“When MGM gave us this opportunity, we were anxious to put something together to show them that this was definitely something we could do. When they told us they were in and all the pieces started to fall together, it was still somewhat unbelievable, like, is this really happening? As we started to choreograph and practice day after day after day, the stress level quickly rose, and we were all just extremely nervous for the opening day. But it was really cool being a part of putting together such an extensive show from beginning to end.”

Their temporary home has been in Las Vegas for May, June and now August. They were given a test run between May 7th and 25th. On the opening night, they threw a pre-party at Tabu Ultra Lounge where family, friends and supporters relaxed and had drinks. Afterward, the Jabbawockeez hit the red carpet where they met celebrity fans.

“On the red carpet, it was great to see that so many celebrities were fans of ours. Sean Paul, DeMarcus Cousins, Lil Mama, Mary Murphy and many more came to show support. We also got a lot of support from our fellow ABDC champions and alums SuperCR3W, Beat Freaks and Quest Crew.”

“I just kind of freak out in the car on the way and then kind of remain in a bit of a daze.”
He also stated that he was afraid that he would go deaf due to the screaming fans (he’s already partially deaf he commented).

A veteran star also commented that she gets a bit nervous before appearing on the red carpet. None other than Sandra Bullock. She admitted that the entire idea of being a celebrity is uncomfortable. Yes, she is an Oscar-winning actress that starred in movies like Miss Congeniality, The Proposal and The Blind Side, but she still admits that she tries not to think about being a celebrity and just focuses on doing the job.

“Leaving my house and getting on to a red carpet is always crazy for me, because you have to find a way to be comfortable in the most uncomfortable situation imaginable – how do you talk yourself down so it’s all water off a duck’s back?”

She said that the celebrity world isn’t hers and that she just comes in to do her job and then goes home.

Most of the jewelry picks included cuff bracelets, cocktail rings and dangle earrings. A perennial favorite for the entire red carpet even was, of course, a piece from H. Stern. Jennifer Love Hewitt, the star of “Ghost Whisperer” showed up at the event wearing a gorgeous suite of H. Stern and a pair of his earrings and a ring from his Nature collection. The ring was crafted with 18k rose gold, making it look very bold and gorgeous with the pave diamonds. The earrings she wore were quite stunning, they had a chandelier triple dangle design and round copious diamonds.

H. Stern is known to be one of the most reputable jewelry designers out there today. He has a large roster of celebrity clients, so you are bound to see many more pieces from him at various celebrity gatherings.

Also notable happens to be, none other than, Katherine Heigl, who was spotted on the red carpet the week before. She will be starring once again on the big screen in a movie called The Ugly Truth. She made her appearance at the L.A. Premiere of the film. Also starring in it is Gerard Butler. Stars from Grey’s Anatomy also attended the event, along with other famous stars. Heigl sported a toupe Lanvin dress that was layered by David Yurman. The pearl necklace (also seemingly popular) she was wearing also had a layered look; it contained browns, yellows and off-whites, which accentuated her ensemble.
