Meet the LA Matadors, who have created quite the buzz the past couple of weeks in Hollywood. Comprised of amateur boxers who are living the dream through the WSB organization.
Yesterday, I got a chance to see the LA Matadors topple the Mexico City Guerreros in a league clash. It was my first boxing match for the Matadors at Hollywood hotspot Avalon and I must confess, I am hooked.
Boxing Champion Evander Holyfield was also in the house and confessed, “The LA Matadors is a great team, they got great support and they have good fighters. They may have better fighters than all the team."
It's not only boxing professionals that are checking out the fights, but celebrities as well. Jenny McCartney, Julie Benz, C.S. Lee, Karina Sminoff and the orignal hulk Lou Ferrigno have all stopped by to check out the Matadors in action.
"The thing I love about this event, as a women who get to be all dressed up and be all gutter, go fight, win," said Julie Benz.

Dita debuted the “Cointreau Teese” cocktail at Avalon nightclub in Hollywood where she performed her signature “Be Cointreauversial Show.”
This was Dita’s first performance in tinseltown in over two years and was also the U.S. debut of her “Le Bain Noir Show” from the Crazy Horse Paris.
For those who are wondering Cointreau Teese is a complex blend of cointreau, apple juice and violet essence served in a violet hued martini glass with subtle hint of ginger around the rim and garnished with Edible violet flower.
Dita designed the cocktail through interviews and tastings with Cointreaus mixologists in Paris. In order to guide the creation of a drink that reflects her true tastes perfectly. Los Angeles is one a few exclusive cities around the world to which Dita featured the “Cointreau Teese.”
Stars who came out to support and drink the cocktail mix included Solange Knowles, Jared Leto, Jewel among others. Cheers to Dita for her latest venture, we only wonder if her ex Marilyn Manson will be drinking his sorrows away with “Cointreau Teese”?
