    Emmys 2013

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in L.A. enjoying a whirlwind of activities including the bridal shower for Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, some pre-Emmy parties and the 2013 Emmy Awards.  And while I had a blast, I did not get home until late last night and therefore did not have time…

    A Weekend in Newport

    ‘ My parents, the GC and I headed down to Newport Beach for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday.  We stayed at the Balboa Bay Club, which, as you can see above, was decorated quite beautifully for Christmas.  If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by to see their lights.  Anyway,…

    The Barclay Hotel from “As Good As It Gets”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I re-watched the movie As Good As It Gets, which I had not seen since it first came out in theatres almost 15 years ago.  I am ashamed to admit that I had somehow forgotten what a great flick it is!  While watching, I, of course, became…

  • Never Never Land

    Never Never Land

    ‘ Now, even though he has some issues – I do love me some MJ. So I was quite distressed to find out last weekend that MJ’”‘”‘s ranch, Neverland, is in a state of disarray and might be sold and torn down. I just happened to be spending a couple of days in Santa Barbara, so…

    Warner Brothers Ranch, Here I Come!

    ‘ I am literally pinching myself right now because tonight I got to go on a private tour of the Warner Brothers Ranch Lot in Burbank. The Ranch is normally closed to the public, but my friend works on the lot and agreed to take me on my very own private stalking tour. I was…

  • The “Never Been Kissed” Prom

    The “Never Been Kissed” Prom

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk the location of South Glen South High School’”‘”‘s prom from the 1999 movie Never Been Kissed.   Chas and I both knew that the prom interiors had been filmed at the Ebell of Los Angeles – a women’”‘”‘s educational and philanthropic club which has a long and storied film history…

    An Evening with “The Closer” at The Paley Center for Media

    ‘ While perusing my Picasa photo account yesterday, I realized that I have been seriously lagging on my Celebrity Sightings posts, as there are numerous events that I have yet to blog about, most notably one that I attended well over a month ago – The Paley Center for Media’s An Evening with The Closer…

  • Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    ‘ I cannot express how disappointed I am that ABC cancelled Wicked City.  I’ll admit that I was not very impressed with the series’ pilot episode, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that it was rather jarring to see Ed Westwick (one of my absolute faves!) portraying a serial killer.  The…
