Why We Loved It So Much: It’s encouraging to see our Joey Potter (aka Katie Holmes) do something a touch more professionally productive than hanging out with Suri at the Grove. If we remember Go and Wonder Boys correctly, Holmes has a lot of talent; she just hasn’t done a single thing (worth recapping) that’s required her to use it for years — unless you count the extended Stepford Wife performance that is her spooky, spooky life.
And Now, Not So Much: So You Think You Can Dance? Really? Jeez, it ain’t even Dancing With the Stars. All SYTYCD is known for is Mary Murphy and her one-way ticket to Crazytown. Holmes’ hubbie Tom Cruise rode that train into the sunset several years ago … so maybe the whole thing makes sense.
The dish on the performance, according to Us Weekly, is that Holmes’ performance is a tribute to Judy Garland in which she “dons an all-black ensemble similar to Garland’s: black velvet fedora, patent leather heels, nylon stockings, body-hugging skirt and micro-mini skirt.” The article also says that Holmes “twirls her hair and seductively shakes her hips.”
What? Hair-twirling? Seductive hip-shaking? Our high school prom was more lascivious. We’ll watch the performance (airdate TBD) out of curiosity, but we’re pretty sure it’s going to confirm what we’ve long suspected: Katie Holmes is Dunzo.
