The Dance Crews show their support for Culture Shock LA at The Expo

This weekend was filled with dancing and music as I attended an event called "The Expo." It was a charitable event to benefit Culture Shock LA. Guests included former dance crews and dancers of "Randy Jackson Present America's Best Dance Crew," "So You Think You Can Dance," "America's Got Talent" and two actresses from the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana."

They were all there to lend their support and awareness for the Los Angeles Chapter of Culture Shock.

Culture Shock® is a non-profit 501(c)(3) hip-hop dance troupe dedicated to cutting-edge entertainment, dance education and outreach to diverse communities. Founded in 1993 by Nike Dance Trainer Angie Bunch, Culture Shock has grown from its home location of San Diego to cities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Take a peek and some of the interviews I had my other correspondent Elmer do with the various celebrity dancers plus performances from Kaba Modern, Culture Shock and Future Shock....

"Fool's Gold" fools critics

Congratulations to Warner Bros. Entertainment's "Fool's Gold" for topping this past weekend's box office top ten. With many critics panning the film starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, the romantic comedy was able to defy the critics as movie goers showed their interest in seeing the shirtless McConaughey and sexy Hudson regroup together for this feature.



Taking in $22 million in ticket sales, the Warner Bros. film faced stiff competition from "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" and the popular Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana 3D film concert which was expected to top the charts again this week as it did when it debuted last week. The concert fell to third place with $10.5 million as "Roscoe Jones" squeeze in between "Fool's Gold" and "Hannah Montana" to secure second place.





Next week will have two thrillers battling it out for the Presidents' Day Weekend, Paramount's "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and 20th Century's "Jumper."

Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana meld in 3D

If your niece, daughter, sister or anyone for that matter that's into Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus and missed her overpriced concert, then you're in luck with "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D featuring the Jonas Brothers." 

Imagine being at the concert without having to pay concert prices and still feel like you're there or even better. While waiting for the press check-in to open, I was speaking to a colleague from TV Guide. She had seen the special press screening the night before and told me and my niece that it was totally awesome. There is one point in the movie where the drummer flicks his drumsticks in the air and when they fall down onto the drums, there's a camera underneath that captures the shot and makes it seem like the sticks are coming at you.

Walking the red carpet were the usual ABC/Disney children talent from Madison Pettis to Ashley Tisdale. Having my niece with me help gain some smiles and attention from the celebrities. Some even had a quizical (sic) look on their faces as they heard my seven-year old niece Madison shout, "Up Here! Second row!" Oh my gosh! An event photographer in the making.

My niece, Madison, makes her red carpet debut.

Madison Pettis is in the house!



Miley Cyrus' tv brother Jason Earles graces us with his comedic presence.



The Jonas Brothers were a bit hard to photograph. Trying to get all three to look at the cameras. They created one of the loudest screams on Hollywood Blvd that night.




Miley Cyrus definitely has her own look on the carpet. She had a lot more eye make-up than usual and darker hair.

Speaking of darker hair. Disney publicist thought it would be cute to have all the photographers wear Hannah Montana wigs. I had to laugh because it looked more like the cast of Spinal Tap meets Hannah Montana.




Ashley Tisdale fixes her hair on the carpet.



Jennifer Tisdale makes her appearance at the premiere on the carpet. A little tidbit about Miss J Tisdale: She used to only want to be known as Jen Kelly and not Tisdale.



Director/choreographer Kenny Ortega demonstrates his moves at the premiere.



"Ugly Beatty" star Vanessa Williams puts a fashion spin on the carpet.

I just had to add this video of Hannah singing the song "Old Blue Jeans." My niece got me into this song when she was playing her Hannah Montana WII game.
