    Bella’s Mom’s House from “Twilight”

    ‘ Well, it took me long enough, but on Monday afternoon I finally decided to crawl out from that rock I’ve been living under for the past year by sitting down to watch the movie that the rest of the world has long been obsessed with – Twilight.    Yes, it’s true – while it seems…

  • South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    ‘ Finding today’s location had me feeling like a complete moron.  Though my obsession with Revenge has waned in recent months (I have only watched three episodes from the current season), I remained hell-bent on tracking down the Colonial-style structure used in establishing shots of the South Fork Inn on the series.  I figured the…

  • The Stuart at Sierra Madre Villa from “American Woman”

    The Stuart at Sierra Madre Villa from “American Woman”

    ‘ I’m taking a break from my regularly scheduled Big Little Lies reporting today to bring you a post about one of my favorite buildings in all of Pasadena – The Stuart at Sierra Madre Villa.  I’ve written about the Mid-Century Modern apartment complex and its cameo in That Thing You Do! before – way…

  • Hacienda Palomino – Michael Jackson’s Former Las Vegas House

    Hacienda Palomino – Michael Jackson’s Former Las Vegas House

    ‘ I am not really that into stalking celebrity homes (though I have quite a few of them on my site), the main reason being that typically little else besides a gate can be seen from the road.  There are some exceptions, though.  If there is a star I really like, or if I read…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    ‘ I love coffee pretty much more than life itself, but very rarely do I visit independent coffee houses.  I am all about my Starbucks.  I know, I know, true java aficionados are probably shaking their heads right now.  But I like consistency – I like knowing that I can go into any Starbucks in…

  • The “You, Me and Dupree” House

    The “You, Me and Dupree” House

    ‘ A couple of years ago, long before I had a blog to write, I set out to find the house. While I was a big fan of , the real reason behind my mission actually had nothing to do with that movie. What I was actually hoping to find was Jenna Rink’”‘”‘s pink dream…

  • The Smith Estate from “Insidious: Chapter 2”

    The Smith Estate from “Insidious: Chapter 2”

    ‘ Considering I’ve been stalking full-time for close to a decade and annually covering Haunted Hollywood locales for just about as long, you’d think I’d have the market on spooky sites cornered by now.  That is definitely not the case, though.  I am continuously discovering new-to-me spots, scary and otherwise, which speaks more to the…

  • The World’s Most Haunted House

    The World’s Most Haunted House

    ‘ I’ve mentioned before that my good friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, and I have an almost eerie synchronicity. So what happened this past Monday shouldn’t have surprised me. Last October, he informed me that there is a pad that has been dubbed “the world’s most haunted house” located in the…

  • Loretta Young’s Palm Springs House

    Loretta Young’s Palm Springs House

    ‘ While doing research on the Playa del Rey house where Judy Lewis (secret love child of Loretta Young and Clark Gable) was born (which I blogged about here), I came across a November 2011 The New York Times article about Lewis’ recent death which stated that the actress/psychotherapist was finally told the true story…

  • The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Hollywood loves a redux.  So do I, apparently, because here I am yet again with yet another location re-do!  (For those who missed it, I penned a second post on the Simpson family home from She’s Out of Control last week.)  Today’s blog is actually my third go-around with this particular spot (you can…
