The long awaited casting decision for Kurt’s boyfriend, Sam, has finally been revealed. The character which has, in the past, been described as Kurt’s potential boyfriend will be played by Chord Overstreet, who is still fairly new on the acting scene. He’s had a couple guest starring roles in shows such as iCarly and the upcoming No Ordinary Family, but Sam should be his biggest role to date. It’s been announced that he will appear in the season-premiere, and Glee co-producer Dante Di Loreto has confirmed via Twitter that he’ll be in “some early new episodes” of Season 2.
In a recent Comic-Con interview with Michael Ausiello, the cast had a few things to say about the upcoming storyline. “Actually, I’ve heard that they might be leaning towards another storyline which would delay that,” Chris Colfer tells Ausiello. “I’ve heard that it might be provocative, though.” Amber speculated, “He may still find love, but he may not have a boyfriend.” Kevin said, “I want to see a boyfriend, though,” which the rest of the cast collectively agreed with. “I think we all do,” Jenna added.
We didn’t know too much about Sam before, but we did know that he’s supposed to be an openly gay football player at McKinley who eventually becomes Kurt’s love interest in the show. Fox’s latest press release has added that he starts off as a sort of protégé to Finn, but eventually becomes his competition. Could this be the storyline which causes the delay for the character’s budding romance with Kurt? Possibly.
To find out more about Chord, visit his IMDB page, check out his MySpace (with a song likely sung by his father), or catch him in the online web series, Private.

Chris Colfer was on The View and they talked about the sold-out concert tour, Kurt’s relationship with his father, and Chris’ advice for people who are being bullied in real life. The women of The View were amazed by his voice, especially in “Rose’s Turn.”
You can’t see it in the clip above, but Chris says that filming that scene was one of the best moments of his life. He says, “I think that there’s a certain power that an empty audience has and when I was performing that number, it was just me and the crew, and it was a really late night, and it was just awesome being able to get up there and perform and just lit up on stage.” Also, when asked who his dream guest would be, he replied, “Oh, I really want Julie Andrews to play Kurt’s grandmother.” That would be awesome!
Last week, Chris Colfer stopped by The Ellen Degeres Show and today Lea Michele did the same. Check out the videos of their visits below!
Lea chatted with Ellen about Glee‘s crazy success and told a story about how she almost hit a celeb with her car. Luckily, nobody was hurt. xD
When Chris was on, he talked a bit about his past, being bullied in school, and he even told his embarrassing story of meeting Lady Gaga.
Check out this Youtube video incorporating all the 30 second previews for Episode 16, titled Home! The tracks include: Home, Beautiful, A House Is Not A Home, Fire, and One Less Bell To Ring/A House Is Not A Home. Two songs feature Kristin Chenoweth, reprising her role as April Rhodes!

In this week’s issue of the newly redesigned TV Guide Magazine, the cast of Glee talks Madonna for their episode airing April 20 on FOX. Check out the cover below (click to see HQ quality image) and make sure to watch the behind the scenes video of their photo shoot!
Lea Michele talks about her early memories of attending Madonna’s Drowned World Tour three times and even styled her hair like Miss Ciccone when attending Bat Mitzvahs. On the other hand, Modonna wasn’t too important to Matthew Morrison, who says, “I wasn’t a big fan of Madonna; never got into it… As a heterosexual guy, she didn’t have much impact on my life.”

Check out this insane video from Cory Montieth’s twitvid! He never ceases to amaze us with these videos he posts. xD This one is on a SLIGHTLY different note from the brawl video that Mark posted earlier.
The Glee cast had an exciting day meeting the Obamas and performing a few songs at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition that dates back to 1878. The event opened with Amber Riley singing the National Anthem. That girl can sing! By the end of the day, the cast had sung Somebody to Love, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Sweet Caroline, True Colors, Home, and Don’t Stop Believing. Enjoy the videos of the cast’s performances below and make sure to check out Michelle Obama singing and dancing along to Sweet Caroline. Looks like fun! :)
Also, we’ve added the cast’s Tweets from the day so that you can check out all of their fun TwitPics and Harry Shum’s 6 minute video that he recorded while on the lawn! Enjoy!

I’m sure you all know who Chris Colfer is and you’ve heard his fantastic story about how he got the role of Kurt Hummel on Glee. However, there’s another member of the Colfer family whose story is even more inspirational. Meet Hannah Colfer, Chris Colfer’s little sister. Hannah suffers from severe epilepsy and has approximately 50 seizures an hour. While her condition is quite tragic, her family works very hard to the the best of the situation.
Below is a radio interview that Karyn Colfer, Chris and Hannah’s mom, did with KYNO Radio in Fresno, CA. Karyn talks about her daughter’s condition and all that they have had to go through as a family. She says that now that Chris is out of the house and she has a little more time on her hands, she has affiliated herself with an organization that is dedicated to finding a cure for epilepsy, CURE – Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy. Please watch the inspirational video below, but be warned that some of the images of the side effects from Hannah’s epilepsy medication are a bit graphic.
If you would like to know more about CURE, you can visit their website. Also, I’m sure everyone would appreciate it if you took the time to make a donation, no matter how small. If you would like, you can even make it in Hannah Colfer’s name by checking “Yes, this is an honor or memorial gift.” on the donation page.
Lastly, if you’re going to Tweet about this, please include the hashtags #WeLoveHannahColfer and #SupportCURE in order to help raise awareness.
Thank you very much! Hannah is truly an inspiration and I’m sure Karyn Colfer is very proud of both of her amazing children. :)
Did I mention I LOVE Korbi?!
ZAP2it‘s Korbi is releasing a new Glee interview from PaleyFest EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! Today she unveiled this great, great interview with Chris, talking about his love for Finn and how easy it is to feel sorry for his character. Read the full story at KorbiTV and watch the video below! :)
As you probably already know, cast members of Glee love to fool around behind the scenes – as demonstrated pretty well by Cory’s twitvids. Check them out. :) Someone around the Paramount Lot happened to witness this tomfoolery and snapped a few candid pics for our enjoyment! :) A few of these are may contain spoilers, so be warned:
Jenna and Kevin RUN!
E!Online got the chance to talk with Chris Colfer, Amber Riley and Kevin McHale on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards!
It’s not quite the hysteria surrounding Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but Glee stars Lea Michelle and Cory Monteith can’t seem to shake tabloid tales of an offscreen romance.
