1) The FIFA Club World Cup final takes places today (at 2:30am PST on FSC). Manchester United (boo! spit! boo!) takes on (the long-shots) Liga de Quito. I'm rooting for Quito in honor of Dr. Lee (who summered there once) and 'cause Man U doesn't need another trophy.

2) The big EPL game of the day is Liverpool vs. Arsenal (at 8am PST on FSC)! I'm rooting for Arsenal OF COURSE 'cause Liverpool is currently a point ahead of Chelsea, and they need to be knocked out of the top spot on the table! Sorry, McFresh, but not really...

Ciao, Galaxy!

David Beckham officially joined AC Milan today on a short-term loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy. He began his press conference today speaking in Italian, which I must admit was quite sexy.

Hmmm, I wonder if I should get a Beckham Milan jersey??

Saturday Movie Review

Bill and I caught MILK today, and it's definitely worth seeing. Not only is the story true, amazing, relevant and heart-breaking (especially in light of California's recent passage of Prop 8), but Sean Penn's performance was wonderful. The eye-candy in the form of James Franco and Diego Luna didn't hurt either!

Golden Globes

The Golden Globe nominations were announced today.

Here are a few of my quick picks:

- JAMES FRANCO (in Pineapple Express)

- TRUE BLOOD

- I'm torn between 30 ROCK and THE OFFICE

- Tina Fey

- Again, I'm torn between ALEC BALDWIN and STEVE CARELL

Thank you, Chelsea!

Saturday Movie Review

Bill and I finally saw TRANSPORTER 3, and it did not disappoint. Although the plot and some of the characters (with their crazy accents) were beyond ridiculous, the action and the music were quite fun. And most importantly, Jason Statham was often shirtless and just dead sexy!

Come on, Chelsea!

Chelsea takes on Bolton today (on Setanta Xtra at 7am PST).

COME ON, CHELSEA!!!

Opening Today!

My pal AJ (from LOOKER) did the music supervision on the movie TENNESSEE, which opens today for a one week limited engagement in Los Angeles at the Laemmle's Music Hall 3. Check it out!
