Red Carpet Premiere: "Paul Blart Mall Cop"

Kayla attends the Red Carpet Premiere of "Paul Blart Mall Cop" in Bryan, Texas. Kayla was excited to see her cousin Raini Rodriguez at her autograph signing table welcoming her fans. Kayla can't wait to share her "proof" with her friends at school, who have offered a little skeptism when she told them that her cousin was in the movie.

The local TV station KBTX interviewed Raini who has also appeared in the "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and has a contract to do two more feature films. See: TV Interview (click)
