    New “L.A.” Mag Post – Clifton’s Cafeteria

    Don’t forget to check out today’s post for L.A.mag.com about Clifton’s Cafeteria’s many appearances onscreen.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.

  • The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    Before we get started, I have a couple of announcements.  Some changes will be coming to the blog in 2016.  The biggest change will be a major site redesign, which the Grim Cheaper is currently working on and which I could NOT be more excited about.  You’ll notice I’ve altered my screen captures a bit…

  • Hollywood Center Motel

    Hollywood Center Motel

    A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask me if I knew that my latest Hollywood crush, Simon Baker, had one of his earliest acting roles in the 1997 movie  L.A. Confidential.  And I almost fell out of my chair!  Even though I’ve seen that movie about a hundred times, I never realized that SB…

  • Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    Joan Crawford’s Former Home

    As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the house where Joan Crawford (aka Faye Dunaway) lived in Mommie Dearest, I have become just a wee-bit obsessed with the 1981 film as well as the 1978 autobiography of Joan’s daughter, Christina Crawford, on which it was based.  The book is a fabulous, fabulous read, by the…

  • Sydney Bristow’s Apartment

    Sydney Bristow’s Apartment

    Although I am not a big Alias fan – never seen an episode, actually – I know most of America was pretty obsessed with it. And I do love me some Jennifer Garner. So when I found the address of Sydney’s Bristow’s apartment in my fave stalking book, I, of course, had to stalk it.…

  • Jules’ House from “The Intern”

    Jules’ House from “The Intern”

    For our recent Big Apple vacation, the Grim Cheaper and I took a red eye into New York, leaving Palm Springs at 11 p.m. and landing in NYC at 6:30 a.m.  Working off zero sleep, we were obviously exhausted upon arrival (me especially considering the copious amounts of calming drugs I ingested to curtail my…

  • Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out to…

  • Visiting L.A.

    I have been in L.A. the past few days doing some stalking and visiting friends and therefore have not been able to write any new blog posts.  I will be back next week, though, so until that time, Happy Stalking!  🙂

  • Trish’s House from “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”

    Trish’s House from “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”

    Two weeks ago, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, the Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to watch the 2005 comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin.  I have no idea why we avoided seeing the flick for as long as we did, but I have to say that we both ended up absolutely loving it. …

  • Jack Rabbit Slim’s Restaurant from “Pulp Fiction”

    Jack Rabbit Slim’s Restaurant from “Pulp Fiction”

    This past Tuesday night, I received a very exciting text from fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, letting me know that one of his readers had finally, finally tracked down the exterior of the fictional Jack Rabbit Slim’s restaurant where Mia Wallace (aka Uma Thurman) took Vincent Vega (aka John Travolta) for dinner in…
