  • The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    ‘ This past weekend, my parents, my fiance and I drove up to Ventura for a little weekend vacay.  And I was absolutely floored to discover – thanks to my new favorite stalking book – that the hostage scene gone wrong from the 2001 movie Swordfish  had been filmed in the coastal town!  But, while my stalking book stated that all…

  • Santa Monica Cop

    Santa Monica Cop

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend to stalk the mansion that Eddie Murphy and his new cop buddies storm at the end of the movie Beverly Hills Cop. The house is not actually located in Beverly Hills, but a good 20 minutes in Santa Monica. The home is absolutely ginormous – I mean the…

  • Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Vanderpump Rules is like a fine wine – it just keeps getting better with age.  Six seasons in and the show still hasn’t peaked!  Well, in my opinion, at least.  Not only do the storylines continually get more and more compelling (and ridiculous – “My boyfriend can hang a TV in under seven minutes. …

  • Cameron Frye’s House

    Cameron Frye’s House

    ‘ Last Wednesday morning I almost fell out of my chair as I opened up my email account and saw an AOL news headline screaming out at me “Ferris Bueller’”‘”‘s Day Off   House For Sale!”  At first, I thought the article was talking about the Long Beach area home that stood in for Ferris’”‘”‘ in the film.  But, in reality, it is the…

  • The Lost Horizon Apartment Complex from “Major Crimes”

    The Lost Horizon Apartment Complex from “Major Crimes”

    ‘ I have long been a fan of the television series Major Crimes (as well as its parent show The Closer) and though I love pretty much every single episode that airs, I do have a definitive favorite – Season 2’s “There’s No Place Like Home.”  For those who have not seen the episode (and…

  • William Desmond Taylor’s Former House

    William Desmond Taylor’s Former House

    ‘ Last Saturday, my mom, the Grim Cheaper and I attended a book signing for William J. Mann’s latest tome, Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood.  My mom had heard about the event on our favorite desert radio show, The Bill Feingold Show Featuring Kevin Holmes, and thought I would be…

  • The Gilmore Mansion from “Gilmore Girls”

    The Gilmore Mansion from “Gilmore Girls”

    ‘ While I realize this may be considered blasphemy in some circles, I have never really watched Gilmore Girls.  On paper, the show definitely looks like something that would appeal to me, but for whatever reason, I failed to tune in when it originally started airing in 2000.  At the behest of fellow stalker/Gilmore Girls…

  • The “Crossroads” Gas Station

    The “Crossroads” Gas Station

    ‘ One  location that I was absolutely dying to stalk while visiting Palmdale last week was the supposed Texas-area gas station where Lucy Wagner (aka Miss Britney Spears) stole the keys to Ben’s (aka Anson Mount’s) Buick Skylark convertible in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  I had known from watching the flick’s DVD commentary with director Tamra…

  • The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    ‘ I have a pretty amazing memory, especially when it comes to things most people find useless, such as filming locations and movie quotes.  I’m like a vault.  Or an elephant.  Once something enters my brain, it locks in and I don’t forget it.  So I was shocked when I received an email a couple…
