In case you missed it, check out this HILARIOUS interview with Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, and Matthew Morrison on the British comedy show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man! There are some great, great moments in this one. :)
On Friday, May 28, 2010, my day started by stepping off of a Greyhound bus and into New York City for the first time in my life. After only an hour or so to go check out the hotel we would be checking into later that day, it was time to head off to the P.C. Richard & Son Theater in Tribeca. As a sort of last minute surprise, I was able to bring my friend Emily Zhang with me, so that’s who you’ll see me with in the pictures. She was going to stay back and do something else, but I was able to get her an entry thanks to the awesome people at iheartradio. We took the subway from 50th to Canal St., and stood in the line that was forming outside of the building. I texted my contact at iheartradio, saying that I was there, and she came out to get me! We got to bypass most of the line and we came inside to get a sneak peek of the theater before everyone else was allowed in. It was set up to look like a classroom, but they chalkboards had hilarious caricature drawings of all the cast members. I remember that when Amber saw the one of her, she commented on how big her head was. Hehe…

Right before it started, we got to save our seats in the theater. We sat in the second row (I believe that the 1st row was reserved for employees) and we got wristbands so that we could leave and come back in easily. We dropped our stuff off in our seets, and then got some breakfast. Everything was provided by Dunkin’ Donuts, so the donuts and coffee was great. Then we went back to our seats and ate while the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show people came in. This was awesome for me because I listen to them almost every morning on a local station, Q94, but I had no idea what they actually looked like! Greg T., who Elvis Duran usually refers to as frat boy or round head, went around asking for peoples’ questions to ask the cast during the interview. Finally, the Glee cast came in.
The cast members who were present were Cory Monteith (“Finn Hudson”), Kevin McHale (“Artie Abrams”), Jenna Ushkowitz (“Tina Cohen-Chang”), Naya Rivera (“Santana Lopez”), Amber Riley (“Mercedes Jones”) and Mark Salling (“Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman”). After some introduction, they began answering questions. Some of the questions were from the audience (approximately 100 people), in which case Greg T. would go to the person who had a question and let them ask it into the mic. Other times, they would take callers with questions, which Elvis was able to do on stage using his iPad. One of the funniest times was when a caller was trying to ask the cast about their ages in relationship of the ages of their characters, but their cellphone signal was so bad that only every other syllable was audible. Obviously, the Glee cast had no idea what they were trying to say. Enjoy this captioned image of Jenna, Cory & Amber’s confused faces:

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.”

GLEE: Only in LA…who knew that a quick run to my friendly neighborhood Target would yield such a wonderful surprise? I go for dishwasher liquid and end up walking right onto the open set of GLEE!! I’m a huge fan, and I have to admit even for a city girl that was pretty cool! It was a shopping mall scene between Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) and Artie (Kevin Mchale)…
SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you don’t want to know!
In this particular scene, Tina exchanges an anxious look with Artie…and then Tina helps Artie stand up from his wheelchair!!!! Is it possible that Artie’s future won’t include a wheelchair?? We can only speculate, but what a great new twist. I can’t wait to find out.
Whatever they do, as long as they keep the music amazing, this girl will be tuning in!!! Upcoming guests include Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Idina Menzel and more!!Which guest are you most excited about seeing this season???
Editor’s Note: This info isn’t 100% confirmed, but it’s definitely something to think about! Eyes and ears open, Gleeks!
Several Glee cast members have posed for photographs by Adam Bouska as part of the NOH8 Campaign – a photographic silent protest for the repeal of Proposition 8.

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:

GLEE -- Casting Sessions
Lea Michele, Mark Salling, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Chris Colfer stopped by the Yahoo! studio to talk about “Glee‘s impact on music, television, and kids today.”
Read the accompanying article on Yahoo! Music: Yay Glee!: The Cast Interview
Also check out this Yahoo! Music article about the possibility of Adam Lambert being on Glee, complete with a video outtake of Mark and Lea from the interview.
Jenna Ushkowitz was interviewed by the NY Post‘s PopWrap about Tina’s stutter, what happens in “Ballads” and more! Make sure that you read the whole interview to hear what Jenna thinks about Tina’s stutter being fake and what we can expect for the rest of the season.
PW: Does Tina get any more solos?
Jenna: “True Colors” is Tina’s — and I haven’t heard the extended version that will be on the CD, just the TV cut, so I’m actually really excited to hear that too.PW: Have you given any thought to what you’d like Tina to sing in next year’s Madonna-only episode?
Jenna: Oh, there are a lot. I would love to do “Frozen” since it goes along with dark Tina. I’d like to see Kurt do “Material Girl!” Or maybe “Ray of Light,” “Open Your Heart,” “Like A Virgin” — they’re all classics. But our writers will do it right, I have faith!PW: What else would you like to see in the second half of season one?
Jenna: I would love to see where Tina comes from because I’ve created my own backstory where she’s rebelling against her mother more than anything. I don’t think her room is filled with dark posters and heavy metal stuff — I just think this is a phase she’s going through. There’s definitely a lot of options for all the characters to evolve and change next year. I’m totally rooting for Tina to join The Cheerios or something crazy like that!PW: Oh god, that would be amazing!
Jenna: It would be hilarious to see her with that high ponytail — but I have to keep the blue hair! I love my blue hair!
