A year after Mia Michaels announced she was done with So You Think You Can Dance, only to return the next season as a judge, she has once again quit the show. She told Marc Malkin, “”Last year when I was sitting on the [judges] panel, I knew it wasn’t the right fit because I felt too glossy sitting on the panel. People were so focused on what I wore and my hair. I wanted to get dirty and back to the work. I am an artist and I’m a visionary. I need to paint my world now and not be constantly linked to So You think You Can Dance.” All I have to say is good riddance and bring back Mary Murphy. Even she agrees with me because she also told Malkin, “I’ve sat in that chair, but I feel like that was Mary’s chair.”
Mia might be a good choreographer, but she was not a good judge. Personally if it were up to me I would have Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman join her by leaving the show because they don’t offer anything to judges’ table. That and they kind of creep me out by the way they talk to the contestants. Like I need a shower after I watch the show.

A few weeks ago TV Land announced that Valerie Bertinelli and her TV mom Bonnie Franklin would be reunited on the small screen in Hot in Cleveland and Wolfiesmom just Tweeted this picture and said “Me & my sweet Bonnie on the set of Hot in Cleveland last night. I love this woman!” The 50 year old actress and her 66 year old TV mom look exactly the same now as they did when their show One Day at a Time ended 26 years ago.
I am not sure when their episode will air on TV Land, but the hit show with Valerie, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White is back in January!!!
Desperate Housewives in its 7th season and Daily Mail is reporting that two of the original Housewives might not be around for the 9th season. The British tabloid is saying that Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman are planning on leaving the show after next season. “Teri has given in her notice and is making active preparations to move on,” says a TV insider. “She has another production deal in the pipeline and she is in the early stages of developing a sitcom that she wants to start work on immediately after she finishes Desperate Housewives – she wants a new show in time for the mid-January pilot season.” The article did not say what Felicity would do, but maybe her husband William H Macy and her could do something together.
Personally this show has been over for years, so if their departure means the end of it then let it be. I won’t miss wasting an hour of my time every week wishing and hoping the show could recapture what it was during its first season.
UPDATE: Teri Hatcher denied the story on her Facebook.
There are not enough adjectives to describe how stupid, off base, and ridiculously untrue this is. “Newspapers” should be accountable for this kind of irresponsible journalism and reckless fabrication of a story. What disturbs me the most is that one fan would consider for one second that I would “quit” what has been …
I have never said nor inferred otherwise. They made no effort to contact me or my representatives or the network to fact check. I am awaiting a retraction and apology at the least for mucking up everyone’s Sunday with this huge, hurtful lie. I will say it again, I love DH, the cast and crew are like family and I am with it till its cancelled.
Vanessa Williams and the writers have brought a new energy to the show this year and I expect and hope it can continue on for a long time. I meet many people who still find so much joy in watching it and I want everyone to know I’m joyful to be involved to this day and that’s not going to change.
Fox announced their new mid-season lineup and American Idol is moving to Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have to wonder if Fox is afraid of TV’s top rated shows CBS’s NCIS and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and that is why they are movingIdol away from them. Plus there has been plenty of speculation that AI will no longer be TV top rated show for the season now that Simon Cowell left the show and he is being replaced by Steven Tyler and J-Lo, and moving it nights where there is less competition might help its ratings? The good news is Bones is getting a great lead-in at 9p on Thursday, the bad news is that Fringe is moving to the Friday deathslot against Supernatural. American Dad also was given the writing on the wall because Fox moved it to Sundays at 7:30p, although looking at the preview of Bob’s Burgers it might get its old time slot back and the writing might be erased. Hopefully!
