Pay your respects to Scarlett Johansson's pet fish
In an article that describes how you and I--the commonfolk--can "do" L.A. like a star, Scarlett Johansson discusses how she sold her California mansion to move into the world-famous Chateau Marmont. The hotel is rich with history (John Belushi died in one of the bungalows) and continues to be rich with celebs, who treat the Sunset Boulevard landmark like their home away from home.
How much like home is the Chateau Marmont to Scarlet? You can pay respects to her pet goldfish at the hotel--Scarlet buried her deceased goldfish in the hotel garden.
You can usually visit Scarlet's goldfish anytime, but not during Oscar week! Around award time, rooms go for no less than $435 and you have to know the right people to get past security. (Sadly, I am not among the right people to know.) Visit any other time, and the Chateau Marmont is a bargain at $335. That squeezes my budget, but it's worth it--lounge in the lobby and you may see Jessica Simpson, Jude Law, Keira Knightley, or Brad Pitt.
