Is Katie Holmes Dancing Down Under?
July 10th, 2009 / Author: Mary Beth Quirk
While Katie Holmes is keeping busy filming Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark down under in Melbourne, Australia, we hope she’s packed her dancing shoes: the actress is performing the number “Get Happy” from Judy Garland’s Broadway musical Summerstock on So You Think You Can Dance in just two short weeks, on July 23.
Choreographer Tyce Diorio dished to E! about Katie’s work for the number, as he reveals, “It’s not something in my opinion that’s just, ‘Oh, how nice.’ It’s not going to be that. ‘Oh nice…oh good. Oh, that’s good. Look how sweet that is.’ No. It’s real. It’s as real as what you’re seeing now [on the SYTYCD stage]. I’m very proud of it. I talk really highly of Katie. She is amazing.”

Nigel Lythgoe & Katie Holmes Team Up
July 2nd, 2009
Who knew Katie Holmes would become so dedicated to dance? On last night’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance, judge and producer Nigel Lythgoe announced that he and Katie were teaming up with Adam Shankman and Carrie Ann Inaba to found the Dizzy Feet Foundation, to encourage children to dance who might not otherwise be able to.
Dizzy Feet will provide scholarships and assistance to "talented underserved youth to help them realize their dreams of becoming professional dancers and will also help elevate and standardize dance instruction nationwide."
Nigel also announced that Katie will perform during the show’s 100th episode on July 23 on Fox, doing a Judy Garland number, "Get Happy" from Summer Stock.
"I think it’s important for children to experience music and dance," said Katie. "Every child should have the opportunity to discover what it is they like and have access to the very best in that pursuit."
TV Weekly Recap: Nigel, Sandra Lee and Dolly Parton!
May 1st, 2009
What a week!
Not only did I have a visit with Idol castoffs Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai (read all they had to say in the upcoming issue of OK! magazine, on sale, Thurs. May 7), So You Think You Can Dance judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy popped in too.
I asked the question everyone is dying to know: Will Sex be back?
“Yes, David is back,” Nigel revealed. He refuses to call Sex, a.k.a. David Soller, by his self-appointed stage name. We can relate.
“This time we put him through,” Nigel declared.
O.M.G. That’s going to be TV that cannot be missed.
Look for Sex and the rest of the So You Think You Can Dance crew to return Thurs. May 21 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast made by semi-homemade queen herself Sandra Lee at a launch party for her new cooking show, Sandra’s Money Saving Meals.
On the new series, Sandra teaches cash-strapped families how to best shop the grocery stores for the best prices on food, and then whip up those thrifty purchases into an incredible meal.
“It’s is an aspiration, it’s attainable and it’s affordable,” she shared.
Sandra’s Money Saving Meals premieres just in time for Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10 at 12 p.m. on the Food Network.
Still the week wasn’t complete until I was on the red carpet for the opening night of 9 to 5: The Musical, now running at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in New York City.
(You may recall, 9 to 5 was actually turned into a TV series in 1982 and returned to air in 1986!)
There I met the gracious and amazing Dolly Parton.
Even though she had done a slew of video interviews on the carpet, the petite country diva was kind enough to return over to us print reporters saying, “Sorry I didn’t mean to skip you all.”
Oh Miss Parton, all the more reason to love you!
FYI: If you’re a fan of the NYC Housewives, the network is hosting first ever live ultimate virtual viewing party for the finale of The Real Housewives of New York City, Tuesday, May 5 at 10 p.m. on Bravo. Fans of the show can chat about the series via Twitter, Facebook Connect, and live mobile chat!
Until next week, fellow fanatics!
