By REESE AMOROSI

Previously on Dance Moms, the team dealt with the fallout from the fight between Abby Lee Miller and Kelly Hyland. Abby announced that Kelly had been arrested and that her daughters Paige and Brooke were no longer with the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC), and she welcomed Kira Girard and her daughter Kalani Hilliker to the team. This week on Dance Moms season 4, episode 9 titled "Nothing's Fair in Abbyville," Abby promises a starring role to a dance-off winner, but goes back on her word when Kendall Vertes wins; Abby calls Christi Lukasiak "Satan"; the moms have lunch with Kelly.

Boy George

By A.D. AMOROSI

When Boy George releases This is What I Do in North America this March, it will be his first pop album in 18 years. This new solo record features a soulful sound closer to how we first came to know and love Boy George back in 1982 (Culture Club’s Kissing to Be Clever and hits such as “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”), rather than the house music he’s been spinning in recent years. Fans can hear Boy George's new material live when his 2014 tour stops in Philadelphia on April 18 at the Theater of the Living Arts (aka TLA).

Dance Moms season 4, episode 8 titled "Wingman Down" shows the members of the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) dealing with the aftermath of the physical fight between studio owner Abby Lee Miller and mom Kelly Hyland. The show begins with Abby revealing that Brooke and Paige Hyland are no longer part of the ALDC, and ends with Abby announcing that Kelly has been arrested. Christi Lukasiak (Chloe's mom), who is Kelly's best friend on the show, thinks that Melissa Ziegler-Gisoni (Maddie and Mackenzie's mom) is at fault for what happened, so she isolates herself from the team.

Dance Moms season 4, episode 7 titled "Big Trouble in the Big Apple" shows the widely reported physical altercation between mom Kelly Hyland and studio owner Abby Lee Miller. What led to the fight? In addition to the usual, ongoing antagonism between them, Abby brings a new dancer into the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) and uses her as a weapon against Kelly's daughters. The new girl is none other than Kalani Hilliker, Abby's favorite contestant from season 2 of  Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition (AUDC); I predicted she'd be invited to join Dance Moms and the ALDC back on September 24, 3013.

You can’t keep Larry Kane down for long. No sooner than it was announced that the veteran anchorman (famous for gigs at WPVI-TV, WCAU-TV and KYW-TV in Philadelphia) was released from his Comcast Network program, Larry Kane: Voice of Reason, the newsman has a list of projects he’s working on, including a documentary dedicated to his most notable side project: his time as the sole journalist to follow The Beatles during their first tour of America in 1964.

By A.D. AMOROSI

Art Garfunkel isn’t just half of one of pop’s most successful duos, Simon and Garfunkel, he's a singer with the voice of an angel, a heavenly sound that inhabits the soul of a lyric like few others. After putting his singing career on hold in 2012 due to an undisclosed vocal issue, Garfunkel is now fully recovered and on tour in the United States. On Friday, March 7, and Saturday, March 8, he'll bring An Intimate Evening with Art Garfunkel to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

By GLAMOROSI

Previously on Dance Moms, studio owner Abby Lee Miller held another round of open call auditions for the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC). This week on Dance Moms season 4, episode 6 titled "Clash of the Chloes," Abby invites one of the girls who tried out, Chloe Nguyen, for a trial run with the team. Because Abby has announced she wants to replace one or more ALDC members, and because the team already has a dancer with the same first name – the fabulous Chloe Lukasiak – Abby calls them "old Chloe" and "new Chloe." This, of course, creates tension and mama drama.
