Snooki of Jersey Shore fame stepped out last night with blue eyes, a big change from her usual dark brown. If it weren’t for the fact that she remains a 4′ orange oompa loompa-like being, we might not have recognized her! The reality star also known as Nicole Polizzi tweeted that she thought she looked like “a vampire” with the new contacts in. It’s true, we could see her on The Vampire Diaries (provided she gets devoured by a werewolf in short order). What do you think of the look? Vote on her best eye color below:
We knew it !!!! Now that Reggie Bush is making his living in a city often frequented by Kim Kardashian, an insider tells Life & Style that the Dolphins running back wants to try again with his ex, August 20 wedding to Kris Humphries be damned. … or is it? “He’s been sending text messages to Kim and leaving her voice mails, telling her she’s making a mistake and that he’s the one for her,” a source says . Bush may be “begging” Kardashian for another chance, this mole claims, but “she’s truly moved on” and is excited topad her bank accountmarry Humphries in just over a week. But should she be? Or should she get back together with Bush?
Katie Holmes and Kenny Ortega joined So You Think You Can Dance judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy this week, as the final four took to the stage four times each – and it showed in a few sloppy results. Marko & Melanie – Disco (Doriana Sanchez) – It’s been a long time since there was a disco and I’m happy that Doriana hasn’t stopped putting insane lifts in her routines. There was something unsexy about Melanie; she needed to let loose. She was worried about the lifts. There was something awkward when the two dancers went between lifts and placing Melanie down. The high amounts of color and sparkles covered up the mistakes. My Grade: B- Sasha & Mark – Jazz (Sonya Tayeh) – The dance was an ode to Sasha; how she would overcome obstacles. Sasha was lucky to get a catered routine. As much as Mark is my favorite dancer, Sonya made sure that he was Sasha’s accessory; Mark made sure that Sasha looked perfect in every scene. My Grade: B+ Tadd & Joshua – Hip-Hop (Lil’ C), pictured – The dance was supposed to be about being a hustler, but Tadd looked too nice. The routine had strong choreography, but there were moments where Josh looked behind in timing. I was worried that Tadd would trip over his shoe, but it never fell off. I liked the floor gliding motions at the end, but there was nothing captivating overall. My Grade: C+ Melanie & Robert – Contemporary (Stacey Tookey) – The routine was about a love that can’t happen. It helped that Melanie was placed in a routine that she could excel in. She looked effortless in comparison to the disco and Robert easily lifted her without struggle. There was nothing wrong with the routine. It was a well-executed, but sleepy. My Grade: B+ Sasha & Marko – Broadway (Spencer Liff) – The routine is about a waiter and Sasha as “Lola.” Marko had to wear glasses that had straps around his head so it wouldn’t fall down. There were nice table moves but the synchronization wasn’t the best. Marko plays a really good awkward waiter, but both were strong actors. My Grade: B Melanie – Solo – Melanie went with the classical music approach which helped emphasize her moves. She didn’t do many, but each move had intention and focus so she didn’t fall out of anything or wobble once. Marko – Solo – Marko also chose a slower tempo song, but unlike Melanie, he threw the whole kitchen sink in the routine as he spun around trying to make sure that he was using his solo to its maximum potential. Sasha & Tadd – Cha-Cha (Mark Ballas) – Mark finally had a chance to do a routine without the limitations of Dancing with the Stars and the only part I liked was the sexual tension. Sasha had fire during her splits, but I was distracted by Tadd’s awful pants. Was Tadd was losing circulation? The couple needed more cha-cha steps. My Grade: D+ Marko & Lauren – Contemporary (Tassandra Chavez) – I appreciate fresh blood in the choreographer pool and having Tassandra create a beautiful routine I hope she comes back. Marko and Lauren played the characters beautifully and unlike the sleepy Melanie/Robert routine, you could see the same amount of anguish but through sharper and emphasized movements. Lauren stumbled through one spin sequence, but she didn’t let it faze her. My Grade: A- Tadd – Solo – Tadd continues a playful and powerful routine. His breaking was still good, but I loved when he swam on the floor. It’s a move that is probably easy to do, but Tadd gave it spirit. Melanie & Tadd – Broadway (Ray Leeper) – Melanie’s kicks were off and kicking Tadd looked wrong. Melanie’s acting skills were convincing and Tadd did well acting goofy. Tadd was given a lot of time to do different power moves and to please his apparent fan club when he went shirtless the second half of the routine, then pant-less in the final few seconds. My Grade: B+ Sasha – Solo – Sasha started on the side of the stage and her routine had more of Sasha’s softer side. I wished the routine lasted longer, because it took Sasha a while to fully embrace the music. Sasha & Melanie – Contemporary (Stacey Tookey) – The concept was about suppressed housewives and I loved the fences and costuming. Seeing two girls who are seen as powerful warriors become meek housewives was great. I believed the whole routine and was transported into their 1950s world. My Grade: A- Marko & Tadd – Gumboot Stepping (Chuck Maldonado) – From the get-go, neither looked good. It was as if the producers wanted to shoot the two male dancers in the foot and guarantee a Sasha or Mallory win. Marko didn’t have enough edge and he looked winded. The two dancers’ motions were nowhere near close to synchronized. The performance ended and there was a little applause. My Grade: F The judges seem to be pressuring for a girl to win this season. so my predictions are: Sasha (Winner), Melanie (2nd), Tadd (3rd), Marko (4th). Of course, Sasha auditioned both in seasons 4 and 6, so this would be her full circle redemption.
There were eliminations on America’s Got Talent last night, but no surprises. Find out below who went home and who will perform again… Eliminations Part 1 – Powerhouse and Gymkana – If I wanted to watch a good Glee -style singing group… I’d watch Glee . Powerhouse wasn’t the best group and there were too many voices muffling the routine. Gymkana, on the other hand, had a strong routine and advanced through. Musical Guest – Tay Zonday, “Chocolate Rain,” pictured – I loved that the song continued to sound so amateur even though he was performing in front of America. I also loved his chair. Musical Guest – Keenan Cahill – The routine was silly but fun to watch. Nick Cannon faux-sing/rapping was a nice change. Keenan’s jacket looked horrible. Musical Performance – OK Go ft. Pilobolus, “All Is Not Lost”- The routine was really interesting and had wonderful shapes created with bodies. There is something unflattering about seeing squashed butts and the bottoms of feet on a piece of Plexiglas. Eliminations Part 2 – Matt Wilhelm, TNC Elite, Aeon – Matt continued to prove that black lights, shadows, or neon are the way to succeed in America’s Got Talent. It was foreboding that TNC looked depressed as they walked to the stage; they knew that it was Matt’s round to lose. Aeon didn’t have the right scenery to make a beautiful routine; they should have gone with more walls and places to jump off of. Matt was easily through. Musical Performance – Rebecca Black , “My Moment/Friday” – Rebecca still isn’t a good singer, but she’s gotten better. Maybe it was the arrangement or the fact that her performance lasted like 15 seconds, but it wasn’t bad. Eliminations Part 3 – Kalani Basketball Freestyle, Brett Daniels, Kevin Colis, Breena Bell – When balls go down, America doesn’t normally give second chances so Kalani was out of luck. The magic trick from Brett was too slow for America. The judges did a great job shooting down Breena without killing her dreams. While I hated Kevin’s song choice, of the four that he was standing against, he did the best. I still argue that his voice isn’t miraculous. Let’s hope he chooses a better song next time. Musical Performance – Up & Over It, “Hands” – I watched Britain’s Got Talent and I loved Up & Over It this year. I was happy they were given more than 15 seconds than the other YouTube acts. They managed to segue their hand dancing to their Irish dancing better than Britain’s Got Talent. If they did this routine instead of “9 to 5,” they would have advanced further. Final Elimination – West Springfield Dance Team, Gabe Rocks, Beth Ann Robinson – West Springfield Dance Team needs a better name, if they are always dark; they need a name to match. We need a good animal act and Gabe Rocks was strong, but could have been better. Watching both So You Think You Can Dance and this show, Beth Ann Robinson shows future growth potential but I’m not sure if she’s ready. The act that was eliminated was Gabe Rocks. When the groups begged for the judge’s vote, Beth Ann came off sounding pageant-y, but more confident than the Dance Team’s representative. The judging started with Piers and he continued to demean Gabe Rocks, voting for Beth. Sharon pointed out that Beth was a perfectionist, but she voted for West Springfield. Howie had the last vote and went for Beth Ann Robinson. It didn’t matter, though, since Sharon put West Spring in the wild card.
Tay Zonday — the dude behind that “Chocolate Rain” song — is making his triumphant return to relevance …. singing the one song perfect for his deceptively deep voice ..
