“Glee’s” resident starlet Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) was voted “Most Likely To Stick With The Bare Necessities,” and sports a sexy and skimpy nude-colored ensemble paired with nude heels in the spread.

Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) – “Glee’s” heartthrob – nabs the “Most Likely To Succeed Without Really Trying” honor and is styled as “chic rebellion” with a mix of preppy gear and a leather biker jacket.

Check out all the pictures & video below, and click here for the full article.

Starry Mag Interview with Iqbal Theba, AKA Principal Figgins

Filed under Glee Interviews by Rob on 01-02-2010

Cory Monteith and Taylor SwiftStarry Constellation Magazine has interviewed a lot of the cast members of Glee before, and their latest features Iqbal Theba, who you probably know as the hilarious Principal Figgins. The interview has a couple light spoilers, and I really enjoyed it! Definitely take the time to read it. :)

They’ll be interviewing Josh Sussman (who plays Jacob Ben Israel) next, so send them your questions if you have any!

Q. Where do you draw from for your portrayal of Principal Figgins?

A. Basically I read the script and just tried to get the feeling for it. I also knew Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk because I had done “Nip/Tuck” for them before “Glee.” I knew their sensibility and what they want and then accordingly I read it. I also go by my gut feeling, wherever my gut takes me, I go. He’s very different from the guy that I played in “Nip/Tuck,” that guy was much more self assured and arrogant. Figgins is somebody who wanted to be a CEO, but is not for some reason, whatever it may be. He wanted to be rich like Lee Iacoca or somebody but now he has to live with the fact that he is a principal at a small town high school. It kind of shows on his body and the language he uses and the way he acts. I thought he’s a guy who wanted to be somebody big but he’s not and now he has to deal with it. He has to deal with all of these trivial things on a daily basis, like money, the students, the teachers, and Sue, they come at him with the speed of light. I think of all of that and try to incorporate it in my behavior and just play it and basically just say the words. It’s written so well, it’s written really, really well.

Q. The back nine episodes will begin airing in April, what can you tell us will be happening with the show and with your character?

A. We don’t really read beyond one or two episodes. I don’t think any of the cast members have any idea what’s going to happen in the number seven or eight or nine episodes. I know Jane Lynch puts me in an awkward situation, I can’t really tell you much, I don’t think I am supposed to. It becomes really embarrassing for the principal again. It’s going to be really interesting, poor Figgins has to suffer at the hands of Sue. Figgins new found power from the last episode that aired isn’t going to last too long.

Interviews with the Hilarious Jane Lynch

Filed under Glee Interviews, Jane Lynch by Rob on 16-01-2010

Jane LynchThere have been some fun interviews with Jane Lynch (who is officially one of my favorite people) on a few different sites, so here’s a roundup with three of them! I’ve included excerpts to help you pick and choose which you’d like to read. Enjoy! :)

TV.com talked with Jane Lynch, saying she is “the Nicest Person Ever”. Aww! Jane answers some questions about what it’s like to play Sue, her upcoming musical number on Glee and potentially branching out from just comedy.

On playing Sue: “I always say when I put on that track suit, I have a license to say anything I want. I think it’s probably very good therapy, because I’m a much nicer person at home. I get it all out at work, and that kind of contemptuousness and heinous behavior is just very shallowly below the surface for me, so it’s kind of nice.”
On Sue’s upcoming musical number: “It’s kind of a dream come true because I love to sing. I got to sing in A Mighty Wind… It’s not as easy as one thinks. You have to be right on pitch-wise and you have to be right on time-wise, and I always thought I was very good at those things, but according to Adam [Anders, Glee's musical producer] I am not. He had to direct me several times.”

Glee to Perform Original Music!

Filed under Glee Episode Spoilers, Glee Interviews, Glee TV Show News, Ryan Murphy by Rob on 30-12-2009

Ryan MurphyIt appears the Glee will be getting a whole episode in the back nine, showcasing some original music! Even though the show has been doing an amazing job with their covers, it’ll be fun to see what original songs they’ll be performing in the spring. Here’s what Ryan Murphy had to say to Billboard.com:

“I’ve had a lot of calls from songwriters, to the point where it’s kind of embarrassing and ridiculous,” he says. “So we’re writing an episode called ‘Original Song’ where the teacher asks the kids to write their own piece of music. Diane Warren is going to do two big ballads, and if it works, we’ll see what happens . . . but we won’t do it all the time.”

Ryan TedderAlso, Ryan Tedder, who’s in one of my personal favorite bands, OneRepublic, co-wrote the song “Halo” with Beyoncé. When Idolator.com asked him if he’d seen the mashup between “Halo” and “Walking on Sunshine” on Glee, he told Idolator.com:

“I did! Glee is actually my new addiction. I download every episode. They actually just approached me. Adam Anders, the guy who does all the music, approached me about two weeks ago to do original music for the next season. So I’m gonna be doing at least one song for the next season that’s original.”

I’m excited for some original tunes, aren’t you? :)

Awkward ELLE Interview with Matthew Morrison

Filed under Glee Interviews, Matthew Morrison by Rob on 23-12-2009

Matthew MorrisonWell if this doesn’t make you feel awkward, then I don’t know what will. Here’s an excerpt from an interview that ELLE Magazine did with Matthew Morrison. I’m not quite sure what was running through the interviewer’s mind for his first few questions/comments…

ELLE: So, Matt, you’re a musical theater star who’s been interviewed by The Advocate and much discussed on Manhunt.com, and you star in Glee, a program that’s referred to as “the gayest show on TV.” You must feel particularly proud being the first gay man to grace this page.

MATTHEW MORRISON: I’m not gay.

ELLE: I had indeed read in various places that you’re straight, but in light of the circumstantial evidence, I wasn’t sure.

MM: I grew up singing and dancing, so people have been calling me gay since fifth grade. I’ve heard everything you could possibly hear about it. But I do love gay people, so I’m not going to act like I was insulted or angry about it.

ELLE: But do you ever do anything to suppress your gayest traits? Like, on a club dance floor, will you keep a lid on your best moves in order not to look too much like Tommy Tune out there?

MM: Oh, yeah. I’ll do what I refer to as “the shoulder dance,” just, you know, move my shoulders and do a little head bobbing.
