San Juan Capistrano

NEWPORT BEACH — Sitting on an oversized plush chair in baseball legend Chuck Finley's Newport Beach home, actress Tawny Kitaen seems to be in a much different place than she was eight years ago. A soccer goal is visible in the backyard, and her daughter's art covers the refrigerator in the family home. Her adopted dog, Woody, nuzzles Kitaen as she talks about a new off-camera passion: helping others. A volunteer at Kathy's House, a shelter for at-risk women in San Juan Capistrano, and a member of the board of directors at Testimony Life Resources, an alternative counseling center, Kitaen appears to be a far cry from her role as the eccentric star of "The Surreal Life," or the woman battling a dependency on prescription pills on "Celebrity Rehab.

But a look at the scores didn't make the win look like such a shocker. Di Giulio, a Newport Beach resident, won, 6-0, 6-3. He advanced to today's quarterfinals.

It would seem that Samantha Smith, at 17, has the musical world by the strings. She opened for Al Stewart at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano over the weekend before an audience of 500. But that’s just one notch along the neck of her acoustic guitar. The Newport Beach resident and senior at Orange Coast Middle College High School also created the Young Singers of Orange County, an official nonprofit choir that tours and sings at public events. A few months ago, the 35-member choir managed to raise $2,000 for the children in Haiti.

To beat a team that is that accomplished, they were CIF champs last year, I’m still in shock.
