Nigel Lythgoe To Katie Holmes Haters: “You Make Me Sick”

Nigel Lythgoe doesn’t care much for the people slamming Katie Holmes’ performance on last night’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’

The judge was perfectly content with Mrs. Tom Cruise’s dancing shoes, and he spoke out about it on Twitter. “I’m trying to figure out why Katie is being judged as a dancer. When a star throws out the opening pitch no-one says ‘ooh crap pitcher!”

He adds, “Why hate on Katie? She’s had no dance training and did this for publicity for the charity. Everyone lip synchs when they’re dancing. MJ too“

“I’m going to ban all the Katie haters,” he said. “You make me sick. Your attitude stops ’stars’ doing charity work. Understand why she did it CHILDREN.’”

Holmes taped a performance of the Judy Garland number ‘Get Happy’ to benefit the Dizzy Feet foundation on last night’s show. Unfortunately, critics panned her for not dancing enough.
