Jodie Prenger and Lee Nelson have made it to the final of Let's Dance for Comic Relief.
Prenger was the first to make it through, having topped the public vote with a routine to the 1986 Cameo hit 'Word Up', in which the actress dressed as the funk group's frontman Larry Blackmon.
Judges Arlene Phillips, Greg James and Lee Mack then had to choose between Vanessa Feltz, who danced to Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time' in leotard and fishnet tights, and Nelson, who was joined by Britain's Got Talent stars Twist & Pulse for a hip-hop spin on Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'. The trio eventually decided to save Nelson.
Newsreaders Ore Oduba and Sonali Shah and ventriloquist Nina Conti received the fewest public votes and were automatically eliminated.
Oduba and Shah performed to the Outkast track 'Hey Ya', while Conti teamed up with her puppet Monk for a gorilla-themed routine...

Tonight is Eighties Night on American Idol, and Ryan Seacrest is celebrating it by acting like he has ingested a mountain of cocaine. Jumping, flitting, flirting, mugging. Ryan is straight impish tonight, and if he’s half this frolicsome during the Olympics, I look forward to watching Bob Costas slap him.We begin by showing a mid-eighties Journey photograph of Randy Jackson: big shoulder pads, boxy Larry Blackmon haircut. Much is made of the fashion faux pas. Ryan asks: "So you looked this way and thought: yeah, I’ll go out like this?" — but will you look at Randy Jackson now, in his glitter-piped jacket and polka-dot blouse? Why are we pretending that now is any better? You know how there are people who secretly deal drugs out of ice-cream trucks? Randy Jackson is dressed like a drug dealer who secretly sells ice cream. Anyway, our mentors are Gwen Stefani...

This review was written for the theatrical release of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters."First Look Pictures
Having already created a sensation with a guerrilla marketing campaign that was mistaken for a terrorist bomb plot by Boston authorities, Cartoon Network Adult Swim fixture "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" takes the plunge into the big pool with the feature-length "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters." (Take that, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"!)
No doubt about it, the show's certifiably bizarro, stream-of-consciousness sensibility has made the transition notably intact, which should please its young male fan base.
But though it has its undeniable laugh-out-loud moments, the brainchild of Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis isn't immune to the problem often faced by supersize cartoons -- namely, what might be effectively clever when doled out in episodic portions tends to get diluted over the course of an expanded format.
For those not in the know, "Aqua Teen" has nothing really to do with swimming or adolescents but rather three giant fast food staples.
That would be Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder), the leader of the trio, Frylock (Carey Means), a brilliant, airborne serving of French fries, and the dim but lovable Meatwad (Willis), a meatball that has long outlived its "best before" date.
The plot, such as it is, involves the quest for a circuit board belonging to a piece of exercise equipment owned by the Force's slobby next-door neighbor Carl (Willis again) that turns out to be part of an evil scheme perpetrated by Dr. Weird (C. Martin Croker).
There's more than a hint of "South Park"-esque larceny to "ATHF" ("CMFFT"), laced with what would seem to be some powerful recreational herbs, but after the first half-hour or so, the movie does begin to lose some of its loopy potency.
Still, the extended version does allow for an inspired lineup of voice cameos, including Larry Blackmon and T-Man of the 1980s funk band Cameo, plus Rush drummer Neil Peart and "Evil Dead" legend Bruce Campbell, as well as a deviously funny parody of those vintage movie theater ads featuring singing-and-dancing snack foods.
