  • The El Royale Motel

    The El Royale Motel

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago while doing some Valley stalking,  my boyfriend and I happened to drive by a small motel named the El Royale and I immediately recognized it from this page on the Seeing Stars website.   I didn’”‘”‘t watch the Fourth Season of The O.C. (even though I do love me some Benjamin McKenzie!), but…

  • Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…

  • Rachel’s House from “(500) Days of Summer”

    Rachel’s House from “(500) Days of Summer”

    ‘ Today’s post is, unfortunately, going to be a short one being that I am absolutely exhausted from what turned out to be a very exciting and very successful Emmy weekend.  (That’s me on the red carpet above!  )  While I had a blast, I truly feel like I could sleep for days and am…

  • Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    ‘ I am a sucker for any movie about Los Angeles.  Coincidentally (or perhaps no so coincidentally), Steve Martin has written and starred in two of my favorites – L.A. Story and Bowfinger.  Two completely different takes on life in LaLaLand, but both equally valid and poignant.  Because I originally moved to Southern California to…

  • The Adamson House from “You”

    The Adamson House from “You”

    ‘ The second season of You had me feeling like an inadequate Angelino!  (Yes, even though I now live in Palm Springs, I still consider myself an L.A. denizen.)  In episode 6, “Farewell, My Bunny,” Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and her friends teach Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) about Los Angeles’ “seven totems,” which, once seen,…

  • The Complete Guide to the Season 1 Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies”

    The Complete Guide to the Season 1 Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ As longtime readers know, I watch a LOT of TV.  Only a handful of shows have ever become full-fledged obsessions, though, Beverly Hills, 90210, The Hills, and Big Littles Lies among them.  The second season of the latter will finally be debuting in June and I am beyond excited!  I cannot wait to revisit…

  • The “Four Christmases” Church

    The “Four Christmases” Church

    ‘ Due to the fact that Christmas movies filmed in the L.A. area are few and far between, I typically only compile about five holiday-themed locales to blog about each year.  (If I could swing an entire month of Christmas posts, believe me, I would.)  This year was no different and because there are only…

  • The Surfrider Foundation’s 6th Annual Celebrity Expression Session

    The Surfrider Foundation’s 6th Annual Celebrity Expression Session

    ‘ This past Saturday, the fabulous Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, invited me and the Grim Cheaper out to Malibu to do a little stalking of one of her very favorite celebrity events – the Surfrider Foundation’s 6th Annual Celebrity Expression Session, an hour-long free surf contest which was taking place at First…

  • The Paley Center for Media’s “Television: Out of the Box” Exhibit

    The Paley Center for Media’s “Television: Out of the Box” Exhibit

    ‘ Two weekends ago, as the Grim Cheaper and I were making our way home from the Hollywood Show, I decided to peruse through my Facebook newsfeed and just about died when I saw that a fellow stalker named Brittany had posted photographs of numerous Friends props and costumes on display at the Warner Bros.…

  • Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”

    Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”

    ‘ Anyone who has ever driven on the I-10 Freeway east of downtown Los Angeles has most likely noticed the A-line, red-roofed building that towers over the skyline to the south.  That building is Bob Hope Patriotic Hall.  I have passed by it hundreds of times and have always wanted to venture inside.  A couple…
