  • Kyle Richards’ Former Palm Springs House

    Kyle Richards’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ Last weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I once again headed out to Palm Springs for a little weekend getaway and while there I, of course, just had to drag him out to stalk the vacation home formerly belonging to Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, which was featured in the Season 1 episode…

  • The Adamson House from “You”

    The Adamson House from “You”

    ‘ The second season of You had me feeling like an inadequate Angelino!  (Yes, even though I now live in Palm Springs, I still consider myself an L.A. denizen.)  In episode 6, “Farewell, My Bunny,” Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and her friends teach Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) about Los Angeles’ “seven totems,” which, once seen,…

    Latest “L.A.” Mag Post – Norms Restaurant

    ‘ Be sure to read my latest Los Angeles magazine post here – about Norms restaurant from Drag Me to Hell.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    ‘ Last October, while I was knee-deep in my Haunted Hollywood postings, fellow stalker/prolific author E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, emailed me to let me know about his book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites: Sixteen Driving Tours with Directions and the Full Story, from Tallulah Bankhead to River Phoenix, which he thought I might…

  • The 101 Coffee Shop from “Swingers”

    The 101 Coffee Shop from “Swingers”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since moving to Los Angeles over a decade ago, but didn’t because there were numerous erroneous reports floating around online which stated that the place had since closed down, was the 101 Coffee Shop which appeared in the 1996 movie Swingers.  It wasn’t until Mike, from…

  • 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…

  • Coachella 2019

    Coachella 2019

    ‘ Longtime readers of this site know that my musical tastes do not run the gamut.  As I’ve said many times, if it is not sung by Britney Spears, Michael Bublé or Michael Jackson, or was produced in any decade other than the ‘80s, odds are I don’t know it.  But when I was offered…

  • Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    ‘ The recent network television cancellations left me reeling.  Four – yes, four – of my favorite shows – Lucifer, Scorpion, Timeless and Brooklyn Nine-Nine – were given the ax.  Though the latter was promptly rescued, I am still waiting for the #savescorpion, #savelucifer and #savetimeless cries to be heard.  If not, the Grim Cheaper…

  • The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    ‘ One location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk last weekend while vacationing in Palm Springs was the supposed-Las-Vegas, Nevada-area residence where Reuben Tishkoff (aka Elliot Gould) lived in the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.  I had absolutely fallen in love with the mid-century-modern-style residence while first watching the film just about…
