    The “Four Christmases” Dance Studio

    ‘ I can hardly believe it, but the Christmas season is upon us again!  It seems like just yesterday I was hanging out in a pool celebrating my 40th birthday in June!  I hate how fast time seems to pass, but I do love the holidays and am thrilled to finally be covering a Yuletide-themed…

  • Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I am spending the week visiting my parents and therefore will not be blogging.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a very merry Christmas! Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂 ‘

  • Killarney Market from Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” Video

    Killarney Market from Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” Video

    ‘ Now don’t laugh, but the primary reason behind the Grim Cheaper’s and my trip up to the Pacific Northwest this past weekend was so that I could stalk the spot where Michael Buble filmed the music video for his hit song “Haven’t Met You Yet” – Killarney Market in Vancouver, British Columbia.  Sure, we…

  • FBI Headquarters from “The Mentalist”

    FBI Headquarters from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ Around this time last year, The Mentalist embarked on a huge change of course by having Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) leave the Sacramento-based California Bureau of Investigation and then join the Austin, Texas branch of the FBI.  So, of course, that meant that I had a new location to…

  • Karyn Kupcinet’s Former Apartment

    Karyn Kupcinet’s Former Apartment

    ‘ Back in June, while reading Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s fabulous book Killing Kennedy, I was reminded of an unsolved death tied to the former president that took place in November 1963 in West Hollywood – the murder of 22-year-old actress Karyn Kupcinet in her Monterey Village apartment on North Sweetzer Avenue. Figuring that…

  • Daniel McCormick’s House from “Forever Young”

    Daniel McCormick’s House from “Forever Young”

    ‘ Back in my early stalking days, I purchased a Scott’s L.A. Audio Tour of Pasadena CD.  I loved every minute of it and learned about quite a few new locations while listening, one of which was the home where Claire Cooper (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her son, Nat (Elijah Wood), lived in the 1992…

  • Andy’s Coffee Shop from the “Cups” Music Video

    Andy’s Coffee Shop from the “Cups” Music Video

    ‘ There is nothing my mom likes better than a greasy spoon-type restaurant.  She is a virtual expert on seeking them out – whether near our home, while on vacation somewhere, or passing through a town.  So imagine my shock when I recently learned about Andy’s Coffee Shop, a small greasy spoon that has been…

  • The Bel Age Hotel from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Bel Age Hotel from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Ah, change.  It’s one of my least favorite things, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel, one of the most prominent locations from Beverly Hills, 90210, closed in 2007 to undergo a huge renovation and was renamed The London West Hollywood.  I had been…

  • My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio

    My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio

    ‘ Last month, I headed out to the Skylark Hotel in Palm Springs to meet with George Smart, of the US Modernist website, and record a bit for his popular podcast, US Modernist Radio.  While sitting by the pool in the Skylark’s fabulously retro courtyard (which could not have felt more appropriate), George and I…

  • William McKinley High School from “Glee”

    William McKinley High School from “Glee”

    ‘ My Hollywood obsession as of late is the new Fox musical dramedy Glee.  Actually, stating that I am obsessed with the series is a rather gross understatement.  To say it’s more of an all-out, withdrawal-symptom inducing addiction would be closer to the truth.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve been this enamored of a…
