KateBeckinsale.com dropped and is on auction at DropCatch. The actress known for movies such as Underworld, Click and Serendipity has over 181,000 followers on Twitter and close to a million Instagram followers.
The domain name looks to have never been owned by Ms. Beckinsale or her management.
It looks like the domain name has been owned by many different registrants since 2003. The domain has been owned by registrants in India, Hong Kong, Panama to name a few.
Ms. Beckinsale should look to acquire the domain in my opinion as it should be the hub for all her other online efforts such as Twitter and Instagram.

June 22, 2017 at 6:25 pmI paid about $650 for MelanieGriffith.com at NameJet a few years ago. It had been registered in the name of an IP law firm so I imagine they were holding it for the actress and accidentally dropped it. I put up a page offering to let her have it at cost but for years have never been contacted, so now I’ll sell to anyone.
Russell Boyd, who used to own JuliaRoberts.com, still owns (as of the last time I looked) AlPacino.com and I think some other famous names. I don’t know if you know the story of how she got the domain from him. He had a website up with the funniest cartoons (i.e. of her pickpocketing Richard Gere), offering to give her the domain free of charge if she would personally ask him for it, but she elected instead to have her lawyers file a UDRP (which he didn’t respond to, if I remember correctly) and took the domain that way. He ended up on the Howard Stern show and I still haven’t forgiven her:) There are many people named Julia Roberts (including, I’m sure, other professional people)
so why should she be entitled to JuliaRoberts.com or other domains containing “Julia Roberts”?
