QUOTE OF THE DAY...

FOX censors apparently didn't work when they showed So You Think You Can Dance contestant #22036's "lower area" on last night's show - Judge and Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe had this to say about the camera slip,

"None of us knew she did this. The show was always designed to expose talent, but not in this way."

Hahahaha!!

EMANUEL SANDHU CAN DANCE?!

Emanuel Sandhu is BACK!!

The Canadian figure skater who is a three-time Canadian national champion and won the 2004 Grand Prix is in the top 20 on this season's So You Think You Can Dance Canada!!

AND THE WINNER OF THIS SEASON'S SYTYCD IS...

Congrats to Jeanine Mason for winning this season's So You Think You Can Dance last night!!

Check out myself, Zack Taylor on location interviewing the judges for SYTYCD way back before the season started below...

NIGEL LYTHGOE APOLOGIZES!!

Nigel Lythgoe, a judge and executive producer on the popular reality competition show, So You Think You Can Dance has taken back his words today after the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation got mad over homophobic remark he made towards Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel, a male couple who auditioned last week to be on the show together. During the show Nigel said,

“I think you probably alienate a lot of our audience - I mean, we’ve always had the guys dance together on the show, but they’ve never really done it each other’s arms before. Do you know what? I’d like to see you both dancing with a girl.”

In an apology today Nigel says,

“I sincerely regret the fact that I have upset people with the poor word choices and comments I made.”

Check out my video interviews with Nigel and the rest of last season's contestants from the SYTYCD kick-off event in Hollywood last week...

SYTYCD AUSTRALIA!!

How amazing is the above promo for So You Think You Can Dance Australia?! I have a feelin' it'll be better than the American and Canadian shows... What do you think??

AND THE WINNER OF SYTYCD CANADA IS...

So earlier tonight was the So You Think You Can Dance Canada finale. The final four dancers: Natalli, Nico, Allie, and Miles all competed to see who would win the $100,000 prize and the title of, Canada's Favourite Dancer... CLICK HERE to find out the results!!

LOOK-A-LIKES?!

So You Think You Can Dance Canada's Lara Smythe and actress, Hayden Panettiere...

I was watching the show the other night and they look SO MUCH A-LIKE!! She is def. one of my favourites on the show, and VERY HOT to watch - Maybe even hotter than Hayden :)

SYTYCD CANADA RECAP...

Earlier tonight was the first ever episode for So You Think You Can Dance Canada where the top 20 were paired-up and had to dance in front of a live audience to gain viewer votes...

Well, I watched it all, and here's what I thought of EVERYTHING (see the full list of competitors by going here)...

Hottest Dancers: Natalli Reznik, Arassay Reyes, Romina D'Ugo

Best Dancer: Allie Bertram

Best Couple: Vincent Noiseux & Lisa Auguste

Most Annoying Dancer: Tamina Pollack-Paris

Worst Dancers: Breanne Wong & Izaak Smith (this is sad because I actually liked Breanne during the audition rounds)

Now for what I thought about the judges and host... Leah Miller looked hot, but she was SOOOO annoying to listen to and her improvisation was pathetic!! Blake McGrath was a breath of fresh air, and was totally hilarious - He is by far the best judge on the show... We'll see what tomorrow night brings on the results show, and who stays & who goes home!!

SYTYCD CANADA: GO BREANNE WONG!!

The top 20 on the first ever season of So You Think You Can Dance Canada has been revealed and I must say a bunch of my favourites (including Lara Smyth and Jesse Catibog) made it through!!

One girl, who I've been watchin' from the start & I think will make it far in the competition is Breanne Wong... She was one of my favourites ever since she showed up to her first audition in a, Brains Not Bombs t-shirt and did her AMAZING routine...

Hopefully she'll do well... Tune in Wed. night @ 8PM ET/PT to see how they all do!!

THE FIRST EVER TV POP BATTLE!!

In case you missed it last night on the So You Think You Can Dance season finale, Robert Muraine and Phillip Chbeeb had the first ever TV pop battle...

LADY GAGA DANCES/SINGS HER WAY OUT OF THE CLOSET!!

She kissed a girl and she REALLY liked it!! Lady Gaga, who performed on, So You Think You Can Dance last night with her hit single, Just Dance has come out of the closet as bisexual!! She's so much cooler than fake bisexual Tila Tequila!!

In a new interview she said,

Are you really as boy-crazy as your lyrics suggest?
Yeah. Well, I’m girl-crazy too. I really depends on where I am. I love men, I love women and I love sex, but I’m actually pretty introverted right now because I’m so enveloped in my work, and it’s hard to let anybody near that. People fuck with your energy, and it’s very hard to find people that are supportive of your art and don’t want to take time away from it. A lot of times, boyfriends and girlfriends get jealous and want all your attention, and I really don’t have time for that.

Do you consider yourself bisexual?
Sure. I mean, I don’t really consider sexual orientation in general. It’s like, people are born the way they are.

All I know is her song totally rocks!! If you're a fan of Lady Gaga, click here and add her to your Hot List!!
