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!

I found some video footage that somebody leaked online, and so I edited together this video for you guys. See if you can spot Cory Monteith (Finn) and Mark Salling (Puck) on the court. Enjoy! :)

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.”

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.

The cast of Glee was on the Tyra Show today! They met a few of their fans who are choir/theater kids in real life. They also played a game called “Glee-crets” where they tried to guess each other’s secrets and there was a glee-off between two real high school glee clubs!

A few real life high school “gleeks” got the surprise of a lifetime when the cast of “Glee” appeared alongside them on the “Tyra Show” stage. Check out their reaction and watch the rest of the episode Friday at 4pm on the CW.

Here is a collection of music related interviews with Dianna Agron, Mark Salling, Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale from SPIN.com.

We invited four Glee cast members — Dianna Agron (Quinn), Mark Salling (Puck), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), and Kevin McHale (Artie) — to stop by SPIN’s NYC office, take us inside the fictional McKinley High School, and talk about the show’s best moments, the songs they’d love to see “Glee-ified,” their own musical loves, Neil Diamond’s Twitter habits, and much more.

AOL has three new interview videos with the cast of Glee! The first one is through AOL Music’s website, PopEater.com. In it, the Glee cast talk about their personal music preferences, musical idols and more. (There are two more videos after the jump.)

We’ll give you some hints: someone’s a huge Britney Spears fan, there’s a love for Beyonce, Michael Jackson was a cast member’s childhood alias and one cast member cites Bob Dylan as a recent favorite. If that’s not enough, you’ll definitely want to know whose favorite concert was metal act Pantera, of which it was described to us as “Satan’s gift to earth.”

If you follow me on Twitter (@GleekRob), then you would know that we now have a LA rep for GleeFan.com! I have known Shelly for a while now through our sister site, GleeForum.com, and she is awesome! She lives in the LA area and has had the chance to go to multiple Glee events, including the screening of the second episode and Q&A at Outfest 2009 and the taping of episode 13, “Sectionals”. If you have a Twitter account, make sure to follow her! (@GleekShelly)

Here is her report of her most recent adventure at the Glee soundtrack signing at The Grove in LA. The rest of the report is after the jump. Enjoy! :)

I arrived at The Grove at around 3 pm, and was told to line up down the block from Barnes and Noble and Banana Republic. There was already a massive line down the side of the store and around the corner – the first group in line had gotten there at around 11 am.

Craziness.

The cast went on “It’s On With Alexa Chung” on November 3, 2009. They played musical chairs (with a twist) and talked about the upcoming Madonna episode.

Mark Salling has recently updated his website, and it now has a cool “Media” page. It contains his music videos, some are Glee related, some aren’t. My favorite was his homage to the cast and crew of Glee! His music is really good and it’s fun to get a peak at some of the cast and crew members behind the scenes.

Update: Hilarious Glee cast interview on The 7pm Project at the bottom of the post.

As you may know (we posted it here earlier), the Glee cast is currently in Australia promoting the show on Network Ten. Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale and Mark Salling have had mall appearances in Sydney and Melbourne. Also, they were in the audience of Australian Idol.

Thanks to Ross Blandon, who gave us this quote and linked the 2 vids below.

The Glee cast arrived at 1:30pm sharp to be greeted by over 2,000 Sydney Glee fans. They answered a few questions from the hosts and audience, before signing autographs in an outdoor stage area for over two hours. Gleeks were then treated to a screening of episode two, which is yet to air in Australia.

On competition of the in-store appearance, the Glee cast was rushed to the set of Australian Idol, where they had been invited by Network 10 to be guest audience members on the reality series. Throughout the show, the Australia Idol hosts went to the audience to interview the Glee cast and promote Glee.

Heads up, Australia! The cast of Glee is headed your way! After a pretty extensive tour across the USA, the cast of Glee is now going to go and promote the show in Australia.

Seeing as Glee airs on the Australian channel, Network TEN, it would only be fitting that ten of the cast members be going on this promotional tour. Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale and Mark Salling are all making the trip down under.

During mid-September, the cast will go to Melborne and will appear on Rove, The 7pm Project and meet the singers of Australian Idol. They also plan on climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge and visiting the Bondi Rescue lifeguards at Bondi Beach.

It sounds like it should be an exciting time for them! Let’s hope all goes well in Australia. The more Gleeks, the better. :)

PLUS be one of the first 100 there to win tickets to an exclusive screening of episode 2 at Hoyts that day.
Melbourne: Come down to Highpoint this Saturday from 3pm to meet the stars live PLUS be one of the first 150 there to win tickets to an exclusive screening of episode 2 & celebrate with the stars at Hoyts.

The ‘Glee’ Team Storms Hot Topic from Talk of Fame.

This is a very interesting article where Mark Salling, who plays Puck on Glee, talks about how hard it was to make it in LA and finally get on a TV show like Glee.

Mark Salling had almost given up on LA.

The 27-year-old musician and songwriter, who grew up in Lake Highlands, had been struggling for a showbiz break for seven years, teaching guitar lessons and doing local gigs to get by. But his career was stagnant.

“I was planning on moving back to maybe Austin and trying my luck there,” he says. But first, he’d try one more thing.
