Poreotix wins America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5

Poreotix wins America's Best Dance Crew Season 5

Last week, Poreotix did a video game inspired dance to Tetreotix. (It was sick) That dance put them over the top defeating Blueprint Cru to take the title of America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5. (It was the smallest narrowest margin of victory with 15 million votes cast.) They join the ranks of Jabbawockeez, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, and We Are Heroes. The West coast dance crew reigns supreme. West is the best.

next week’s America’s Best Dance Crew is gonna be sick. All 5 ABDC champs take the stage for charity. Champions for charity.

Olivia Munn in Date Night

Olivia Munn makes a cameo as the Claw Hostess in Date Night. She joins some of the hottest comedians on TV in this movie. Here’s more about Date Night:

Claire and Phil Foster (Tina Fey and Steve Carell) are a suburban couple slogging through their daily lives and marriage. Even their “date nights” of dinner and a movie have become routine. To reignite the marital spark, they visit a trendy Manhattan bistro, where a case of mistaken identity hurtles them through the city at breakneck speeds, into non-stop adventure. Remembering what made them so special together, Phil and Claire take on a couple of corrupt cops, a top-level mobster – and a crazed cabbie – as their date becomes a night they’ll never forget.

If you want to see Date Night, get tickets here. The next film to look for Olivia Munn is Iron Man 2. Look for it May 7, 2010. Also see Olivia Munn on Accidentally on Purpose, which aired on TV this week.
