Crossroads School

Last night my boyfriend gave me an article entitled “The Speidi Chronicles” that he had saved for me from Sunday’s LA Times and it was all about Spencer and Heidi. I swear I really need to marry this guy! 🙂 Anyway, Spencer and Heidi sat down at Don Antonio’s for the interview and over some quesadillas and fajitas they opened up about life on The Hills. Ever notice how every time Spencer and Heidi sit down for an interview, it’s always at Don Antonio’s?!? Anyway, besides revealing juicy little tidbits like the fact that Heidi didn’t get paid a dime for being a part of the first season and that while she had to pay rent for their Park La Brea Apartment Lauren did not, the article also dilvulged that Spencer attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica. Since I happened to be in Santa Monica today, I just had to go stalk it!

Besides being Spencer Pratt’s alma mater, the school has educated a slew of other famous celebs and their children, including Kate Hudson, Cash Warren, Baron Davis, Michael Bay, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jack Black, Jake Busey, Sean Astin, and (total coincidence) Whitney Port. I wonder if she knew Spencer in high school! Although Crossroads is a highly prestigious school, it has also attracted its fair share of scruitiny. A book written in 2004 called Hollywood Interrupted did not paint a very flattering picture of the school or its students and neither did a 2005Vanity Fair article.

The school is very modern looking and has some highly unique architecture. I definitely recommend doing a drive by if you get the chance.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: Crossroads School is located at 1714 21st Street, just off Olympic Boulevard, in Santa Monica. The school is very close to the Epic Records office building where Audrina works.

People’s Revolution

This weekend, I dragged my boyfriend to People’s Revolution, the clothing PR firm where Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port now work on my fave show The Hills. I have to admit I was a little nervous walking up to the storefront of People’s Revolution as I was a bit afraid that Kelly Cutrone might come out and bite my head off if she saw me taking a picture in front of her store. She does not seem like a nice lady! LOL I needn’t have worried, though, as the windows of People’s Revolution are completely blacked out and it is impossible to see inside the shop. I wonder if this was always the case, or if it is a recent development due to hordes of paparazzi and fans stalking the shop.

People’s Revolution is a tiny little storefront located directly on Melrose Avenue, not too far from the Groundlings Theatre. Stalkers beware, though – there is a sign on the front door warning that admittance is by appointment only. 🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: People’s Revolution is located at 7005 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. It is in sort of a dodgy neighborhood, so I wouldn’t recommend stalking it at night.

The Hills Update!

On tonight’s episode of The Hills, Lauren, Lo, and Audrina move into their new Hollywood digs. I stalked this location a while back and thought I’d re-post LC’s new address. You can read the full post here. 🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: Lauren’s new house is located at 1627 N. Orange Grove Avenue in Hollywood.

The Hills are Alive!

I must say this season of The Hills is so much better than I ever could have hoped! Is it sad that I get a little depressed every Monday night at around 11pm because I have to wait a whole week until a new episode airs? LOL Anyway, on the show, Lauren (and now Stephanie Pratt) attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, and after last weeks’ episode, I decided I just had to go out and stalk it!

FIDM is located in Downtown Los Angeles, just off the 110 Freeway. The Fashion Institute looks much like it does on The Hills, except that it is much smaller in person than it looks on TV. The campus is attached to a newly rennovated park named Grand Hope Park. It is a beautiful little park complete with fountains, trees, walkways, and benches to sit on and enjoy the sunshine. I was highly bummed that while we were there, I didn’t have any LC or Stephanie sightings. 🙁 Maybe next time!

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: FIDM is located at 919 South Grand Avenue, on the corner of West 9th Street and Grand Avenue, in Downtown Los Angeles. Grand Hope Park would be the perfect place to enjoy a summer picnic. You can visit FIDM’s website here.

Don’t Quit Your Day Job, Spencer!

Those who have seen Heidi’s new music video “Higher” will totally understand when I say it’s a good thing Spencer comes from money as I really don’t see a bright future for him in the music video industry. For those of you who have yet to see Heidi’s video, you really must do so now, as there are NO words to describe it!!!!

LOL LOL LOL!

A few months ago in US Magazine I read that Spencer’s dad is a prominent Santa Monica dentist, so this weekend I did a google search for a Dr. Pratt in Santa Monica. I found the address of his office right away and promptly drove there to take a picture. 🙂 His office is located in a very nice building in a nice part of town – so I am not too worried about Spencer not having a future in music video directing. I am fairly certain his daddy will continue to take care of him until he finds his true life calling. For the time being, Spencer should rest assured that he is fulfilling his goal of “making people react and ultimately not think about that we are in a war in Iraq” – while watching “Higher” I swear I didn’t think about the war in Iraq once!

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: If you want to get your teeth examined by Dr. Pratt, you can find him at the Tenth Street Medical Building in Santa Monica, located at 1450 10th Street, right at the corner of 10th and Broadway. Maybe he can also give you ginormous white teeth just like Spencer! 🙂

Epic Records – Audrina’s Place of Business

On The Hills, Audrina Patridge, Lauren’s roommate, works at Epic Records, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment. Being that I am completely obsessed with The Hills (when is the second part of the third season going to air already????) I just had to stalk the office building where Audrina works. This location was a snap to find, as I had driven by it many times before and recognized it immediately when it was shown on The Hills. The Sony BMG Music building is located in a cute little business district in Santa Monica, just off the 10 Freeway. While there, you can walk right up to the back gates of the building on 20th Street, and peek in to see the interior courtyard area, which is used frequently on The Hills whenever Audrina needs to escape and have a chat about Justin Bobby with one of her co-workers.

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It: The Sony BMG building is located at 2100 Colorado Avenue, at the corner of 20th Street, in Santa Monica. If you drive north on Colorado, you can hit up Quiznos, La Salsa, and, my personal favorite, Starbucks. I wonder if Audrina stops at that Starbucks every morning before work?!?! 🙂

Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"

On The Hills, Heidi supposedly works at the event planning company Bolthouse Productions. I say “supposedly” not because I doubt that she actually works there, but because I doubt that she actually does any work. It seems the only two things Heidi ever does while at “work” are gossip with various co-workers about her many problems with Spencer and gossip with various co-workers about her many problems with Lauren.

Even so, I just had to stalk the location of Bolthouse Productions. The location was easy enough to find with a simple google search. After snapping a picture out in front of the building, I had to sneak around back to see the spot where Spencer told Heidi “Sweet! My answer is get out of my car!” 🙂

On a side note, thanks to a comment from E.J. and his stalking website, I found a link to a GREAT map with tons of Hills filming locations! You can view the map here. Looks like I have some more stalking to do!

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂

Stalk It:Bolthouse Productions is located at 7966 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, not too far from Speidi’s apartment complex. You’ll recognize the building right away by the “sbe” sign located near the roof. There is plenty of street parking, so you can get out and snap a quick picture. Be sure not to bother Heidi at work, though, as I am sure Brent Bolthouse is not too appreciative when Heidi gets distracted from her many daily event planning duties. 🙂

Lauren’s House – Part Two (Or Should I Say Les Deux)

At the risk of becoming a stalking site solely about The Hills, I just had to share my pics from visiting LC’s house this weekend. Conveniently, Lauren’s new pad is located only half a mile from Speidi’s apartment building on the cutest street in the world! 🙂 Her house is gorgeous in person – I absolutely loved it! I must say, I would definitely be plonking down $2.3 million for this house, too, if I had it! Ahh, if only I had my own reality show!!

Last weekend I also visited LC’s home away from home – Les Deux nightclub. Les Deux is in an unmarked building on Las Palmas Avenue in Hollywood and you’d never know it was there if you weren’t looking for it. One of these days I am going to have to stalk it at night, when it is actually open! 🙂 It looks like a pretty cool place – part of it is an old Craftsman style house which backs up to a huge outdoor patio. I believe that patio is the very site where Lauren and Heidi had their first big public showdown – “You know what you did! You know what you did!”

Les Deux is located just down the street from another famous location from the big screen – Julia Roberts’ hotel from Pretty Woman. Her character lived at the Las Palmas Hotel in the beginning of the movie and it’s also the same site where Richard Gere climbed up the fire escape to rescue her!

Until next time, Happy Stalking!

Stalk It: LC’s new house is located at 1627 N. Orange Grove Avenue in Hollywood. Les Deux is located nearby at 1638 N. Las Palmas Avenue. I think Thursday nights are the big nights to hang out there. You can find the Las Palmas Hotel just a few blocks north of Les Deux at 1738 N. Las Palmas Avenue. It’s a bit of a shady place, so exercise caution!

Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!

I don’t know what’s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical answer. All I can say is that even though I think Spencer and Heidi are both complete douchebags, I am still totally obsessed with them!

For the past few months I have spent countless hours on Los Angeles apartment websites searching for Speidi’s building, with no luck whatsoever. I was beginning to think I was losing my touch! (Gasp!) So, this weekend, as a last resort, I bought Season Two of The Hills in the hopes that I could find some clue as to their apartment’s location on the DVDs. A side benefit in purchasing Season 2 on DVD is that I can now watch the scene where Heidi tells Spencer that her answer to moving in with him is “No” and he says “Sweet! My answer is get out of my car!” over and over again! I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that! 🙂

Anyway, success came pretty quickly because on the Season 2 Finale, in the scene when Spencer first shows Heidi the apartment, I found a few clues that led me to the right spot. I first noticed the address number “1333” behind Spencer’s head as he was sitting on the front steps of the building waiting for Heidi. After they tour the apartment, he takes her out onto the balcony and points out various Hollywood hot spots that he and Heidi frequent. That let me know the apartment had to be in Hollywood, west of Las Palmas Ave. From there I just googled the terms “1333” and “Hollywood Apartments” which led me to a listing Craig’s List and I knew I had found it!

I dragged my boyfriend to the La Fontaine apartments this afternoon to check out the place – and since I just happen to be in the market for an apartment myself, I buzzed the manager to take us on a tour of the available units. 🙂 The apartments are really nice on the inside – dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, granite counter-tops. If only the one we viewed had the word “Hollywood” graffiti-ed on the living room wall, I just might have taken it right then and there! 🙂

Stalk It: Spencer and Heidi’s apartment building, La Fontaine, is located at 1333 N. Curson in Hollywood. You can check out the La Fontaine website here – http://www.frostchaddock.com/. For $2700 and up, you can be Speidi’s neighbor! To take a tour of the available apartments, buzz the manager at the sister building across the street at 1322 N. Curson.

Where It All Began

Since I’ve blogged about LC’s homes past and present for the last few days , I thought I’d come full circle and write about where it all began – LC’s home in Laguna Beach, California. One day last year, back when I was on Team Kristin, I dragged my boyfriend to Laguna Beach to stalk all of the Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. filming locations. LC’s house was pretty easy to find actually. We just stopped into one of the local motels in Laguna and I asked the front desk clerk, who was about 19, where some of the Laguna Beach filming spots were located. Turns out he went to Laguna Beach High with LC and the gang and he pointed me in the direction of a few of the locations, the best one being Lauren’s house.

He told me to just drive south on Coast Highway a few miles and that I couldn’t miss Lauren’s house up on the hill overlooking the Pacific. Sure enough, there it was! Lauren’s house is absolutely beautiful in person and incredibly huge. I can’t even imagine living there!! Unfortunately LC’s house is located on a private road in a gated community, so you can’t drive by it.

LC’s guard shack – the only thing that can stop a stalker.

Another location I was also pretty intent on finding was Golden Spoon, the frozen yogurt spot where Kristin and a friend met for dessert and she talked about the pasta she made Steven for dinner the night before and how it “smelled like feet.” I recognized this spot right away when we drove down Broadway to Downtown Laguna.

Pasta Pomodoro, the site of every single date that ever took place on Laguna Beach is located just a few blocks away on Forest Aveune. It must be the only restaurant in Laguna that allows cameras. 🙂

Until next time, Happy Stalking!

Stalk It: LC’s guardshack is located at 32350 Coast Highway, at the corner of Vista Del Sol, a couple miles south of Downtown Laguna. I would recommend parking across the street and a little bit north from the guard shack for the best views of the house. The actual house is located at 29 Vista Del Sol. The Golden Spoon and Pomodoro are both located in Downtown Laguna, at 272 Broadway St. and 234 Forest Avenue, respectively.
