Katie Holmes didn’t dance so much as she just let everyone else dance around her while she lip synched the song.

I totally read that as Lindsay bringing the pap smears! OMG, a Friday Fail!

I seriously hope Paula doesn’t come to SYTUCD. I already have to mute the TV when Mary Murphy talks, now I’ll have to when Paula does too….ugh.

I read that Linsanity called the paps herself!

i wouldnt mind if Paula was a GUEST judge once or twice…but not a permanent judge.
and i cant believe all that hype for katie..that whole show was a let down..crappiest 100th ever. but i was happy to see some of the old faces ( like hok,travis,joshua & twitch)

The video of Katie Holmes is no longer available. Ugh, I wanted to see that…just to see what it was all about.

i just looked up katie holmes on youtube and it came up. it looked more like a homage to britney to me!

@heather — her performance was a tribute to a famous performance by Judy Garland.

Well… I’m going to come to the defense of Katie Holmes. I think she did just fine and while it wasn’t a smash hit out of the park, I don’t feel it sucked.

No, Thom, no!!!!

The Katie Holmes thing wasn’t really dancing…It was more her lip-synching and sort of posing with the occasional kick. After all of the build up in the press, I was expecting her to dance. I would have thought she is savvy enough to realize it wasn’t going to be good. Of course, she is married to the couch-jumper, so maybe his lack of common sense has rubbed off.

I’m SO excited for the New Moon soundtrack. Their music director is amazing, and I usually am a fan of stuff she uses in the shows/movies she works on, or quickly become one. Twilight had a great soundtrack and it sounds like new moon will as well…..@Krissy: Radiohead let them use 15 Step for the credits of Twilight, so that makes him writing a song for new moon even easier to understand. I know Katherine was a fan/may be friendly with them.

Aw I love Eric Szmanda (:
