- Judy Berna had an amazing night last Friday, watching her formerly shy 10 year old show off his stuff at the school lip sync contest. He not only shocked his three teen siblings (and the three friends they dragged along) with his outgoing performance, but won the random drawing to be ‘principal for the day’. She’s thinking her youngest might be skipping college and moving directly toward show biz stardom.
