The Former Menendez Family Home
‘ Just around the corner from Vincente Minnelli’s former abandoned mansion (which I blogged about yesterday) is the palatial Elm Drive residence where on August 20th, 1989, brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez (then 22- and 19-years-old, respectively) shot and killed their parents, entertainment company executive Jose and housewife Mary Louise, aka “Kitty.” (I honestly cannot…

Taking a Break . . .
‘ Unfortunately, I have no blog to publish today. 🙁 I had to rush my dad to the emergency room bright and early yesterday morning and wound up spending the entire day and most of the night with him in the hospital. Which normally wouldn’t have precluded me from writing a post, but for some…

The Many Apartments of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”
‘ While it is quite common for locations to shift after the pilot episode of a television series is shot (as I’ve mentioned countless times before on this blog), changes are typically few and far between from that point forward. The vast majority of my favorite shows tend to play fast and loose with their…

Where The American Idol Contestants Live
‘ Even though American Idol is not a show I regularly watch, I was completely floored to find a two page article in this week’”‘”‘s US Magazine featuring the mansion the current Idol contestants are calling home.
