  • A Breather

    A Breather

    ‘ This past week was a particularly trying one for me, during which both of my parents wound up in the hospital – my dad expectedly for a scheduled surgery and my mom completely unexpectedly (and rather scarily, I might add) when she fainted in the pre-operating room while my dad was being prepped.  They…

  • The Sunset Tower Hotel

    The Sunset Tower Hotel

    ‘ One of my favorite places to visit in all of LA is the Sunset Tower Hotel, located on the legendary Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The Sunset Tower Hotel was built in 1931 by architect Leland A. Bryant for owner E.M. Fleming. The Art Deco building, which originally functioned as an upscale apartment house, was…

    The Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park Bandshell from “New Girl”

    ‘ Brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers, because today’s post is going to be a long one!  Another New Girl location that my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna asked me to track down recently was the park where Jess (Zooey Deschanel) held a recital for her “Ensembell” bell choir in the Season 1 episode titled “Bells”.  This…

  • Judy’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    Judy’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ The one location from Bridesmaids that I was most determined to track down – the one that I would not stop bugging poor Mike, from MovieShotsLA, about – was the yellow ranch-style dwelling where Annie’s (Kristen Wigg’s) mom, Judy (Jill Clayburgh, who was ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE in the role, which was, sadly, her last), lived…

  • Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    ‘ Back in January of 2000, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a little scuffle with the authorities at Keahole Kona International Airport. So, since I just happen to be in Kona, I had to do a little airport stalking. 🙂 It seems Ms. Houston was departing from Kona after a vacation on the Big…

  • Scranton Business Park from the First Season of “The Office”

    Scranton Business Park from the First Season of “The Office”

    ‘ A fellow stalker named Scott recently challenged me to track down the building that was used as both the interior and exterior of Scranton Business Park during the inaugural season of The Office.  I was perplexed at his query as I had no idea that two different Dunder Mifflin locations had been utilized during…

  • Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    ‘ In mid-January, fellow stalker Ashley, of The Drewseum, asked for some help in tracking down the Moorish-style apartment building where Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) lived on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff series Angel.  She sent me a link to this image of the building and, even though I had never seen an episode…

  • 90210’s Baby Mama’s House

    90210’s Baby Mama’s House

    ‘ While stalking the 90210 house last week, the owner, Jack, told Mike [of MovieShotsLA – as if you didn’”‘”‘t already know by now :)] and me about a few Beverly Hills, 90210 filming locations that we had yet to locate. One location was the home of Brandon’”‘”‘s love interest from the Season 1 episode…

  • The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

  • Dexter and Rita’s House from “Dexter”

    Dexter and Rita’s House from “Dexter”

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my fiancé out to Long Beach – or as Snoop Dogg calls it “The LBC” – to do some stalking.  My original plan was to book a room at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa – the spot currently standing in for the Beverly Hills Beach Club…
