Top 20 finalist Billy Bell has left So You Think You Can Dance because of a health problem, Fox announced Monday.
Hip-hop dancer Brandon Dumlao is scheduled to replace him.

So You Think You Can Dance

Now that the top 20 has been revealed, it's time to get to know them a little better. Who's the closet singer? Who fears the newest permanent judge, Adam Shankman? ...

Adam Shankman
Look out, Ellen DeGeneres: Adam Shankman is stealing your thunder.
"We're going to have a third resident judge now. Adam Shankman is going to come and join us," So You Think You Can Dance judge Nigel Lythgoe told TVGuide.com.
Shankman, a director (Hairspray, A Walk to Remember), producer (17 Again, Bedtime Stories) and choreographer, has been guest judging on So You Think You Can Dance since season 3. Back in June, Shankman kicked off a Twitter campaign asking fans for support to secure him a permanent spot at the judges' table.

Bedtime Stories
For Adam Sandler fans, seeing the comedian in Bedtime Stories may come as a surprise. Stripped of mature jokes and references (well, mostly), the fantastical, family movie focuses on a down-and-out hotel handyman who begins to achieve his dreams through his imagination.
For Adam Sandler, the prospect of making a Disney movie meant he finally had a movie he could take his children to see.
"I've always wanted to do a family movie," the father of two told press a recent Saturday. "I wanted to make sure that I made one movie in my career that mothers hugged me for."
As Skeeter, a man whose dreams of... More, after the jump.

Could same-sex partnering make its way to the So You Think You Can Dance stage? "Anything can happen," Dance choreographer and guest judge Adam Shankman told TVGuide.com after the Season 4 finale. "It's reality television."Since rumors that Lance Bass could be a contestant on the next season of Dancing with the Stars, some fans speculate that dance shows might soon include same-sex partners.DWTS pro Cheryl Burke said recently that America isn't ready for such pairing, but Shankman is intrigued. "I would be thrilled to see something like that," he said. "It would be so new and it would break so many barriers and just crash through walls. I would love that."He doesn't know if producers would go for it."They're trying to keep people in their comfort zone," Shankman said. "But at the same time, they're trying to create new ways to keep the shows fresh, so that would be a way." After seeing Joshua and Twitch's Russian number on Dance and the top two girls' umbrella routine, could — ...

Glenn Close by Larry Riley/FX, Jon Hamm courtesy AMC, Katherine Heigl by Scott Garfield/ABC
Katherine Heigl is in good company. Damages' Glenn Close and Mad man Jon Hamm are among the latest Golden Globe nominees to come forth and say they will not cross the WGA picket line to attend the big show. "There's no way I would cross a picket line," Variety quotes Hamm as saying. "Not only in respect to [executive producer] Matt [Weiner], but I'm in 100 percent agreement with him in this fight. It would be a drag not to go, but you have to take a stand."But will the Jan. 13 Globes ceremony actually be targeted by picketers? Hairspray helmer Adam Shankman tells Variety, "I think it would be a smack in the face if there was striking at the ceremony because it would be undermining the achievements of their own guild. I think it's a horribly counterintuitive idea to strike something that celebrates their own membership."What's your take? Would the WGA be right to picket upcoming red-carpet events? Or should they, as has been discussed, grant waivers "allowing" stars and scribes to a...

Tonight was the season finale of SYTYCD and we found out the winner.The top 20 dancers were back to perform group numbers and some of their best individual routines. There were few surprises in store for us during this two-hour episode.The show opened with Tyce’s take on a routine from The Lion King. It was great to see the top 20 all back together; it was also great to finally see a Broadway number done right. Broadway numbers really cannot be done without 10 or more people. We were also treated to group dance routines by the top eight and 10.We were then treated to the routines that the choreographers wanted to see again. These routines, in order of performance, were:Mary: Pasha and Lauren — Shane’s TransformerNigel: Hok and Jamie — Wade’s Hummingbird and FlowerJean-Marc: Dom and SabraAdam: Sara and Neil — discoWade: Lacey and Danny — Dmitry’s sambaShane: Sara and Pasha — Benji’s West Coast swingTyce: Danny and Anya — fox-trot...

There are two weeks to go until the final episode. All I can say is: Already? That means summer is coming to an end.Tonight’s judges are Adam Shankman, Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe, and each dancer will dance two different routines in two different styles with the same partner.Danny and SaraFirst Routine: Argentine Tango choreographed by Alex DeSilva to "Whatever Lola Wants" by Sarah Vaughan & Gotan Project. I just loved this number and I am starting to see some more personality in Danny — he actually connected. I am just wondering if Sara out-danced him. What do you guys think?Second Routine: Hip Hop choreographed by Shane Sparks to "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa.Loved the song — brought back some fun memories. This is the first time I’ve seen Danny looking like he was having fun.Dominic and LaurenFirst Routine: Krump choreographed by Lil C to "I Get Money" by 50 Cent.I just didn’t feel anything from this number. I also did not get the feeling that they were...
