Oscar Weekend 2013
‘ I spent this past weekend in L.A. doing some pre-Oscar stalking and while I did not have as much luck with celebrity photos this year as I have in years past, my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, did. I think she got about 55 celeb pics in total! I really…

Aunt Mitsy’s House from “Rumor Has It”
‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like ages now is the home where Aunt Mitsy (aka Kathy Bates) lived in the 2005 movie Rumor Has It. Even though I was never a particularly big fan of the flick, I pretty much fell in love with Aunt Mitsy’s…

Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire
‘ Because I encountered so much filming location misinformation while researching my post on Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey last week, I decided that I just had to write a blog about the place’s sister eatery, the now-defunct Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, which…

Bryant-Lake Bowl from “Beautiful Girls”
‘ To appease my good friend and fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who has been on my case ALL WEEK about my constant Minnesota blogging, beginning tomorrow I will be returning to my old stomping grounds, so to speak, by writing about locales in the Los Angeles area.

Daisie Villa’s Houseboat from “Rosewood”
‘ While I love the ocean, the thought of living on a houseboat has never appealed to me – that is until I caught a glimpse of the idyllic floating home belonging to Daisie Villa (Lisa Vidal) on the recently cancelled Fox procedural Rosewood.

Bob’s Market from “The Fast and the Furious”
‘ As I mentioned in my December 12th post for Los Angeles magazine’s CityThink blog, I was heartbroken upon learning the news of Paul Walker’s death. I met Paul on December 1st, 2012, almost a year to the day of his passing, and couldn’t have been more impressed with his down-to-earth attitude and kindness. (You…

The “Beaches” Mansion vs. The “Starsky & Hutch” Mansion
‘ Two weeks ago, fellow stalker Jenny left a comment on my post about the long-sought-after Beaches mansion in which she mentioned that the very same residence had also been used in both 1983’s Mr. Mom and 1987’s Who’s That Girl. Ironically enough, I had received virtually that same exact comment from a fellow stalker…

I Am Just So That Into It!
‘ On Friday night, literally the second my boyfriend got off work, I dragged him right out to see new movie He’”‘”‘s Just Not That Into You. He said afterwards that if he had known it was a two-hour-and-nine-minute-long-movie, he never would have agreed to see it. LOL Needless to say, he just wasn’”‘”‘t that…

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…

My Guide to L.A. – Bars
‘ When I lived in L.A., one of my favorite things to do was grab a drink with the Grim Cheaper at a different bar every Saturday night. I loved discovering, cocktail in hand, the myriad of fabulous lounges the city has to offer, many of them historic. That being said, I am in no…
