Kathryn @ Harry Potter Japanese Première – June 2007

harry_potter_japan_78Cold Case might be big in Japan.  Kathryn might be big in Japan.  However, in June of 2007 Kathryn’s dresses certainly weren’t  :-)

The day before the Cold Case promo event in Tokyo (posted about last month), in which Kathryn wore a very slight number, she was strutting her stuff on the red carpet in something of similar surface area.  Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, which I believe was the 5th in the enormously successful series, received its world-wide première in Japan on June 28th 2007, almost a week before the UK event.  Am I the only person in the world to have never read an HP book?

harry_potter_japan_003Our look back through 2007 has had a multitude of recurring themes (Resurrecting The Champ, premières, Cold Case, festivals and motor sport amongst them).  Now we have to add short dresses.  With this event, the Cold Case promo, the Monte Carlo TV Festival reception, the Vegas GP Gala and the Resurrecting The Champ première it must have been one of the shortest years on record! :-)

Anyway, Kathryn looks great with her hair up in her very complicatedly colourful dress.  Very glam.

We have just 3 photos for our first posting on this event, but 2 of them you may not have seen before.  They are in the Gallery now.

Thanks to Megapixie for number 3 (the one on the right).

Kathryn @ Fred Claus Première – November 2007

fred_claus_78It’s early March 2012 so what could be more appropriate than photos of Kathryn attending the première of the movie Fred Claus in November 2007  :-)

We return to our look back of Kathryn’s public appearances in 2007.  It’s not a festival.  It’s not motor racing.  It’s not even related to Resurrecting The Champ.  It did involve promoting a movie though, just not one she actually starred in, so we’ve not strayed too far from our recurring themes :-)

Kathryn looks great in her simple jeans, t-shirt, jacket and back ensemble.  Throw in an equally understated makeup finish and you’ve got near perfection.  Such a natural beauty.

To add to the 63 photos we already had there are 14 more mixed-sized photos in the Gallery.

Kathryn @ CC Promo Event In Tokyo – June 2007

cc_promo_tokyo_004“Wow” I hear you say.  And say it you should, though “WOWOW” would be more appropriate :-)

So far in our look back to Kathryn’s public appearances in 2007 we’ve covered a variety of recurring and often interlinking topics.  This time we introduce two more: Cold Case and Japan.

Although both of those themes are different from those we’ve discussed before (motorsport, Resurrecting The Champ and the Monte Carlo TV festival) it still sort of ties-in.  This is like a festival, it’s about TV and the car Kathryn drove in Long Beach (a Toyota) was Japanese.

In early summer of 2007, 29th of June to be precise, Kathryn was in Tokyo to promote Cold Case on the WOWOW TV network in Japan.  In case you are unable to I’ve read what it says on the end of those cardboard file boxes pictured behind Kathryn and deduced that they are talking about Cold Case season 3.  I know, I’m a fricking genius! :-)

cc_promo_tokyo_030What can I say about that outfit?  OK, let me re-phrase that.  What can I say about that outfit that won’t get me in trouble?  Kathryn, of course, looks stunning in her almost lighter-than-air pink dress, brown and green scarf(?), and strappy silver shoes, but it is those legs that really steal the show.  Wowowza!  I’m not sure that the very short dress was chosen with the knowledge that she’d sitting on a high stool on a stage though.  If any of our Japanese readers were sitting in the front row and had their cameraphone with them please contact me 😉  Seriously.  Call me!

Amazingly this event has evaded the KM UK Gallery since opening but we’ve put that right in style today with 48 medium-sized photos added to the Gallery.  We still have a huge amount of other updates planned.

If you’d like to see that outfit in action you can see brief clips of Kathryn entering the venue for this event at the beginning of several videos we have of promotional interviews she did for WOWOW TV.  They are in the Gallery here.  We have rabi to thank for them.

Kathryn @ Toyota Pro/Celeb Race – April 2007

toyota_race_day_16We return to our multi-stranded theme of updates covering Kathryn’s public appearances in 2007.

This time the chosen event only takes in just one of the subjects that seemed to dominate the year: motorsport.

Each April the Grand Prix Of Long Beach, a weekend of motorsport headlined by the IndyCar Series, has a special Toyota Pro/Celebrity race in aid of charities supporting local children’s hospitals.  Amazingly this has been going since the 70s.  As the name suggests the household names from TV and film compete against established racers from a variety of disciplines of motorsport.  The cars they use are near-standard Toyota road cars.  The celebs are given toyota_race_day_17training prior to being let loose around the California street circuit on race day.

In 2007 Kathryn was invited to take part in the race along with, amongst others, tennis superstar Martina Navratilova, Emily Proctor (CSI: Miami), Kelly Hu (Martial Law), Aisha Tyler (Friends), Robin Quivers (Howard Stern), George Lucas (Star Wars) and Kendra Wilkinson (Girls Next Door).  As you can see there were a significant number of women in the field that year.  At the end of the 8 lap race Kathryn finished in 13th (of 17) which is the same position she started in, which shows sensible consistency.

The race formed part of an episode of the freak show that was “Girls Next Door” featuring Kendra Wilkinson, which we dealt with over 2 years ago here on KM UK.

For this update we have added 19 photos to the Gallery of various sizes and quality.  The NAPA 200 event update a few weeks ago was headlined by a special photo by Eric Gilbert.  This time we are grateful Eric again, this time for allowing us to use two great photos by Earl Ma, also of Motorsport.com.  You can see the pair of images showcased above.  Sadly, Earl passed away a few weeks after the 2007 event.

KM UK Awards 2012

RichE MedalIt’s effected/affected everyone to some degree or other.  Sadly even the KM UK Awards are not immune to the global financial crisis.

Belts must be tightened.  No diamond-studded Ferrari’s for the bankers this year.  The little ‘RichE’ statuettes have been melted down to make gold watches for their bonuses.  Don’t worry, they’ll get their normal bonuses next year for (not) screwing things up again.  Instead we’ve had to resort using the silver medals that Team Great Britain (and Northern Ireland) won’t be winning at this year’s London Olympics.  We’ve even had to sell the red carpet (which would have been white anyway due to current the whether in England), so no parading up and down in inappropriately skimpy clothing for the time of year ladies.  And, the budget will no longer cover the legions of scriptwriters, so don’t expect the usual comedy gold either.  Sorry.

All the press attention might be going on the upcoming Oscars and this weekend’s BAFTAs but even in their reduced form these are the awards everyone really wants.  Ladies and gentlemen, the Kathryn Morris UK Awards 2012.
