    Papagayos Mexican Restaurant & Cantina from "Vanderpump Rules"

    ‘ It has been hot in Palm Springs lately.  Granted, it is always hot here, but the past few months have been unseasonably sweltering.  Two weeks ago, my parents, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to chill out a bit by heading to Lake Arrowhead for a short getaway.  Just prior to our trip, the…

  • The Erin Brockovich House

    The Erin Brockovich House

    ‘ Many, many months ago my very good friend and fellow stalker Kerry challenged me to find Julia Roberts‘”‘”‘ house from the Academy Award winning movie Erin Brockovich.  Kerry knew that the home was located somewhere in the Ventura area, but had no idea of its exact whereabouts.  So, I, of course, enlisted the help of Mike,…

    Stalking the 2011 Academy Awards

    ‘ As I have mentioned countless times before on this blog, Oscar Weekend is, hands down, my favorite weekend of the entire year.  Hollywood just seems to come alive during Oscar Weekend and I honestly cannot get enough of it.  And this year was no different.  My Oscar stalking began early this past Saturday morning…

    90210’s Baby Mama’s House

    ‘ While stalking the 90210 house last week, the owner, Jack, told Mike [of MovieShotsLA – as if you didn’”‘”‘t already know by now :)] and me about a few Beverly Hills, 90210 filming locations that we had yet to locate. One location was the home of Brandon’”‘”‘s love interest from the Season 1 episode…

  • JLo Has Left the Building!

    JLo Has Left the Building!

    ‘ OK, so while I know that this is old news and that I have blogged about this location once before, I just had to do a little post on JLo’”‘”‘s (former) restaurant, Madres. Way back in early July, I dragged my boyfriend out to Madre’”‘”‘s to grab a bite to eat as this stalker…

  • Dirty Dancing: The Limited Keepsake Edition DVD

    Dirty Dancing: The Limited Keepsake Edition DVD

    ‘ Well, I unfortunately do not have a new blog to post for today and it is all the Grim Cheaper’s fault!  You see, on Christmas Eve morning he gifted me with an early Christmas present – the Blu-ray DVD of Dirty Dancing: The Limited Keepsake Edition, which contains hours upon hours of extras including…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel

    ‘ One of my favorite places to visit in all of LA is the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, located in Downtown Los Angeles. The hotel is also a favorite of film producers and it has been used in more productions than I can blog about. The hotel was built in 1923 and at the time was…

  • Kurt Cobain’s Former House

    Kurt Cobain’s Former House

    ‘ While visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry took me to stalk a location that, at first, I actually wasn’t all that interested in seeing – the Seattle-area home where Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain passed away on April 5, 1994.  I’d never really been into Kurt Cobain…

  • Wokcano from “Get Shorty”

    Wokcano from “Get Shorty”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called to let me know that he had just discovered that the iconic scene from Get Shorty in which loan-shark-turned-movie-producer Chili Palmer (John Travolta) threw a henchman named Bear (James Gandolfini) down a flight of stairs had been lensed at a restaurant named Abiquiu (now Wokcano)…

  • Echo Park

    Echo Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since June 2012, when I wrote my post about MacArthur Park from New Girl (which you can read here), was the similar-looking Echo Park in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.  Sadly though, my efforts were thwarted for over a year due to an extensive restoration project…
