Kathryn Gets Juiced

silver_lake_juice_bar_001Recently I was window shopping…  No, it was online so that should be Windows shopping… but on a Mac.  Finder shopping?  OK, forget the whole window/Windows thing because the analogy soon falls apart.

Anyway, whilst browsing I stumbled across the Silver Lake Juice Bar website.  Not surprisingly it is the website of a juice bar, in Silver Lake, called Silver Lake Juice Bar.  The image you see above is how the front page of the website of this juice bar in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles looks.  The eagle-eyed amongst you will have already spotted it.  For those that haven’t: look again, more closely this time.  Yes, “New locations coming soon!”  I know, it’s amazing right?

silver_lake_juice_bar_002No, of course I’m talking about the fact a photo of Kathryn appears in the top left corner.  She has given the juice bar her blessing and a statement in writing to prove it.  The testimonial talks about the time she spent in Romania for the filming of The Sweeter Site Of Life, the effect that returning to a more typical American diet had on her, and the positive change caused by products from this shop.  Exactly when this appeared on the website is not clear but it must have been towards the end of last year (2012).

It has to be said that the photo of Kathryn they have used (new to me) is perhaps not the best one to promote a healthy life style.  Unless it is the ‘before’ photo :-)

A copy of the text of the testimonial can be found below.  It ends with Kathryn having something of a Victor Kiam moment.  If you don’t know who Victor is go ask a grown-up.

Even More The Coin On Set Photos

on_set_20120703_011The gentlemen on left in the photo above is Fabien Mortorell.  He’s the director, a co-writer and a co-producer of the short film The Coin.  The 9 minute long movie also stars Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future).

Obviously he is a man of great taste because he chose Kathryn to star in his film (or maybe she has some dirt on him 😮 ) but he is also a very helpful man.  “What makes you say that?”  I hear you ask.  I’ll tell you.

Back in December Fabien very kindly contacted KM UK directly to let us know about a new Facebook page he’s created for the film (we had actually found it already, shortly after it was created :-) ).  Not only that but Fabien and Kathryn have allowed KM UK to share with you the set of on set photos posted there.  There is now a link to the FB page in the menu on the right.

Twelve, count ’em, photos (and one previous one updated to a slightly larger version) of Kathryn and co. on the set of The Coin are now in the Gallery.

Many thanks to Fabien and Kathryn.

We hope to bring you more news on this project soon.

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…
