Two Go Home, Top 10 of 'SYTYCD' Revealed

Karen Hauer and Victor Smalley who were partnered this week had to walk away with no 'So You Think You Can Dance' trophy in hand.

The Top 12 of "So You Think You Can Dance" season 6 have been wilted down to mere 10. Married ballroom dancer couple Ashleigh Di Lello and Ryan Di Lello are through to the next round but Karen Hauer and Victor Smalley have to stop their journey on the show.

During the deliberation, Karen and Victor were joined in the bottom three by Mollee and Nathan; and Ellenore and Ryan. All six of them had to dance for their lives if they wanted to stay in the competition. Karen was criticized for looking like she has surrendered and thus was the first to be eliminated. On the other hand, Victor delivered an energetic piece but it was not enough to convince the judges to keep him.

The Top 10 apart from the Di Lellos are thus Russell Ferguson, Mollee Gray, Jakob Karr, Noelle Marsh, Kathryn McCormick, Jonathan "Legacy" Perez, Ellenore Scott and Nathan Trasoras. Now that only 10 dancers remain, partners are randomly assigned each week and judges will no longer have the voice in who should go home. Viewers will have the right to vote for their favorites.

Adam Lambert Explains AMAs Middle Finger Gesture

Adam Lambert says the middle finger he gestured to the audience of American Music Awards was meant for the people who criticize him.

Adam Lambert recently talked about whom he meant to flip off during his November 22 performance at American Music Awards. "Literally, as I did it, I went, 'Oh God, what am I doing?' " he told MTV. "I was out of body. You know, the finger was to the people that have been criticizing me."

"The finger was to the people who doubt me. The finger was to the people that were about to censor me. The finger was not to fans or people who support me at all, by any means," Adam explained further. "The finger was to Out magazine's editor who wailed into me, people like that." In his last statement, he referred to Aaron Hicklin who accused him of downplaying his sexuality.

In addition to gesturing audience with his middle finger, Adam Lambert also kissed his male keyboardist when closing AMAs over the weekend. "He [the keyboardist] did not know! No - during rehearsal I grabbed him by the hair and kind of just looked at him," Adam said. "He's straight, but not married. He's single. I guess he didn't mind getting kissed in the name of entertainment."

During his interview with Ryan Seacrest meanwhile, Adam Lambert said he doesn't owe apology to anyone. "I'm not a babysitter, I'm a performer," he stated. "I performed, it was late-night TV, I did something that female performers have been doing for years, no different. It's just the fact that I'm me and it's a little different for people. It's really not that big of a deal."

On another interview, this time with New York's Z100 radio station, Adam raved, "I wasn't nervous. I had so much adrenaline, it did get the best of me in moments, and then in other moments, it fired me up. My favorite thing about performing is the impromptu aspect of it. If you rehearse every step and every move, it's boring. It's not raw. When you see a performer up there who just goes with it, it's more interesting."

Donny Osmond Wins 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 9

The new champion of "Dancing with the Stars" who takes over the disco ball trophy from last season's winner Shawn Johnson is Donny Osmond. The so-called "showbiz legend" surpassed judges' expectation and beat her sister Marie Osmond who finished third in the fifth season. This is also the first win for Donny's partner Kym Johnson.

Donny actually came second on Monday, November 23 performance night with a total score of 85 out of 90. Mya was the one on the lead with 87 out of 90, but Donny has proven himself that he has a throng of fans that kept voting for him and Kym during the entire season. Mya thus finished second followed by Kelly Osbourne.

Before the winner deliberation, each of the three finalists had to reprise their favorite dance of the season. Donny reprised his Argentine Tango and the judges thought that it was a 100 percent performance, totally believable and artistic.

Filler of the two-hour finale were performances by Tom DeLay who has recovered from his injury and the other fallen celebrities this season. Whitney Houston was the musical guest who sang "I Wanna Dance With Somebody".

Kat Dennings Among Cast for 'Thor'

Spilling the news is the depicter of Thor's first love Jane Foster, Natalie Portman, when expressing her excitement to work with Kat Dennings in the upcoming action fantasy movie.

Following several actors who have been previously confirmed to join "Thor", Kat Dennings also has a part in the film. The news was first spilled by the film's star Natalie Portman when she was interviewed by MTV Splash Page. "Well I'm really excited. Kat Dennings is going to be in it with me and she's a good friend and an amazing actress, so I'm looking forward to that," the depicter of Thor's first love Jane Foster said.

Dennings' inclusion in the cast ensemble for the film was later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. However, there has been no word on what character that will be played by the 23-year-old beauty as the site claimed Marvel Studio keeps a closed lid on her role.

Dennings is perhaps best known for her role as Norah Silverberg in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist", which aided her to receive nomination as Breakthrough Performance Female at 2009 MTV Movie Awards. She previously also appeared in 2006 film "Big Momma's House 2" starring Martin Lawrence. She can next be seen in superhero film "Defendor", which is slated for a 2009 release.

Prior to Kat Dennings, "Queen of the Damned" star Stuart Townsend, "King Arthur" star Ray Stevenson, and Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano have been tapped to be The Warriors Three, which is made up of Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg. Joining the trio is "The Office" actor Idris Elba, who is set to portray Heimdell, the Guardian of Asgard in the upcoming adventure film.

Adapted from Marvel comics, "Thor" is an epic adventure that spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. The story centers on Chris Hemsworth's Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, who is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans after his reckless actions reignite an ancient war. He later learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth. Paramount Pictures eyes a May 20, 2011 release date for the film.
