The ULTIMATE Season 2 Spoiler Round-Up!

Filed under Glee Cast & Crew, Glee Episode Spoilers, Glee Guest Stars, Glee TV Show News by Tinkers on 04-08-2010

I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!

New Characters:

  • Kurt gets a boyfriend. An “everyday guy.” He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
  • A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
  • Sam Elliot will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
  • Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
  • Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
  • Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
  • Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
  • John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
  • Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
  • Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?

*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.

Glee Attendees at Comic-Con 2010

Filed under Glee Cast & Crew, Glee Events by Tinkers on 24-06-2010

Glee will once again be attending the San Diego Comic-Con! Since last year’s panel, Glee has exploded into an international phenomenon, winning at the Golden Globes, SAG awards, and People’s Choice Awards, just to name a few. The fanbase has exploded, twitter accounts gaining thousands of followers, and the actors have become household names. Some people questioned why Glee first came to the five-day long convention, but their return to Comic-Con was all but imminent. This year, the panel will feature actors that were absent from last year’s.

So, there’s good news and bad news. The good: Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, Mark Salling, Heather Morris, and Naya Rivera will be attending the panel and answering fan questions, alongside Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy. The bad: Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith will be MIA. Jane Lynch will be absent as well; apparently she had a scheduling conflict.

Now, before you take drastic measures: “Last year, we brought down Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, and Dianna Agron. Because we have such a large cast and we can’t bring everyone every year, this year we decided to bring down some of the cast who didn’t get to go last summer,” A Fox spokesperson tells Entertainment Weekly.

Makes sense, right? To quote Sue Sylvester: “We’re giving everyone a chance to be a star! Find your voice, stomp that yard, all that crap!”

GleeFan Exclusive: Amber Riley Q&A

Filed under Amber Riley, Glee Interviews, GleeFan.com Exclusive by Rob on 16-08-2009

Amber Riley Recently, you submitted questions for Glee‘s Amber Riley. Now we have her answers for the questions that were chosen to be a part of this fun Q&A. If you like the Q&A, let us know in the comments section! We would like to thank Amber for being nice enough to answer the fan questions and we will hopefully have more in the future!

Enjoy the Q&A and feel free to comment! All questions after the first 4 are after the jump. :)

Q: “What’s your most memorable moment between you and your cast mates, and why?” – Melanie
A: I think the night we saw the first commercial had to be the most memorable for me. It was the first time it felt real.

Q: “Hi Amber! First let me say I love you on Glee, and I can’t wait for more Mercedes! Secondly, I have to wonder since three of your principle cast mates have already debuted on Broadway, is it something you plan/hope to do in later life?” –Korey
A: I have always wanted to appear in a musical, because I love acting and singing equally, I just think it will be a great fit! But we shall see :)

Q: “Hi Amber, “Bust Your Windows” was awesome. You are definitely a triple threat! You’re voice is so soulful and powerful. I remember in an interview Lea saying, “Take a Bow” by Rihanna was kind of hard to sing. Did you feel that way about any songs you sing this season?” – Eunice
A: Yes, I don’t consider myself a “gritty” singer as they say. I have a softer toned voice and I’m not a belter by nature. So doing songs like “Bust Your Windows” was kind of difficult. I had to dig deep from a different place.

Q: “Amber, I heard your rendition of “Bust Your Windows” and I have to say, your voice is unforgettable. When or how did you first start singing?” – Lucy
A: I was actually 2 years old when mother discovered how much I loved music and how easy it was for me to pick up the songs that she would sing. My first performance was at a park. I just remember singing and a lot of clapping at the end, but I was only 4 at the time.
