Cougars Get A Makeover For The UK

What you see above could very well be the cover art for the UK DVD release of the movie Cougars, Inc.

Someone has obviously gone to some effort to do this rather than just take the version used in other parts of the world, such as the US. You do have to wonder why though.

The white background is the biggest change but there are others, both subtle and otherwise. Catalina Rodriguez (right) has undergone a body transplant with a severe neck twist. Can anyone name that body? Kathryn has been cut out of a darker part of the background, which complicates it, and the surgeon has perhaps been a bit over zealous with the scalpel. All three ladies have had changes made to their hair, mostly due to issues with cropping them from the original background. Kathryn in particular has gained some extra flowing locks. Headliner Denise Richards comes away from the experience almost unscathed.

Cougars, Inc. UK DVD Cat Out Of The Bag?

dvd_001 Just last week we brought you the news that Cougars, Inc. had not only been rated for a theatrical release in the UK but it had also, very briefly, had one. Over a whole four (yes, 4) days the film was shown in a small selection of cinemas across the UK, mostly in an early afternoon slot.

This led KM UK to find that the film was given its official age rating for cinema and video release back in January. All of which hinted at a possible DVD release in this country quite soon.

Now, Amazon’s UK website and the online presence of the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain are both offering the disc for pre-order prior to an April 15th launch. No sign of a Blu-ray version.

For those that haven’t gone for the German DVD or Blu-ray version, sold under the name Loverboys and includes an English audio track, since it was released way back in April 2011 your chance to pick up a Region 2 copy could be here in just 6 weeks.

We’ll post again on this as the time approaches.

Fan Art Update – February 2013

We combined the last fan art update with Kathryn’s birthday celebrations, pushing it late in the month of January. February is a short month but we will just squeeze in some more of your art works before its end.

As we held these over from January because they were not birthday-themed the creators should be happy to see them finally getting posted. Not surprisingly given the release of The Sweeter Side Of Life last month, and the better than-anywhere-else screencaps from it posted here on KM UK, all the new images are themed around the film.

Dianekmfan leads the way with 14 new Banners with Kathy joining in with 2 new collage Wallpapers. Thank you to them both. This latest 16 images brings KM UK’s Fan Art Gallery collection to over 700 items (including avatars, banners, buttons, drawings, videos and wallpapers) and that is all thanks to our dedicated and talented visitors. Check out the Gallery to see them.

If you have made some Kathryn-related Fan Art and want to share it with other fans here on KM UK please contact us.

Cougars Go Wild Then Recaged In UK

It only took two years, which when you get to cougar-age is not to be taken lightly, but the movie Cougars, Inc. finally received a cinema release here in the UK. We use the past tense “released” because it appears to have been, done and gone, and left to do the walk of shame after a four day fling last week in just a handful of cinemas across England. We doubt it troubled the box office. The information of this release managed to pass KM UK by.

The British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC), the body that issues all films with their official age ratings for the UK market, gave Cougars, Inc. its 15 certificate for feature (cinema) and video (DVD and VOD) at the end of January. Another fact that passed us by.

That the film was submitted for classification (where it received no cuts so will be the same as the US version) and given a theatrical run, albeit a very brief one, does suggest that an official DVD release may be imminent. We’ll keep you posted.

For those few unfamiliar with Cougars, Inc. it is about Sam (Kyle Gallner, in the middle in above photo) and his mis- and miss-adventures. He’s a teen that tends to get into trouble and has been moved to another new school by his mother in the hope of a fresh start. Only mummy can’t pay the expensive fees. Stood-up on his first date with a girl he’s just met Sam takes solace in a bar, where he bumps into Kathryn’s Alison. A morning-after thank you monetary gift to help with his school from said cougar gives Sam’s friends a plan to make more cash from other bored and wealthy women. Hijinks ensue. We’d like to be able to tell you it is a heart-warming tale about lonely souls finding each other, but we can’t.

Kathryn @ Deer Valley Skifest – December 2007 – Update

Even all this time the year 2007 is still proving fertile ground for Kathryn sightings. Just two weeks ago we covered another one that had come to our attention.

In what must have been one of the most hectic years in Kathryn’s life she managed to squeeze in over 30 public appearances, filming the equivalent of a whole season of Cold Case (the end of season 4 and the beginning of 5), and she filmed her scenes for The Assassination Of A High School President. That’s quite a journey. However, if you only looked at where Kathryn started and ended 2007 you’d almost think she hadn’t moved at all.

Mid-January 2007 saw Kathryn attend the Sundance Film Festival to promote her latest project, the movie Resurrecting The Champ starring Josh Hartnett and Samuel L Jackson. Sundance is held in Park City, Utah every year. In early December 2007 Kathryn was back in Park City, but this time it was for the annual Skifest event in the nearby Deer Valley resort.

The Skifest is a pro-celebrity skiing contest in aid of Waterkeeper Alliance, an organisation dedicated to protecting clean water sources around the world. It is held every year in early December and marks the start of the ski season and the opening of the resort. Alongside the actual skiing there are a lot of après-ski events such as a musical concert given by one of the celebrity guests. The event has it’s own website here.

It hasn’t been particularly easy to narrow the event to 2007 as Kathryn has not featured much and lots of the celebrities have attended multiple times, making it difficult to guess the year. After some exhaustive searching we are now certain of the year. Kathryn does not appear to have taken part in the skiing competition that forms the backbone of the event. Instead she was there to support the stars of other CBS TV shows Dylan Bruno from Numb3rs (above left) and Eric Close from Without A Trace (above right). CBS covers the Skifest with a highlights/infomericial show a week or two later. The photo below left shows Kathryn being interviewed by someone from CBS. If you have a copy of the TV show from 2007 then please contact us.

In the the Gallery there is now 3 pictures from the event and a page from the December 2008 edition of CBS’s Watch magazine. The magazine photo is just an illustration for the mention of the upcoming 2008 event. Yes, we know, 3 of the 4 are basically the same image just cropped differently. Beggars can’t be choosers and all that.

Thank you to Kareen_T for persevering in contacting KM UK about this.

Update (22 Feb 2013): We have an extra photo to add to the Gallery (the right-hand thumbnail below). The very visible time-stamp confirms that it was taken on the 12th of September 2007. Wait! What? Damn Americans and their bizarre date formats! It’s the 9th of December really.
