Lady Gaga to guest judge on ‘SYTYCD’!

“So You Think You Can Dance” is bringing in some serious guest judges this season! While just announcing that Megan Mullally will guest judge, it has just been revealed that Lady Gaga and Kristen Chenoweth will also guest judge sometime this season.

“I asked her when she performed on the ‘American Idol’ finale if she would come on and she said yes,” executive producer and head judge Nigel Lythgoe tells Xfinity TV News. He adds that the “Poker Face” hitmaker’s date has not been set yet, because “she is on tour so they said it would probably be later in the season. She is an amazing dancer and performer.”

Kristin Chenoweth, who is known for her Broadway works and guest-starring role on “Glee”, will additionally appear on the judge panel. Teasing further, Lythgoe says Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris are other potential judges as they are currently talking to producers about coming to the show.

Aside from the guest judges, “SYTYCD” may bring back popular dancer Alex Wong, who left the competition last season due to an injury, for all-star version. “Alex Wong is not fit enough to be a competitive dancer. Hopefully he is going to be fit enough, and hopefully he will be complementary to whoever is at the show at that point when it comes time to picking the all-stars,” Lythgoe explains.

I think it’s a great idea!

Men caught trying to get to Joss Stone with swords, rope, and a body bag in their car!!

This is so scary! It’s like something out of a movie! (Probably will be a movie now that I think about it.) Thankfully the police were able to intervene before anything awful happened!

Two men in their early 30s have been arrested near British singer Joss Stone’s isolated U.K. farmhouse, allegedly with swords, rope, and a body bag in their car. Police believe the two were plotting to rob the 24-year-old star, or at minimum “cause her some really serious harm,” the Telegraph reports.

Police began investigating the pair’s red Fiat Punto after neighbors reported seeing a suspicious car on their quiet country roads. Cops first arrested the duo for weapons possession Monday morning; the charges were later escalated to conspiracy to rob and murder.

Investigators have not identified the two men who drove 250 miles to rural Devon from Manchester, and refuse to confirm what exactly was found in their car, but U.K. papers are reporting the pair also were in possession of floor plans and aerial photos of Stone’s property. Police are still trying to determine their motive — whether they resented her success or simply targeted her for her money, or had some other grudge against the star. According to the Telegraph, Stone is worth more than £9 million, and is one of the Top Five highest-earning female singers in the U.K.

“Joss is aware of the arrests and is being kept informed by the police,” one of the singer’s reps tells the Guardian. A neighbor told the paper the singer “was quite laid back and not in a major panic” the day after the arrests.

4th of July Party Ideas With Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri’s!

4th of July is right around the corner! Can you believe it? Where has the year gone!

I loooooooooooooove 4th of July, always have. Could be because my dad always bought fireworks that are illegal in our state – so watching them was laced with a bit of fear.  My kids love the 4th. The family all gets together, and we usually have a BBQ, home made ice cream and fresh fruit! We usually top everything off with one of those margarita buckets (you know the ones). Add tequila and freeze! Well from here on out, instead I’m going to be serving these Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri! They are so incredibly easy! They’re ready to pour over ice, and will be so much more delicious than my stinkin margarita buckets!

The Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is a delicious, convenient, ready-to-serve cocktail that’s perfect for entertaining. It’s a quick and easy solution for entertaining guests at home or hosting sophisticated summer parties. You can serve the Bacardi Daiquiri over ice or garnish with a lime wedge, or just chill, pour, and enjoy! This product is unlike any other Bacardi product – it’s new – and looks totally delicious!

This summer, rediscover the daiquiri. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is the perfect addition to any summer get-together — fun, delicious, and ready to pour. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is made with Bacardi Superior Rum, tangy lime and sugar. It is a perfectly balanced cocktail that is not too sour and not too sweet. http://bacardidaiquiri.glam.com

Here is all you need to do for that perfect Bacardi Hand-Shaken Daiquiri.

  • Step 1: Moisten the rim of a tall glass then dip in sugar to rim the edges
  • Step 2: Pour over ice
  • Step 3: Garnish with a lime wedge
  • Step 4: Enjoy!

And of course, please remember to drink responsibly! Respect alcohol, respect yourself. For most adults, it’s fine to enjoy a drink. At the same time, we all need to look after our health and well-being. Be responsible!

4th of July Perfect Menu ideas to go with your Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri!

Ribs!

Who doesn’t love ribs (besides vegetarians)? Here’s what I think is the perfect rub for your ribs! This rub is your “best odds” to smoking great set of ribs. This savory rub will add a lot of flavor without detracting from the natural flavor of the meat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutesYield: Makes about 1 1/4 cup

Ingredients:
•1/3 cup paprika
•3 tablespoons dry mustard
•3 tablespoons onion powder
•3 tablespoons garlic powder
•2 tablespoons ground basil
•1 tablespoon black pepper
•1 tablespoon salt
•2 teaspoons red pepper (1 tablespoon if you want it hot)

Preparation:
Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. When applying to ribs, coat heavily and massage into the meat. If you want to make a sweet rub add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Fruit Salad!

My sister-in-law introduced me to this fruit salad, and it’s is hands down my favorite. It’s so easy – yet so delicious! All you do is take all the different kinds of fruit you like (and are in season). Cut them into bite sized pieces and put them in a large bowl! Take one small container of good-quality vanilla yogurt, and add the yogurt at the end. Mix, and let sit for at least 30 minutes.  What the fruit and the yogurt does together is amazing AND delicious!

GRILLED Corn on the Cob!

Ingredients
8 ears corn
Garlic butter, recipe follows
1/2 cup grated cotija cheese
4 fresh limes, quartered
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Directions
Preheat grill to medium. Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them. Remove the silks and recover the corn with the husk. Soak in large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes.

Unwrap corn and brush with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with the cotija cheese and squeeze with lime. Sprinkle with chopped chives, to garnish

Garlic Butter:
2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
8 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 habanero pepper, seeded
1/4 bunch fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Combine butter, garlic, habanero, and chives in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.

PICS: Kim Kardashian cuts her hair!

No, not much – but she promises she’s going even shorter next week!

Earlier today Kim tweeted, “I cut my hair today! Kinda short, like to my shoulders, I’m loving the change!”

She later said she’d be going even shorter next week….which if it really is short, I’ll be happy to see it! I’ve never seen her with anything other than the long, black hair. A change might be nice!
