Students were in for quite a surprise at Dana Middle School in Hawthorne, CA, when former student and R&B sensation Miguel decided to crash their annual talent show on Friday. Staying true to his humble nature, Miguel took to the stage to perform his hit song "Adorn" as the auditorium erupted in happy screams. But that wasn't all! On top of his epic surprise, he also handed out medals to the show's winners. Even La councilman Joe Buscaino took notice of the sweet gesture and took to his Facebook to give the singer a shout-out, writing, "Thank you Miguel for participating in the Richard Henry Dana Middle School Talent Show tonight! You made a lifetime of memories for these students! #superstar." The following day, Miguel uploaded a snapshot from the show and opened up about his former school on Instagram, writing, "Visited my old middle school for this years talent show tonight.

Arcade Fire and Celine Dion are joining forces.
No, it's not a masterplan to destroy hipster minds everywhere. Rather, the pair will be part of a good cause -- a benefit concert to support the family of Denis Blanchette, a lighting technician who was shot and killed at a victory party earlier this month when the separatist Parti Québécois won the provincial election in Quebec.
Blanchette was shot when Richard Henry Bain opened fire during Quebec's premier-designate Pauline Marois' speech. Bain has been charged with murder.
Where the artists come in is the Denis Blanchette Benefit Concert, being held October 1 at Metropolis in Montreal, Quebec. The funds raised will go towards providing for Blanchette's young daughter as well as co-worker Dave Courage, who was also shot, but survived.
Arcade Fire and Celine Dion have already committed to performing, but a number of other high profile Quebec musicians are also playing as well,...

AMC continues it's TV dominance, and is developing a football drama called The Real All Americans. THR reports that the network is in the early stages of development on the football drama. The project is based on Sally Jenkins’ book about the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Penn. It will tell the story of "the school's storied football program created by U.S. cavalry officer Richard Henry Pratt, an abolitionist and early equal rights proponent who made a harrowing journey to the Dakota Territory in 1879 to recruit the school's first students."
Tommy Lee Jones is currently in talks to step behind the camera to direct the pilot. The script is being penned by Nicholas Meyer (writer of various Star Trek films), with Harry J. Ufland on board as producer.
Here are some stats about the football program:
Pratt’s football program had a stunning record of 167-88-13 and...

For those of us in need of something to fill the football-and-weeping niche vacated by the much-missed "Friday Night Lights," AMC is developing a period football drama entitled "The Real All Americans" that looks like it could totally hit the spot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series is based on Sally Jenkins' book of the same name about Pennsylvania's Carlisle Indian Industrial School (which operated from 1879–1918) and its football program, created by U.S. cavalry officer and abolitionist Richard Henry Pratt. The school's legacy is, let's say, a complicated one -- Pratt was focused on assimilation, his motto "Kill the Indian and the save the man." The football program, though, had an outstanding record and numbered among its participants coach Glenn "Pop" Warner and Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe. Tommy Lee Jones -- who played offensive tackle on Harvard's undefeated...

Are you ready for some period-accurate, racially charged football? AMC is developing a series adaptation of The Real All Americans, Sally Jenkins’ story of the famed football program at Pennsylvania’s Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and all of its rowdy, personally invested friends are coming over. Namely actor Tommy Lee Jones, whose Cherokee ancestry and background as an offensive tackle for Harvard have made him AMC’s preferred candidate to direct the story of U.S. cavalry officer Richard Henry Pratt’s 1879 journey into the heart of the Dakota Territory, where he recruited the Native American team that would ...

Everyone is enjoying the holiday here at PlanetdoorQ. We might be back later this weekend. We might all get drunk, hook up with hotties while singing the Star Spangled Banner and dance in the streets wearing nothing but sparklers and a smile. Until next we meet, enjoy the Holiday, be safe, and take a moment to remember all of those who lived, fought and died, for the hope, for the dream, for the reality of America.--Tann Declaration of Independence
