  • A Day of Celebrity Stalking!  :)

    A Day of Celebrity Stalking! 🙂

    ‘ I spent pretty much all day yesterday doing some stalking of celebrities (one of whom was fellow stalker Owen‘”‘”‘s – of the When Write is Wrong blog – girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt ) with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I was unfortunately unable to write a new post for today. …

  • The Derby from “Book Club”

    The Derby from “Book Club”

    ‘ They say that laughter is the best medicine.  For me, it’s laughter coupled with stalking.  While recovering from a minor surgery last October, I hunkered down in bed for a couple of days watching movies.  The flick that brought the most healing was easily Book Club thanks to both its humor and the fact…

    Barnsdall Art Park from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper is easily the most creative gift-giver I know.  Not only does he find incredibly thoughtful presents, but he always comes up with highly unique ways of presenting them.  I have only ever managed to match his ingenuity on rare occasions – one being Valentine’s Day 2011 when I created a scavenger…

  • Tad Hamilton’s House

    Tad Hamilton’s House

    ‘   Another day, another Tad Hamilton  location!  Last week while searching for the Sex and the City  honeymoon house I ran across aerial views of a Malibu home that looked very familiar to me (pictured above).  It didn’”‘”‘t take long before I realized the house was used as Tad Hamilton’”‘”‘s ultra-modern white mansion in fave movie Win A Date…

    The O’Neill House from "Beverly Hills, 90210"

    ‘ While perusing the article “The Ultimate Guide to Hidden L.A.” in the February 2013 issue of Los Angeles Magazine, I came across a blurb about the O’Neill House in Beverly Hills – one of Southern California’s most unique residences – and recognized the place immediately.  I had seen the property featured in a production…

  • Book Soup from “Bewitched”

    Book Soup from “Bewitched”

    ‘ I am a total bookstore junkie – as I’ve mentioned numerous times on this site.  The rest of the world seems to be leaning in the opposite direction, though.  Still I was shocked – and saddened – to learn of the recent shuttering of the Barnes & Noble on the Third Street Promenade in…

  • Erin’s Florida House from “The Office”

    Erin’s Florida House from “The Office”

    ‘ I would like to start off today’s post by wishing my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna a VERY HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY!  In honor of her big day, I decided that I just had to write about an Office-related locale, because not only it is Lavonna’s very favorite show, but she is actually the…

  • Scully’s Bar from “Parks and Recreation”

    Scully’s Bar from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ I thought I would take a break today from Behind the Candelabra/Liberace locations to blog about a spot that I spent what seems like forever trying to track down – Clancy’s Crab Broiler in Glendale, the Irish-style bar that has appeared a couple of times on fave show Parks and Recreation.  I can’t actually…

  • June’s House from “White Collar”

    June’s House from “White Collar”

    ‘ Sometimes the work and detail that go into creating certain locations absolutely boggles my mind.  Case in point – the house belonging to June (Diahann Carroll) on the USA series White Collar.  The imposing residence is actually an amalgamation of three different places – a spectacular estate on New York’s Upper West Side, the…
