Suck it, Liverpool!!!

Bravo Chelsea on beating Liverpool and making it to our first ever Champions League FINAL!!!! To quote my friend and fellow Chelsea fanatic, Ivan, "That's why we're Champions!!"

The Champions!

Words cannot express my feelings today as Chelsea takes on Liverpool in the (unbelievably important) 2nd-leg of their Champions League semi-final match (kick off at 11:45am PST on ESPN2). All I can say is

COME ON, CHELSEA!

and...

I love you, John Terry!

New Music (&DVD) Tuesday

Madonna's new album is out TODAY!!!

Of course, there are some other cool products out today too:

LHK Tennis Update

1) Apparently, Rafa Nadal won the doubles title in Monte Carlo too (along with his partner, the equally gorgeous, Tommy Robredo). Now, that's quite the foxy dream-team, and I can only imagine how distracting they would be to play against!

2) Unfortunately, Robby Ginepri lost in the first round of the Barcelona Open, which started today.

Random LHK News

1) Bravo to Rafa Nadal for beating Roger Federer (again) in the Monte Carlo Masters today and making history as well by becoming the only player to win the tourney 4 times in a row!

2) The crew and I saw BABY MAMA yesterday, and it was pretty much what I expected; funny and cute (but no fall out of your chair laughs). A hearty CONGRATS to the LADIES for hitting #1 at the box office!

3) Speaking of flicks, we're going to a catch-up movie today: BANK JOB. It was never at the top of our list, but we love us some Jason Statham.

4) NOT THE FACE! My beloved Freddie Ljungberg was injured yesterday in West Ham's game against Newcastle. Poor baby!

5) It's looking like the adorable Jimmy Fallon will officially be replacing Conan O'Brien in 2009! I can't wait!

Chelsea! Chelsea!

BRAVO, CHELSEA (on beating Man U today 2-1)!!!!

Chelsea and Candy

I only want to report on two of my favorite topics today (Chelsea and Candy):

1) Chelsea has a HUGE game tomorrow versus Manchester United. (Sat. 4/26 on Setanta at 4:30 am PST)

COME ON, CHELSEA!

2) Madonna's new album, HARD CANDY, was released early on MySpace today. Check it out!

My deepest condolences...

to Chelsea midfielder, Frank Lampard, on the passing of his dear Mum.

Lamps, I'm so sorry for your loss and send you and your family my best wishes from Los Angeles.

Weezah!

The new Weezer single "Pork and Beans" is out today!
Oooh, how very Steel Magnolias...

Random LHK News

1) Marat Safin lost to David Ferrer in the 2nd round of the Monte Carlo Masters today; that was a tough draw...

2) The other Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Barcelona takes place today (on ESPN2 at 11:30am PST). If I had a say, I'd probably rather see Chelsea take on Barcelona in the final 'cause I'm quite sick of Man U.

3) Some random music I've been digging lately:
LOOKER "Gates of the Old City/Help Me Roada" single:

DOES IT OFFEND YOU, YEAH? "You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into":


4) I just bought some super-cute jewelry pieces from my friend's fab line, burgerlove; check them out.

Suck it, Liverpool!!

BRAVO, CHELSEA (on getting that important away goal at Anfield today)!!!!!

The Champions!

Today IS Super Tuesday! Chelsea takes on Liverpool in the first leg of their semi-final UEFA Champions League clash (live on ESPN2 at 11:30am PST).

We're hell-bent on revenge, and we want a place in the final! Look out, Laddie McFresh!

COME ON, CHELSEA!!!!!!

P.S. I love you, John Terry!

Happy Birthday, Shimmy!

BTW, nice dubz playing on Saturday.

P.S. #1 This is the only cd I'm interested in today:

#2 HAPPY EARTH DAY too!

Random LHK News

1) Bravo to Danica Patrick for becoming the first female winner in IndyCar race history! Go, Lady!

2) The Monte Carlo Master Series starts tomorrow (well, tonight at 1am on Tennis Channel). It should be an exciting tourney. Marat Safin got a wild card into the tournament, and Rafa Nadal could become the first player in history to win it 4 times in row.

3) The gang and I had a lovely brunch today in San Juan Capistrano at a sweet little place called The Ramos House Cafe. If you're that area, I'd recommend it.

TOP 5 CHANGE!!

Emergency news (well, more like MIB aka "More Important But"): I've made a change to my Top 5 Hottest Playaz in the EPL list! Steven Gerrard, captain of Liverpool, is officially off my list! He doesn't deserve to be on the list, especially ahead of Chelsea's Champions League clash against Liverpool on Tuesday.

I don't care if the Chelsea manager, Avram Grant, is interested in "acquiring" Gerrard. I should never have had the Liverpool captain on THE LIST.

Speaking of the list, I've also removed Bobby Convey (U.S./Reading) just 'cause, but I'll be keeping Harry Kewell on the list. Even though Harry's on the Liverpool squad, he hasn't played much this season, and he's a cute Aussie. Hopefully, he won't be involved in any Champions League action...

Russell Brand

Now I'm quite intrigued with Russell Brand, and I did a little more research on him. He's apparently quite popular in the UK; he's got a radio show on BBC2 (check out the podcast) and a couple of books published too (one's a memoir and one's about football; he's a West Ham fan).


So, keep your eye out for him in the States. Among other projects, he's working on another Judd Apatow film with my beloved Jonah Hill!

Saturday Movie Review

Bill and I just got back from seeing FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, and I'm happy to report that it's hilarious! It's definitely worth seeing. I especially loved the performances of Jonah Hill (obviously), Russell Brand (the foxy English comedian), and Paul Rudd (always cute and funny).

The soundtrack is a hoot too! Check out the Hawaiian covers of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "These Boots are Made for Walkin'".

Friday Movie Review

Well actually last night, I saw BRA BOYS, the documentary about the infamous Australian surf gang. It wasn't the best film-making in the world (the direction was cheezy and the point-of-view was severely one-sided), BUT Dr. Lee and I really did enjoy the footage of the big-wave surfing and cute fellas. And, I must admit the overall story of the Abberton brothers and their bond was quite touching.

I can't wait to see FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL tomorrow; you know I love me some Jonah Hill!

P.S. Chelsea won their game versus Everton yesterday, so we're still in it to win it, baby!

LHK Sporting News

1) Chelsea takes on Everton today in a MUST-WIN game IF they want any chance of winning the EPL title (on Setanta at 12pm PST). Such stress!

COME ON, CHELSEA!

2) Marat Safin takes on Robin Haase today in the 2nd round of the Valencia Open. Vamos, Marat!

3) Bravo to Croatian tennis fox, Mario Ancic, for earning his law degree this week! I'd love to read his thesis on the ATP once it's translated into English.
