The Dallas News has a report from the first season 4 auditions. Apparently we'll be seeing more of The ShankMan this season. Did you know he directed Hairspray?

Southern Methodist University hosted the auditions and has a slideshow on their site.

The Lifetime network jumps on the dance reality bandwagon with Your Mama Don’t Dance, though it sounds like it should be named Dancing With Somebody's Mom (Or Dad). Hmmm, does that studio look familiar?

Actress and Mom Mira Sorvino talks about why she loves So You Think You Can Dance:

I love that show. It's so silly, but I love dancing, and it's one of the only shows on T.V. that I feel like I can watch with my three year old and my one-and-a-half year old because there's nothing violent about it, nothing scary, even the criticism is not really mean. Sometimes I feel like American Idol, they're so vicious, that it almost sets up a bad message for kids that they have to be perfect otherwise people are going to mock them painfully. And I think Dance has such a spirit of fun to it and my daughter calls them princesses, because of the sparkling dresses they wear, and she gets very excited when one of them is wearing pink.

We have 3 stories from Australia from which we learn that host Natalie Bassingthwaighte (Oy, that name!) has a dance background, that Australians don't have much front but they do have heart, and that there was so much dance talent that the top 100 had to be stretched to 142.
