    The Mansion from “The Beverly Hillbillies” Movie

    ‘ Last week, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Chris who wanted to know if I had any information on the mansion where the Clampett family – Jed (Jim Varney), Jethro Bodine (Diedrich Bader), Elly May (Erika Eleniak), and Granny (Cloris Leachman) – lived in the 1993 movie The Beverly Hillbillies.  Well,…

    Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    ‘ Another spooky locale that I learned about thanks to fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, and his fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the longtime home of Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and his wife, actress Donna Dixon.  The residence piqued my interest due to Aykroyd’s claim of numerous hauntings taking place there…

    The “Four Christmases” Dance Studio

    ‘ I can hardly believe it, but the Christmas season is upon us again!  It seems like just yesterday I was hanging out in a pool celebrating my 40th birthday in June!  I hate how fast time seems to pass, but I do love the holidays and am thrilled to finally be covering a Yuletide-themed…

  • Via Quadronno

    Via Quadronno

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is a teeny, tiny Upper East Side cafe named Via Quadronno. I stumbled upon the cafe three years ago, but had yet to blog about it because up until my recent New York vacation I had no idea what a major celebrity stomping ground it…

  • The “Horrible Bosses” Movie Premiere

    The “Horrible Bosses” Movie Premiere

    ‘ Last Thursday afternoon, fellow stalkers Mikey, of the Mike the Fanboy website, Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, Scotty, CB, Anushika, and I all headed out to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Downtown Hollywood to do some stalking of the world premiere of my girl Jen Aniston’s latest movie Horrible Bosses. As amazing as…

  • The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    ‘ Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons…

  • Copley’s on Palm Canyon – Cary Grant’s Former Guesthouse

    Copley’s on Palm Canyon – Cary Grant’s Former Guesthouse

    ‘ One location that I had been chomping at the bit to stalk for what seemed like ages was Copley’s on Palm Canyon – a restaurant created out of what is said to be Cary Grant’s former Palm Springs guest house.  Because the eatery does not open until 6 p.m. each night, though (I am…

  • Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    ‘ I am pretty sure Penny Marshall had some sort of direct line of sight into my soul.  The late director was behind several of my most beloved films.  And not just movies I enjoy, but ones I find incredibly poignant, moving and enduring – productions that left a mark on my heart and invariably…

  • The Belasco Theatre

    The Belasco Theatre

    ‘ During my three day stint as an extra in the Britney Spears movie Crossroads, I happened to make friends with a few of the crew members.  The entire cast and crew of the movie was EXTREMELY nice and, as tends to happen on long shoots, I got to know the people I was working…

  • Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This season of Modern Family brought to life a storyline that is basically my worst fear – nightmare neighbors.  Poor Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen) had their tranquility disturbed in the episode titled “Won’t You Be Our Neighbor” when loudmouth medicinal marijuana dealer Ronnie LaFontaine (Steve Zahn), his wife, Amber (Andrea…
