    Bob Hope’s Palm Springs House

    ‘ While in Palm Springs this past weekend, I dragged my boyfriend – ahem, fiance (I swear, I’”‘”‘m never going to get used to saying that!) out to stalk Bob Hope’”‘”‘s former residence, which is located high up on a cliff at the very top of Southridge Drive.  I wasn’”‘”‘t so much interested in seeing the…

  • Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever now is the supposed Minnesota-area equestrian center where a childhood Brenda Walsh (a young actress stood in for my girl Shannen Doherty in this episode, but I, unfortunately, cannot seem to find her name anywhere online) went horseback riding in the…

  • The Cabazon Dinosaurs from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    The Cabazon Dinosaurs from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    ‘ On our way out to visit my parents in Palm Springs two weekends ago, the Grim Cheaper and I made a little stalking stop at the Cabazon Dinosaurs – the two legendary roadside sculptures located just outside of Palm Springs which were featured in the 1985 movie Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, among countless other productions.…

    Latest Discover L.A. Article – About SciFi Locations

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Discover Los Angeles.  I went quite a bit outside of my comfort zone for this one and wrote about unusual landscapes and buildings featured in iconic science fiction movies – a genre I am not a huge fan of.  I think it turned out well…

  • Cup ‘N Cakes Cafe from “Modern Family”

    Cup ‘N Cakes Cafe from “Modern Family”

    ‘ A few weeks back, a fellow stalker who identified himself as “Stepick” left a comment on my Step by Step house post informing me that a coffee shop in nearby South Pasadena had been featured in the recent episode of fave show Modern Family entitled “Moon Landing”.  Unfortunately though, Stepick did not specify exactly…

  • Grandma Bunny’s House from “You Again”

    Grandma Bunny’s House from “You Again”

    ‘ As I mentioned in last Friday’s post, the hunt for Aunt Mitsy’s (aka Kathy Bates’) house from Rumor Has It actually began when fellow stalker Geoff, from the 90210Locations website, asked for some help in tracking down the abode where Grandma Bunny (aka Betty White) lived in the 2010 flick You Again.  I immediately…

  • The Ohara House – aka Miles’ House from “The Holiday”

    The Ohara House – aka Miles’ House from “The Holiday”

    ‘ One location that my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna suggested that I blog about during my Christmas-themed stalking week was the modernist abode where Miles (aka Jack Black) lived in the 2006 Nancy-Meyers-directed flick The Holiday.  Ironically enough, just a few days after my conversation with Lavonna, my mom and I happened to catch The…

  • Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the house where Joan Crawford (aka Faye Dunaway) lived in Mommie Dearest, I have become just a wee-bit obsessed with the 1981 film as well as the 1978 autobiography of Joan’s daughter, Christina Crawford, on which it was based.  The book is a fabulous, fabulous read, by…

  • The Knickerbocker Hotel

    The Knickerbocker Hotel

    ‘ I don’t think there is any property in Los Angeles, perhaps the world, that has seen as much glamour and as much tragedy as the former Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood.  Today, the Renaissance Revival/Beau Arts-style structure, which was once dubbed “The Hotel to the Stars,” serves as a retirement home.  And oh, if those…

  • Madame Tussauds Hollywood

    Madame Tussauds Hollywood

    ‘ This past weekend, while out stalking in Hollywood, my fiance and I walked right past the new Madame Tussauds wax museum and I just about had a total meltdown right there on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard!  The museum, which was supposed to open to the public on August 1st, was hosting a special preview event when we walked…
