    The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited this past weekend while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley was the Union Pacific Railroad Piru Creek Bridge which stood in for the supposed Iowa-area bridge that Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) walked across during the opening scene of Burlesque.  I once again found this…

    My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio

    ‘ I apologize for being MIA the past couple of days.  Both of my parents had surgery last week (my mom’s planned, my dad’s completely unplanned), so things have been hectic to say the least.  My dad was finally released from the hospital yesterday and I am hoping to have a new post up tomorrow,…

    The Old Zoo In Griffith Park

    ‘ Just around the corner from the Griffith Park Merry Go Round, which I blogged about yesterday, is the location of the park’s former zoo – an abandoned site  which is commonly referred to as the Old Zoo or the Old Zoo Picnic Grounds.  I first found out about this location from favorite stalking tome…

  • The “E.T.” House

    The “E.T.” House

    ‘ Although I consider myself somewhat of a master stalker (not as good as fellow stalkers Owen, Mike, from MovieshotsLA, or Chas, from ItsFilmedThere, of course), for whatever reason, up until this past weekend I had yet to visit one of the most famous movie locations of them all – the home where Mary (aka…

  • Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”

    Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ One of my favorite romantic comedies of all time is A Lot Like Love starring Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher – and while I was watching it I absolutely fell in love with the building used as Amanda Peet’”‘”‘s apartment. But as hard as I tried, I couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find this location by…

  • HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    ‘ Today’s location is a special request from my good friends Katie and Lavonna, who, in a group text, both suggested I blog about some sites from The Craft as part of my Haunted Hollywood postings.  Now the 1996 horror flick is not one of my favorites and its locales have been pretty well documented…

  • The “Black-ish” House

    The “Black-ish” House

    ‘ My good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna is obsessed with the show Black-ish.  Von was supposed to fly out to L.A. for a visit along with our friends Kim and Katie this past June, but ended up not being able to.  So in honor of her, during our trip we all went to stalk the home…

  • The “A Lot Like Love” Apartment Building

    The “A Lot Like Love” Apartment Building

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker Geoff, from the 90210locations website, tweeted me to let me know that he had just tracked down the apartment building where Oliver Martin (aka Ashton Kutcher) lived in fave movie A Lot Like Love.  As I have mentioned quite a few times before on this blog, A…

  • Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"

    Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"

    ‘ Back in June, while doing research on the house where Liberace (Michael Douglas) lived in Behind the Candelabra (which I blogged about here), I came across a fabulous production slideshow about the movie on HBO.com.  The slideshow featured behind-the-scenes images of several of the locations used in the biopic and one – the mid-century…

  • Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    ‘ Well, as Vanessa Williams once sang, I definitely “saved the best for last” regarding my Bring It On posts this week.  As you might have already guessed, the BIO filming location I was most excited about stalking was, of course, the ultra-cool, modern-style abode belonging to Kirsten Dunst’s character, Torrance Shipman, in the movie.  Fellow…
