  • The Colony Palms Hotel

    The Colony Palms Hotel

    ‘ Upon first moving to the Desert back in January, the Grim Cheaper’s boss, who also resides in the Coachella Valley, told me about a small Palm Springs-area inn named the Colony Palms Hotel that she thought I might be interested in stalking due to its vast Hollywood history.  For whatever reason, though, I completely…

  • The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    ‘ My knowledge of Elvis Presley is basically limited to the fact that he was a singer (duh!), his 1957 drafting into the army served as the inspiration for the play and movie Bye Bye Birdie, he called a spectacular Tennessee mansion named Graceland home (the manse is the setting of one of my favorite…

  • Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    ‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.”  Talk about an apropos typo!  Today, as we celebrate the birth of the great leader, whose example of compassion and love has proved everlasting, let’s remember to be kind to…

  • Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad

    Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad

    ‘ Monday night’”‘”‘s episode of The Bachelor  was all that RealitySteve  promised it would be – and more!  The show played out pretty much EXACTLY as he said it would and I completely agree with him that the finale’”‘”‘s “shocking twist” was a set-up from the get-go.  Something about Molly’”‘”‘s reaction during the After the Final Rose …

  • Dana’s House from “The Goldbergs”

    Dana’s House from “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ Brenda and Dylan.  Winnie and Kevin.  Rachel and Joey.  Adam and Dana.  All TV couples who didn’t wind up together, but who, in my never-to-be-humble opinion, really should have.  Though, since The Goldbergs is still on the air, I guess there’s still hope for the latter two.  I mean, any romance that starts out…

  • The “Mask” House

    The “Mask” House

    ‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…

  • Taverna Tony

    Taverna Tony

    ‘ This past Saturday afternoon my boyfriend and I met up with my former boss and his wife for some coffee at the Malibu Country Mart – where we sat next to Brian Grazer in the playground area for a good 45 minutes.  But that’”‘”‘s a whole other story.  🙂  After hanging out at the Mart for…

  • Chasen’s Restaurant from “Enemy of the State”

    Chasen’s Restaurant from “Enemy of the State”

    ‘ I grew up about as far removed from Hollywood and the world of show business as you can get.  But somehow I was familiar with Chasen’s, the West Hollywood restaurant that played stomping ground to the Tinseltown elite for close to six decades.  I’m not sure where my knowledge of the famed eatery came…

  • The “Beaches” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches.  And while it had long…

  • Packing, Packing and Packing Some More!

    Packing, Packing and Packing Some More!

    ‘ While I did manage to do a bit of stalking this weekend, most of my time was spent packing up our apartment (we are moving in nine days – yikes!), so I did not have time to write a new post for today. But I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow with a whole new…
