Vertical Wine Bistro
‘ Even though I am not usually a going-out-on-New-Year’s-Eve type of girl, this year I wanted nothing more than to ring in 2010 with a glass of champagne at my very favorite restaurant, POP Champagne Bar in Pasadena. But being that I am not now, nor never have been, a night person – I can’t…

Hyatt Westlake Plaza from “The Karate Kid”
‘ 2014 was definitely the year of The Karate Kid.

Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"
‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me with the following message, “I know you aren’”‘”‘t big on blogging about popular movie locations, especially those discussed elsewhere on the Internet (which is why I have SADLY never been able to read about Marty McFly’”‘”‘s house on your site!!!),…

You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!
‘ Got a from Hilary last week to find the apartment building that the Top 12 American Idols just moved into. This challenge was actually a slam dunk as a good friend of mine used to live in the Idols building. So I just called him up and got the address (Thanks, DH!) The Idols…

"Welcome to Malibu, Bitch!"
‘ Thanks to the ultimate OC stalking guide, I was able to stalk the ginormous mansion used as the home of Marissa Cooper on the second season of The O.C. In real life, the house is owned by NFL star Brian Bosworth and it isn’”‘”‘t located anywhere near the O.C. The mansion can actually be…

The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”
‘ The other Los Angeles area filming location from Twilight that I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post is the Hyatt Regency Valencia Hotel.

Leigh Ann’s House from “Teaching Mrs. Tingle”
‘ The final Teaching Mrs. Tingle location that I was absolutely desperate to find was the home where Leigh Ann Watson (Katie Holmes) lived in the 1999 thriller.
