  • Triada Palm Springs

    Triada Palm Springs

    For those who are unfamiliar with the area, Palm Springs is HOT in the summer.  Well, it’s hot year-round, but in the summer it’s hot hot – like 115 most days.  One nice consequence of that fact is that hotels drop their prices during the inclement months.  My family loves to partake of the low…

  • Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    A few months back I read a fabulous book named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story written by author J. Randy Taraborelli about the life and times of the King of Pop.  I’ve mentioned the biography once before in a post I wrote back in September about the Jackson Family’s first L.A.…

  • Vincent Price in Thriller

    Vincent Price in Thriller

    At the risk of this site dwelling far too excessively on the recent sad passing of pop star Michael Jackson, I just had to write one more blog post about him.  Or, rather, about his legendary music video Thriller and one of its main filming locations. I received an email last night with the above photograph attached…

  • Paramount Studios as a Wedding Venue

    Paramount Studios as a Wedding Venue

    Well, I guess it is finally about time that I start blogging about my wedding, but I can’t very well do that without first writing about the place where I got almost all of my wedding planning inspiration – the Studios at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood.  When Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I embarked on our…

  • Aunt Mitsy’s House from “Rumor Has It”

    Aunt Mitsy’s House from “Rumor Has It”

    One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like ages now is the home where Aunt Mitsy (aka Kathy Bates) lived in the 2005 movie Rumor Has It.  Even though I was never a particularly big fan of the flick, I pretty much fell in love with Aunt Mitsy’s adorable…

  • Krotona Apartments

    Krotona Apartments

    I have always maintained that I am an equal opportunity stalker.  It is not just filming locations that enthrall me, but pop culture landmarks, historical sites, and architectural curiosities.  In fact, the curiouser the better.  So when I came across a grouping of grandiose Moorish-style structures dotted throughout a small section of the Hollywood Hills…

  • 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…

  • The White House Gates from “Scandal”

    The White House Gates from “Scandal”

    My life as of late seems to be absorbed by Scandal.  As I mentioned last week, the Grim Cheaper and I have recently become addicted to the ABC series.  Besides watching it during pretty much every free waking moment, I have also been furiously researching the show’s filming locations.  While set in Washington, D.C., Scandal…

  • Chris’ Apartment from “Parks and Recreation”

    Chris’ Apartment from “Parks and Recreation”

    I realize that I am on serious Parks and Recreation overload here, but today’s location is one that I could not not blog about being that I am absolutely OBSESSED with it!  What is the location you ask?  The supposed Indianapolis-area ultra-modern loft that Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) owns on the series.  I became just…

  • The Hollywood Show!

    The Hollywood Show!

    This past Saturday morning, I headed out to Burbank to attend the quarterly Hollywood Show, formerly known as the Hollywood Collectors Show. For those who have never heard of the event (like me, up until just recently), let me break it down for you. The Hollywood Show is a convention in which celebrities of yesteryear…
