Katie’s Choreographer Teaches Tom How to Dance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television,
Tom Cruise has been taking dance lessons from his wife’s choreographer.
The 47-year-old actor teamed up with Jennifer Lopez to perform a comic routine at last night’s MTV Movie Awards in the guise of his Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman and revealed his spouse Katie Holmes had helped him with his extensive preparations for the sketch.
“I worked with Katie’s choreographer, Tyce Diorio. Katie loved it. She was there while we were working on it. You know, I can dance a bit and we rehearsed, and my wife’s a dancer and so I like dancing,” he said, speaking after the performance.
The routine saw Tom being spanked by the Back Up Plan star, who stopped him returning the gesture, and ended with the Knight and Day actor trying and failing to do the splits. Tom admitted he had a great time portraying the foul-mouthed, fat, balding producer in a series of sketches at the awards, which took place at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles.
“It was a lot of fun - it was great. It was a blast!” he added.

So You Think You Can Dance Choreographer Accused of Rape
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
UPDATE: Prosecutors have not yet filed any charges. Da Silva will be released while the investigation continues.
This FOX scandal might just top anything ever connected to American Idol.
Over the weekend, So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Alex Da Silva was taken in by police on suspicion of sexual assault. The arrest stemmed from alleged incidents involving four different women.
Although the 41-year-old salsa dancer had been previously accused of sexual assault in 2003, 2004 and 2005, charges were never filed by the prosecutors office. After a new complaint on March 28, the LAPD went back and reinterviewed Alex’s previous accusers. Similar stories filed by all four women - all unknown to each other - led to Saturday’s arrest.
“The victims allege that he lured them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys,” a statement from the police department read. “He then used a ruse to get them into his bedroom, where he raped them.”
