“We are disappointed that Billy cannot continue dancing in the competition on the advice of his doctor and wish him a speedy recovery,” SYTYCD executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe said in a statement. “However, we are fortunate that Brandon Dumlao has agreed to return.”

“Fox has no further comment,” a rep for the network said this afternoon.

Mia Michaels earned an Outstanding Choreography Emmy Award last month for her season four routine “Mercy.”

She tells Us that three months after they wed, her now ex-husband raped her for the first time — and continued to do so for more than a decade. For years, “I’d have black eyes and bruises,” she tells Us. “But I never called the police or went to the hospital. I didn’t want anybody to know.”

In 1985, Mary discovered that her husband – from a wealthy family in the Middle East – had proposed to another woman during one of his trips. “This is what motivated me to leave him,” she says.

Her ex-husband says Mary’s claims are “flat-out lies.”

Panties are our friends, ladies.

The woman, known only as ‘Contestant 22036′, was featured on a montage clip of those who made it through to the semi-final round in Las Vegas. After receiving the good news, she falls to the floor in amazement and rolls over revealing her…er…lady parts.

As a filmmaker, it’s an honor to be able to recognize choreographers and dancers, and to be able to bring all of this amazing work into America’s homes,” Adam continued. “These kids challenge themselves every week, and it’s great for people to see how terrific these dancers are.”

She’s been unemployed for less than 24 hours, but Paula Abdul already has a new job offer on the table. Former American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has invited the “Rush Rush” singer to join his FOX reality dance hit So You Think You Can Dance as a judge and choreographer.

On Tuesday night, Paula took to her Twitter page to reveal that she would not be returning as a judge for the ninth season of American Idol after failing to come to a satisfactory contract agreement with series producers.

“With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon,” she Tweeted. “What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month. I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”

Sad times, she will be missed. On the upside, Nigel wants Paula to know that she’s always welcome to use her expertise as a former Laker Girl and acclaimed choreographer on SYTYCD.

“We’ve certainly invited her here, and we’ve invited her to do some choreography this season as well. We just haven’t been able to get it together at the moment, obviously because negotiations with FOX have been at the top of her mind,” Lythgoe told Yahoo! Music of the offer.

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the performance!!

Katie’s taped segment aired near the end of the show — she said her reason for doing the show was to introduce the new Dizzy Feet Foundation to the world.

“It is to give scholarships to these young kids,” Katie tells Cat of the charity — which was a collaborative effort with Nigel Lythgoe, Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba and director and choreographer Adam Shankman. “I think it is important to experience music and dancing and singing and the arts and sports. This is the next generation. I think it is important to give them every opportunity to grow and discover what it is that they like and to have access to the best.”
