  • The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    ‘ There are some spots in L.A. that I miss more than others.  The Old Place pretty much tops that list.  I first stalked the rustic eatery, tucked away on a forested road in the picturesque mountain town of Cornell, in 2011 and was immediately smitten.  Because the restaurant is only open Thursday through Sunday…

  • Bemelmans Bar from the “Sex and the City” Movie

    Bemelmans Bar from the “Sex and the City” Movie

    ‘ I must be in a very New York state of mind because here I am yet again blogging about a Big Apple locale – a city landmark, actually – the iconic Bemelmans Bar, which is situated inside of The Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.  I first learned about the popular lounge thanks…

  • Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a risqué one, so brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers!  Back in May, after Behind the Candelabra first premiered, I received an email from my buddy E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, listing a few of the locales that he had tracked down from the HBO biopic.  He ended…

  • Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ Former Mansion

    Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ Former Mansion

    ‘ I recently finished reading Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography which was written by Andrew Morton, the legendary celebrity biographer who also penned Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words, and I have to say that it was absolutely FABULOUS!  I honestly cannot more highly recommend it.  Not only was the book, which became…

  • Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”

    Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I travel back and forth to L.A. so often that sometimes I feel like I live in a hotel – which is not a bad thing, I ADORE hotels.  One that we checked into recently that I absolutely loved was the Hotel Angeleno.  Not only is the place’s architecture unique,…

  • Chelsea Lately’s “The Case of the Douche Bag Actor”

    Chelsea Lately’s “The Case of the Douche Bag Actor”

    ‘ Those of you who are regular visitors to my site will remember that, back in May, my good friend Blaze Foster was hired to be part of a “Detective Lately” skit on the Chelsea Lately show.   His scene was originally scheduled to be filmed on May 8th and I, of course, tagged along with…

  • The “Valentine’s Day” Floral Shop

    The “Valentine’s Day” Floral Shop

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my new husband out to stalk the Burbank storefront that stood in for Siena Bouquet & Cafe – the flower shop/coffee bar belonging to Reed Bennett (aka Ashton Kutcher) in the 2010 romantic comedy Valentine’s Day.  And even though I didn’t particularly like Valentine’s Day all that much –…

  • Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.  Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me.  As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

  • Neptune’s Net from “The Hills”

    Neptune’s Net from “The Hills”

    ‘ One location that had been at the top of my To-Stalk list for a couple of years, but had, for whatever reason, remained unstalked was Neptune’s Net – an oft-filmed-at eatery and Malibu institution that was featured on one of my favorite shows of all time, The Hills, in a scene featuring none other…

  • The Old Zoo In Griffith Park

    The Old Zoo In Griffith Park

    ‘ Just around the corner from the Griffith Park Merry Go Round, which I blogged about yesterday, is the location of the park’s former zoo – an abandoned site  which is commonly referred to as the Old Zoo or the Old Zoo Picnic Grounds.  I first found out about this location from favorite stalking tome…
