    Healdsburg Town Plaza from “Scream”

    ‘ I was saddened to wake up to the news of yet another fire tearing through Sonoma County last Thursday morning, this one threatening Healdsburg, one of my favorite places in the entire world.  Not only is the city idyllic, pastoral and ridiculously charming, but it is a filming location to boot, the main square…

    Tom Kelley’s Photography Studio – The Site of Marilyn Monroe’s Nude Pictorial

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out doing some Oscar stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the two of us visited a convenience store on Hollywood Boulevard which just so happened to be selling the latest edition of fave star map “Movie Star Homes and Notorious Crime Scenes”.  So, I, of course, just had to buy…

    Dick Clark’s Former Malibu Home

    ‘ Last June, my Grandma sent me an article about legendary television personality Dick Clark’s former Flintstones-style Malibu home, calling it “unbelievable” and asking if I could track it down and stalk it.  One look at the photographs of the cave-like structure, which had recently been put on the market, and I was in!  And…

    The Ambassador Hotel

    ‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…

    Here Comes the Dog!

    ‘ Today I dragged my parents and my boyfriend out to the HIlton Waikoloa Resort and Spa to do some more Dog, the Bounty Hunter stalking. Ever since we arrived in Hawaii, I have been itching to stalk the hotel where Dog and Beth got married on May 20, 2006. The wedding celebration aired on…

  • Home Restaurant from “Raines”

    Home Restaurant from “Raines”

    ‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me.  Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run.  I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007.  In fact, I only learned of it this…

    Dots Cupcakes!

    ‘ Last week, on a whim, I ventured into Dots Cupcakes in Pasadena to buy some Halloween cupcakes for my boyfriend. While waiting in line I noticed a framed InStyle Magazine article sitting on a shelf in the tiny shop. The article detailed the June 2007 wedding of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’”‘”‘Connell, who rather…
