Yes! Allez, Jeremy!

My beloved Jeremy Chardy won his first ATP title today, beating Victor Hanescu in the final of the Mercedes Cup!!!


I'm so happy for him, and I only wish that the match was televised!

P.S. Jeremy is kind of looking like a foxy Ray LaMontagne, no?

Allez, Jeremy!

Bravo to Jeremy Chardy for reaching the final of the Mercedes Cup in Stuggart! Jeremy is gunning for his 1st ever ATP title, and he takes on Victor Hanescu (who he's beaten before; I witnessed it myself in Indian Wells earlier this year).

Allez, Jeremy!!!

An Extravaganza

Ronz and I attended the Saban Free Clinic's Extravaganza for the Senses tonight at Fox Studios, and it was a lot of fun! The weather was great, as was the music (DJ'd by Scott Silva), food, and wine (our fav was the Broadbent Vinho Verde).

They even had henna tattoo artists there, and I finally got a CFC tattoo that I've been dying to try out (to go along with my newly manicured Chelsea blue nails)! I'm no hand model I know, but I gotz to get ready for the Chelsea boys. I'm seeing them in just 2 days!!!

Bravo, Chelsea!

Chelsea beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 today! It was a pretty good showing. JT looked lovely as ever, and our new young striker, Daniel Sturridge, was very impressive!

Harry's Potter!

The crew and I continued our years-long tradition of seeing every Harry Potter movie together when we caught HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE today.

I, of course, really liked it, and I knew I would. It's a whole other world and series that I enjoy immensely!

Coming to America!

Chelsea FC has touched down on American soil and have arrived in Seattle for the beginning of their US Summer tour!!! They'll be in L.A. soon next, and I can't wait!!!

Here's their upcoming game schedule:

Saturday, July 18th at the Qwest Field Stadium (Seattle, WA) on ESPN2 at 12pm PST.

Tuesday, July 21 vs. Inter Milan at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, CA) on ESPN2 at 8pm PST

Friday, July 24 vs. AC Milan at M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore, MD) on ESPN at 5pm

Sunday, July 26 vs. Club America at Cowboy Stadium (Arlington, TX) on ESPN2 at 4pm PST
P.S. And YES, John Terry is here with the squad too despite rumors that he may be transferred to Manchester CITY!

Music Update

YOWZA! In the past 2 days, I've been really lucky in finding awesome music that I'm completely digging!

Yesterday, I bought the debut cd from DISCOVERY, the duo made up of Rostam Batmanglij (from Vampire Weekend) and Wes Miles (from Ra Ra Riot). They sound like an R&B version of Crystal Castles; a very fun album!

And today, after a really long absence, I logged onto MySpace and heard a new song from one of my favorite English rappers, Kano. Well, he's featured on a Chase and Status track called "Against All Odds" that's actually not so new. Apparently, the album it's from, MORE THAN A LOT, came out last year in the UK.

Oh well, better late than never. AND, the whole fabulous album is only $5.99 (USD) on iTunes.


Check it, Fools!

New Music Tuesday

Live Music

I saw my friends' band KILL KILL KILL tonight at The Smell. Check their shite out!

The Galaxy

I cheered on the Los Angeles Galaxy tonight against their hometown rivals Chivas USA. David Beckham isn't officially back with the squad until Monday, but it was nice to see (Becks' teammate and biggest critic recently) Landon Donovan back in the action. The Galaxy thankfully won 1-0, and apparently Becks and his guest, (soccer god!) Zinedine Zidane, were in a luxury suite at the stadium watching the game.

Saturday Movie Review

I saw BRUNO mit Billy and RD today, and it was crazy and hilarious as expected! Sacha Baron Cohen is ridiculous, and be forewarned that this movie is WAY raunchier than Borat.

Happy Birthday, Mickey!

I wish you all the best!

P.S. Check out Mickey's SYSTEM OF STRENGTH program.

Live Music

Hillzie and I caught The Old 97's last night at the Music Box. The foxy Rhett Miller opened for his own band, performing his solo work. It was a fun show, and Rhett is beyond cute!

But, I seriously could have done without the opening opening act, Murry Hammond, the bass player for the band. His set was pure torture and beyond boring.

Thankfully, Rhett has charisma to spare; check him out:


P.S. I promise that's not me that you can hear singing along...

New Music Tuesday

I'm absolutely adoring the new single by the Arctic Monkeys called "Crying Lighting".

Happy Birthday, Stacy!

Cheers, Lady!

Sunday Movie Review

The ladies and I saw a matinee of CHERI today. Overall, it was pretty good (nothing to rush out to), but the set design, costumes and Rupert Friend were just delicious!

I'm done with Wimbledon...

Well, for this year at least. I'll record and fast-forward through both of the upcoming women's and men's Wimbledon finals this weekend, but I could care less about any of the players in them.

Friday Movie Review

Yay! I'm so excited I had a Friday off and got to go to the movies like the good old days!

The crew and I saw PUBLIC ENEMIES today. I wasn't expecting much, as I'm not a big gangster movie fan. But, I'll see anything that Johnny Depp is in, and he did not disappoint! He's wonderful as per usual.

Overall, the movie was beautifully shot in high def digital, and I enjoyed the soundtrack. But, the movie was a little long for my taste, and some of the performances weren't that appealing (e.g. Christian Bale). However, Marion Cotillard was very good, except for her distracting French/Midwest/Navajo/Challenged accent.

I'd recommend the flick for the sole reason of seeing Johnny Depp on the big screen.

LHK Tennis Update

1) BO-ring! The Williams sisters will face each other again in the Wimbledon final.

2) The Wimbledon men's semi-finals are today, and I'm rooting for Andy Murray to win it all! Come on, Andy!

Farewell, Conner

My tennis coach of 4+ years and the Sept. '06 Lady Hooligan cover model, Conner (aka Connz aka CK) is leaving Los Angeles, and my Wednesday nights will strangely be open now.

Good luck with everything, Connz! We'll miss you and your Connerisms very much!

xo, Kat aka Twisty
