    My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio

    ‘ Last month, I headed out to the Skylark Hotel in Palm Springs to meet with George Smart, of the US Modernist website, and record a bit for his popular podcast, US Modernist Radio.  While sitting by the pool in the Skylark’s fabulously retro courtyard (which could not have felt more appropriate), George and I…

    The “Object of My Affection” House

    ‘ The Object of My Affection is my least favorite of all the Jennifer Aniston movies. I remember watching it in college and being thoroughly disappointed. I mean, come on, it has to be one of the crappiest movies ever made. But if we’”‘”‘re being honest here, has she ever made a good one? LOL…

  • The “Crossroads” Motel

    The “Crossroads” Motel

    ‘ One location that I have been trying to track down for what seems like ages now is the supposed Tucson, Arizona-area motel where Ben (aka Anson Mount) played the song “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” for Lucy (aka Britney Spears) in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  In the flick, Ben takes Lucy…

    Halloween 2012 at Dick Van Dyke’s House

    ‘ As I have mentioned countless times before, this stalker is just a wee bit obsessed with the movie Burlesque.  Upon first seeing the flick in 2010, I fell head-over-heels in love with the “But I Am a Good Girl” number (which you can watch by clicking above) and Ali’s (Christina Aguilera’s) feathered costume, and…

    Joe and Love’s New House from “You”

    ‘ I apologize to those who don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook for not posting updates about my dad here.  He was finally moved out of the ICU a couple of days ago, thank God, and is currently progressing in the right direction.  Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi and cell signal in the ICU were nil,…

  • Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This season of Modern Family brought to life a storyline that is basically my worst fear – nightmare neighbors.  Poor Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen) had their tranquility disturbed in the episode titled “Won’t You Be Our Neighbor” when loudmouth medicinal marijuana dealer Ronnie LaFontaine (Steve Zahn), his wife, Amber (Andrea…

    Ann’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that has been waiting patiently in my stalking backlog is the block of Melrose Avenue where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) walked and talked after attending a fundraiser for a private art museum in the 1991 flick.  Unfortunately though, because the movie was lensed over…

    Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    ‘ When I first moved to Los Angeles about eight years ago, one of the very first items on my stalking agenda was to visit the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Headquarters. I wanted to sign up for their annual Rose Court Pageant just like Donna Martin did in the Season 6 episode of 90210 entitled…
