Quotable: Jane Lynch Won’t Get Married In A Track Suit

“I’m very excited! It’s a great and wonderful thing at the tender age of 49 to have finally found somebody that I want to be with. I’m so lucky. … With the wedding plans and even when I got to my hotel here in New York, I was looking for everything to be wrong and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m doing my Sue Sylvester.’ I will not be singing and don’t expect any track suits at my wedding.”

Neil Patrick Harris And Matthew Morrison Dream On

One more silver lining to the end of “Lost”? We’ll no longer be plagued by the internal debate about which to watch in real time—”Lost” or “Glee.” Because you were no doubt curious to see which candidate is taking over for Jacob in the last regular episode of the former, you probably missed last night’s amazing “Glee” episode, which featured Neil Patrick Harris along with Idina Menzel. Never fear. Here is the highlight—Neil and Matthew Morrison’s “Dream On” duet. You are welcome. Keep reading »

Betty White: 8 Shows We’d Actually Like To See Her On

Ever since the Facebook campaign to have Betty White host “Saturday Night Live” worked, new groups keep popping up calling for her to host the Oscars as well as make appearances on “Dancing with the Stars” and “Glee.” Personally, I like the idea of our favorite “Golden Girl” doing battle with Sue Sylvester on “Glee.” But I’d rather not see her on “Dancing with the Stars”—going on that show is basically an admission that you are a washed-up celeb that no one cares about. Plus, I’d hate to see Betty hurt herself while busting some crazy moves.

That said, there are quite a few shows out there that could benefit from a little Betty. After the jump, our wish list. Keep reading »

Frisky Rant: Newsweek’s Article About Gay Actors Is Way Off Base

A recent Newsweek article called “Straight Jacket,” about how gay actors can’t pull off straight roles, is causing mega-nega-buzz on the interwebs. Kristin Chenowith was the first to blast the piece, defending her “Promises, Promises” co-star Sean Hayes, who the article refers to as “the big pink elephant in the room.” Now producer Ryan Murphy and the entire cast of “Glee” are calling for a Newsweek boycott until the publication apologizes for the piece. In it, the writer calls Jonathan Groff (who plays Lea Michele’s new love interest on the show) “your average theater queen.”

This all got me wondering—is Ramin Setoodeh’s article really that offensive or are people just being overly sensitive? Sometimes quotes can be taken out of context. So I sat down for a careful read of “Straight Jacket” and wanted so badly to be able to say that people were getting their panties in a wad about nothing. But seriously, this article is so freaking out of line. Keep reading »

“Glee,” Hit Us One More Time: With A Britney Spears Episode

This week’s Madonna episode of “Glee” was one of my favorite hours of television so far this year. And it secretly has me hoping that the makers of the show will continue down the theme episode path. So, I am very much behind the campaign for a Britney Spears episode of the show. Brit-Brit’s manager, Adam Leber, posted on Twitter yesterday asking her close to 5 million followers to make #BritneySpearsGLEE a trending topic. So far, lots of folks have—let’s just hope that “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy and his clan run with the idea. How cool would it be to see Finn sing “Oops, I Did It Again” or Mercedes and Rachel bust out with “Toxic”? And heck, since Britney has done cameos on shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and (ugh) “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” maybe she’d actually put in an appearance. She could be Sue Sylvester’s much younger, more bubbly sister! Or a new Cheerio! [Just Jared] Keep reading »

10 Predictions For Tonight’s Madonna-Themed “Glee”

Even though Madge said she’s not a fan of “Glee,” she’s changed her tune after an advanced screening of tonight’s episode, an homage to the Material Girl, calling it “brilliant on every level.” I hope she plans on sending them a case of Kabbalah water to make up for her impropriety. So what should we expect tonight? Well, we already know about Jane Lynch’s amazing “Vogue” remake. But ever since the song list was leaked, my mind has been abuzz with other possibilities for the wall-to-wall Madonna episode. After the jump, tonight’s soundtrack and our predictions for the plot lines that accompany them. [Fox] Keep reading »

Quotable: Madonna Not So Gleeful About The “Glee” Madonna Episode

Madonna doesn’t have a TV and has no idea what ‘Glee’ is. The show did ask her if she wanted to make an appearance in the much-hyped Madonna episode. She said ‘no thanks’ and, to be honest, she would rather they sing an Elton John song than butcher one of hers.”

—An anonymous “friend” of Madonna‘s, who says she is none-too-excited about next week’s Madge-themed episode of “Glee.” Supposedly, she’ll make a cool $100K in royalties from the episode, though. So, you know, Rocco’s allowance for the month. [PopEater] Keep reading »

Jane Lynch Vogues As “Glee”‘s Sue Sylvester


I must admit, I only watched my first episode of “Glee” last night and was totally amused. But after catching this preview clip from next week’s Madonna-themed episode, I might have to become a loyal viewer. Jane Lynch, who has wowed me in all the Christopher Guest movies and plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on “Glee,” does “Vogue,” dare I say it, almost as entertainingly as Madge herself.

“Glee” Crystal Ball: What To Expect For The Rest Of The Season

Get out your karaoke machine and start practicing your Journey, because “Glee” comes back tonight, folks! We know that in the second half of this season, Idina Menzel will play Vocal Adrenaline’s coach, Olivia Newton-John will be a judge at Regionals, and Jennifer Lopez will be a cafeteria worker at McKinley High. We also know that next Tuesday is the big Madonna episode, which will feature 10 Material Girl tracks sung by assorted Gleeks. But what else can we expect this season? The scoops Entertainment Weekly got out of creator Ryan Murphy, after the jump. Semi-SPOILER alert. Keep reading »

Squeal With “Glee”: The Tour Is Coming To A City Near You

I’ve been feeling a bit of “Glee” withdrawal lately, which led to me rewatching the premiere episode over the weekend and getting goosebumps all over again at the gleek version of “Don’t Stop Believin.’” So I’m pretty darn pumped to hear that the cast of “Glee” is going on tour. Rachel, Finn, Mercedes, Kurt, Quinn, and his hotness Puck will all be part of the traveling show, though apparently Mr. Schuester is staying behind—perhaps he has chalkboard erasers to clean? The tour kicks off May 18, and will be heading to Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. If you don’t live in one of those cities, never fear. The show is back with new episodes on April 13.
