  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, I am in no way a foodie, preferring chicken strips and ranch dressing to foie gras and jus.  My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants will reflect that.  Here you’ll find the best of the best comfort food, down home cooking, delis, and cafés, with a few…

  • The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles.  While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building.  I’d heard of…

  • Griffith Park’s Pote Field from “Jerry Maguire”

    Griffith Park’s Pote Field from “Jerry Maguire”

    Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked way back in early June (shortly before we stalked the legendary Perino’s restaurant, which I blogged about yesterday) was Pote Field in Griffith Park, which was featured in the closing scene of one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time – 1996’s Jerry Maguire.  Mike…

  • The Pasadena Recovery Center from “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”

    The Pasadena Recovery Center from “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”

    One location that I stalked with my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Beth, Melissa, Kim, and Sandy, while they were in town visiting from Ohio last week was the Pasadena Recovery Center from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.  And while I had never before actually seen an episode of the VH1 reality series, which just…

  • Crossroads School

    Crossroads School

    Last night my boyfriend gave me an article entitled “The Speidi Chronicles” that he had saved for me from Sunday’s LA Times and it was all about Spencer and Heidi. I swear I really need to marry this guy! 🙂 Anyway, Spencer and Heidi sat down at Don Antonio’s for the interview and over some…

  • “The Seventh Sign” House

    “The Seventh Sign” House

    NOTE – This blog was supposed to post yesterday, but somehow did not, so it looks like I am a day late and a dollar short.  Sorry about that!  I would like to start off by wishing my fellow stalkers a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  I hope all of you have a fabulously spook-filled day.   …

  • Robolights – One of the World’s Most Unusual Christmas Displays

    Robolights – One of the World’s Most Unusual Christmas Displays

    I’ve been lamenting to the Grim Cheaper lately about Palm Springs’ lack of Christmas décor.  Sure there are some lights displayed in various shopping centers and on downtown streetlights, but overall the desert just doesn’t have the feeling of the holidays – at least not when compared to Los Angeles.  There is one Movie Colony-area…

  • Paramount Studios . . . A Third Time

    Paramount Studios . . . A Third Time

    As I mentioned in last Thursday’s post about my second VIP Tour of the Studios at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood,  I also recently embarked on a third tour of the lot, along with fellow stalkers Lavonna, Debbie, Connie, and Beth, who were all in town visiting from Ohio this past October.  And I am very…

  • Griffith Park from the “Full House” Opening Credits

    Griffith Park from the “Full House” Opening Credits

    Growing up, I was obsessed with ABC’s TGIF series Full House.  Like obsessed!  Because my Uncle Tim lived with my family during my younger years, I related closely to the show – and thought it was insanely cool that I had my very own “Uncle Jesse.”  So I was thrilled when fellow stalker Michael contacted…

  • Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”

    Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”

    Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale.  It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all!  In early December, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in the O.C. and decided to head out to Old Towne Orange to do some Christmas shopping.  While perusing the charming streets and boutiques, I was reminded…
