U.S. Open kids' event to serve up pop star JoJo
Chart-topping R&B stylist JoJo - at 13, still a kid herself - has
been tapped as a headliner for Arthur Ashe Kids' Day Aug. 28 at the
USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing.
"I'm a huge tennis fan and ... I love seeing the young generation of
American players like Andy Rodd*ck," she said last week, during a
break from hosting duties on MTV's "TRL."
JoJo's single "Leave (Get Out)" has been on the charts 11 weeks and
is No. 3 on the Billboard Top 40 singles chart.
As already announced, MTV's Quddus will host Kids' Day, which has
helped break acts including Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys,
Lil' Bow Wow and Vanessa Carlton.
The ninth annual Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, a day-long festival of
tennis activities, games, entertainment and clinics, is the official
kickoff for the U.S. Open, which runs Aug. 30 to Sept. 12. Tickets
are available through Ticketmaster (866-OPEN-TIX), usopen.org or at
the USTA National Tennis Center box office.
