So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy has been slapped with a $1 million lawsuit by her former manager Michael Sanchez. He is suing for unpaid commissions and damages. In the suit, he calls her a “desperate, cocaine-fueled nymphomaniac.”
Omigosh! Mary is being dragged through the gutter for ratings!

▶ Read MoreSo You Think You Can Dance Season 9 will have two winners: a girl and a guy.
Since there will only be one episode per week (to give way to FOX’s new show The Choice), beginning Episode 2, the judges will eliminate 2 dancers based on viewer vote and judges’ critique.
This is essentially a variation of the rules of Randy Jackson presents America’s Best Dance Crew. LOL

▶ Read MoreOn the same day that Nigel Lythgoe was conducting auditions in Atlanta, FOX entertainment president Kevin Reilly revealed at the TCA that So You Think You Can Dance will be adopting a weekly 2-hour format combining performances and the results.
