The stars turned out on the “black carpet” for the Pirates 4 premiere at Disneyland park on Saturday May 7th 2011. They actually built a huge screen on the banks of the Rivers of America.
First up, Jake T. Austin from WOWP with some blond chick that I’m assuming is his girlfriend.
I got a quick glance at Emma Roberts as she dashed past me.
Ashley Benson from Pretty Little Liars was looking very good.
My love Ashley Tisdale was there too. Sadly, I was so excited to see her that this vid was all I got of her.
I was just a few feet from the lovely Vanessa Hudgens as she signed some autographs. She is stunning up close.
The lovely dancer Lacey Schwimmer signed some autographs for fans too.
I did not expect to see Kyle Massey, but I guess he still follows Lacey around everywhere. 🙂
Eliza Dushku pretty much ran past as fast as Tizz did, but it was still a real treat to get to see her in person!
After seeing Lacey and Kyle, it was no surprise that Disney would want to have Chelsea Kane come by too.
I guess this Dancing with the Stars thing is popular. It didn’t seem like anyone knows her as “that blond chick from JONAS” besides me.
Eva Longoria is my one cliche older woman crush. So I got a kick out of seeing her in person too.
If you didn’t already know, Penelope Cruz is the female lead in Pirates 4. So of course she was there.
I just barely saw Mitchel Musso before the ushers pushed him along…
… to make way for our final guest of the evening Johnny Depp himself.
It was a lot of fun, and quite a sight to see. Even though the camera didn’t always agree!
In the next day or so I’ll be tracking down some of the professional press pics of Ashley, Vanessa, and the like as I regularly do for premieres. You can find move video from the even on my youtube and as always, click on each picture for a larger version.
Chelsea looks totally amazing! I nornally like girls with long hair but Chelsea is definitely an exception. The short ‘do is definitely working for her and OMG those legs! She looks so sophisticated and mature in that dress. 🙂
Greg,
Disney is ABC Broadcasting’s parent company. They cross-promote “Dancing with the Stars” every chance they get. It’s no accident why so many DC stars have appeared on it and you can bet a whole lot more will appear in the future. I have no doubt that at some point Bella or Zendaya will be asked to compete on DWTS. 🙂
Yeah, Chelsea did look pretty amazing there. 🙂
And I’m aware of the ABC connection. But why the fascination just with DWTS? They have a lot of other shows and stars too.
Selena was performing at the Dixon May Fair in NoCal. It was a good show, I was in the second row, just four seats of the center aisle, probably left a big puddle of drool…
cdog, ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
Hi Greg,
I don’t have a solid answer for you as to why Disney pushes so hard with DWTS. Perhaps they are trying to introduce ballroom dancing to us younger generation (it ain’t workin’ for me Dude) or it just may be that since the show is already popular that they are trying to push it over the top by adding DC stars and trying to capture a younger demographic. Remember its May right now which means its sweeps month. Everyone is trying to get the highest ratings they can so they can charge the most for advertising in the months ahead. Sadly, advertising is the reason ALL of the shows exist in the first place. 🙁
