    "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"

    ‘ My title might be a bit in poor taste, but it seems Robert Blake followed just that advice on a fateful day back in May 2001 after dining at Vitello’”‘”‘s Restaurant in Studio City. Although a jury found him not guilty, it is pretty widely assumed that Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley…

    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…

    The “Mr. Deeds” House

    ‘ One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has being dying to stalk for ages now is Winona Ryder‘”‘”‘s red-doored childhood home from the 2002 Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.  Mike had asked for my help in tracking down this location a couple of months ago, but, for some reason, even our two heads working together couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find…

    Soup Burg from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I am the first to admit that I get fixated on the most random things.  A few years back, I became obsessed with identifying the diner featured at the very end of the Season 1 episode of Sex and the City titled “Models and Mortals.”  Though the eatery only appeared briefly, I was consumed…

    The Belasco Theatre

    ‘ During my three day stint as an extra in the Britney Spears movie Crossroads, I happened to make friends with a few of the crew members.  The entire cast and crew of the movie was EXTREMELY nice and, as tends to happen on long shoots, I got to know the people I was working…

    Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know what’”‘”‘s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical…

    Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn recently that both Selfie and A to Z – two of my favorite new shows of the fall season – had been cancelled.  If How to Get Away with Murder winds up on the chopping block next, the networks will be receiving a very strongly worded letter from me! …
