Celebrity Kart Racing Toy Drive – Dec 2007

Celebrity Racing? Sounds like a possible new reality TV format. Get a bunch of Z-list celebs (bound to include one of the seemingly endless supply of Baldwins, Buseys and Kardashians), each desperate to revive a long-dead/start career, strap a saddle and reins to them and get members of the public to ride them around a course. It’ll be on your screens before you know it. That’s a very frightening thought.

But enough of that. Instead, we return to our Gallery updates themed around things that dominated our A-List lady’s public appearances in 2007: the Monte Carlo TV Festival, motor racing and promoting the movie Resurrecting The Champ. This time we’re back to the motor racing.

In 2007 Kathryn became an investor in the Pole Position Raceway indoor kart track in Murrieta, California which opened in August of that year. In December the company held charity events at each of their four sites to raise money for underprivileged children through the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation. Kathryn attended the one at the Corona, California kart facility.

Just added to the Gallery are 16 photos (various sizes and qualities, several in larger sizes than seen before) of Kathryn taking part.

I must thank Debbie at Pole Position Raceway for her help and photos.

Monte Carlo TV Festival Reception – June 2007

Have you heard the one about the Prince and the showgirls?

After the recent success (multiple Oscar and BAFTA nominations and recipient of many awards already) of the movie My Week With Marilyn, which is based on the time Marilyn Monroe came to England to film The Prince And The Showgirl, they will be making a sequel. That’s Hollywood for you. It will be called The Prince And The Showgirls: I’m Back! This time Elsie’s great-granddaughter (Kathryn) meets Prince Albert of Monaco at a TV festival and tries reconcile him with his estranged son. So far, so predictable. The twist is that helping Elsie in her endeavours is a beautiful blonde cyborg (Kristanna Loken). These images were taken on the set. It’s got hit (with a silent ‘S’) written all over it!

OK, not really I said in a previous post that two things dominated Kathryn’s 2007 public appearances: promoting the movie Resurrecting The Champ and motor sport. And the Monte Carlo Television Festival. For this update we are opening door number three.

Kathryn attended a cocktail party reception at the Monaco Palace hosted by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco in June of 2007. As you can see actress Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3) and American royalty/occasional president Dennis Haysbert (“24”) were also there.

Kathryn, of course, looks fabulous in a dress that is dangerously close to some form of undergarment. I wish she’d (un)dress like that more often 😉

Kristanna and Kathryn know each from working together on Pensacola: Wings Of Gold. Their characters ended up sharing a house. Oh, imagine the pillow fights 😉

As usual we don’t do things the easy way around here, and we try and bring you best that’s available, so the main image above is around 3 times (or is it 9?) larger in size than previously seen anywhere. All 3 photos are now available in the Gallery.

Revival House Trademark A Step Closer

A few weeks ago I posted about how the name of Kathryn’s new production company, Revival House, had been “approved for publication” as a trademark.

Although every word of the piece was true, and still is, in light of new information the headline and tone was a little misleading. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I’m no expert (clearly!) in trademark law and should have researched the meaning of the phrase further before posting. Apologies for any confusion caused. Mea culpa.

To clarify the situation: a recent update in the process suggests to me that “approved for publication” actually means that the chosen name cleared basic checks to search for any obvious clashes with other organisations in the same field. That’s the “approved” part. The next step is “publication”.

A couple of weeks ago “notification of publication” was issued stating that the “mark” will be included in the Official Gazette, the weekly journal of the USPTO (United States Patent And Trademark Office) that details filed applications. This is done to allow for 3rd parties to raise issues. Any opposition has to be put forward within 30 days of the publication. It is the “speak now or for ever hold your peace” moment. Revival House will be include in the Feb 14th edition.

Being a fan of Kathryn is educational. Who knew?

For those interest in the details you can them on the Trademarkia website.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHRYN!

We don’t do a lot of shouting around these parts but some things need yelling from the rooftops

Kathryn, best wishes to you from everyone here at KM UK. We hope you have a wonderful day.

The full version of amei‘s wallpaper seen above includes wonderfully chosen lyrics from Rock & Roll Queen by The Subways. I’m going to be cheeky and borrow some of them as they are so appropriate:

You are the sun
You are the only one
You are so cool
You are so rock and roll

And to lower the tone back to my usual level: A variation on the saying “you are only as old as you feel” gets bandied about on these occasions so it would be remiss of me to not slip in a “if you want to feel a few years younger, I’m available.” 😉

Birthday Fan Art – January 2012 – Update x2

Happy Kathryn Birthday Eve

As I’m sure you all know tomorrow is Kathryn’s birthday, but today we get to declare the Fan Art Video section of the KM UK Gallery open. Sound of ribbon being cut. Polite applause. Cheese and wine consumed.

New girl Katie‘s promo video, which we posted about earlier this week, is our first exhibit. Thanks to Katie for getting us off to a great start.

Lolly and Katie have provided wallpapers, some with a birthday theme to help mark Kathryn’s big day. Birthday fan art from previous years is still in the Gallery, of course.

If you create Kathryn-related fan art (wallpapers, banners, avatars, buttons, drawings or videos) and would like to showcase it here on KM UK please contact me.

Update: Thank you to amei for sending a lovely additional image (left thumbnail below).

Update 2: And another thank you to Kareen T for creating a great collection of 7 new wallpapers (see the middle thumbnail below for one of them).
