A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

miller_childrens_hospital_001This IS the broad you’re looking for.

Some of you will have seen this photo recently.  Some of you may even have had a good guess at the year it was taken.  But wouldn’t you like to know the full details?  KM UK uses the force to bring you all the info.

The year was 2007.  Kathryn, George Lucas and a host of other stars of stage, screen, magazine and sports arena were preparing to taken part in the annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity race that accompanies the Grand Prix of Long Beach.  The event is held to raise money for the Racing For Kids which supports children’s hospitals in Long Beach and the neighbouring Orange County, California.  A worthy cause we’re sure you’ll agree.

One of the hospitals to benefit from the fund raising (around $100,000 is said come from the Pro/Celebrity race) is the Miller Children’s Hospital in Long Beach.  On Thursday the 12th of April 2007, two days before the race Kathryn, George and a personal Star Wars Stormtropper escort visited MCH.  The man in the white plastic suit is Michael Bender, aka TK6682.  Michael’s own Facebook page is here.

You can now find the full photo in the Gallery.

We’d like to thank Michael for allowing KM UK to post his photo and for the details of the event, the ladies of the Star Wars Sorority for their assistance and Kathy for the heads-up.

KM UK Awards 2013

RichE MedalThe recession continues to bite around the world and there has been a version of the double-dip in the KM world too.  For the second year running there has been very little to work with and that affects the KM UK Awards too.

Last year’s pessimism proved very much unfounded, but the unexpected success at the Olympics by Team GB (and those from Northern Ireland that wanted to join in) has meant the availability of medals has dropped significantly.  We were very nearly forced to just use ribbons left over from the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee as awards.  Luckily there were a lot unsold “I ♡ UK” souvenir teddy bears left over from the tourist traps outside the Olympic park so we have combined the two to create a very unique award: the “I ♡ KM UK” teddy bear 2013.  We’re calling him ‘RichE’ in honour of our fearless leader, it seems very appropriate.  Trust us, all the big awards ceremonies like the forthcoming BAFTAs and Oscars (we’ve beaten them again!) will now be kicking themselves for not thinking of this.  Look out for the BearFTAs and Bears next year :-)

Kathryn’s film work during 2012 did not/will not see the light of day until this year, making it ineligible for the awards until next year.  It’s going to make the 2013 awards tricky to say the least.  2014 should be in much better shape.

Due to budget constraints we can’t afford a big Hugh Jackman-style song and dance number.  Or a collection of Ricky Gervais put downs.  We can’t even put enough pennies together for Beyonce to mime over the Cold Case theme tune.  We will not lower ourselves to using the latest X Factor oxygen thief, which we probably can afford.  Instead please just watch a few minutes of Pierce Brosnan singing in Mamma Mia! (their exclamation mark) as it sets the (lack of) tone :-)  Don’t make the mistake of trying Piers Morgan *spit* instead.  We don’t want him back!  Off we go…

Kathryn @ Fashion Girls For Humanity: Sandy Benefit

sandy_benefit_002Kathryn has clearly been in a very charitable mood of late.  Quick, someone ask her for a few bucks! :-)

Today (Saturday, 15th December 2012) Kathryn attended a Fashion Girls For Humanity (FGFH) event in aid of the victims of hurricane Sandy, which hit the Eastern Seaboard of the US of A last month.

FGFH, originally founded in the wake of the Japanese Tsunami of 2011, continues to raise money for good causes by organising sales of clothing donated by top fashion labels.  You can read more about the FGFH on their website.  Looks like Kathryn bought a few bags-worth.  Hopefully we’ll get to see the results of the shopping sometime soon.

sandy_benefit_001So far we have a couple of photos of Kathryn at the event now in the Gallery.  We’ll add more if we get them.

Thanks to HATCh, Inc. for the heads-up and first photo (left), and to FGFH for the second one (above).  And thanks to those KM fans that also contacted KM UK so we could share this with you.

Update (4 January 2013):  The photo on the left has been upgraded to a much larger version.

A Backwards Step Up For Kathryn

step_up_womens_network_003A couple of weeks ago Kareen_T very kindly let us know about Kathryn appearing at the Step Up Women’s Network Stepping Up In The City event.  The previous post is here.

Kathryn attendestep_up_womens_network_002d one of several Step Up Women’s Network events taking place across the USA that day (14th November 2012) to celebrate the organisation’s 15th anniversary.  More were held in the following days.

Before we only managed to get one image of Kathryn at the event but yet again Kareen_T has proved she has a real knack for tracking down more.  Thanks to her beady eye we’re able to increase our collection of images from the event by a massive 200%.  Unfortunately that only means going from just one up to three :-)

Two more large photos are now in the Gallery courtesy of the SUWN Facebook page.

Kathryn Steps Out For Stepping Up

step_up_womens_network_001This one nearly got by us.

Thankfully the always eagle-eyed Kareen_T spotted it and passed it along.

On Wednesday (14th November 2012) Kathryn attended the Step Up Women’s Network Stepping Up In The City event.  It celebrated the start of the organisation’s 15th year with a get together for members.  Kathryn has been involved for at least 6 of those.

The Step Women’s Network is dedicated to helping girls through education programmes and encouraging collaborations between professional women.

You can see more details about the organisation on their website.

So far we only have one medium-sized photo (as seen above) which is now in the Gallery.
