“Pot O’ Gold” Sneak Peek Video!

We are so close! After surviving three grueling weeks without our beloved show, only a few more days seperate us from being reunited with our favorite TV show, and it feels so good! To hold us over, Fox posted a new video introducing us to Rory Flanagan, the foreign exchange student played by The Glee Project winner Damian McGinty.

In the video, Damian discusses his time on The Glee Project, singing in front of the cast for the first time, and working on the show, which he says is “a dream.”

We already know that Rory is a foreign exchange student living with Brittany and that causes some tension between the Irishman and Santana. It’s safe to say that we can get ready for some hilarious one-liners from the queen of mean.

We are so excited for Tuesday! Are you excited for Damian’s arrival?

What’s Up with Emma?

Posted by Jon on Oct-30-2011 under Interviews, Jayma Mays, Matthew Morrison

Photo Credit:The last time we saw Emma Pillsbury she was sobbing and praying while Will promised (in song, of course) that he would help her overcome her OCD once and for all. Easier said than done, considering that it took Emma the greater part of two seasons to start therapy for her issues. With hints at the end of “Asian F” that she’s returned to her old destructive ways, TVLine interviewed Jayma Mays and asked her if Will had what it takes to fix her.

“Oh, that’s a very deep question… I… I don’t know that anybody can fix anybody, but I do feel that if I’m going to be sentimental about it, there are elements to both Emma and Will that bring out the best in each other, and that’s what good about well-written couples. I definitely think that Will has the ability to do that for Emma.”

Sounds like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for these two. And, in cheerier news, Jayma confirmed that she will be performing a duet with Matthew Morrison on an original song written by music producer Adam Anders for the show’s second Christmas album, which will be released November 15. Just one more reason for us to put it on our Christmas lists.

Chord Overstreet to Return to Glee

Posted by Laura on Oct-18-2011 under Chord Overstreet, Glee Episode Spoilers, News

Gleeks rejoice! Chord Overstreet is in final talks to reprise his role as Sam Evans on a recurring basis. According to Michael Ausiello of TVline.com :

Assuming the deal closes — and I’m told it definitely will — Overstreet will reprise his role as the sweet, sculpted Sam beginning with this season’s eighth episode (tentatively scheduled to air in early December).

It is unclear as of yet how Sam will be re-introduced, but it will be interesting to see if, and indeed how, his return will affect Mercedes’ new relationship with current squeeze, Shane.

Are you excited to see Sam back at McKinley High?

Posted by Mary on Oct-17-2011 under Cast & Crew, Media, Naya Rivera, Videos

Remember when Naya Rivera hosted the GLAAD Awards back in May? While there, she lent her voice to a new PSA for GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which was released today. She is accompanied by other LGBT activists and supporters such as Chaz Bono, the cast of Pretty Little Liars, and Vinny from The Jersey Shore, asking those watching to support LGBT individuals. GLAAD is a national organization that works on portraying LGBT individuals in a positive light in the entertainment industry. You can watch the PSA below.

What are your thoughts on the PSA? What organizations would you want the Glee cast to partake in?

Rory Gets Roughed Up in Episode 4

Seems like Rory’s getting into some trouble upon his entry into McKinley! Damien McGinty’s character will not be welcomed to the halls of McKinley, according to a new photo released by Entertainment Weekly.

The photo shows McGinty’s character being shoved into a locker by the hockey players and judging by his face, he is certainly scared.

In August, McGinty spoke of his character saying that he will play a foreign exchange student that Brittany mistakes as a leprechaun.

What do you think about Rory?  Are you excited for his arc on Glee?

During this year’s “The Biggest Show,” members from the cast of Glee will perform screenplays written by students in the program. The event enables students the opportunity to see their hard work come to life.

Cory Monteith and Harry Shum Jr. revealed through their respective Twitter accounts that they were excited for the event, both tweeting:

Can’t wait to act in plays by 5th graders from @BFalchuk ‘s charity at @youngstory ‘s Biggest Show on 10/15! For tix: http://tinyurl.com/3lrvmsn
