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:

Check out Mark Salling as he models some SoCal surfwear in the June issue of GQ (on newsstand nationwide, May 25). Check out all the photographs from the sunny, gorgeous beach-themed photo shoot. I don’t know where in Southern California that is, but I need a vacation there, stat!

Here’s an excerpt from the associated article:

On Glee, Mark Salling plays a high school badass who refers to the glee club as “homo explosion” (and then can’t help but join in on the geeked-out fun). This wasn’t exactly the kind of music Salling expected to make when he moved from Dallas to Hollywood eight years ago with his acoustic guitar strapped to his back, searching for a record deal. When asked if he’ll get to perform any of his original tunes when the Glee kids go on tour this summer—they’re playing sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall, among other venues—he says, laughing, “I think Fox would probably shit a brick over that.”

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.”

Chris Colfer and Mark Salling both weren’t allowed to listen to Madonna growing up. Colfer says, “My mother and grandmother had all the CDs but didn’t want me to hear about sex.” Similarly, Mark Salling grew up in a strict Christian home in the South, so “Madonna was considered the she-devil.” Haha! Of course Jane Lynch, being a bit older, has memories of Madonna’s success from an older time. She recalls “sitting at a bar all drunk on Long Island ice teas watching her ‘Material Girl’ video and thinking, ‘How Ballsy.’ ” That sounds like something Sue Sylvester would say!

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!

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! :)

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.

WATCH:

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”.

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.
