So You Think You Can Dance Top 11: Who’s the Top Contender?

So You Think You Can Dance pulled an American Idol -season-eight on us last night, opting to add an extra dancer to its planned contestant count. Television gets magical that way. We’re left with a pretty airtight Top 11, one that includes the right amount of contemporary, ballroom, salsa, and various performers who are always ready to cry. But only one can be the favorite going into tonight’s first competition round, and we’ve got his/her emotional performance (You’ll notice krump founder Lil’ C is weeping here) after the jump.

Heads Up, L.A.: Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright Chats Added at LAFF

The Los Angeles Film Festival is always known to add a few big names and events at its leisure, usually with a week’s notice to remind locals that yes, this fest is happening, and you might consider checking it out. And 2010 is no different, with a cluster of pretty high-profile visitors announced late Wednesday — and plenty of tickets still on sale (for now).

Summer of Discontent Awaits Knight and Day, Jonah Hex

Maybe the Les Grossman movie isn’t such a bad idea after all. With only three weeks to go until release, the box-office tracking on Tom Cruise’s Knight and Day is apparently inline with what the tracking was for Killers prior to its release. Gulp. Were it to disappoint, the heavily hyped and budgeted summer tentpole would join — oh, just about every other heavily hyped and budgeted summer tentpole in 2010. In fact, the only movie that might live up to its advanced buzz is Jonah Hex . The comic-book adaptation is also tracking poorly, which should come as a surprise to not one person on earth. When does Inception come out again? [ Deadline ]

Movieline Forecasts Glee’s Second-Season Character Arcs

To paraphrase The Treasure of the Sierra Madre : Cliffhangers? Glee don’t need no stinkin’ cliffhangers! The season finale of America’s current obsession felt like a series finale with the way it neatly wrapped up all the plot strands that had accumulated throughout the season: New Directions was canceled, but then saved; Rachel and Finn got back together; Quinn had her baby and gave it away; Other Asian had a line of dialogue. Where can the show go from here?! Movieline breaks out the crystal ball and predicts what lies ahead for the denizens of William McKinley High School.

Glee’s Ratings Reach a New Direction

Watch Patrick Stewart Take Things from Zero to Awkward at Warp Speed

If you were blown away by Salma Hayek’s overreaction to a slithering snake, then get ready for something even more out-of-hand: Patrick Stewart stone-cold losing it on stage because some fattie dared to put his hands in his pockets, or something. I’m paraphrasing! Still, this Glamour Awards spat between the knighted actor and British comedian James Corden is just so, so cringe-inducing that the writers for The Office might as well hang up their hats, confident it will never be topped. And then Zoe Saldana comes onstage and sells out her Star Trek predecessor! Man, if you need me, I’ll have cringed myself into a fetal ball like a sawbug under attack.
