We recently got the chance to talk with Glee‘s Harry Shum Jr. while he was busy promoting his new movie. You probably know him as Mike Chang in New Directions, but he is also reprising his role, Cable from Step Up 2: The Streets, in the latest installment of the Step Up series, Step Up 3D. We chatted over the phone with him about everything from Step Up 3D to The LXD and even asked him about working with the new Glee cast additions, Chord Overstreet and Charice. We had a ton of fun with the interview and hope that you enjoy it. Make sure to check out Step Up 3D in theaters everywhere on August 6th.

Ok, first question. Step Up 3D is a dance film shot entirely in 3D, so how was filming a 3D movie different from filming a normal 2D film or TV show?

You know, it’s a lot different as far as how they film it. They have to use 2 lens special cameras and they try and not change our movements too much. They want us to be as organic as possible, but at certain moments, if you spin too fast, the camera might not read it in a sense of the 3D technology, but definitely pulling us in and out through depth and making the audience feel like they’re there. What’s cool is after you get done filming a dance sequence, you can go around to the monitors and put on some glasses, and they have this big HD monitor where you can see the playback in 3D, so that was the coolest part of it.

Any ‘let’s reach right into the camera’ moves?

No, they try to stay away from that. I mean, there is one or two of those, just for the fun of paying homage to the Captian EO’s of the Michael Jackson old 3D ride, you know, but most of the time it just throws you into the action and makes you feel like you’re there. Like, they have a camera shot where they’re panning behind a guy’s head and it looks like you’re one of the audience members trying to look past the guy and see the action happen. So it’s really cool. It’s like people dancing on your lap.

What was it like getting to film in New York City?

Oh, it was so cool. I mean, at that moment, I was filming Glee at the same time and I literally was just going from the set of Glee all the way jumping onto the set of Step Up 3D as well as working on LXD at the same time. It was definitely a heavy multitasking, but there’s something about the energy of New York that gives you this energy to want to dance, especially because it has so much history. That’s where hip hop originated from, so I love it there, man. You know, I think it was the right idea to bring Step Up 3D to New York.

Yeah, another question I had was what was is like having to balance working on LXD, Step Up, and Glee all at the same time?

I got confused a couple of moments. When we’d start doing certain rehearsals, and ‘uh, where am I at right now? Oh yeah, I’m at LXD’ — a little bit of scheduling and just having the love of being a part of these projects. You know I just feel so lucky and blessed to be part of all these projects and especially Glee for what it represents and Step Up 3D for being so innovative, and LXD just being able to be in all aspects of the creative process. It’s really been a dream to be a part of all these projects at the same time, so I think that’s what keeps me going and to be able to want to make all across the board, everything I do for all the projects, giving it my all. So that’s the passion that definitely keeps me going.

Ever wonder if Miley Cyrus may guest star on Glee one day, or even if they might slip in more of her songs, or dare I say it:  a Miley Cyrus-themed episode? Think again. Miley Cyrus has already let it be known to the public of her disinterest in the hit show.

As many avid fans may already know, the episode Laryngitis featured Rachel Berry attempting to sing her rendition of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, only to discover she has tonsillitis. When asked about her own thoughts of Glee, the Hannah Montana Star gave Billboard Magazine the following quote.

“Honestly, musicals? I just can’t.What if this was real life and I was just walking down the street on Rodeo Drive and all of a sudden I just burst into song about how much I love shoes?” There was then a pause, followed by laughter as she added in, “It would get hits on YouTube”.

The interview, in addition with the quotes above, can both be read in June’s issue of Billboard Magazine.

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!

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:

Starry Constellation Magazine seems to constantly be interviewing Glee cast members, and this time they chatted with actress Lauren Gottlieb. Lauren was on the dance competition show So You Think You Can Dance, and now is on Glee as a member of Vocal Adrenaline. Lauren talked about her experiences as a Vocal Adrenaline member in the interview, but if you listen to the extended podcast of their interview, you can also hear Lauren talk about some of the injuries on set and more! Make sure to check out the full interview on StarryMag.com and listen to a podcast of the interview, here.

Q. You’ll soon be seen again in Vocal Adrenaline on the show “Glee,” how did you get involved in the show?

A. It was an audition that I went on. I started in the pilot and that was 2008 when we auditioned. When I got on set the first time one of the creators came up to me and said that he was a huge fan of mine from “So You Think You Can Dance.” I don’t know if he was the one who chose me or what. I have a really funny story from that shoot, it was the pilot, and it was before they got really smart and realized that we don’t really necessarily have to choreograph a five minute dance number because there is only going to be a minute or a minute and a half that’s going to be played. They started us with a five minute number that you’re on set doing maybe twenty times or whatever it may be. My costume was really small, they had run out of the size that I needed, and they gave me a really, really small one. I couldn’t breath and I actually got so sick that I had to run off set a couple of times and I actually was throwing up. In the middle of shooting this crazy number I was running off and throwing up. The funny part is that another girl hurt her neck and had to go to the hospital. A couple of weeks later I get called in for another episode and the whole theme about the episode was how this girl was bulimic and she was throwing up and this other girl got whiplash and she had this neck brace on. They actually wrote our story into the script, it was really sad.

Q. Are there any “Glee” cast members that you’ve become friendly with from appearing on the show?

A. The girl who plays Brittany on the show, Heather Morris, we actually grew up together in Arizona and went to the same high school together. I’ve known her for forever and we were at two different dance studios. She’s a year older than I am and we were these funky, crazy people, and I looked up to her so much, and I was completely addicted to her energy. We were at rival dance studios but we kind of brought everyone together and nixed out all of that competition stuff. We had a blast growing up!
