Scrubs!
Last week I attended an acting class in North Hollywood and I happened to get a little bit lost on my way there. I turned onto a small side street off Riverside Drive and wound up in what I thought was a parking lot. But when I saw a guard shack with a large sign…

Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad
Monday night’s episode of The Bachelor was all that RealitySteve promised it would be – and more! The show played out pretty much EXACTLY as he said it would and I completely agree with him that the finale’s “shocking twist” was a set-up from the get-go. Something about Molly’s reaction during the After the Final Rose program…

The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”
Another stalking stop on the Grim Cheaper’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt around Los Angeles that we embarked upon this past February was the historic Koreatown eatery known as the HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant. And while I had known about the watering hole’s vast history and longtime celebrity clientele before we dined there, up until…

“Christmas with the Kranks” Studio Locations
Since I have been on such a Christmas with the Kranks kick as of late, I thought I’d finish out this year’s Yuletide posts by blogging about the movie’s studio locations. The 2004 comedy was unusual in that it utilized the backlots of not one, not two, but three different L.A.-area studios! The main backlot…

Dolly Oesterreich’s House
It is finally that time again, my fellow stalkers – time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings! I, for one, could not be more excited! Though I should mention here that postings this year will be rather light as I have two trips planned this month (as I mentioned last week, I’ve traveled more as…

"I am a Spring Princess!"
One of my favorite lines of all time from Beverly Hills, 90210 was said during the Spring Dance episode from the show’s first season. In the episode, Kelly gets nominated for Spring Queen making her a “Spring Princess” in the interim until the awards are announced. When Kelly arrives at the Walsh’s house on the…

The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”
I love bookstores – and books. Actual books, not the digitized versions. You will never catch me reading on a Kindle. I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell. I love, love, love the smell of books. The Grim Cheaper always makes fun…

Mayfield Senior School from “All About Steve”
Stalkings can come about from the most random of situations. Many, many moons ago, I joined a grief group (long story) where I met a woman who worked at Mayfield Senior School in Pasadena. During one of our sessions, she happened to mention that filming took place on the campus regularly and my ears immediately…

Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated
As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was not yet even a twinkle in my parents’ eyes on November 22nd, 1963, so I did not experience the tragic events firsthand, but they have…

New “L.A.” Mag Post – About “The Mentalist” Finale
Be sure to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine post – about the heartwarming series finale of The Mentalist. My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.
