  • Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate change, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, one of my favorite Tinseltown lodgings and frequent film star, was sold a couple of years ago, rebranded as a Loews, and extensively remodeled.  Though…

  • Hotel Del Coronado

    Hotel Del Coronado

    ‘ Ever since I was a little girl, my family has been vacationing at Hotel Del Coronado on the island of Coronado. Hotel Del is a truly magical place – like no other hotel I have ever seen. Stepping inside it is literally like stepping back in time a hundred years to a completely different…

  • Oscar Weekend 2010

    Oscar Weekend 2010

    ‘ The celebrity sightings during Oscar Weekend 2010 started a bit early for me this year when Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I accidentally stumbled upon the filming of CSI: Miami in Altadena on Friday morning.  But I’ll save that story for tomorrow’s blog post.  Today, it’s strictly all about Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!  And, let me…

  • The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    The “You, Me and Dupree” House – Revisited

    ‘ Today’s location is one that I have actually already once blogged about – way back in April of 2008 – but because it was a fairly short write-up and because I somehow missed one very pertinent detail when reporting on the place, I decided that it was most-definitely worthy of a re-post.  The location? …

    My Guide to L.A. – Play

    ‘ I originally had more than twenty places featured on this list, but, to make it easier on myself, I decided to break up my Things To Do category into “Play” and “See.”  Today, I’ll be covering Play, aka Los Angeles activities and attractions that I recommend.  Enjoy! 1. Disneyland (1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim) –…

  • The Rub from “The Client List”

    The Rub from “The Client List”

    ‘ Another The Client List location that fellow stalker Owen (aka Jennifer Love Hewitt’s biggest fan), from the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down recently was The Rub – the supposed Sugar Land, Texas-area massage parlor where JLove’s character, Riley Parks, works on the series.  Owen had actually been looking for the locale for…

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off to celebrate Labor Day with my family.  And because I spent this past weekend helping my parents move, I most likely won’t have a new post to publish for tomorrow either.  🙁  But I promise to be back on Wednesday with a whole new blog, so stay tuned! …

  • The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…

    Happy Fourth!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Fourth of July to all of my fellow stalkers.  I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend. ‘
