Somebody call Hollywood -- this kid is a superstar.

On March 20, at the Kentucky High School Boys' State Basketball tournament, one young fan tore up the bleachers with some truly slick dance moves.

According to attendees, the boy's name is Peyton "Peanut" Henderson. It looks like he got things started with an enthusiastic interpretation of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.
