Bruno Mars Meets Kai From The Ellen Show

Alright, it's official, Ellen Degeneres is the best. First she hooked up Hooligan  Emily Torres on a "prom date" with Bruno Mars.  Now she brings 4 year old Kai on her show, and he ends up meeting Bruno!!   (For an update on this story see the note at the bottom of the page)

Here's the story...4 year old Kai Langer from Texas became a viral video sensation when his parents posted this adorable video of him singing Bruno Mars' "Grenade."



And what do ya know, Ellen invited him to be on her show...



But it doesn't stop there. Kai did in fact go to The Ellen Show...



And yet, it still doesn't stop there. Ellen gave Kai tickets to Bruno's show in Texas. Flying back home to Texas, Kai ended up being on the same flight as Bruno Mars and his Hooligan band. Seems Bruno and his band were flying to Texas for their show at the  Houston Rodeo,  and Kai was on the same flight, as band member Jamareo Artis tweeted.

We met a little boy on the airplane today who apparently was on Ellen last night and he sang "Grenade" to us, coolest thing ever.

Based on the looks of this photo of Kai with Bruno Mars that Ellen tweeted, I'd say he is one happy kid! Click on the instagram link in the tweet to see the picture.
