And Chelsea are in California on a pre-season tour.

Chelsea are due to play LA Galaxy in a friendly and the Blues have thrown a red carpet party for Hollywood celebrities.

Tara said: "I did a movie in Spain during the World Cup last year, so I learned a lot about it.

"It isn't really a popular sport in America but I think it is going to be a lot bigger."

Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberley, Sex and the City actress Kristin Davis and tennis star Serena Williams added some glamour to Chelsea's party.
