    Big Brother

    ‘ Last summer I was COMPLETELY obsessed with the reality show Big Brother 8 – like absolutely on-the-edge-of-my-seat hooked on the show! I loved me some Dick and Danielle! So when I found out that the Big Brother soundstage was located on the CBS Studio Center lot in Studio City and that it could actually…

  • The L.A. Hotel Downtown from “How to Get Away with Murder”

    The L.A. Hotel Downtown from “How to Get Away with Murder”

    ‘ UPDATE – This hotel is now known as “The L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown.” Sometimes while viewing a television show or movie, I become absolutely transfixed by a location.  So much so that I have to pause what I’m watching and track down the locale right then and there.  It happens quite often actually –…

    Helen Bernstein High School – The New William McKinley High from “Glee”

    ‘ A little birdie recently told me that fave show Glee was no longer filming on location at Juan Cabrillo High School in Long Beach – a locale which I blogged about back in January of this year – and that producers had found a new school to stand in for the fictional William McKinley…

    The 13 Going On 30 Bar

    ‘ Those of you who read my blog regularly know that the restaurant where Jennifer Garner hit on the 13-year-old boy in fave movie 13 Going On 30  has long been a thorn in my side.  For whatever reason, it seems that no matter how hard I tried or how badly I wanted to stalk…

  • Lucille’s House from “Bye Bye Love”

    Lucille’s House from “Bye Bye Love”

    ‘ Another location that fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had on his extensively detailed list of places to stalk during our day together in L.A. this past July (and there were over 30 locales on that list, by the way; as I said it was quite extensive!) was the residence where Lucille (aka…

  • Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ After stalking the downtown Orange spot where the That Thing You Do! mailbox scene was filmed (which I blogged about yesterday), I dragged the Grim Cheaper just a few feet south to stalk the storefront that was used as Patterson’s Appliances, drummer Guy Patterson’s (Tom Everett Scott) family’s shop, in the 1996 flick.  Thank…

  • The “Just Married” Mansion

    The “Just Married” Mansion

    ‘ Since we are currently knee-deep in the middle of wedding planning, a few weeks ago my fiancé and I decided to sit down and finally watch the 2003 movie Just Married for the very first time.  And I have to say that I absolutely LOVED it!  While watching it, though, I became obsessed with…

  • Hilton Garden Inn Arcadia from “Veep”

    Hilton Garden Inn Arcadia from “Veep”

    ‘ It has been said that everyone has their own special superpower.  I don’t know if that is true or not, but if so, mine is definitely my brain’s ability to take note of small, seemingly insignificant and rather trivial details, and commit them to memory, completely of its own volition.  Case in point –…

  • The British Consulate from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    The British Consulate from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ Much of my free time as of late has been spent tracking down missing locations from Jumpin’ Jack Flash.  Ever since writing my post on the apartment where Terry Dolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) lived in the 1986 comedy, I have been just a wee bit consumed with finding other spots featured in the flick.  So…

  • Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    ‘ My grandma, who loves reading Hollywood biographies just as much as I do, recently gifted me with a book about the life of legendary film idol Lana Turner, authored by the star’s only daughter, Cheryl Crane.  The ginormous tome, which must weigh at least twenty pounds (not kidding!), is named LANA: The Memories, the…
