  • A Visit with My Grandma

    A Visit with My Grandma

    ‘ My grandma is currently in town for a visit, so I will probably not be able to post a new column until later in the week as I will be spending time with her.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a great few days! ‘

  • #Fail!

    #Fail!

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I found out, thanks to my friend Marie, that the love of my life, Mr. Michael Buble, would be in town on May 10th to sing at a benefit concert at the Hollywood Palladium.  So yesterday morning I headed out to Sunset Boulevard bright and early, armed with the…

    Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance” – An Update

    ‘ Typically, when a vacant space is built out for a production, it is dismantled as soon as filming wraps – though sometimes stranger things, ahem, do happen.  Take Gwinnett Place, for instance.  A wing of the largely deserted Duluth, Georgia shopping center was transformed (with breathtaking attention to detail, I might add) into Hawkins,…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 –…

  • Beverly Hills, 90291

    Beverly Hills, 90291

    ‘ A few weeks back while I was out stalking the Californication house, Mike (from MovieShotsLA) and I set out on a mission to find Kelly Taylor‘”‘”‘s house from the new 90210 series. I had been searching for the house for quite some time and on this particular day I called Mike at work (poor…

  • David Santiago’s House from “Post Grad”

    David Santiago’s House from “Post Grad”

    ‘ Unfortunately, this stalker is currently suffering from a bad cold (which, for some reason, always seems to happen to me right before the holidays) and thanks to the fact that I cannot breath out of my nose and have taken copious amounts of NyQuil, I am feeling just a wee bit out of it…

  • Our Lady of Solitude Church from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Our Lady of Solitude Church from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Another Palm Springs’ Behind the Candelabra location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked recently was Our Lady of Solitude Church, where the funeral for Liberace (Michael Douglas) was held in the recently-aired HBO biopic.  This locale was especially interesting because in a case of art imitating life, it was where the flamboyant pianist’s…

  • The Chaplin Court Apartment Complex

    The Chaplin Court Apartment Complex

    ‘ While doing research on the Sierra Bonita apartments from the 2001 thriller Mulholland Drive, which I blogged about back in October, I came across a mention of an absolutely adorable courtyard apartment complex in Hollywood about which legends abound. The complex is known by quite a few different monikers across the web, including Chaplin…

  • Tom’s Bistro from “Parks and Recreation”

    Tom’s Bistro from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I asked fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, to assist me in finding Tom’s Bistro from fave show Parks and Recreation.  It took him less than a minute to track the place down (thanks to this April 25th tweet).  As it turns out, a Hollywood…

  • The Cooper House from “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”

    The Cooper House from “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”

    ‘ Sometimes I become obsessed with a location because I love the movie that it was featured in.  Other times I just like the look of a particular place and am desperate to see it in person.  And other times still I read something about a filming site that completely transfixes me despite the fact…
