    sidebar at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel

    ‘ Since I am now 100% on Team Speidi, this weekend I just had to drag my boyfriend out to sidebar, the Beverly Hills lounge where the reality TV duo hosted one of their two wedding receptions.  Sidebar, which is spelled with a lowercase “s”, is located  inside of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel – aka the Pretty Woman  hotel – …

  • The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    ‘ Today’s location is one that I have actually already once blogged about – way back in April of 2008 – but because it was a fairly short write-up and because I somehow missed one very pertinent detail when reporting on the place, I decided that it was most-definitely worthy of a re-post.  The location? …

    The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Torrance – South Bay from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ I do not think O.J. Simpson is guilty.  I know how incendiary that statement is and, up until a couple of years ago, had I heard it come out of someone else’s mouth I would have found the sentiment absurd.  But in November 2012 I read O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It,…

    I Have Got to Get Me One of These!

    ‘ While driving this weekend, I happened to pass by this interesting contraption and just had to stop and take a pic! LOL! Apparently “Dan, the Handyman” is willing to rent out his boom-lift to paparazzi for picture taking at those hard-to-stalk locations. This device would have come in handy when I stalked Brad and…

  • The “Larry Crowne” Apartment Building

    The “Larry Crowne” Apartment Building

    ‘ Two additional Larry Crowne filming locations that I stalked this past weekend were Talia’s, the vintage clothing store owned by Talia Francesco (aka the adorable Gugu Mbatha-Raw), and the apartment building where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) lived at the very end of the flick, both of which are housed inside of the same…

  • El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last April, in the midst of my slightly-obsessive L.A. Story location-finding mission, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down a couple of the movie’s crew members for me, one of whom was extremely helpful.  After he assisted us in the finding the crash intersection from the flick, I inquired…

  • Little Dom’s Restaurant from “90210”

    Little Dom’s Restaurant from “90210”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Los Feliz to stalk Little Dom’s – an Italian eatery owned by Warner Ebbink and Brandon Boudet of the Eat Heavy Restaurant Group, the very same team that was responsible for founding the 101 Coffee Shop that I blogged about yesterday.  The GC…

    Jim Henson Studios – Where “We Are The World” Was Recorded

    ‘ One year ago today the world said good-bye to a man who was arguably the greatest music legend who ever lived – the irreplaceable King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  In some ways, it feels as if more than a decade has passed since June 25th of last year when Michael passed way, yet in…

  • 7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ We all have those movie scenes – the ones so dramatic, so full of romance or even so disturbing (like this, for example) that, for better or worse, they remain ingrained in our memories.  Two of my favorites happen to be from the same film and, oddly, it’s a film I don’t even like…

    Speidi’s Wedding

    ‘ Well, it finally happened!   Yesterday was the big day!  The reality TV event of the season!  What I’”‘”‘m sure was for some fans the wedding of the century!   I, of course, am talking about the nuptials of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag that took place yesterday at around 5 p.m. in Pasadena.  And, I, of…
