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.

Are Page Six and ‘Mr. Television’ Conspiring Against Jimmy Fallon?

Wednesday’s edition of Page Six reports that the ratings for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon are down 20 percent from May of 2009 and that NBC executives are “on edge” over the fall. Gasp! Says Mediaweek’s Marc Berman — who actually goes by the late, great Milton Berle’s old nickname “Mr. Television” — “When they took out Jay and put in Conan, they lost a lot of the viewers who would usually have stayed on to watch Fallon. The lead-in is pivotal . . . When you mess around with viewers, sometimes it’s hard to get them back. TV is a very fickle business . . . If there is a lesson to be learned from this debacle, it is that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Good point, Mr. TV! And good thing Fallon isn’t broken.

The Lost DVD Epilogue Will Answer All Your Walt and Food-Drop Questions

Still scratching your head over Lost despite our attempt to tie up almost 100 of the show’s loose ends ? You’re in luck, as the previously announced DVD epilogue is going to have a lot more to it then just showing what happened on the island after Hurley and Ben were in charge. In fact, it sounds like this extra bit of bonus content is actually a subtle mea culpa for executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and a way to provide some of the answers that the actual show never gave.

Heidi and Spencer Legally Separate

Though this is probably part of a carefully staged master plan that will lead to at least two nervous breakdowns inside of Movieline HQ, we are duty-bound to inform you that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have legally separated. Why is this of cultural significance? Because Us Weekly says it is. Now, who wants to guess what Speidi’s next trick will be ? A televised marriage renewal ceremony with Extra correspondents Mario Lopez and Terri Seymour as best man and maid of honor, perhaps? [ TMZ ]

TBS Starts Own Emmy Campaign for Conan O’Brien’s NBC Tonight Show

Hoping August’s Emmy Awards are a bit more awkward than usual this year? So is TBS. In an act that can only be described as full-on taunting, the network has taken out a series of “For Your Consideration” ads for The Tonight Show with Conan O’B rien with the hopes of landing O’B rien an Emmy nomination and placement on the NBC telecast. “Conan’s great work in 2009 and 2010 deserves Emmy consideration. We’re very excited to have him join TBS later this year,” said Turner Entertainment Networks president Steve Koonin, presumably with a massive, sh*t-eating grin. The ads make no mention of NBC — or Jay Leno — but they do make jokes about Coco’s skin and Twitter following. So there’s that. Take a look after the jump.
