Kevin McHale was interviewed on Fox All Access. They talk about what “Artie” has taught Kevin, his family, being in a boy band and more! The rest of the long but fun interview is posted after the jump.

Part 1:

Jenna Ushkowitz was interviewed by the NY Post‘s PopWrap about Tina’s stutter, what happens in “Ballads” and more! Make sure that you read the whole interview to hear what Jenna thinks about Tina’s stutter being fake and what we can expect for the rest of the season.

PW: Does Tina get any more solos?
Jenna: “True Colors” is Tina’s — and I haven’t heard the extended version that will be on the CD, just the TV cut, so I’m actually really excited to hear that too.

PW: Have you given any thought to what you’d like Tina to sing in next year’s Madonna-only episode?
Jenna: Oh, there are a lot. I would love to do “Frozen” since it goes along with dark Tina. I’d like to see Kurt do “Material Girl!” Or maybe “Ray of Light,” “Open Your Heart,” “Like A Virgin” — they’re all classics. But our writers will do it right, I have faith!

PW: What else would you like to see in the second half of season one?
Jenna: I would love to see where Tina comes from because I’ve created my own backstory where she’s rebelling against her mother more than anything. I don’t think her room is filled with dark posters and heavy metal stuff — I just think this is a phase she’s going through. There’s definitely a lot of options for all the characters to evolve and change next year. I’m totally rooting for Tina to join The Cheerios or something crazy like that!

PW: Oh god, that would be amazing!
Jenna: It would be hilarious to see her with that high ponytail — but I have to keep the blue hair! I love my blue hair!

Jane Lynch was on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on November 17th. She talked some about her role on Glee, making up funny songs, making Carol Burnett laugh, getting $500 worth of Andy Richter’s parking tickets, and karate chopping throw pillows. I think she could be the funniest person alive.

Part 2:

ABC News NOW had the chance to chat with Jessalyn Gilsig, who plays Terri Schuester, about her role on Glee. They even played a hilarious clip from “Ballads” (that’s how I would handle a schoolgirl crush, haha) and Jessalyn seems like such a wonderful person. Definitely worth watching! :)

If Jenna Ushkowitz (who plays Tina Cohen-Chang) became a fan, and so should you. ;)

Here’s a preview for next week’s episode, “Ballads”. In order to get the Glee club members to express feelings they can’t otherwise get out, Mr. Schuester decides to pair them up to sing their favorite ballads. But when Rachel’s partner gets sick, Mr. Schuester steps in for him and finds himself in an awkward position. Then Finn meets Quinn’s parents (guest stars Gregg Henry and Charlotte Ross) for dinner, and they aren’t too pleased with his interpretation of the ballad he selected.

Update: Two HILARIOUS sneak peek videos after the jump!

Here’s a quote from EW Music Mix’s Tim Stack:

Personally, I cannot wait for “True Colors” and “My Life Would Suck Without You!” And co-creator Brad Falchuk says that the cast performance of “Imagine,” which is a collaboration with a deaf choir, is truly something special. “I’m warning you to prepare for that,” says Falchuk. “There’s been no one who’s watched that number and not cried. It’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen.”

Here is the entire track listing, in the order they will air:

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.

Kevin McHale was interviewed by the NY Post‘s PopWrap about what happened in “Wheels” and so much more! It is one of the best interviews with a single cast member I have read so far, which is really saying something! Make sure that you read the whole interview since it also talks about making the wheelchair musical number, the upcoming Madonna episode and what we can expect for the rest of the original 13 episodes.

PW: Had you been told about Artie’s crush on Tina before reading it in the script?
Kevin: Kind of. From day one Ryan always said that he thought Artie and Tina should be together, so we assumed it would eventually happen. SO if you look back, we’re always sitting next to one another. So Jenna and I were always waiting — it’ll happen in the next episode, in the next episode … but neither of us guessed how it would turn out.

PW: Which was more shocking Tina’s fake stutter or Artie’s reaction?
Kevin: Well, we kind of figured her stutter would go away, but we never know what to think on that show. So I’m going to say Artie’s reaction was more shocking. At first I couldn’t figure out why he was being so dramatic. But I really think Artie fell for Tina because they were set apart by their disabilities. They’re already kind of outcasts being in glee, but within that group they shared a connection. So he based their whole relationship on that and when it went away, Artie didn’t know what to do.

PW: How long can he stay mad?
Kevin: I don’t know, we haven’t shot it yet. But we have our ideas of what should happen.

PW: And that would be?
Kevin: I like Artie and Tina together because Jenna and I are best friends anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

PW: Another huge reveal last night was the discovery of Sue’s sister.
Kevin: I think that’s one of the best things the show has ever done.

PW: Not gunna lie, I cried from that reveal all the way through to the end.
Kevin: Oh, so did we. The cast watches all the episodes together and the first half has some of the best comedy that we’ve done so far in it, but then it turns. You get Kurt and his father, Artie and Tina and Sue and her sister. It’s just back-to-back and everyone started crying. It was insane. When you read this stuff in a script it’s different — obviously we know something’s there, but to see it on screen is amazing. Especially Sue, who you’re wondering about the whole time. It could have been really bad, it’s such a sensitive subject, but I think it turns out to be one of the best moments in the show.

PW: It’s another amazing example of how inclusive the show is to everyone.
Kevin: Absolutely. And I’m so proud to be a part of something that’s not afraid to tackle taboo subjects. Especially with Sue’s sister having Down Syndrome. I don’t know whether another show would be brave enough to handle that.

I want Artie & Tina to be a couple!

The Glee cast recently visited ‘Extra‘ and here’s a video of an interview with Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale and Chris Colfer.

Rumors have been circulating that Monteith has been cozying up to Lea Michele, who plays Glee club star Rachel Berry — but the actor is remaining mum on the nature of their relationship.

“What rumors?” Cory says when asked about the romance whispers. “It’s incredible — as soon as people get on television, rumors pop up.” When pressed about being single, Monteith turned and asked McHale, “Are you single?” McHale responded, “I’m single if you’re single.”

You may either leave your questions here as a comment, or email them to me directly at Rob@GleeFan.com with the subject “Chris Colfer Fan Question(s)”. Remember to include your real name and optionally your country since we will include them with the questions. Also, use your real email because I will be sending out an email to the people whose questions were selected.

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.”

On Monday, November 9th, Fox held an advance screening of this week’s episode of Glee, “Wheels“. Our LA rep, Shelly (@GleekShelly) got tickets to the event and wrote up her full report! Producers Dante Di Loretto, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan were there to introduce the episode, as were castmates Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Chris Colfer (Kurt) and Kevin McHale (Artie)!

At the end of the report, there is a slight spoiler about a very special guest star, but I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you read it. :) Enjoy!

I apologize in advance for the picture quality – I had an epic camera failure and had to resort to using my iPhone. :(

When I arrived at the ArcLight at 6:30, there were about 20-25 people already in line.

They started handing out tickets and wristbands at 7:30 and let the line in at 8.
