Home : American Idol, Denied! : So You Think You Can Get In

So You Think You Can Get In

Posted Jul 10th 2008 1:35PM by TMZ Staff

Someone at Crown Bar is gonna get fired -- because last night they dissed one of the most powerful men in H-Wood.

Nigel Lythgoe, the guy who produces "American Idol" and judges on "So You Think You Can Dance," was out enjoying his birthday, planning on a festive night at Crown. His boy Ryan Seacrest even arranged a table for him. Unfortunately the Josh-Hartnett-look-alike doorman apparently didn't get the memo, and Nigel was denied. The nerve!

And in the insult-to-injury department, Alli Sims made it through.

16. you can tell alot about a person and how they handle a bad situation. He is probably one of the few sinking rich producers that I actually repsect. Now I don't really watch his shows but he's a class act all the way. He laughed a bit, smiled to the photogs, didn't really seem pissed or yell although I would be especially mad on my freaking b-day. Well, that place looks just gross. I mean who was this doorman anyways? he looked like some blink 182 reject. Or maybe ryan seacreat's replacement?

18. Nigel was so funny, and so great in corkscrewed, it was a reality TV show where he bought a winery in Paso Robles and tried to live in the country. He drove a bentley around this little cow town, it was hysterical.
He's SO rich, he could buy the darned club with cash if he wanted to get in that badly.
