The distraction that was the supposed scandal involving So You Think You Can Dance judge Nigel Lythgoe and his hateful and spectacularly ludicrous comments to same-sex contestants Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel made on the show and on Twitter has ended, Lythgoe offering an apology to GLAAD – who threatened a boycott – and to those who follow Nigel on Twitter.
Lythgoe, who insisted he was only expressing an opinion when he told the two that they would “alienate a lot of our audience.” Later, he tweeted that “the same-sex ballroom guys did remind me of Blades of Glory. However, I’m not a fan of Brokeback ballroom.” Is there a truth to Lythgoe’s inclination, that the audience for So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, and their ilk would be alienated by gay contestants?

Colin Farell is reportedly to be the best man at his brother Eamon’s wedding this summer to Eamon’s longtime partner Steven Mannion.
