    My “Sex and the City” Bachelorette Party

    ‘ As I mentioned in Tuesday’s blog, this past weekend I headed up to Northern California to celebrate my final days of singlehood with a bachelorette party in San Francisco.  My friends Nat and Kylee planned the entire celebration and until I actually arrived at the party site, I had absolutely no idea of what…

    Papagayos Mexican Restaurant & Cantina from "Vanderpump Rules"

    ‘ It has been hot in Palm Springs lately.  Granted, it is always hot here, but the past few months have been unseasonably sweltering.  Two weeks ago, my parents, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to chill out a bit by heading to Lake Arrowhead for a short getaway.  Just prior to our trip, the…

    Liz’s House from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ There are two kinds of people in this world – those who can watch movies over and over and over again and those who cannot.  I am in the former category.  During my teens and twenties, my parents owned a condominium in Hawaii.  We would vacation there every summer, along with other families who…

    Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a risqué one, so brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers!  Back in May, after Behind the Candelabra first premiered, I received an email from my buddy E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, listing a few of the locales that he had tracked down from the HBO biopic.  He ended…

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

    Beverly Hills, 90210!

    ‘ If you lived out your high school years sometime during the nineties, I am sure you were as obsessed with as I was. Big houses, fancy cars, expensive clothes, Luke Perry – what was not to love about the teen soap opera? The Walsh Family’s Spanish Style Beverly Hills home was the very first…

  • The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”

    The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”

    ‘ It is a sad truth that many filming locations are not publicly accessible.  (I’m looking at you Fremont Place, Golden Oak Ranch, the Jack Rabbit Slim’”‘”‘s exterior from Pulp Fiction, pretty much all of the houses from Scream, and Venice High School!  Yes, I have toured the latter several times, but I have never…

    O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are absolutely hooked on the new FX series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which is not surprising considering we have both been fascinated with the case since the beginning – as has the rest of the world.  While watching the first episode, titled “From the Ashes…

    Poolside Getaway

    ‘ My parents surprised us by booking a little poolside family getaway for the week, so I will not have any new posts this week aside from my usual Los Angeles magazine column on Thursday (it’”‘”‘s a really exciting one – I’”‘”‘m telling the story of my favorite only-in-L.A. moment!).  I will be laptoping it…

    ‘ I have been waiting for this day for months!  Yep, that’s right folks – it is finally, finally time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings and I could not be more excited!  In honor of the occasion, I have added a Haunted Hollywood category to my site and while I typically only publish three…
