Katie Holmes to perform on
'So You Think You Can Dance'
NEW YORK (AP) -- So Katie Holmes thinks she can dance -- and in few weeks, she'll display her moves before a discriminating audience.
Nigel Lythgoe, who is the producer of Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," confirms the 30-year-old actress will perform for the reality contest's 100th episode, airing July 23.
Holmes will pay homage to Judy Garland. In a taped number, she'll sing and dance to the Garland classic "Get Happy."
Holmes' TV cameo is meant to promote the new foundation she launched with Lythgoe and "Dancing With the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
The nonprofit, called Dizzy Feet, aims to support dance education and programs, and talented dancers who can't afford training.
Wife of actor Gary Coleman arrested in Utah
SANTAQUIN, Utah (AP) -- Police say the wife of actor Gary Coleman was booked into jail after an argument at the couple's Utah County home.
Shannon Price, 23, was arrested Wednesday and held for about two hours before posting $1,205 bail.
An arrest affidavit says police were called to the home after Price allegedly locked Coleman out during an argument and was yelling obscenities out the window, had thrown items around the home and upended furniture. There is no indication that the 41-year-old Coleman, best known for his stint on "Diff'rent Strokes," was injured.

CW's 'Gossip Girl'
recruits Hilary Duff
NEW YORK (AP) -- Hilary Duff is joining the cast of "Gossip Girl" -- but not on a regular basis.
The CW series' spokesman, Melissa Burton, says the 21-year-old singer and actress will guest-star next season as "a movie star looking for a typical college experience."
Duff's character, named Olivia Burke, enrolls at New York University and becomes roommates with "Gossip Girl" hipster Vanessa, portrayed by Jessica Szohr.
Oh, what a tangled web: Burton says Olivia will spark a romance with aspiring novelist Dan, played by Penn Badgley. As fans know, Vanessa used to have eyes for Dan -- then they dated other people.
Duff begins her "Gossip" arc on Oct. 5. Season three premieres Sept. 14.
