  • Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”

    I have a major thing for modern houses.  So it’s no shock that my favorite locale from the new Netflix series Dead to Me is the uber-contemporary abode belonging to Judy Hale’s (Linda Cardellini) ex, Steve Wood (James Marsden).  Huge, avant-garde and decidedly unique, I fell in love with the place as soon as it…

  • The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    I found the second season of Secrets and Lies abysmal – which is surprising being that, on paper, it contained several elements that should have made it a sure-fire hit in my book.  Murder mystery premise?  Check!  Shot in L.A.?  Check!  And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James Elliott…

  • Oliver’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

    Oliver’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

    A Lot Like Love is a movie I can’t not watch.  Even though I’ve seen it at least a dozen times and own the DVD, if I happen to catch it on TV, need to scan through it for a post, or it pops up in my Netflix recommendations, I’m pretty much viewing it in…

  • The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    The internet has been going crazy as of late over images of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood filming on location in L.A.  The period piece, which stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Luke Perry (OMG!) and chronicles the murder of Sharon Tate, is set in 1960s Tinseltown.  As Tarantino said…

  • Marie McDonald’s Former House

    Marie McDonald’s Former House

    There are strange Hollywood crimes and then there are strange Hollywood crimes.  Today’s locale fits into the latter category.  Last week, my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me to let me know about a mystifying case concerning an actress that was detailed in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly (issue…

  • “The Brady Bunch” MegaPost

    “The Brady Bunch” MegaPost

    My friend, fellow stalker Michael, is proving to be a true Brady Bunch virtuoso!  Here he is yet again gifting us with yet another fabulous post about the 1969 sitcom – this one a round-up of nine different locales featured on the series!  Take it away, Michael! I know, I know. Yet another Brady guest…

  • New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    My Los Angeles magazine postings are back!  For the time being, until a new full-time editor is found to replace my former editor, I will only be contributing to LAmag.com once or twice a month, for The Culture Files section of the website.  Check out my latest post about Robert Kardashian’s former home, which just…

  • 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.…

  • April’s House from “Glee”

    April’s House from “Glee”

    As I have mentioned countless times before, I am absolutely, irrevocably, one hundred percent obsessed with the television show Glee.  So obsessed that I’ve been watching my “Road to Sectionals” DVDs over and over and over again to bide my time until the series returns from its absurdly long hiatus on April 13th – which…

  • The “Fracture” House

    The “Fracture” House

    A few weeks ago, while doing some cyberstalking, I came across a fabulous filming locations database named Unreel Locations and I just about died when I saw a listing for what the site referred to as “The Fracture House”.  I immediately recognized the property as the ultra modern abode where Ted Crawford (aka Anthony Hopkins)…
