Fox will be throwing a coming-home party for last year’s American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. Fox has stayed away from the fracas regarding Lambert’s controversial performance during the American Music Awards.

Adam Lambert is confirmed to make a live appearance on the result show of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance finale on December 16th. He will perform his single Whataya Want From Me which is taken from his debut album For Your Entertainment.

It will mark the controversial performer’s first appearance on the network since he was announced as the No. 2 finalist in last season’s American Idol last May. The dance contest is produced jointly by 19 Entertainment, which also produces American Idol, and Dick Clark Productions, which, along with ABC, yanked Lambert from an appearance on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve show scheduled to air on December 31st.

ABC received around 1,500 complaints about Lambert’s “sexually-charged performance” at this year’s American Music Awards. During the performance millions of viewers saw Lambert “simulate oral sex with a back-up dancer, plant a passionate kiss on the mouth of a male keyboard player and gesture to the audience with his middle finger during the closing act of the live music awards show.”
Adam will not be the only American Idol alum who rocks the reality dancing show. This week, Idol winner Kris Allen is also set to perform on the live results show, performing Live Like We’re Dying on December 9th.

Before singing on SYTYCD, Adam Lambert has to visit ABC’s The View first. Instead of having a live stage act like he did at the 2009 American Music Awards which cost him Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearances, he is scheduled to tape his performance and interview with the hosts. The episode will be aired this coming Thursday, December 10th.

Two days after appearing on The View, he will take the stage of the Atlantic Bank Center in Miami, FL. for a hosting gig with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester.

Dancing With the Stars professional Kym Johnson will be heading to Broadway to make her debut with the high-octane ballroom dance show, Burn the Floor, at the Longacre Theatre.

Johnson was the professional dancer who partnered with Dancing With the Stars winner Donny Osmond.

Announced by producer Harley Medcalf earlier this week, the 33-year-old Australian beauty will partner with fellow Dancing With the Stars cast-mate Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy. Maks opened Burn the Floor on Broadway in August.

Both Johnson and Chmerkovskiy will be on Broadway through January 10th. Johnson also participated in the original Burn the Floor workshop in London in 1998 and toured around the world with the production.

Other TV dance personalities will also join the tour. Mary Murphy, a judge on Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance, along with two other Dancing With the Stars dancer, Alec Mazo and Edyta Sliwinska, will join Burn the Floor.

“As a little girl growing up in Australia, my dream was to perform on Broadway,” said Johnson. “As an original cast member of Burn the Floor [in Australia], I’m so excited to make my Broadway debut by returning to the show and dancing with my friend Maks.”

Chmerkovskiy added in a statement: “Being on Broadway with Burn the Floor this summer was a highlight of my dance career, and it means a lot to me to be invited back for a longer run. It will be great to be able to share this experience with Kym.”

“From Harlem’s hot nights at The Savoy, where dances such as the Lindy, Foxtrot and Charleston were born, to the Latin Quarter where the Cha-Cha , Rumba and Salsa steamed up the stage, Burn the Floor takes audiences on a journey through the passionate drama of dance,” according to press notes. “The elegance of the Viennese Waltz, the exuberance of Jive, the intensity of the Paso Doble — audiences will experience them all, as well as the Tango, Samba, Mambo, Quickstep, and Swing. It’s Ballroom dance with a sexy 21st century edge.”

Burn the Floor will end its run on February 14th. Following its February closure, Burn the Floor will open in Melbourne, Australia the following week. Cities and dates for the U.S. tour will be announced shortly.

For fans of Fox’s hit reality show So You Think You Can Dance?, yesterday marked a day filled with sadness and a bucket-load of questions revolving acclaimed choreographer Mia Michaels, who has exited the program for unknown reasons.

On Mia Michaels’ mostly dormant Twitter account, the Emmy-award winning contemporary dance choreographer announced that SYTYCD has brought her five glorious years on the show. Followers of Michaels exploded with questions. Is the popular dance master leaving the show?

From her official Twitter feed:

I AM OFFICIALLY AN ADORING FAN OF SYTYCD….THANK U FOR 5 WONDERFUL YRS

TO CREATE MOMENTS AND MOVEMENT FOR THE WORLD TO SHARE WITH ME WAS A GIFT…..

THANKS SYTYCD AND LOOK FORWARD TO WHATS AHEAD FOR ME…LOOKOUT WORLD!!!!!

Michaels went to post on her Facebook page and provided a few more details:

“It’s been an amazing five years on ‘SYTYCD.’ I thank them for all the great memories and movement I have been able to create for the world. Today was my official resignation of the U.S. show and look forward to what’s ahead for me.”

The Florida-born choreographer worked on Cirque du Soleil’s 2005 Delirium tour and was Emmy-nominated for her work on Celine Dion’s Las Vegas show. Michaels won an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography for Calling You, a routine from season 2 of SYTYCD and was nominated for her routine, Mercy, at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. During her career, Michaels has worked with Madonna, Ricky Martin, Prince, Anna Vissi, and Gloria Estefan.

This isn’t the first exit from a popular member of a high-viewed Fox reality show. During the summer American Idol judge Paula Abdul left TV’s No.1 show when it was clear her contract was not going to be renewed at the rate of other fellow judges. Abdul also used her Twitter account to broadcast the news, beating the media to the punch and taking her decision to fans directly. Mia Michaels appears to be have been inspired by this approach and has taken the same approach though her departure leaves more questions than answers. Why has she left the program which has brought millions of new fans to the art form and a lot of attention to her beautiful routines?
