  • ALLISON HOLKER: Lindsay Lohan hosts SNL for the fourth time.

  • Q'Viva The Chosen is an international success.

  • And Kathryn McCormick steps up for an exclusive interview.

  • This is Just Dance for March 8, 2012.

  • Hey guys, I'm Allison Holker.

  • And I'm so excited to be back to bring you the news of

  • what's going in the dance world.

  • Lindsay Lohan returned to Saturday Night Live for her

  • fourth stint as host.

  • The monologue was a bit of a homecoming and had cameos from

  • Jimmy Fallon and John Hamm.

  • One sketch poked fun at Lindsay Lohan's legal trouble,

  • and put her in a 1960s gang of delinquent girls.

  • The girl gang's biggest crime was dancing in the street.

  • And it didn't end too well for Fred Armisen.

  • On the plus side, Fred, girl, you look great in a dress.

  • Jennifer Hudson's new video for

  • "Think Like A Man" dropped.

  • And it features Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, and some smooth

  • choreography.

  • Plus they threw in Kevin Hart because why not?

  • Fatima Robinson did the choreography.

  • And I love when I see women dance like women, even if they

  • think like a man.

  • Now let's check in with David for his thoughts on the video.

  • DAVID: I watched Jennifer Hudson's new video "Think Like

  • A Man." Whew, let me tell you, she had all kinds of manly

  • thoughts running through my mind.

  • In the video she plays Kevin Hart's boss.

  • Let me tell you something, if Jennifer Hudson was my boss I

  • would never be late for work.

  • Not only does she have this big, beautiful voice, but

  • she's wearing all these sexy outfits, showing off those big

  • old beautiful eyes she has.

  • And on top of it, in the video she sings with Ne-Yo.

  • And they really sound good together.

  • Rick Ross even makes an appearance in the video.

  • And Jennifer Hudson, she sings so good she makes everybody

  • around her sound good.

  • Like Rick Ross was rapping.

  • I'm watching the video like, wow, Rick Ross

  • really sounds good.

  • I didn't even know he could sing.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: Just Dance got the exclusive official

  • announcement of Step Up 4 a few weeks back, but we still

  • have to wait until July 27 for the movie's release.

  • Lucky for you guys, I got an interview with Kathryn

  • McCormick, the star of Step Up 4.

  • KATHRYN MCCORMICK: There's all different

  • types of dance in it.

  • It brings different styles, like pieces of contemporary,

  • duet, or jazz dancing, or salsa dancing, and all

  • different styles of hip-hop.

  • And they've never had that in a Step Up.

  • So I think it's going to be really interesting to see and

  • to watch how they all combine.

  • And I think it's going to be really, really exciting, and

  • new for the Step Up franchise.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: No, I think that's really exciting to see

  • all the different styles.

  • And it was Jamal Sims that was over all the

  • choreography, correct?

  • KATHRYN MCCORMICK: Yes.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: And I think there was also Travis Wall

  • doing choreography, Chris Scott, Chuck Maldonado.

  • KATHRYN MCCORMICK: So Step Up 4 is coming to

  • theaters on July 27.

  • So check it out.

  • I haven't seen it yet, so I'm super excited about it.

  • But check it out.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: Q'Viva the Chosen had its FOX premiere

  • this last weekend.

  • And it was full of Latin talent.

  • J.Lo, Mark Anthony, and Jamie King have their hands full

  • choosing their chosen.

  • In the first episode, J.Lo and Mark Anthony decide to divide

  • and conquer.

  • And Mark Anthony ends up inviting some beautiful Puerto

  • Rican twins to Vegas for the competition.

  • If you missed the premiere, you're probably the only one,

  • because 30 million people tuned in to see it.

  • It looks like people all around the globe are saying,

  • Viva Q'Viva.

  • Big Time Rush's new Nickelodeon movie will

  • premiere this Saturday March 10.

  • It's called Big Time Movie, which makes perfect sense.

  • In it, the guys go from being stars to spies.

  • They didn't reveal too much, but Carlos Pena did say there

  • will be a princess in the movie.

  • Sounds like we'll have to tune in to see what happens with

  • the princess.

  • What do Beyonce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Reese

  • Witherspoon, and Andy Samberg have in common?

  • Well, they're all rumored to be attached to a project

  • called One Hit Wonders.

  • The musical comedy will tell the story of two singers who

  • had a few big hits back in the '90s, but

  • then faded into obscurity.

  • Now those fallen stars are trying to

  • have their big comeback.

  • Glee co-creator, Ryan Murphy, is supposed to direct the

  • project, but Sony has been cagey

  • about confirming anything.

  • I really hope that these rumors end up being true,

  • because the project sounds amazing.

  • Last week, So You Think You Can Dance held their auditions

  • for season nine here in Los Angeles.

  • Just Dance was there to cover the auditions, and we saw some

  • amazing dancers there.

  • CAT DEELEY: We're in our last city.

  • We're here at the Orpheum Theater in

  • downtown Los Angeles.

  • JEFF THACKER: And we've been to Atlanta, Dallas, Salt Lake

  • City, and New York.

  • I always say that every year I'm not quite sure whether

  • we're going to dry up, or the well's going to dry up, but we

  • are not surprised in the talent that come through.

  • NINJA: I'm Ninja.

  • I'm from Los Angeles, California.

  • SAMANTHA: I'm Samantha Linares.

  • I am 18 years old, and I am from Laverne, California.

  • DASMIAN: My name is Dasmian.

  • Everybody calls me Das.

  • I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas.

  • NIGEL LYTHGOE: This isn't like the whole world

  • thinks it can sing.

  • You don't all think you can dance, so you come along to an

  • audition like this you've got to be able to dance.

  • CAT DEELEY: Don't forget to tune in to So You Think You

  • Can Dance season nine.

  • We're bringing it.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: The Dance Moms drama continues.

  • And, as always, you count on our friend Todrick Hall to let

  • you know just what you missed.

  • Check out his recap right here.

  • Mark Ballas, one of the resident pros on Dancing With

  • The Stars showed off just how much of a pro he is with a

  • recent video that went viral.

  • While rehearsing a Pepsi commercial, he put a can of

  • soda on his head.

  • Not too hard, right?

  • Well, when he put that can on his head, he did a full

  • routine complete with pirouettes, and

  • the can didn't move.

  • MARK BALLAS: And that's how you do that.

  • ALLISON HOLKER: Ballas has some serious balance.

  • The claws came out on this week's episode of Smash.

  • And we learned the competition between Ivy and

  • Karen is far from over.

  • This week's episode showed us that there's often more drama

  • off the stage than on it.

  • Click here to see Luan spill the tea on this week's Smash.

  • I had so much fun here today.

  • Make sure to Like and Favorite the video, subscribe to

  • DanceOn, and tune in next Thursday.

  • I have a very special guest shopping by.
