Happy National Dance Day! – Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and many SYTYCD choreographers and alums will be celebrating at events around the country.
Taylor Hicks looks back to ‘American Idol’ days, forward to new album as he readies for Schaeffer CityFest – Hicks has been spending time with family and friends, playing a little golf, eating barbecue at Saw’s Juke Joint (he’s a partner in the restaurant) and … oh, yes, filming a pilot for a TV show.
“I’m really excited about shooting in town, and I was really hungry doing it,” Hicks says. “That’s all I can say about that.” The singer’s also been on the road to Nashville, where he’s been developing an album with producer Mickey Jack Cones.
