Pro Camera on the Hula Hoops in the Movie about Cheerleaders
HAMMER: Of course, Oprah Winfrey has some terrific shows on her own network. One of them is called "Iyanla! Fix My Life". Well, we might have the title of a new show on the works for Oprah, it`s number on our countdown, Oprah, fix my toilet. I mean come on, check out this Instagram photo. It went up from Oprah`s BFF Gayle King, actually saw this the minute it went off and I said, really, Oprah? Are you fixing your own toilet? She was. At her home in Maui. You know, there`s not always somebody around to help, I guess. Gayle posted this with the caption, "Stars, they are just like us. Oprah at her other job, plumber." Unreal. Back with me, in Hollywood, comedian DeRay Davis, he hosts GSN`s "Mind of a Man," and entertainment reporter Stuart Brazell. Charlamagne from MTV2`s "Guy Court" is in New York. Let me go to you, because this is your mom, after all, Charlamagne. It begs the question, is there anything that your mom can`t do?</s>CHARLAMAGNE: Well, yeah. She`s my mother in my head. My last name is (inaudible). And it hurts my heart to see over - her fixing her own toilet. Like where is - where you need them, like who`s busy in Oprah`s world, too busy in Oprah`s world that they can`t help her fix her own toilet. It`s like she`s still in the movie "The Butler" or something. Like please, get off the toilet, mom.</s>HAMMER: I mean really, she literally sticks ....</s>DAVIS: I like it, though, because if you`re in the bathroom by yourself, who are you going to call to come in there? You don`t know what the situation was prior to that.</s>BRAZELL: Prior to the issue?</s>HAMMER: We`re going to leave it there.</s>DAVIS: I`m just saying.</s>HAMMER: Stuart, Charlamagne, DeRay, thank you all for being here so much. And be sure to check out "Guy Court" on MTV2 and "Mind of a Man" on GSN. And, of course, "Dirty and Thirty" online. From inside Oprah`s bathroom to the inner workings of how the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders work, hula hoops can pick a wheel. Number one on our top ten countdown, going where no fan has gone before. Up close in personal with their belly buttons. It`s the wild viral video that has fans of the most famous cheerleaders in the world jumping through hoops to watch. Here`s CNN Jeanne Moos for "SBT."</s>JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It`s the little camera that makes you feel like you`re along for the ride on a surfboard or a roller coaster or inside a dishwasher. And now the go pro has gone where few have gone before, around and around and around the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders on a hula-hoop.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah, we`re really wanting to show off our girls.</s>MOOS: So, while the Cowboy Cheerleaders were down to Mexico shooting their 24 team calendar, they shot a few hoops.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So, I`ve got this little camera contraption right here that go pro sits right in there.</s>MOOS: It weighs about a pound. So they had to fill the rest of the hoop with the lead beads to counterbalance the camera that the whole hoop ended up weighing about four pounds.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sorry. I wouldn`t break the camera.</s>MOOS: This is a go pro. Costs anywhere between $200 to $400. And you can pretty much mount them anywhere. From a trombone, to a sword, to a violin bow. So why not a hula-hoop? In fact, it had already been famously done at the Burning Man Festival in 2012. By a group calling itself Hula Fantastica. Their Venice Beach video was the inspiration for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. But it was an uphill battle for the cheerleaders.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They hadn`t had a lot of experience with hula hoops. They couldn`t get those cool twirls.</s>MOOS: But Corbin Perkins, the Cowboy`s multimedia editor, seemed to get the hang of it. He can be seen diving into the beach grass. Get out of the shop on the cheerleaders (inaudible). Nobody seemed to be complaining about the skill level. Instead, there were comments like, "That is one lucky hula-hoop!" "I wanna be that Hula Hoop." Next best thing, to be the hula-hoop handler is like being a fly on the wall of the hula-hoop, dizzying.</s>HAMMER: Well, it was only a matter of time, right? We are keeping things moving in a slightly different direction now with an NFL superstar who never, ever listens to his haters, but it`s not for the reasons you might think.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They gave up on me, told me I should just quit.</s>HAMMER: Tonight`s moment of awesomeness will remind you that you can do just about anything when you listen to yourself. This is "SBT" on HLN.
