    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…

  • San Francisco City Hall

    San Francisco City Hall

    ‘ I think it’”‘”‘s pretty safe to say that I’”‘”‘ve read just about every biography on my girl Marilyn Monroe that’”‘”‘s ever been published.   So, imagine my surprise when I came across an article the other day which stated that the starlet married her second husband, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, at San Francisco City Hall.  How in the…

    On Location With “Peep World”!

    ‘ Yesterday, while heading to fave bookstore Vroman’”‘”‘s to pick up a stalking book  I had special ordered, I happened upon a small crew filming on the sidewalk at the store’”‘”‘s entrance.  One of the policemen on duty was extremely nice and told me that the movie being filmed was a low-budget indie entitled Peep World. …

  • Paradise Cove

    Paradise Cove

    ‘ One location I have been wanting to stalk ever since I first moved to L.A. nine years ago – has it really been nine years??? – is Malibu’”‘”‘s Paradise Cove.  Countless movies have been filmed at the Cove, but I wanted to stalk it for one reason and one reason only.    Back in April of 1999,…

    ‘ Got an email a few weeks back from fellow stalker Tracey who gave me the address of a film location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I had been trying to find for months – the liquor store from the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential!   Mike and I had known from doing some online research that…

  • The El Royale Motel

    The El Royale Motel

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago while doing some Valley stalking,  my boyfriend and I happened to drive by a small motel named the El Royale and I immediately recognized it from this page on the Seeing Stars website.   I didn’”‘”‘t watch the Fourth Season of The O.C. (even though I do love me some Benjamin McKenzie!), but…

  • The Bradbury Building

    The Bradbury Building

    ‘ While serving on jury duty a few years back, I had the opportunity to visit one of the most incredible buildings I’”‘”‘ve ever seen in my life.  Since jurors are oftentimes given incredibly long lunches (sometimes lasting over two and a half hours!!), the jury orientation paperwork includes a list of some “Things To Do” in…

  • The Belasco Theatre

    The Belasco Theatre

    ‘ During my three day stint as an extra in the Britney Spears movie Crossroads, I happened to make friends with a few of the crew members.  The entire cast and crew of the movie was EXTREMELY nice and, as tends to happen on long shoots, I got to know the people I was working…

  • Cafe-Club Fais Do-Do

    Cafe-Club Fais Do-Do

    ‘ Back before she was going shoeless in public restrooms and flashing her privates to anyone with a camera, I was majorly obsessed with pop princess Britney Spears.  The hair, the cute little outfits, her music – I absolutely loved everything about the girl!    I attended her 2001 Live From Las Vegas  concert event, I…

  • Olvera Street

    Olvera Street

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend and my parents out to stalk a street that is known as the “birthplace of Los Angeles”.  The historic Olvera Street outdoor marketplace has long been a popular tourist attraction and filming location.  But its history began over 200 years ago when the area was built by early Spanish settlers.  At…
