Reality television is everyone's guilty pleasure ... even for the reality stars themselves! toofab's Candice Brock caught up with some familiar faces of the small screen at the 3rd Annual Reality TV Awards -- and quizzed the stars on their favorite reality TV villain and which show they'd love to be a part of themselves. When it came to who these guys just love to hate, we heard every name from "Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Nene Leakes to the original villain Omarosa Manigault from "The Apprentice." Another popular favorite: Abby Lee Miller from "Dance Moms." Both Nick Lazzarini from "So You Think You Can Dance" and "The Amazing Race" alum Aly Dudek revealed that the tough as nails coach really scares them. As for the show the star's would most love to join, "Bad Girls Club" got the most mentions. "Probably 'Bad Girls Club' for sure,"Total Diva's" Alicia Fox confessed.

Nick Lazzarini can’t twerk, Tabatha Coffey came out twice, and Fox News shortchanges marriage equality victories
Kids In the Hall’s Scott Thompson was gay on TV before being gay on TV was cool. And he misses the counterculture nature of being gay back then. “This whole marriage thing, I mean I understand it and I’m for it, but my heart isn’t in it. For my generation, it was just staying alive. Gay marriage never crossed my mind! Lesbians hoisted it upon us. I don’t know how a young gay guy can rebel any longer. When I was young, homosexuals were interesting and flawed. They were artists and hung out in cafés and were like Jean Genet, Gore Vidal, and James Baldwin. They were underground and shaping culture. The ones you heard about were the very gifted. The ones who were regular folks were married and...

You can’t keep a good man down or, in the case of Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson, a good group of men. Their dance company, Shaping Sound, who we fell in love with last year on their reality series, All The Right Moves, kicks off a new national tour starting this weekend in Los Angeles.
While we could’ve done the usual interview with the guys to learn more, we thought it would be fun to stop by during a rehearsal break and have them interview each other.
First, longtime BFFs Travis and Nick ask questions about what people might be surprised to know about them and Nick’s love of eating.
Next, Teddy and Kyle join the mix and we find out if they’re often mistaken for gay as well as how this tour is different from what you may have seen from...

We learned recently from Travis Wall that they’re looking at other networks to bring us a second season of the reality show All The Right Moves but, thankfully, Wall and his fellow dancers Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson have been keeping very busy with their dance company Shaping Sound as well as a plethora of individual projects.
Robinson, for one, is focusing on his dancing. But he is also pursuing acting, which we can witness on tonight’s episode of NBC’s Parks and Recreation where he plays a Lincoln impersonator slash stripper who entertains at the bachelorette party for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler).
We talked to Robinson earlier this week to talk about his Parks and Rec gig and how his work in dance and acting are complimenting each other.
AfterElton: Tell me what you’re doing on Parks and Recreation this week.

2012 was a very good year for Travis Wall. His career kept him busy with not only his own dance company, Shaping Sound (which was documented in the Oxygen reality series All The Right Moves), but he also was a regular fixure where we first met him - on Fox's dance competition series So You Think You Can Dance. Add to that his Emmy nomination for choreography (along with Teddy Forance and Nick Lazzarini) on Dancing With The Stars and choreographing the Off-Broadway revival of Bare.
We grabbed some time with the always-gregarious Wall to find out more about Bare, All the Right Moves, his boyfriend Dom Palange and what else is on his dance card for 2013.
AfterElton: The Bare revival, were you involved from the beginning or did they come to you as things were already rolling to choreograph? What’s the story?

ABC Family's The Fosters has cast the biological son of the lesbian couple with David Lambert, and the troubled teen they take in will be played by Maia Mitchell.
It looks like Bryan Fuller's Mockingbird Lane will not be going forward as a series. It evidently came off as too "high concept."
The reddit effort to have Taylor Swift play a concert at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf has a happy ending, with the school being disqualified, but Swift is donating $10,000 to the school, and her sponsors are chipping in another $40,000 in donations.
The Supreme Court declined to take up the National Organization for Marriage's appeal in the case of Maine's financial disclosure laws, meaning they'll have to reveal their donors per state law.

Los Angeles — Each year, the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony presents a steamy challenge for the red carpet's most fashionable, since September is typically La's hottest month.
This Sunday should be no exception. The mercury is expected to soar into the 80s midday, when nominees parade inside the Nokia Theatre. Add hundreds of spotlights and a dose of nerves, and maintaining a cool, camera-ready appearance can be a challenge. But the stars have strategies.
Emmy-winning animator Kevin Shinick, for example, has a powerful plan.
"Battery-operated tux," he said. "I have little mini fans all throughout, except on my groin. So you know, that was extra, I couldn't afford all that!"
Actress Lake Bell suggests minimizing movement.
"If you do not move that much, you will not sweat. So I am trying to exercise restraint," she said at last week's Creative Arts Emmy celebration, where temperatures topped 100 degrees. "But the dress...

Mary Murphy is blogging for EW.com this season! Catch up with her and her thoughts on the most recent episodes of So You Think You Can Dance.
The show started off with a bang with a fabulous disco from Doriana Sanchez starring Tiffany and all-star Brandon Bryant. Yes they get big points for such a difficult routine and how about that leap-split into his arms? I love that move! Tiffany was full of fire tonight. Other highlights – and there were many – were Whitney and all-star Nick Lazzarini in a Travis Wall piece that sent the thermometer off the charts,...

All-stars raised the So You Think You Can Dance finalists to a new level Wednesday, but two contestants still went home after a night of stellar performances. "The all-stars could have taken all of the thunder and stolen all the light, but that wasn't the case," judge Mary Murphy told People after the show. "We had a lot to celebrate tonight in the fact that [the contestants] held their own.” But the celebrating came to an end when host Cat Deely announced the bottom two boys and bottom two girls: Witney Carson, 18, Audrey Case, 18, George Lawrence II, 19, and Cheyon Wespi-Tschopp, 23.

The Top 10 became 8 this week on So You Think You Can Dance with the first appearance by this season's All-Stars, which included fan faves Nick Lazzarini, tWitch, Brandon Bryant, Allison Holker, Jaimie Goodwin and (finally!) Alex Wong. Along with guest judge Benjamin Millepied (French ballet dancer/choreographer and married to Natalie Portman), judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy were clearly more pleased with the dancers this week after last week's disappointing Mia Michaels' tribute episode. It also probably helped that many of the dances were choreographed by Travis Wall, Nakul Dev Mahajan, Dmitry Chaplin and Emmy nominees Stacey Tookey and Spencer Liff.
AfterElton was backstage after this week's show to get Murphy's take on the show as well as grab a few minutes with the dancers, choreographers and All-Stars.

The So You Think You Can Dance All-Stars returned to dance with the Top 10 contestants Wednesday night — and look who we have here! Season 7 standout Alex Freaking Wong, who exited early because of an Achilles tendon injury and had to sit out last summer, after being invited back as an All-Star, because he’d hurt the Other Achilles tendon. I would guess that Alex Wong’s abs positively loathe his Achilles tendons for denying them their rightful opportunity to glisten on national television whenever possible.

"So You Think You Can Dance" Season 2 runner-up Travis Wall has choreographed for the Oscars, is a two-time Emmy nominee and now he's the star of his own reality show on Oxygen, "All the Right Moves." Oh, and he's only 24.
Travis went from being a contestant to a choreographer on "Sytycd" before starting his own dance company, Shaping Sound -- which is the subject of "All the Right Moves" -- with fellow "Sytycd" alum (and Season 1 winner) Nick Lazzarini, as well as Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson. The four friends and roommates "work together, have their lives taped ... and start getting real" on the new series, which premiered on July 31.

Tammy Faye…Tori Spelling…Chaz Bono…RuPaul…The Fabulous Beekman Boys…and (soon) Latoya Jackson.
These names are not only iconic for what they’ve each brought to the world of entertainment but the one common thread between each of them is they have been brought to our attention in revealing ways in film and television by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato and their World of Wonder Productions.
The Super Producers currently are working on a multitude of projects including RuPaul’s All-Stars Drag Race on Logo, the just-announced Latoya Jackson reality show for Own, Oxygen’s All The Right Moves and this weekend’s one-hour Own special, 10 Kids, 2 Dads.
AfterElton miraculously was able to get both Bailey and Barbato on the phone earlier this week to talk about all these projects as well as their philosophy for why when it comes to reality TV, hair flipping is so much better than table flipping.

When Nick Lazzarini signed up for season 1 of So You Think You Can Dance he didn’t even known he’d have to perform ballroom. Everyone was “kind of flying by the seat of our pants” in those days, he laughs. Seven seasons later, Lazzarini’s experience seems a world away from today’s “brutal” four-person cuts and Jack-of-all-trade performers. Of course, a more streamlined system hasn’t diluted the show’s drama. Witness last night’s second four-person elimination of the season. “I’m a little shocked,” Lazzarini admits.

All The Right Moves is basically like So You Think You Can Dance: The College Years. Except, unlike the defunct Saved By The Bell spin-off, Oxygen's new reality show is really good. And for more reasons than simply seeing many of your favorite Sytycd alums (Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini, Allison Holker, Robert Roldan, Melanie Moore, Jaimie Goodwin and Channing Cooke for starters) dancing in the newly formed Shaping Sounds company.
At its core, Atrm is a story of friendship and watching those bonds strengthen through adversity. A tribulation which plays heavily into tonight's episode as the fallout from last week's Travis-gate (let's call it) is a major centerpiece. I caught up with Nick Lazzarini to talk about that bombshell, what it means for the boys moving forward and what it's been like to live his life in front of the cameras once again!

Well, it’s a fun mix of everything. Of course, each of these guys have their own unique blend of cuteness, sexiness and immense dancing prowess, but put them together and you also get an undeniable brotherly camaraderie. They work with their dance company Shaping Sound, laugh and fight together in their shared home and, yes, dance together in life and on the show. We recently grabbed them for a chat (and hot photo shoot!) to talk about their new series.

Just because Oxygen's new reality series "All the Right Moves" focuses just as much on the inter-personal drama between the co-founders of dance company Shaping Sound as it does the dancing doesn't mean you won't get to enjoy some gorgeous, choreographed routines.

All the Right Moves: Watch the Series Premiere Early Here
The summer of 2012 has seen an increased focus on dance-related television, to pretty positive results. Reality stalwart So You Think You Can Dance picked up several Emmy nominations this morning, including one for host Cat Deeley, while the likes of Bunheads and Breaking Pointe have debuted to good word-of-mouth and even better reviews from critics. As we head into the home stretch of the hottest time of the year, though, there looks to be more dance floor drama on the horizon on Oxygen's All the Right Moves.

But it won't be an easy task,...

Travis Wall may have been So You Think You Can Dance's runner-up in season two, but he's one of the biggest winners that show has ever produced!
Not only was Travis nominated for an Outstanding Choreography Emmy in 2011, but he's become one of Sytycd's most in-demand choreographers, just lent his brain to the routines in Step Up: Revolution and is starring on a new Oxygen reality series, All The Right Moves.

In the new docuseries, launching July 31, Travis is joined by Sytycd season one winner Nick Lazzarini, Dancing with the Stars choreographer Teddy Forance and Juilliard-trained Kyle Robinson in launching Shaping Sound -- a new dance company based out of Los Angeles.

Tribeca Films has announced that they have acquired the distribution rights for Chris Colfer's Struck By Lightning, and plan a late 2012 release for the film, with day-and-date for Video On Demand. That generally means that they don't plan a wide national opening but only select cities, but it does mean we can all see it.

Whether your idea of great summer TV is light drama, ridiculous reality, supernatural angst or smartass comedy there seems to be something for everyone. Here are the new shows that have our curiosity piqued and the returning shows we're excited to see back.

Oxygen is giving breathing room to obsessions, drama and competition in its upcoming season. The network has added five new series to its slate, increasing its original programming by 50 percent.
"My Shopping Addiction" will chronicle the lives of shoppers who are obsessed with the thrill of hunting down the perfect dress, piece of jewelry and more. But the intensity heightens as their addictions threaten their finances and begin to take over their lives.
"I'm Having Their Baby" follows pregnant women facing the difficult decision of whether or not to place their unborn children up for adoption. The series will see its cast through the trials and tribulations of searching for adoptive parents, making birth and transfer plans and eventually making their decision.
On a less dramatic note, "All The Right Moves" will star Emmy-nominated choreographer Travis Wall (of "So You Think You Can Dance" fame) and his lifelong friends Teddy Forance,...

Travis Wall: Yeah, that's awesome!
Ae: I suppose I should start out by thanking you for the opportunity to go on the Atlantis cruise, because it was your video with Nick Lazzarini that prompted them to call me and invite me on the cruise as well.
Tw: Oh, that's awesome. Seriously, I need a break so bad, and I'm so excited to go on it and get away for a second because I've been so overworked and so crazy.

Teddy Forance, Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini (l-r) and Kyle Robinson will show us All The Right Moves.
I’ve always loved Travis Wall whether he’s dancing or choreographing on So You Think You Can Dance. What’s this about a new reality show and when will it be on? – Christian (via email)
The series, called All The Right Moves, will follow Wall and his lifelong friends Teddy Forance (dancer/choreographer with Cirque du Soleil), dancer Nick Lazzarini (who won the first Sytycd season) and Kyle Robinson (recently featured on Dancing With The Stars). At this point, it’s in the development stage for the Oxygen network, so time will tell if it gets ordered to series. I asked Wall, via email, how different it would be for him to have cameras following him in his own home and he replied, “It will be different for me for sure, and...

"So, do you think you could interview Travis Wall?" We've been getting that request a lot around here, so thanks to everyone who pushed for it. We're happy to deliver!
Travis Wall is just 23-years-old, which is easy to forget when you consider what he's already managed to accomplish. Dancing all his life, he starred in a nationwide Dr. Pepper commercial when he was nine. He was performing on Broadway in a revival of The Music Man at 12. But perhaps his biggest break as a dancer came in 2006, when then 18-year-old Travis competed on the second season of So You Think You Can Dance.
If nothing else, you probably remember that gorgeous (and Emmy-winning) Mia Michaels routine he performed with Heidi Groskreutz called The Bench. EW.com recently ranked it as #2 on their list of the 15 greatest So You Think You Can Dance routines.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum's longtime friend Adam Shankman ("So You Think You Can Dance" judge and producer of all the 'Step Up' films) is also producing this year's Oscars with Bill Mechanic.
Industry news site Deadline Hollywood is throwing out some Oscar spoilers by reporting that there may be a larger focus on younger viewers this year in the telecast. Supposedly, the way they're going to achieve that goal is to have up and comers like Chan, Taylor Lautner, and Zac Efron participate in the show.
At this point, this is purely a Rumor, but Adam did confirm via Twitter that the show will be packed with Sytycd favorites like "Travis, Ivan, Jaimie, Kayla, Ellenore, Russell, Jakob, Kathryn, Nick Lazzarini, Legacy, Channing, Lil C, Kupono & more".

Usually, by this point in the season of "So You Think You Can Dance," there are at least two very clear favorites and then a few dark-horse dancers waiting in the wings. As far as I can remember, past winners Nick Lazzarini, Joshua Allen, Benji Schwimmer and Sabra Johnson won our hearts immediately with their surprisingly wide range of talent and adorable personalities. But when the top 10 performed this week, I was still absolutely stumped about who will win the title of "America's Favorite Dancer."
On the other hand, I can't be the only one who knew Hawaiian heartthrob Kupono Aweau and perky cutie Randi Evans were not long for this competition. Kupono's looks aside, he just doesn't match up in physical strength (witness the way he struggled through his lifts in this week's paso doble), and as Nigel Lythgoe said a few weeks ago, he...

The search for America’s favorite dancer is back! “So You Think You Can Dance” kicked off its fifth season last week, and last night, we got the chance to see the Miami and Memphis auditions, where thousands of pointy-toed contemporary dancers and bright-eyed poppers and lockers showed up for the chance to dance their way into America’s heart and to go on to a life of fame and fortune … or not.
Wait — where are all the former “Sytycd” contestants? As Kris Allen basks in the glory of his “American Idol” win, we couldn’t help but wonder what life after “Sytycd” looks like.
Since focusing on the competition’s winners would be a tad depressing (where is Sabra Johnson?), we decided to look back at what the show’s most successful, or at least most visible, graduates are doing now — and where you can find them next:
