The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    ‘ Friends often refer to me as a “foamer,” i.e. a person who foams at the mouth over all things Disney.  Apparently, I am not a very good one, though, because up until just recently I had no clue that for the past thirteen years the Disney Store has been headquartered at the Royal Laundry…

  • The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

    The Pink House from “13 Going On 30”

    ‘ I must bow down right now to Mike over at as yesterday he found a house that I have spent many unsuccessful hours over the past two years looking for – Jenna’”‘”‘s pink dream house from the last scene of my fave movie Mike said he had a hunch about the area the home…

  • More Halloween!

    More Halloween!

    ‘ Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had…

  • Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"

    Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"

    ‘ On The Hills, Heidi supposedly works at the event planning company Bolthouse Productions. I say “supposedly” not because I doubt that she actually works there, but because I doubt that she actually does any work. It seems the only two things Heidi ever does while at “work” are gossip with various co-workers about her…

  • Mike and Carol Brady’s Homes from the Pilot Episode of “The Brady Bunch”

    Mike and Carol Brady’s Homes from the Pilot Episode of “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ Earlier this week while perusing through fellow stalker Chas’ website, ItsFilmedThere, I came across his Brady Bunch page which details numerous filming locations from the beloved 1970s series and, let me tell you, I almost fell off my chair!  Especially when I saw that he not only had listed the location of the house…
