Katie Holmes recently announced that on July 23, she will make a special appearance on So You Think You Can Dance’s 100th episode to help raise awareness for the Dizzy Feet Foundation. 

The new organization was established by Holmes, Nigel Lythgoe, Carrie Ann Inaba and director/choreographer Adam Shankman and aims to support, improve and increase access to dance education.

About starting the charity, Holmes said: 

“I like to sing and dance, so this has been really fun. I think it’s important to let kids experience music and dancing and singing and the arts and also sports. This is the next generation, and I think it’s important to give them every opportunity to grow and discover what it is that they like.”

Will Mary put Katie on the Hot Tamale Train? Tune in to So You Think You Can Dance on July 23rd to find out.

PETA has just launched a new ad featuring Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba in which she tells people: “Don’t Miss a Step—Spay or Neuter Today!” Of course also featured is Inaba’s rescued and responsibility neutered cat, Shadow. In fact, Carrie has THREE cats who’ve all been rescued from shelters!

Many stars choose to set a positive example by rescuing their animals. The Office’s Jenna Fischer (who I have a crazy mad crush on) even hosted the Fur Ball to help raise money for Kitten Rescue.

The sad truth is that 3 to 4 million companion animals are killed in shelters every year while breeders continue to make a profit by increasing the pet population. As a child my family bought our dog from a breeder, and while I loved my Max, as an adult I’ve made the choice to only adopt my pets from shelters.
