Hollywood A-List Wannabe Lesson #69: Stage a Paparazzi Shot at a Budget Motel

Where: 11811 Ventura Blvd [map], Studio City, CA, United States, 91604

Really, Annalynne McCord and Kellan Lutz? You think people care about your on-off relationship that much that you have to go to a budget motel in the Valley to have a secret rendezvous?

The duo who reportedly broke up two weeks ago decided they had to see each other again and the only place good enough was apparently the Carlton Motor Lodge in Studio City.

Well, we're here to dispel that notion, especially since the Sportsmen's Lodge has recently undergone a renovation thanks to the new ownership of the Joie De Vivre Hotels Group. That's a good thing considering the hotel was starting to show its age. It was first opened 47 years ago and used to play host to the likes of Clark Gable when it used to be a fishing lodge, and Robert Kennedy stayed there the night before his assassination.
