High School

Are you a big basketball fan? If so, this is definitely something you'll be amazed by (and maybe a little jealous of)! Professional basketball player Dwayne Wade, who plays for the Miami Heat, really showed how much he loves his fans by surprising one of them at their prom!

It all started when a high school senior that lives in Florida, Nicole Muxo, created a YouTube video of a prom proposal to Dwyane. Nicole started off the video saying that she's all ready for prom, except for one thing - having the perfect date, and proceeded to ask Dwayne to be that date. Watch her promposal here:

Believe it or not, her promposal didn't fall on deaf ears! Dwayne never officially responded to the video, but after being able to find some free time between his playoff games, the NBA star showed up at Nicole's prom to surprise her! Dwayne first surprised Nicole with a phone call, saying sorry that he couldn't make it to her prom and sending her happy wishes. But, a few minutes later, Dwayne walked into the La Jolla Ballroom in Coral Gables, where the Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School prom was being held, to surprise Nicole in person! Nicole was overwhelmed with amazement, and the two danced and took pictures together before Dwayne headed out for the night. Watch the video of Dwayne surprising the teen: Continue reading →

Step aside "High School Musical", Disney's back with another potential teen film franchise and this one is simply titled "Prom". Prom is scheduled to hit theaters on April 29, 2011 and focuses on nine high school seniors, all striving to make the best out of the big night. The good folks at Disney have already put out the movies' first trailer, take a look and let us know what you think.

Here is the synopsis provided by Disney:

“At ‘Prom,’ every couple has a story and no two are exactly alike. Several intersecting stories unfold at one high school as the big dance approaches; ‘Prom’ portrays the precarious passage from high school to independence as some relationships unravel and others ignite. For Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden), it’s a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy (Thomas McDonell) who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Fellow seniors Mei (Yin Chang) and Tyler (DeVaughn Nixon) harbor secrets, while others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school’s most seminal events. There are hundreds of nights in high school, but there’s only one ‘Prom.'"

Unlike High School Musical, "Prom" is not a musical. It's a comedy and is supposed to be "fun for the whole family," which usually means "just enough to keep everyone mildly entertained".  The cast is largely a bunch of no-names but as we know, Disney can create stars!  So what do you think, is Disney's "Prom" worth a shot?
