 A quick bit of Googling has turned up some information about the film Confections Of A Discarded Women which Kathryn has apparently been signed to star in.
- Kathryn’s character might be called Desiree Harper – how appropriate 😉
- James Best, best known as Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane on The Dukes Of Hazzard is said to co-star.
- Filming is due to be from the 4th to the 24th of June this year, that’s next Monday.
- The shoot is taking place at Castel Film Studios and on location in Bucharest, Romania.
- Director Michael Damian co-wrote the script with his wife Janeen. Michael is best known for an acting stint on soap opera The Young And The Restless but has also turned his hand to song writing, with some of his work appearing on the soundtrack of Flicka 2.
- Confections… is being made for the US TV Hallmark Channel.
- The première date is set for 2013.

We are still waiting for official confirmation of Kathryn’s participation in the film. We’ll let you know as soon as we have it.
Update (1 June 2012): Sadly it looks we all missed out on the opportunity to appear in a film that will probably star our Kathryn. Damn! I’ll explain. The Charitybuzz website had an auction in aid of The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis. This was done online over a few days in mid-May. One of the items up for bidding was a speaking role in Confections… The winner would be required to spend a couple of days in Romania, being a charity thing you’d have to pay your own expenses. You can find all the details over on the Charitybuzz website.
Also, in the past 24 hours the IMDb page for Confections… has been updated to include Irish actor Stephen Hogan in what I assume is role of the the lead character’s husband.
Update 2 (2 June 2012): Jane March (The Lover, Color Of Night), Alister Mackenzie and Catherine Hammond have been added to the cast list on IMDb. I presume that Jane March’s Lana is the acupuncturist that Desiree’s husband leaves her for.
 Jeff Sneider at Variety is reporting that Kathryn is due to star in a new movie called Confections of a Discarded Woman. Yes, that says “confections”. This is great news for all of us that have been missing her so much.
Confections Of A Discarded Woman is said to be a rom-com produced by the Motion Picture Corporation Of America and directed by Michael Damian (Flicka 2).
To quote from Variety:
Morris will star as a pampered Manhattan housewife who has it all until her husband unexpectedly dumps her for his acupuncturist. Faced with an airtight pre-nup, protag lands a job making cupcakes at her father’s bakery in Hackensack, where she discovers that true love can be even sweeter on the other side of the Hudson.
Production will start next week in Bucharest, Romania.

More when we get it.
 Over at the Bleacher Report website ‘Featured Columnist’ Thomas Delatte has put a little list together. You know the sort of thing: a top 10 or 100 of the best/worst/favourite/most hated things in a particular category.
Such lists are, of course, very subjective and prone to some odd entries based purely on the preferences of the writer. This particular list stretches the whole idea to near breaking point though.
Thomas’s list is titled The 100 Hottest Sports Babes from Movies and TV. Skipping past the rather un-PC “babes” we find a list of 100 actress that have starred in… you’ll never guess… movies and TV with sports-related themes.
I can’t really quibble with the ladies chosen or the order they’ve been placed in as it is down to the writer’s own tastes, though obviously I do have something of an issue with Kathryn’s lowly 98th place 😕
Kathryn earns her spot on the list based on having a role in Resurrecting The Champ, a film with some boxing in it. Her female co-stars Teri Hatcher and Rachel Nichols also make the list, though somewhat higher up. Teri at 72 (26 higher, really?) and Rachel makes the top 5.
My beef with the list relates to its title and the incredibly loose interpretation of movies and TV shows in the sports genre going far beyond the odd rogue entry. The title “Sports Babes…” implies that the women are playing sports stars themselves, which in most cases they are not. Few would argue that Invictus and Days Of Thunder are sports movies but The Love Guru? OK, there’s a hockey player but it strikes me as just an excuse to shoe-horn Jessica Alba in. Thomas must feel that he is on shaky ground with Fight Club as he has to stress that it is a sports movie. It’s not. And I’d put Jerry Maguire (which doesn’t star Kathryn, despite what some biogs say) on a similar level to Resurrecting The Champ (which does) in regard to the sporting content. Yes, sports are the background to them but they are not really sports films. If Kathryn’s scenes had made into Moneyball then things could have been different. Her beach volleyball scenes in Pensacola: Wings Of Gold might have been more appropriate. Quite why I’m arguing for Kathryn to be struck from the list I’m not sure 😕
Anyway, the whole thing is very tenuous. Much like this post 
And there are no cricket themed movies in the list either.
 Actor, singer-songwriter, and one of Kathryn’s co-stars in the short film Sunday’s Mother, Riley Smith has done an interview with the website Honest Reviews Corner.
The interview is primarily about the music side of Riley’s career with his band “The Life Of Riley” and their new album “By The Way”. However, one of the questions regards Riley attending the Newport Beach Film Festival, host to the première of Sunday’s Mother. Here is what he had to say when asked what the event was like:
I’ve been to the festival before. It was fun. I did a short film called ‘Sunday’s Mother’ for a really great producer and director. I played Kathryn Morris’s love interest. She was fantastic. I think the movie turned out great. It was fun to watch everyone else’s shorts. There were like 8 shorts shown as a whole screening of shorts. It was really moving. As an artist, I loved being able to support other movie makers.
Don’t you just hate some talented and successful people 😉
It is only a brief mention but it’s the only one we’ve found so far. The interview in full can found at the Honest Reviews Corner website HERE. I don’t know who conducted the interview but thanks to them.
 Not sure how this one passed me by.
As luck would have it it ties with the many-themed 2007 posts we’ve been running.
Back in February, the 13th to be precise, the movie Resurrecting The Champ was released on DVD here in Great Britain. If IMDb is to be believed (and I’ve no reason not to) then this is the first official release of RTC in the UK. Quite why it has taken 5 years is unknown. And why did Momentum Pictures choose now to release it?
Anyway, what we have is the most basic of DVDs. It’s just the film. No extras. At least they haven’t claimed “interactive menus” (what else could a menu be?) as a feature! There is no accompanying Blu-ray version either. Reflecting the limited nature of the package is the low cost, it’s a cheap £6.49 (~US$10).
For those that don’t know RTC tells the tale of Erik (Josh Hartnet) a struggling newspaper sports reporter who comes across a now homeless ex-champion boxer (Samuel L Jackson). Erik seizes the opportunity to pen a potentially career-making article. Hilarity ensues. OK, it’s not so much with the hilarity.
 Kathryn plays Joyce, Erik’s estranged wife and mother of their son (Dakota Goyo). She is a little older than Erik, works for the same newspaper and, significantly, is a much more successful writer. You know how fragile the male ego can be. Kathryn’s role is not particularly big (somewhere between Minority Report and Cougars, Inc.) but her character is key. She sets the yardstick by which Erik measures his own success, is the prize Erik is really after (he wants to prove himself and become a proper father/husband) and is the moral centre of the movie.
This is another Rod Lurie directed film, one of several that has Kathryn had roles in. Alan Alda (M*A*S*H), Terri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives) and Rachel Nichols (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) also star.
You can buy Resurrecting The Champ on UK DVD from Amazon.co.uk and find newly added copies of the DVD cover and a poster in the Gallery.
