So You Think You Can Dance: The Hat Claims Two More Victims

Quick, give me an adjective.  I honestly don't have an idea how to describe what just happened on So You Think You Can Dance last night, except that they were things that we didn't expect, but somehow expected, too.

And yes, I was talking about that sinister hat.  We've all discussed it before.  Vitolio had yet to get a dance that's up his alley.  Same goes for Caitlin and Jason.  Fan favorite Phillip got another hip-hop routine, and Randi and Evan got something close to their styles, too.  So, I wondered about Karla and Vitolio's quickstep, and whether it's a sign that they're going.  Or, whether Caitlin and Jason will finally prove themselves after being down in the mud for so long.  Or, all those Phillip questions.

American Idol: A Lot of Waiting For The Rest of the Top 10

And then I started wondering if there's actually anything new with the rest of the Top 10 of the recent American Idol season.  I mean, we've seen contestants outside the final two get record deals and have pretty successful post-Idol careers.  This year is no exception: Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have snagged contracts, as well as fourth-placed Allison Iraheta.  And then we wonder about the rest.

E! Online caught up with them as they rehearsed for the it's-getting-seriously-close American Idol summer tour, and then I realized that they're all pretty much in a state of limbo.

Smallville: Justin Hartley Spills A Lot About Himself

It's actually funny that the three spoilers for Smallville I spotted this week came from Justin Hartley, and only from Justin Hartley.  And they're about Justin Hartley.  Not implying anything bad here: just a pretty funny thing, at least in my warped and expired sense of humor.  Oh well.  Here then go those details he's been talking about.  I guess the Green Arrow misses shooting those arrows during the break, huh.  Oh, and close your eyes if you have to, now.

So what will he be up to?  "I think he is going to struggle with the things he has been afforded [as a result of] his powers," he told Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello.  "He has sacrificed things and done things that haunt him... It's bad stuff.  We need to get to the bottom of it."

So You Think You Can Dance: With Ridiculously Early 100th Episode Spoilers, It's A Crash Course For Me

I say that because--and I'll never get tired of admitting this--I'm pretty much the So You Think You Can Dance newbie around here.  While I'm feeling pretty good about my rooting for Caitlin and Jason's alien condom routine two nights ago, I still think I have miles to go, at least with my dance knowledge.  It's funny asking Abbey about what "lines" mean, to be honest.

So there's a little problem when the folks at SYTYCDism--as always, and again, ridiculously early--got their hands on some spoilers for the show's 100th episode, which airs on July 23.  And by spoilers, I don't mean the bit with Katie Holmes performing for the Dizzy Feet Foundation, because let's face it, we all knew that already.  And then they start talking about old routines from seasons past, and I start having a Michael Scofield-type nosebleed, because I don't know what they're talking about.

So You Think You Can Dance: Final 14 Results Show, Live Thoughts (Page 1/2)

As much as I love Wednesday night, Thursday always leaves me feeling a little queasy an uneasy. While every elimination this season has been difficult and nerve-racking, tonight's should be especially so. All of the remaining dancers are talented and joy to watch on stage and all of them more likely than not deserve to be in the top 10 and on the So You Think You Can Dance tour, but we have four eliminations before that milestone.

In spite of popularity, I fully expect to see some new faces in the bottom three this week. However, if some of the repeated guests in the Bottom 3 (Caitlin & Jason, Karla & Vitolio) find themselves dancing for their lives, it would have to be an incredible solo to save them. While the pending eliminations are upsetting, one thing about tonight's results show isn't. Of course, I'm talking about Kelly Clarkson being the musical guest, which is our best hope this season to see someone actually sing. As proved last night, the musical guests can leave the lip syncing to Brandon and Janette.

Exclusive Interview with Merlin from 'The Fashion Show'

Merlin started out his stint on The Fashion Show with a bang, instantly getting in a fight with Daniella and trying to position himself as top dog. To be fair, Merlin was supposed to be head designer that first week and Daniella wasn't trying very hard to work with him. This last week, Merlin was on his own and finally came up short. Although Merlin and Johnny R. had the same inspiration card, but Merlin's bright yellow mess of sweat pants fell flat. I had the opportunity to speak with him today about his time on The Fashion Show, the other contestants and his sense of style.

Overall, Merlin seems happy with his experience but was careful to point out that all of the other contestants hated him. Maybe because he's different or maybe because he's too confident. Either way, it's clear they didn't want him there.

Listen to the full interview below or skip down for the highlights.

Big Brother 11: Who is the 13th Houseguest and What are the Cliques?

CBS has announced 12 of the houseguests for Big Brother 11 and revealed that, as rumored, the theme this season is all about high school cliques.  The contestants will play in one of four groups: the popular kids, the athletes, the brainiacs, and the off-beats.  Based on their short bios, it's pretty easy to figure out where each houseguest will be.

However, there will be a 13th houseguest, but that person's identity is a mystery until the premiere on Thursday, July 9 at 8pm.  The fact that the houseguest is a mystery strongly implies that it's someone we already know, otherwise there's no point to the mystery.  Will it be a former Big Brother houseguest?  A celebrity?  The unborn child of Julie Chen?

Neil Patrick Harris WILL Host Emmys

UPDATE: Multiple sources now confirm that NPH will host the 2009 Emmy Awards.

Fresh from his successful stint as this year's Tony Awards host, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris is reportedly in talks to host the 61st Emmy Awards on September 20.

Last year, the award show, which celebrates the best achievements in television, was co-hosted by five reality TV mainstays: Dancing with the Stars' Tom Bergeron, Project Runway's Heidi Klum, American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst. The schizophrenic lineup was lambasted by critics for their poor chemistry and weak jokes.

Harris as the Emmys host would also provide CBS ample opportunity for How I Met Your Mother plugs, which debuts its fifth season on the network the following night.

'Big Brother 11' Houseguest Braden's Nude TV Past

Typically on Big Brother, fans have to wait for the 24/7 live feeds to give in to their voyeuristic nature and spy on the houseguests, hoping for all the bad language, revelatory secrets and, of course, nudity.  Last season Crazy James redefined the notion of a Big Brother scandal when it was revealed that he had starred in several gay pornographic films.

While Big Brother 11's Braden Bacha doesn't quite live up to that scandal, he does have a bit of a racy past of his own.  As an actor, he guest starred on the gay-themed series Dante's Cove, which airs on here!, a TV channel I've never heard of, but which is apparently a gay-themed television network other than Logo.  It's not quite X-rated, but Braden did strip down for the series, leaving nothing to the imagination.

So You Think You Can Dance: The Final 14, Who's Going Home?

Man, if you thought the judges had a hard decision the past three weeks, what they are facing tonight must be down right impossible. Last night we saw the dancers who wowed us during week one again. Performance after performance was spot on and even the disappointments of the evening were danced well. I think we're going to see some unfamiliar faces in the Bottom Three this week, though popularity could again play a bigger role than performance. Whoever ends up dancing for their lives and whoever is sent home, is going to a big loss to the show...and it's only going get worse from here.

Though I'm not as certain as in past weeks, I know who I think is going to be in danger tonight, America and I have disagreed before. So you don't have to just take my word, I've compiled the data from Fantasy TV picks slideshow rearrangements, showdowns, and poll votes to help deduce who we think will be going home tonight and who you think the front runners are after week four.

American Idol: Kris Allen on Michael Jackson

We've probably had some sort of Michael Jackson overflow over the past few days, but I think this is one of the more interesting angles I've seen: if not for his songs, Kris Allen wouldn't have won American Idol.

Okay.  Tall order, that one.  Sure, Kris started his bid for votes with an MJ song, and kicked off his Top 13 campaign with a stripped down (and more comfortable, arguably) "Remember the Time", but it was in the middle of the competition when he finally established himself as one with "artistry" and eventually gave him the closely-contested win.  More so, consider that Kris wasn't born when the King of Pop's biggest hits crashed the airwaves and turned him into who he is, for better or worse.
