| Dina Lohan Lied About Professional Dancer Past?
(andPOP) - LINDSAY LOHAN's mother DINA lied about being a professional dancer with prestigious stage group The Rockettes, according to reports. An investigation carried out by The New York Post found no trace of the star's mum during a thorough search of the dance group's records - and it seems the famous mother also made up her claims she appeared in the theatre and television ads. A source tells the paper, "It's like claiming to have a degree from Harvard when you don't. It's a big deal to be a Rockette... "Look in SAG (Screen Actors Guild). Look in AFTRA (American Federation of Television & Radio Artists). Dina isn't a member... She never did a Broadway show. She never did ads." (c) 2007 WORLD ENTERTAINMENT NEWS NETWORK LTD.

The National Ballet's Trio of Performances is Worth Wolfing Down
I've never before been to a ballet. Never had anything against them, but it just never seemed to pique my interest. Now in my 25th year, I find myself a little more open to some of life's pleasures that I'd previously discounted as, well, unpleasurable. The National Ballet of Canada opened its summer season last night with a triple bill including two classics The Four Seasons and a company premiere of Polyphonia, followed by the first run of performances in the world of Matjash Mrozewski's Wolf's Court. Bummed that Heroes and 24 are done for a few months? Got some cash and feel like doin' something classy? Well then maybe you should consider this trio of performances, and trust me when I say that the ballet isn't just for old farts with miniature binoculars on sticks anymore.

Long Center scheduled to open in March 2008
The Long Center for the Performing Arts is beginning to take its shape along Town Lake as it rises from what was once Palmer Auditorium. Construction is in full swing and should be complete by March of next year. It will be the permanent home to the Austin Symphony, Austin Lyric Opera and Ballet Austin.
The $77 million building will include two theaters, the Dell Hall which seats 2,400 and the more intimate Rollins Theatre. It will also have a 30,000-square-foot terrace that can be rented for private occasions.
The project utilizes more than 60 percent of materials from Palmer Auditorium. Though much of the project involves using the existing infrastructure, builders have still managed to implement state-of-the-art design and acoustics.
