So You Think You Can Dance is taking over the world!

First Lacey Schwimmer, Dmitry Chaplin and Chelsie Hightower infiltrated Dancing with the Stars, Travis Wall returned triumphantly as a choreographer on the show, Kherington Payne got cast in the remake of Fame and Neil Haskell showed up Off-Broadway in Altar Boyz and on Broadway in 9 to 5. Now Season 4's Will Wingfield will be the new "Graffiti Pete" in In the Heights!

I saw Will, who was egregriously kicked off in the Top 8 of SYTYCD two seasons ago, this summer at City Center Encore's The Wiz, where he played the head monkey. Though he didn't have much to do, he danced fabulously, and certainly had more energy than star Ashanti. I mean...

Also coming to the Great White Way this fall is Season 3 runner-up Danny Tidwell, who will be a featured dancer in Memphis. Love!

Now we just gotta find a place for Katee Sheean and Janette Manrara!

Idol Thoughts Interviews So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe

I just got off the phone with Nigel Lythgoe, and here's a few nuggets of information he shared about Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance:

-Because of scheduling issues, the season finale episode will feature the Top 6, instead of the usual Top 4. This was to avoid starting with a "Top 18". By my estimations, this would put the finale on December 16, 2009.

-Adam Shankman joining the show does not mean the end of guest judges -- in fact, Jennifer Lopez, a big fan of the show, has expressed interest in joining the panel, and Nigel still hopes to get Paula Abdul from time to time.

-If the show is not successful in the fall Nigel expects it will return to the summer -- he can't imagine Fox would throw the baby out with the bathwater.

-Nigel thinks this past season was booooooooooooring, and though the dancers were technically adept, he thought they were seriously lacking in personality.

-He thinks Danny Tidwell is the best dancer the show has had, and thinks Travis Wall was a better dancer than Benji Schwimmer, and, in this past season, Brandon was a better dancer than Jeanine.

Episode 2 of the new season of SYTYCD airs tonight!

I'm a big Kris Allen fan. Big. And I couldn't be more excited that the 23-second clip below of his rumored new single "Live Like We're Dying" sounds AWESOME. Like, One Republic meets Jason Mraz AWESOME. It's a cover of a song by a band called The Scripts, but since no one's ever heard of them, or the song, who the heck cares? The song is (have I mentioned?) AWESOME!

Listen below and let me know what you think.

17 contestants took on the challenge of using a fellow competitor's suitcased clothing. I was surprised by the one that lost. There were 3 others that looked dreadfully uninspired to me. Maybe things look differently in person or was it the "please give me another chance" pleas? Dunno.
Tomorrow I will pick up my supplies at St. Vinny's and give a try.

Oh and I loved the Austin/Sorrino show. It has a lot of heart ... and quirkiness!

Off to St Vinny's------>

St Vinny's is located in a nearby whistlestop with a population of 300 or so residents. I wasn't sure exactly what I would find. Here's a pic of my booty: (hey its up there...oh well)I found faux fur in a champagne color, lots of silk scarves, a silver guitar, embossed red leaves, a bundle of workables.I did buy 2 dolls, a Barbie and a Ken, because finding my huge box of vintage Barbies would be a Herculean task. (They are somewhere in a bevy of 40 or so moving boxes I have yet to put away.)Now I'm ready.
