    Chez Jacques from “Mannequin”

    ‘ If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – I hate incorrect filming location information!  Case in point – while researching Mannequin locales prior to my recent trip to Philadelphia, I came across a mention online that the movie’s restaurant scene was shot at the now defunct Dewey’s Famous on Locust…

    The Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever Special

    ‘ I know, I know – it was just last week that I promised not to let my blog go on Michael Jackson overload, but I’”‘”‘m sorry, this one was a must-post!  🙂  The other day, while reading one of the many Michael Jackson tribute magazines that have been published since the pop star’”‘”‘s death – and yes, I bought them all…

  • Dorothy Stratten’s Former House

    Dorothy Stratten’s Former House

    ‘ True crime has always fascinated me.  One case that I had never followed, though (probably because I was barely three years old at the time the events took place), was the murder of Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten in 1980.  When my friends Lavonna, Kim, Katie and Kaylee came to L.A. for a visit this…

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ I am taking today off for Memorial Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers are enjoying their three-day weekends and taking a moment to remember those soldiers who lost their lives while fighting for our country. Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂 ‘

    The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    ‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

    The Restaurant Where Brenda and Donna Ate Veal Brains on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over eighteen years now is the Paris restaurant where Donna Martin (aka Tori Spelling) and Brenda Walsh (aka Shannen Doherty) ate veal brains in the Season 3 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 titled “Too Little, Too Late/Paris, 75001”.  Because almost two decades have…

  • Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I don’t know what all the hullabaloo regarding The Morning Show being terrible is about.  The Grim Cheaper and I trepidatiously tuned in earlier this week and, considering all the jeers reviewers are spewing, were shocked at how much we enjoyed the new Apple TV+ series!  We devoured the three episodes that have aired…

  • The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    ‘ In October 2008 cover story, photographer Mark Anderson asks “Who ever forgets the first time they saw Marilyn Monroe?” Such a great quote! I remember exactly where I was the first time I saw Miss Monroe – sitting in my apartment watching just a few short months ago. As soon as I watched the…
