The “Rumor Has It” House
‘ Out of the blue last week, fellow stalker Owen and I became a bit obsessed with finding the white clapboard colonial style home used in the 2005 Jen Aniston movie Rumor Has It. For some extremely odd reason, neither Owen (who is also a HUGE JA fan) nor I had ever tried to locate the house before. I didn’”‘”‘t…

Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”
‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago. Sure I’ve visited the neighboring Mountain View Cemetery numerous times and even dedicated a post to it, but somehow I never knew about…

My So-Called Weekend
‘ I know My So-Called Life has been off the air for over 8 years now, but I am still slightly obsessed with it. When one of my co-workers told me that MSCL was filmed at his high school, University High School in West LA, I set out to have a My So-Called Weekend! University High…

Simon Fuller’s Walk of Fame Star Ceremony
‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, bright and early this past Monday morning I headed out to Hollywood to attend the Walk of Fame Star Ceremony for American Idol creator Simon Fuller. And I really should admit here that, while the Grim Cheaper is a die-hard fan of AI, I have never really been…

The Dakota
‘ Today is the 28th anniversay of John Lennon’”‘”‘s death, so I thought I would devote today’”‘”‘s blog to him. I have never really been much into music (my idea of a music icon is Britney Spears, if that tells you anything!) so I was never a fan of John Lennon or the Beatles. My…

Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!
‘ I don’”‘”‘t know what’”‘”‘s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical…

Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day!
‘ I apologize for being M.I.A. most of last week. My grandma came to town for a five-day visit and, despite the fact that she is 88 years old (!!!), we spent most of our time out and about. I can only hope that I am as spry at that age! Anyway, I will be…

Arthur Abbott’s House from “The Holiday”
‘ Another location from the 2006 movie The Holiday that I set out to track down last week for my Christmas-themed stalking posts was the large Mediterranean-style abode where Arthur Abbott (aka The Misfits’ Eli Wallach) lived. Thanks to the flick’s production notes, I knew that the property was located somewhere in Brentwood and that…

The Former Site of the Roxbury
‘ In honor of my girl Shannen Doherty’s new reality series, Shannen Says, which premieres next Tuesday (can’t wait!), I thought I would blog today about one of the actress’ famed hangouts from her Beverly Hills, 90210 days – the Roxbury in West Hollywood. Back when I was a teenager and knee-deep in my 90210…
