  • The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    This past weekend, my parents, my fiance and I drove up to Ventura for a little weekend vacay.  And I was absolutely floored to discover – thanks to my new favorite stalking book – that the hostage scene gone wrong from the 2001 movie Swordfish  had been filmed in the coastal town!  But, while my stalking book stated that all of…

  • The Taken Mansion

    The Taken Mansion

    This past weekend, my fiance and I rented the movie Taken – which was phenomenal, by the way!!!! – and I immediately recognized a home featured in it that was originally used in a Season One episode of fave show Beverly Hills, 90210.  I have been dying to stalk the home for the past few years, but, unfortunately, it is…

  • The Starsky & Hutch Mansion

    The Starsky & Hutch Mansion

    A few weeks ago, my mom drove me by what has to be one of the biggest houses I’ve ever seen in my entire life!  The property spans almost an entire city block!  When you drive by it literally just keeps on going and going and going!  LOL  My mom showed me the absolutely ginormous Tudor…

  • Farnsworth Park

    Farnsworth Park

    My favorite movie of all time has got to be Dirty Dancing. I’ve loved the coming-of-age film ever since I was about 13 years old.  Oh, how I wanted to be Baby!  🙂  Growing up, I made my best guy friend practice doing “the lift” with me everytime we were in a swimming pool.  LOL   And, like Baby,…

  • Rae’s Restaurant

    Rae’s Restaurant

    Last weekend, while lounging by the pool in Palm Springs, I happened to open up People Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful  issue and almost fell right off my lawn chair when I saw a pic of my girl Chelsea Handler posing at fave restaurant Rae’s in Santa Monica.  🙂  Chelsea was featured as one of the magazine’s “Pretty Funny”…

  • Moondance Diner

    Moondance Diner

    This morning my mom sent me a link to an awesome new  locations website called “Where It’s At – Pop Culture Is All Around You”.  And I, of course, became TOTALLY and COMPLETELY engrossed in it for a good hour and a half.   I was so engrossed in it, in fact, that I was late in meeting my…

  • Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    This is going to be a short post today as I have had a whirlwind weekend (which I promise to write about tomorrow!)  and had no time to blog.  Anyway, a few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me out to stalk a location from one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time  – the Drew Barrymore/Adam Sandler…

  • Hollywood Center Motel

    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 that SB…

  • On Location With “Peep World”!

    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.   …

  • The L.A. Confidential Liquor Store

    The L.A. Confidential Liquor Store

    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…
