Did 'So You Think You Can Dance' Uncover the 'Real' Ringo Starr? (VIDEO)

In a story that just got more and more bizarre the deeper Cat Deeley and the folks behind 'So You Think You Can Dance' (Wed., 8PM ET on FOX) dug into it, a competing hopeful claimed to be the daughter of the "real" Ringo Starr.

Well, with a claim like that, we can't blame the show for sending a camera crew to her home town to meet the legend himself. Once there, we were introduced to an older gentleman with virtually no trace of a British accent who claims to be the original Ringo Starr.

He said he played on four albums and, according to his daughter, went into hiding "after John Lennon was shot three times in the back."

Their home was filled with 'Sgt. Pepper'-era memorabilia, and the man insisted he had a British birth certificate and passports. Could 'SYTYCD' have uncovered the story of the century? Well, no, but they've definitely uncovered one uniquely off-kilter personality.
