    Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…

  • The Belasco Theatre

    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…

  • The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area locale that fellow stalker/location scout Scott Trimble, of the STS Locations website, helped me to find recently was the residence where Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) good friend/”Witness #11”, Susan Hartunian (aka Dominique Swain), lived with her utterly clueless and apathetic mother, Tiffany Hartunian (aka ER’s Alex Kingston), in the 2006 movie…

  • Liberace’s Valley House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Liberace’s Valley House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ As I mentioned last month in my post about Sherman Way Adult Books from Behind the Candelabra (which you can read here), back in May fellow stalker E.J., of the Movieland Directory website, challenged me to find several locales from the HBO biopic including the L.A.-area home belonging to Liberace (Michael Douglas).  It was…

    ‘ I am taking a break from my wedding blogging once again today in order to write about a locale that I stalked this past Thursday evening while on my way to dinner in Downtown Los Angeles – the fictional Buckland Auction House where Prue Halliwell (aka my girl Shannen Doherty) worked during the first…

  • Pasadena Central Library from “Foul Play”

    Pasadena Central Library from “Foul Play”

    ‘ It’s my favorite day of the year!  No, it’s not Halloween already – it’s October 1st, which marks the start of my annual Haunted Hollywood postings and the beginning of the Halloween season (well, it marks the latter for most people, anyway – I started decorating for the holiday weeks ago!).  To kick things…

  • Commerce Restaurant

    Commerce Restaurant

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in New York this past month was a little restaurant named Commerce which appeared in the very last episode of fave show Sex and the City.  Well, truth be told, at the time SATC was filmed, the restaurant was known as Grange…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

  • The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    ‘ While visiting L.A. last week, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed in Marina del Rey.  One late afternoon, during a waterfront stroll, we found ourselves passing by a unique eatery that had long been on my To-Stalk List.  Situated on the bustling Admiralty Way amongst upscale hotels and high-rise apartment buildings, the nautical-themed The…

  • The Vera Wang Flagship Salon

    The Vera Wang Flagship Salon

    ‘ While I realize that today should really be the start of my annual, month long “Haunted Hollywood” theme, since I am on a plane right now headed to Manhattan, I decided to write a post about New York, my favorite city in the world, instead.  🙂  And since I’”‘”‘ve had weddings on the brain ever since…
