Katie Holmes meets up with So You Think You Can Dance judge and producer Nigel Lythgoe at a Los Angeles dance studio over the weekend.

The 29-year-old triple threat is in serious talks to give a special performance on FOX’s reality competition series, So You Think You Can Dance!

“She’s met with Nigel Lythgoe and everyone hopes she appears on this season or next season of the show,” a show insider tells Life & Style.

How exciting!!! Remember when Katie danced for Eli Stone?

So You Think You Can Dance airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on FOX.

Nigel Lythgoe took to his Twitter page to defend controversial comments he made on Thursday night’s premiere of So You Think You Can Dance.

The 59-year-old judge criticized male partners Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel, saying, “I think you will probably alienate a lot of our audience. I mean, we’ve always had the guys dance together on the show, but they’ve never really done it in each other’s arms before. Do you know what? I’d like to see you both dancing with a girl.”

After the show, Nigel blogged, “The same-sex ballroom guys did remind me of Blades of Glory. However, I’m not a fan of Brokeback ballroom… I am very sad the word ‘homophobe’ is being used. That is someone who hates homosexuals. I dislike effeminate dancing! Wake up and listen!”
