Natalie Portman Wins Best Actress at the 2011 Oscars


At the age of 29, Natalie Portman has taken home her first Oscar, winning Best Actress at the 83rd Academy Awards for her work in Black Swan.

Portman beat out heavy competition, including Annette Benning, Nicole Kidman, and newcomer Jennifer Larwrence. She was coming strong off earlier award show wins, including a Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the BAFTA Award.

Holding her statue, Portman thanked a long list of people, including her fiance, Benjamin Millepied, who she called "my beautiful love ...  who has now given me my most important role of my life." Portman added that she was "so in awe" of her fellow nominees before making it clear that the most important people in her life are "my family, my friends, and my love."

This was her second time to be nominated. She was previously recognized for her work in Closer in 2005.

Motown: Dancing In The White House


The dancing wasn’t in the street – tonight it was in the White House.

Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder came out to celebrate fifty years of rhythm and blues with a White House music night devoted to black history month and Motown’s effect on music and American history.

Obama called it "the soundtrack of the civil rights era," and credited Motown's tight lyrics, catchy melodies and deep soul with helping to "blur the line between music that was considered either black or white."

“Along the way, songs like ‘Dancing in the Streets’ and ‘What’s Going On’ became the soundtrack of the civil rights era,” President Obama said in the East Room of the White House. “Black artists began soaring to the top of the pop charts for the first time. And at concerts in the South, Motown groups literally brought people together –- insisting that the ropes traditionally used to separate black and white audience members be taken down.”

While the Motown greats sang the classics, the new era of singers - Natasha Bedingfield, Sheryl Crow, Gloriana, Nick Jonas, Jordin Sparks and John Legend - paid tribute to the way paved for them.

The president – and his dancing – were the brunt of some great jokes by comedian Jamie Fox.

“You are not going to dance with me – I saw you on 'Ellen'!” MC of the night Jaime Foxx said to President Obama, impersonating his at times stiff dancing. “That definitely was not the black side of you right there.”

But in the end, the president still showed some of his own Motown moves, dancing with his daughter Sasha Obama for a brief moment during the finale  when all the performers sang “Dancing in the Streets."
And Vice President Biden wasn’t free from being the target of the jokes either.

“In the ‘60’s – how many of you remember the ‘60s?” Foxx said. “I know you remember the ‘60s”

Foxx said to Vice President Biden, “you remember the ‘30s man.”

Political circus O'donnell asked to Dance


Washington (CNN) -- Politics is serious business -- but not all the time.

They want me! They really want me!

Christine O'Donnell, the headline-grabbing former Republican U.S. Senate candidate, recently announced on her Facebook page that the producers of ABC's hit show "Dancing with the Stars" asked her to be a contestant on the upcoming season.

Calling it a "Facebook Exclusive," the Tea Party favorite wrote: "I just got the Official 'Ask' from Dancing With The Stars!! Although I am utterly flattered, my initial thought was to decline, as 2 year old nephew has more rhythm than me, and my two left feet!!"

The post had 231 "like" responses and 375 comments as of Wednesday morning.

Cheryl Burke admits to 'fling' with Chad Ochocinco


Of all her Dancing With The Stars partners, Cheryl Burke appeared to have a particular connection to Chad Ochocinco.
In her new book, Dancing Lessons, Burke, 26, writes that people assumed she and Chad were "an item" last spring because they had great chemistry and were both single. (There was also the matter of that $10,000 ring he gave her.) And now she tells
Lifeline Live that, yes, "We had a little bit of a fling."
They dated? "We didn't date. I wouldn't call that dating," she said, calling yesterday between media appearances for the book. "We maybe had a little bit of a fling. I wouldn't take it to that word dating."
She says, ultimately, "He was never really available to me. I 've had that pattern of dating unavailable men in my life and it was hard to resist, obviously, but it was still something I knew from other relationships."

Burke says she doesn't have a boyfriend. "It's been a little over a year and I've taken this time for me and taken the time to really get to know who I am. I'm still healing from everything. For now, it's best that I work on me and focus on my career. I'm ready to date, but I'm always traveling."
The "healing" she's talking about stems from being molested as a five-year-old by a family handyman, which she reveals in the book. From being beaten with a belt by abusive boyfriends. And from being hurt by media scrutiny over her weight.

And she has no regrets about getting so personal. "Oh my gosh. Not at all. I've been getting amazing positive feedback. It's helping me and I feel like I'm helping people."
She admits, "I did think about it for awhile. Do I really want to go this deep? But this is my story."

And she's ready to return for the new season of Dancing With The Stars, although she won't know her celebrity partner until after they're all announced on Feb. 28. "I have no idea" who will be on, she says, and adds, "We have no say" about who she'll be paired with, which is why "every season has been a different experience" -- from Tom DeLay to Wayne Newton to Gilles Marini to Emmitt Smith.
She doesn't foresee leaving the show anytime soon, as pros Julianne and Derek Hough have. If anything, she says, she'd like to "maybe do another dance show on television or have a talk show, be a spokesperson for young women. "
After the book tour ends and Dancing gets underway, she does have one project lined up: A new shoe line that will debut in April. She promises she'll have "heels, wedges -- shoes for all women that are as comfortable as a dance shoe."

Bitch stole my man!!! Dancer Julianne Hough is dating Ryan Seacrest.


Well not my # 1 fantasy draft, but Seacrest is the epitome of what it means to the ultimate Entertainment TV host!

The million dollar television reporter didn't interview his sweetie Julianne Hough on the Grammy red carpet. That job went to his E! Colleague Giuliana Rancic did. Rancic didn't hesitate to grill the former Dancing With The Stars pro about what she and Ryan would be doing to celebrate the romantic day.

"I don't know," said Julianne. "I just have to be ready by 6 p.m. I really have no idea."

But she figures it'll be good whatever it is. "He's pretty on top of it."

She mentioned she follows Ryan on Twitter, something that started long before their began dating. "I tweeted him something about two years ago and he didn't tweet me back." Ryan!

Julianne said she has a new album in the works and "a couple more film projects where I might be singing in them, too." Oh please woman, don't sing, don't act, just do what you do best, DANCE BITCH!

Paula Abdul’s "Live to Dance" is already Dead


Paula Abdul’s show, “Live to Dance”, has been cancelled. Can you believe it? Paula is said to be “devastated.” I heard that the ratings weren’t that good, but I never thought it would get cancelled.

I’m so sorry for Paula Abdul, because I know she really wanted this to happen. I mean the woman is a dancer herself, and she probably wanted the creators of American Idol to cringe when she made it to the top spot. Let’s be honest. I saw the show a few times and just wasn’t impressed. It was just lacking something, but I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t think this will break Paula.

She will move on to other things; just not American Idol. We shall see. She has been in the business for sometime now, and will be on a television show before you know it. For now, all of us that need our Paula Abdul fix will just have to wait until the right opportunity presents itself to her.

Do we even need another dance competition anyway? I seriously doubt it. Maybe this was just bad timing. I think if there is one thing she would be really good at, it would be judging a dance competition. The show did run it’s full season so she did get to complete it.

At least she was not cancelled mid-season thank God. I think Paula is not done yet, we will get to see her soon. Just you wait!

Mila Kunis Says “I Will Never Dance Again”


Mila Kunis Says “I Will Never Dance Again”. She lost 20 pounds, tore a ligament, dislocated a shoulder and trained for several months. But when Mila Kunis, star of Black Swan, recalls her injuries she quickly adds, “And it was worth every minute.”

In a recent interview with W Magazine (via The Huffington Post), the edgy ballerina says training for the movie resulted in several bruises. She recalls, “I had never danced in my life. I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day. I had one day off on my birthday.”

Although she admits it was worth every minute, she adds,”But I will never dance again. I’m a strong believer in mind over matter, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant until this production.”

Fans will get two Britneys for the price of one in 'HIAM' video, which premieres on MTV next Thursday.


It looks like Britney Spears is in a throwdown with herself in the video for "Hold It Against Me." In the latest, very brief teaser for the video, one Britney knocks down a second Britney (or Britney look-alike) with a blow to the face.

The teaser opens with a shot of two sets of feet, perfectly accessorized in high platform shoes. The camera pans up to show that one blond woman, dressed in a flowing gown, is punching another blond woman, also in a flowing gown, sending her flying through the air and onto the ground in slow motion. The two versions of Britney appear to be in some sort of battle for Britney supremacy.

With less than a week until the actual premiere of the video, fans have been given bits and pieces of the puzzle that is the Jonas Ã…kerlund-directed video.

"Anything that he does is magical. His eye for art is insane, so I was excited to work with someone who loves art so much, and it's not just a job, it's not technical — it really is a string aesthetic to what he does," the video's choreographer Brian Friedman
said recently about the video's director.

"I really feel like bringing two artists together in a way like that — where the director really loves the dance and understands the art of the dance and doesn't try to cover it up and water it down — is the best way to go," he added. "He was genius for me with dance."

Spears began rolling out teasers for the video last Friday, two weeks before the video's February 17 premiere on MTV. The much-anticipated clip will air on MTV and MTV.com Thursday at 9:56 p.m. ET, right before a new episode of "Jersey Shore."

Brett Favre: Kurt Warner Urges Brett Favre to Dance with the Stars


Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner wants retired and future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre to go on the ABC show Dancing with the Stars.

Although some sources think there's no way ABC would make Favre a contestant on the family-friendly show based on his past transgressions off the field, Warner said "controversy is good for ratings."

Warner has been a contestant on the show and seems to be all the rage for celebrities and retired sports figures alike.

But as mentioned by Pop Eater, I'd rather see Cincinnati Bengals receiver Terrell Owens on the show.

Hmmm, an old guy who kinda creeps me out compared to a receiver made for TV (however horrible that may be)?
I'd think Owens would not only be a better dancer, but also comes with a bit of controversy himself.

Maybe Owens could dance with pal Chad Ochocinco? The disgruntled Carson Palmer?

Sounds like a ratings boost if I ever heard one.

However, this might be therapy for Favre, who seems to be connected at the hip with football. Maybe it will keep his mind off returning to the football field once again out of retirement.

What are your thoughts on Farve the next DWTS?

Prince Kicks Kim Kardashian Off Stage at Concert for Not Dancing


Musician Prince brought reality TV star Kim Kardashian on stage with him Monday night at New York's Madison Square Garden -- then kicked her off for refusing to dance.

YouTube video posted late Monday night shows Prince dancing with an audience member before sending her back to her seat and summoning Kardashian from the front row.

Kardashian clapped but did not dance with the singer, and moments later Prince told her, "Get off the stage!"

Later in the show, Prince gave Kardashian another chance and she obliged him with some dance moves.
Kardashian's excuse? "I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me," she wrote on Twitter. "Went up on stage AGAIN! This time

I redeemed myself! We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!"
Prince was joined later in the concert by singer Cee-Lo Green, who turned his Gnarls Barkley hit "Crazy" into a duet with Prince.

Super Bowl XLV halftime show, Make it Stop!

In theory, the Black Eyed Peas are the perfect band to play at the Super Bowl halftime show. They’re glitzy, entertaining, and it’s hard to believe that any sporting event of the last five years hasn’t played a song by the group at some point during play. Yet, they seemed to fall short during the halftime show — standing up in front of a live crowd of more than 100,000 people, the Black Eyed Peas seemed… well, as small as peas themselves.



The dancers surrounding them might have had to adhere to strict choreography, but the Peas, merely standing next to each other in a line, looked awkward, as if they didn’t have a concrete plan for what would happen after they descended from the sky (a cool effect, I’ll admit) at the beginning of the show. No matter how many awesome LED effects they could distract us with, you couldn’t mistake the fact that we were watching a small pack of four musicians — with plenty of sound problems.

The foursome began singing their feel-good hit, “I Gotta Feeling” and were quickly set off-balance as soon as Fergie’s mic cut off as she began her portion of the song. They followed up with a shrug-worthy “Boom Boom Pow,” and then shifted gears a tad: Out came Slash, playing “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” (The Super Bowl halftime show isn’t the Super Bowl halftime show without an aging rock star!)

The guitarist, however, did add some much-needed musicality to the event — that is, until Fergie began singing. As stellar a vocalist the Black Eyes Peas singer might be, classic rock certainly is not her strong suit.

Then came “Pump It” and “Let’s Get It Started,” but the Black Eyed Peas didn’t quite hit their stride, strangely enough, until they began the politically-charged!

“Where Is the Love,” performed against the backdrop of Valentine’s Day-appropriate red hearts that experienced some technical difficulties of their own — part of that pesky “V” refused to light up. (And, surprise surprise, will.i.am changed the lyrics to the tune during the show.) Usher came along to play as well, handling his “OMG” song-and-dance routine much better than he has in previous live performances. And, shockingly, the band sounded best performing what might just be their worst song to date, “The Time (Dirty Bit).”

But tell me, football and Black Eyed Peas fans: What did you think of the halftime show? Time of your life? Or time to make them stop?

Defensive lineman gave Bears fans preview of what he could do at Super Bowl


That was where Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji — the B.J. stands for Bad Jig as far as Chicago is concerned — celebrated his 18-yard interception return for a touchdown with a dance that quickly went viral all over the Internet, keeping many fan's up laughing with Raji.

Punctuating the biggest play that kept the Bears from the Super Bowl, Raji put his hands on his hips as he swiveled them, all 337 pounds of the defensive lineman jiggling to mark the Packers' joyous occasion. It made Raji the heaviest NFL player to score a postseason touchdown since William "Refrigerator'' Perry spiked the ball in Super Bowl XX for the Bears.

Raji gave his dance an A-plus and says he looks forward to showing the world his tsunami once again!

Who the he'll is that girl?

Carina ( center) with her arm clearly demonstrating a confident win over the rest of the girls auditioning last night at Vanish.



7th at bat, & at the start of the beat her body never quit. She had the adrenaline & sexual appeal of Britney Spears( that is, in one of her better dance video's & coordination of Julianne Hough from her neck, to hips and back down to her feet.

At the auditions, Carina told us she has aspired to be a club dancer for years, but was never offered a gig.

5 minutes later the Chula Vista native found out she got a final call back! Congrats Carina! We look forward to see you shake it on the dance floor!

Vanish Nightclub Dance Auditions tonight

Tonight I attended the Vanish Night Club "Go-go" dancer auditions. Although sadly I did not get a second call back, on the upside I got the opportunity to meet other dancers as passionate about dance as myself. Some where good, some where experienced, & some where straight up out of this world, setting the bar extremely high! To top it off, the night couldn't have been more surprising as headline dancer of FLUXX San Diego and Boom Box Dancer icon Chloe Nevermore sat in for the auditions, as her friend was the main judge. You can imagine how ecstatic I was, even a little nervous!





One thing is for sure thought, "Vanish" will be remarkable, from head to toe! Along with auditioning dancers, managers are putting together the last few bits of the under ground club together in time for it's opening night, expected to be the end of this month. It's called "Vanish" hence it's vanished stair cases down into a basement far beneath 5th & F street in the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego! In fact, I almost gave up looking for the audition. It wasn't until a friend/dancer of mine who was also auditioning for the gig pointed out the club was far underground.

When I finally arrived, nearly 3 stair cases below sea level, what I saw was phenomenal. I can tell you from personal experience this new underground hotspot will be off the hook with VIP rooms, booths, huge bar, & the dancers WILL BE outstanding!

Stay tuned as we will be announcing the opening night of Vanish here on Boom Box Dancers!

FLUXX SD WINS NATIONAL TITLE : "NEW CLUB OF THE YEAR"!!! ( & we say CLUB DANCERS of the YEAR! )


Oh shit!!! Just when you thought FLUXX San Diego couldn't get more recognition for their outstanding efforts in entertaining SD club goers, they seize to surprise us once again.

FLUXX can now add the "New Club of the Year" award onto their mantle of remarkable achievements. The downtown San Diego night club beat out nearly 150 impressive new club venues from through out the country in places such as New York, Miami, & LA for the baddest title in nightlife: "NEW CLUB OF THE YEAR"

According to Nightclub & Bar. com ( The Best in Bar Management ) San Diego has got the "mack daddy of them all". It couldn't be a better time to be a San Diego resident, as apparently the hottest night club in the U.S. is in our own back yard!!

To be honest though, it's no surprise club FLUXX won the prestigious award, as with every weekend of every month club director's continue to deliver outstanding performances that make every visit to FLUXX unforgettable and different from the last! From the headline DJ's, the incredibly talented live musicians, the stage lights, bottle service, drinks, to the dancers, this venue has the award in the bag!

A source close to the club, told Boom Box the FLUXX dancers specifically spend nearly 5-8 hours a week rehearsing dance routines, so they can perform at their best ability for the floor audience. And OMG they never miss a beat!

For those of you who haven't been to FLUXX (which the only reason should be because you have been sitting under a rock) the dance numbers for these stage performers aren't your average "Go Go pop lock and dropping dance move".

Being a dancer at FLUXX require's, strength , agility & balance as the majority of the girls performances are trapeze inspired entertainment. You will often see dancers swinging and dancing on roped poles hung from as high as 25feet off the ground.Not only are the girls talented, but extremely attractive too! They make the Pussy Cat Dolls look like Danity Kane on training wheels!

So mad props to the dancers at FLUXX, they are a huge influence that separates the San Diego night club experience from any other! If FLUXX won NEW CLUB OF THE YEAR, calling their stage performers "Dancers of the Year" would be an understatement!

To schedule a bottle service appointment for your next party or get information about upcoming DJ or music performances please visit: fluxxsd.com or call 619.232.8100 for more information.

Did Britney get a double for Hold it Against me?

Yeah, we're going to call bull shit on this!

Multiple sources close to production of Britney Spears' music video for her new single, Hold It Against Me, are claiming that the pop star was unable to keep up with the fast-paced dance routine, and director Jonas Akerlund ultimately got so upset that he asked her dance-double, Allison Kyler, to step in - leaving Brit Brit in tears!






However, a rep for the singer claims:

"The accusations could not be further from the truth. Britney worked extremely hard on this video and rehearsed for six weeks prior to shooting. Fans will immediately see how inaccurate these claims are once they see the video."

And Akerlund himself asserts:

"[Britney's] been great throughout the entire process. At the end of the shoot I got the warmest hug I ever got from an artist, and I look forward to hugging her again very soon! I've been around long enough to know when an artist gives it their all, and to me It doesn't get better than this. This video is gonna be fucking awsome. It's all Britney."

Unbelievable!

Right now, we tend to think that these 'sources' are just hating, but we suppose we won't find out until the video premieres!

People just can't handle our gurl's greatness! Such a shame!

What do U think?? Did Brit Brit need a double or is she going to kill it all on her own??

9 yr old sets Dance dance record

HERNDON, Va., Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A Virginia boy set a Guinness World Record for "Youngest Gamer to Achieve a Perfect Score on 'Dance Dance Revolution'" at the age of 9.



Ted Wada of Herndon said his son, Ryota Wada, 10, attempted the perfect score on the "Expert" level of the song "Heavy Eurobeat" and perfectly executed all 223 steps and 16 combinations last year, when he was 9, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

"It is a great honor for him," Wada said.

Ryota Wada said he has spent hundreds of hours on the game after first taking it up with his father, who used it as a tool to loose weight.

"Other kids say DDR is an adult game and it's very hard," the boy said. "I can do it very well. Why, I don't know. I think maybe because I can catch rhythm easily."
