  • More Halloween!

    More Halloween!

    Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had never…

  • Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    My grandma, who loves reading Hollywood biographies just as much as I do, recently gifted me with a book about the life of legendary film idol Lana Turner, authored by the star’s only daughter, Cheryl Crane.  The ginormous tome, which must weigh at least twenty pounds (not kidding!), is named LANA: The Memories, the Myths,…

    My Favorite Entertainment Finds of 2018

    I watch a lot of television and movies throughout the year – as both part of my job and for entertainment.  I am also a voracious reader and listen to a copious amount of podcasts.  2018 brought a slew of new finds.  Some started out as promising, but completely missed the mark [I’m looking at…

    Don’t forget to read today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about the Malcolm in the Middle house – here.  My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.

  • The Michael Buble Suite at the Best Western Alderwood Hotel

    The Michael Buble Suite at the Best Western Alderwood Hotel

    As I’ve mentioned numerous times on this blog, my celebrity crush as of late is Canadian crooner Michael Buble.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the guy and his music!  So, when my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry went on a business trip to the Seattle area a few months back and noticed that her hotel, the…

  • The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    The latest season of Vanderpump Rules might have been the most epic yet.  With Stassi Schroeder making only occasional appearances, I had a fear that the show was going to lose all of its allure and most of its steam, but that was not the case.  Kristen Doute brought the crazy like never before and…

  • The “Hangover” House

    The “Hangover” House

    A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he was on the hunt for the main house used in fave movie The Hangover.  The two of us both had a pretty good inkling that the residence was located somewhere in the Pasadena area, we just weren’t sure exactly…

  • 30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    If you’re a filming location buff, you really shouldn’t travel to Philadelphia without first seeing Trading Places, the 1983 Dan Aykroyd/Eddie Murphy comedy set in the City of Brotherly Love.  And filming location buff or not, you really shouldn’t leave Philly without a visit to 30th Street Station, the city’s main railroad depot which had…

  • Angela Bennett’s House from “The Net”

    Angela Bennett’s House from “The Net”

    Two weekends ago, while Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were driving around looking for a parking place in Venice Beach (NEVER an easy task!), we passed by the dwelling pictured above and he announced, “That’s the house where Sandra Bullock lived in The Net.”  Well, as you can imagine, I was absolutely bowled over to…

  • “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    I’ve ventured down a deep, dark rabbit hole today, friends.  I should back up and explain from the beginning.  Last night, the Grim Cheaper and I watched The Exorcist for the first time.  I had come across images of the stately brick house and adjacent towering staircase featured in the iconic 1973 horror flick while…
