My Picture on “SNL” and Hanging Out With Michael Vartan!
‘ This past Saturday was an incredibly lucky and, as my best friend later described, celebrity-fueled day for me. My family, the Grim Cheaper, and I had headed down to San Diego for the weekend to do some relaxing after the stress of my parent’s recent move. While we were walking around Coronado Island on…

Whirlwind Weekend
‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday. The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement. We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s. For the evening, one of…

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”
‘ Sorry to have been a bit M.I.A. lately – my personal life has been rather hectic. This week will be a little light on columns, too, as both of my parents have doctor appointments in L.A. that I have to take them, too. So please bear with me. And now, on with the…

The Pierre Hotel’s Grand Ballroom from “Trainwreck”
‘ I know I am in the minority when I say that I don’t think Amy Schumer is funny. And it’s not for lack of trying on my part. I first learned of the comedian when she appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette and found her schtick to be a bit annoying. Despite…

The Yellow Vase Café from “90210”
‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over a year now is the yellow-hued coffee shop where Navid Shirazi (aka Michael Steger) ran into ex-girlfriend Adrianna Tate-Duncan (aka Jessica Lowndes) in the Season 2 episode of fave show 90210 titled “Another Another Chance”. I spent far more hours searching for…

The Pioneer Saloon
‘ There’s only one thing I love more than stalking film locations and that’s stalking film locations that have a history. On our way out of Las Vegas last week, the Grim Cheaper and I visited a watering hole that has quite a storied one. The Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, which has been deemed Southern…
