I actually find it kind of boring after a while, which is probably why I got so annoyed at his Swan Lake! <br><br>Thanks for the info, Laurel. I'd heard of this but I thought it was just one complainant, not several! Now, I just saw on Huffington Post that there are four women total -- three from previous years, whose cases the DAs had decided to drop. Now that this fourth woman's story is the same, they're re-opening those earlier cases. The women seem to be unrelated to each other. This is really disturbing. Of course I'm one for always affording the defendant that presumption of innocence. I guess we'll have to wait and see where the charges lead and what all the evidence is. I hope he didn't do it. <br><br>Of course commentors on Huffington Post are making all kinds of racist assumptions about Latin men, which really disturbs me. I can't even think of Alex DaSilva on SYTYCD -- I really can't picture who he was, but no one on the show ever struck me as creepy. I mean, at least from viewing it on TV. <br><br>Funny, but at first the Alex I was thinking of was the one who's sometimes on DWTS -- Edyta's husband and the one who won the first season with Kelly Monaco! I was so upset. Very glad it's not him! I agree, JT — his ballets often do have that same theme.

Maybe that's why his ballets all have that same theme. He had quite the string of leading ladies at his beck and call.
