If Katie Holmes can perform on So You Think You Can Dance, then hubby Tom Cruise can certainly be a judge, right?

So says SYTYCD judge Mary Murphy.

"He goes way back to Risky Business doing his thing," says Murphy, referring to Cruise's iconic gyrating underwear dancing. "He was on the hot-tamale train back then!"

She added with a laugh, "That hot tamale can come by anytime."

Also on Murphy's wish list? Justin Timberlake and another certain hottie...

"Justin's a good dancer, a great singer and I think he would be a great judge on the show," Murphy said when I caught up with her at the Rock a Little, Feed a Lot benefit concert for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank and Feeding America. "If they go a little bit younger, I think Zac Efron would be amazing, too!"

"I think kids would like to see somebody really young in that position," she said, adding one restriction. "I don't mean my spot. I mean the next spot for a guest judge maybe needs to be a little younger."

As for Paula Abdul, Murphy is hoping SYTYCD producers can land the unpredictable, anything-can-happen former American Idol judge for their first live show of the new season.

"And if she choreographed on the show, I think it'd be great," Murphy said. "It'd be a perfect mix. How funny would that be if you had Paula Abdul, Adam Shankman, Nigel and me? What a wild and crazy night that would be. I'm not sure America's ready for that just yet."

Unlike Tom Cruise in Risky Business, a young lady forgot to wear underwear during her audition for So You Think You Can Dance.
