It’s official. Nigel Lythgoe is proud to announce that Katie Holmes will grace the stage for the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance on July 23.
The actress will dance in a tribute to Judy Garland choreographed by Tyce Diorio. Mrs. Cruise plans to donate her entire appearance fee to the Dizzy Feet Foundation, a charity founded by Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba and Hollywood producer Adam Shankman to provide scholarship opportunities for underprivileged dancers.

Star Magazine is still trying to sell us the story that Lindsay Lohan is broke as a joke.
The actress, who hasn’t starred in a major motion picture since the 2007 stinker I Know Who Killed Me, was left humiliated after she came up empty at the cash register and couldn’t pay for a manicure she’d received at Lanny Nails in Los Angeles last month.

Lordy….In a controversial interview with the new issue of Details Magazine, legendary music producer Quincy Jones remembers Michael Jackson, the man he calls his “little brother.” MJ recorded three platinum-selling LPs under QJ’s tutlege; 1979’s Off The Wall, 1982’s record-breaking Thriller, and Bad, 1987.
