Norcross couple in Oscar dance troupe
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Norcross husband and wife Matt and Emily Kent were among the members of Pilobolus, that gravity-defying interpretive dance troupe who turned their bodies into selected films at Sunday night’s Oscars. Hidden behind a white screen, the troupe somehow morphed into “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Snakes on a Plane” and even the dilapidated VW bus from “Little Miss Sunshine.”
“My personal favorite was when they formed themselves into the Oscar statuette,” Matt Kent’s sister, Marietta resident Christi Kasha, told Buzz on Monday. The members of Pilobolus didn’t get a lot of downtime after their high-profile gig Sunday night either. On Monday, the troupe was booked on both “Good Morning America” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The answer:
What is Atlanta?
A film crew for venerable TV game show “Jeopardy!” shooting footage for future clues at the Carter Presidential Center and at the Weather Channel. The Atlanta-based clues should pop up in episodes later this year.
Tea for the Queen and the pretender?
If you needed further proof that sucking up to your subject is effective, Helen Mirren, who won the best actress Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II in “The Queen,” may be invited to tea, Buckingham Palace said Monday.
“It is speculation, but we are looking at a number of options,” a palace spokeswoman said Monday.
News of Mirren’s win was inescapable Monday, dominating U.K. newspaper front pages and television newscasts.
Mirren, 61, saluted the queen in her acceptance speech.
Celebrity docket
If we had a nickel for every time we’ve typed the words “Bobby Brown” and “arrested,” well, we would no longer have to type those words for a living. Yes, the former Alpharetta resident was busted in Massachusetts on Sunday night.
Brown was picked up on a warrant for failing to appear at a child support hearing in October.
The singer was scheduled to appear Monday in Norfolk Probate and Family Court, said Adam Loomis of All State Constables.
“He was supposed to show up and prove everything was up-to-date,” Loomis said.
Brown’s attorney, Atlanta-based Phaedra Parks, didn’t immediately return a call to comment. The singer and wife Whitney Houston are divorcing after a 14-year marriage.
