  • The Mama’s Family House

    The Mama’s Family House

    Last week I got a challenge to find the house used in the 1980’s television series Mama’s Family.  I had heard a while back that Mama’s house was in Pasadena, but had no idea of its exact location.   After doing a simple Google search, though, I quickly found the address.  Or so I thought.  🙂  watch…

  • Vibiana

    Vibiana

    A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time – a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles.   While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks :), I saw what looked like a wedding being set up outside…

  • Hilton Checkers Hotel

    Hilton Checkers Hotel

    A few months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA,  scored the two of us invites to a party and silent auction being held by the Location Managers Guild of America.  We had a fab time at the party and got to meet many location scouts, none of whom had any idea that there were people like us out there…

  • On Location With The Mentalist!

    On Location With The Mentalist!

    Yesterday morning while doing some Downtown Los Angeles stalking, I happened to stumble upon a large film crew outside of Union Station.  I, of course, asked one of the background actors what was being filmed and almost fell over when she told me it was my new favorite show, The Mentalist!!!!   I asked if Simon Baker was on set and she laughed and said “Everyone’s been asking…

  • The Mentalist’s CBI Headquarters

    The Mentalist’s CBI Headquarters

    My location obsession as of late has been the CBI Headquarters building where Patrick Jane and the gang report to work each week on my new fave show The Mentalist. I do love me some Simon Baker!  He’s such a cutie!  🙂   Being that it is quite unique in appearance, I had an inkling that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, might recognize the…

  • Flash Forward!

    Flash Forward!

    This past weekend, while out doing some stalking, my boyfriend and I happened upon a rather large film shoot that shut down an entire block in Downtown Los Angeles.  So, of course, we just had to pull the car over to find out what was being filmed.  🙂  Turns out it was the pilot episode of a new…

  • Samantha Jones and Smith Jerrod’s Beach House

    Samantha Jones and Smith Jerrod’s Beach House

    This weekend after stalking Carrie’s honeymoon villa  from Sex and the City: The Movie, I dragged my boyfriend about 15 miles south to stalk yet another location from the film – Samantha and Smith’s beach house.  Thanks to fave book Sex and the City: The Movie, which stated that the home was located on Malibu Road, this…

  • The Sex and the City Honeymoon House

    The Sex and the City Honeymoon House

    Ever since Sex and the City: The Movie premiered last May, I have been absolutely dying to stalk the hotel where the girls stayed during Carrie’s non-honeymoon.  In the movie, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte spend a week at what is supposedly a private villa located on the grounds of a Mexican resort.   In actuality, though, not only were…

  • Donna and David’s Wedding

    Donna and David’s Wedding

    A few months ago Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called to tell me that he had located the church where Donna married David on the very last episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.    He mentioned something about the church being located in Sunland, a small town on the outskirts of Burbank, and for the first time ever I thought Mike, God…

  • Lauren Conrad’s New Condo

    Lauren Conrad’s New Condo

    Last week I heard the tragic news that Lauren Conrad confirmed that this season of her reality show The Hills would, in fact, be the last.  Oh, Lauren, say it ain’t so!!!  I get depressed enough when a season ends – how on earth am I going to feel knowing there will never again be a new…
