LHK Sporting News
1) Argh! Arsenal lost to Man U today, which isn't the help that Chelsea needed from Arsenal in their EPL title race.
2) Fortunately, Chelsea have a game in hand and play Wigan tomorrow (April 14th on Setanta at 11am PST).
3) Congrats to the U.S. Davis Cup team on beating France in the quarterfinals today! AND, good luck to them in the semi-finals against Spain in September (in Spain on clay)!
4) Speaking of tennis, slumping champion Roger Federer has enlisted the help of Jose Higueras, who up until this weekend was coaching my beloved Robby Ginepri. What the hell, Roger?

Random LHK News
1) Just got back from seeing STREET KINGS. It was pretty bad, and we actually left about a half-hour in and got a refund (sorry, Slaters). Well, at least, we saw Keanu looking foxy in his cop uniform.
2) If you're a Pete Yorn fan, he has a new song up on iTunes. "Old Boy" is a part of the Green Owl compilation, with proceeds going towards "Energy Action".
3) BIG GAME tomorrow: Arsenal vs. Manchester United (Sunday, April 13th on FSC at 8am PST). As a Chelsea FC fan, I'll be rooting EXTREMELY hard for the Gunners!
4) Bill's sister Lori is selling some fun bracelets on Etsy; check them out!
5) I've tried a couple more new flavored waters.
- BORBA has that fancy skin care line of flavored water out now, which is like VitaminWater (but without the calories, sugar and carbs). I tried the Pomegranate Clarifying flavor, which was delicious. But, at $3.50 a bottle, I don't think I'll be buying much of it.
- In it's place, just try the Whole Foods 365 brand Strawberry Lemon Sparkling Mineral Water. Lady Stacy turned me on to it, and it's really lovely and refreshing!
6) RANDOM! Arctic Monkeys covering Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good"; love it!
7) The OC Weekly printed my little comment about the EJL article I had mentioned last week; thanks for the heads-up, Dogg!

LHK Tennis Update
Meyowza! Robby Ginepri and other foxy tennis lads are all dolled up in the current issue of OCEAN DRIVE magazine.

More Important But...
I know there are more important things in the world, but...
1) Chelsea thankfully won their Champions League quarterfinal against Fenerbache on Tuesday! They will meet Liverpool (again!) in the semi-finals. Now, I will NOT speak of specific past Liverpudlian atrocities against us on this blog, but all I can say is that I look forward to Chelsea's sweet revenge on their way to the Champions League final. Ya hear me, Laddie McFresh!
2) On a similar note, bravo to the Wimbledon Chief for encouraging soccer to embrace technology the way that the sport of tennis has...
3) What do you think of the new Madonna single "4 Minutes" featuring Justin Timberlake? Of course, I bought it, but I'm sort of getting annoyed with Timbaland's production style. In any case, I'm looking forward to hearing the other songs (with other producers) on her new album Hard Candy
(which comes out on April 29th).
4) I went to a friend's b-day dinner the other night at a chic new place in WeHo called Palihouse (a boutique extended stay hotel). We dined in the hotel's brasserie, and overall, it was okay (but a tad pricey). I'd still recommended checking the place out though, at least for drinks and snacks at the bar. The fries are delicious, and the cocktail menu is surprisingly unique (being the Anglophile that I am, I loved the "Pimm's Cup" drink).

The Prince of Persia!
There's a showbiz rumor going around that Orlando Bloom is going to star in a movie trilogy called THE PRINCE OF PERSIA (based on a popular video game)! Hmmm...
You know, years ago, when I saw Orlando's "Kingdom of Heaven" with my Dad (it's a two-birds/one-stone situation to combine an eye-candy/action flick with the Pops), he did say that Orlando look liked all the boys in Iran. I, of course, laughed off my Dad's comment at the time, but now I'm thinking "Sign me up!"

The Champions!
Chelsea takes on Fenerbahce in the second-leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final match-up (on Setanta at 11:30am PST). Thankfully, this game is at home at Stamford Bridge.
COME ON, CHELSEA!
New Music (&DVD) Tuesday
First of all, I just wanted to mention a song that I'm really digging lately by The Raveonettes called "You Want the Candy" from their most current album Lust Lust Lust.
It's definitely going in my collection of "pretty"/"baby"/"candy"/"lady" songs.
As far as new releases, some of the albums below have already been released digitally, but the physical CD comes out today.

Review Round-Up
First of all, a hearty congrats to Nikolay Davydenko on winning the Sony Ericsson Open today and beating Andy Roddick and Rafa Nadal along the way (sorry, Lady Lorelei).
Okay so, I've been accumulating several reviews that I've been wanting to share with y'all, and I thought I'd just put them in one post:
1) First and foremost, I'd like to introduce you to TWIST water, a new all natural flavored water with only 10 calories per serving and no preservatives. As you may know, my tennis nickname is "Twisty", so of course, I really dig the name of this product. But in addition to the cute name and company motto ("As in life, chill for best results."), I really like the variety of exotic flavors that this water comes in (mango acai, pomegranate blueberry, and mandarin white tea to name a few). All of my friends who have tried TWIST agree that the subtle flavors are delicious and refreshing. My favorite flavor BY FAR is the organic West Indies Lime, and although I wish it didn't have the 2 grams of sugar (aka organic agave nectar) per serving in it, I'm seriously on the hunt for more of it (maybe 'cause it reminds me of a healthy water version of a Cuba Libre?). TWIST is sold at select Ralphs and Whole Foods, so keep your eye out for it. I recommend it, and YES, it's LADY HOOLIGAN APPROVED!
2) Last week, Bill and I finally got back to our movie-going and saw STOP-LOSS (starring Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Abbie Cornish and Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Overall, it was a decent flick. THE PROS: (obviously) the eye-candy, Ryan and Joseph's impressive performances, fellow tennis playa Timothy Olyphant is in it, and the general awareness-raising on the horrendous stop-loss policy of the U.S. military. THE CONS: not understanding Abbie's Texan accent, some music-video-style direction (well, it's a MTV Films co-production after all), some general cheeziness and (for me, not Bill) not enough perspective on the Middle-Eastern view on the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
3) Recently, some folks from work and I had lunch at a cute and casual sidewalk cafe called PRANA (located on the corner La Cienega and Melrose Place, adjacent to its sister restaurant/club, Republic). It's open for breakfast and lunch, and the food is delicious. In addition to yummy soups and paninis, they have Cap'n Crunch coated deep-fried brioche french toast! I really recommend this place because the food is so much better and about the same price than most of those crowded and somewhat overrated cafes on 3rd Street (e.g. TOAST).
4) Finally, back on the movie tip (yes, I still use 90's hip-hop lingo), Bill, Lady Stacy and I saw LEATHERHEADS today. As you may know, I'm a big John Krasinski (from "The Office") fan. So, I only wanted to see this because of him, and Bill and Lady Stacy both dig George Clooney. But, although it was lovely to see John Krasinki smiling on the big screen, I thought the movie was kind of boring, hokey and slightly lame. So, if you want to see it at all, perhaps just rent it?
