Ausiello’s Casting and Guest Star Spoilers!
Michael Ausiello of EW.com’s The Ausiello Files spoke with Ryan Murphy just moments before Glee‘s Golden Globe win! Maybe Murphy had been sipping on the champagne all evening, because he lot a LOT of spoilers slip! Here’s what he had to say about two of the new characters they’re going to cast and which celebs they’d like to have on the show!
* Kurt’s gonna get lucky. “We just announced we’re doing a nationwide search for the season 2 cast, and [a boyfriend for Kurt is] one of the three roles that we’re adding. And we’re going to make them a power couple. We’re not going to do the whole hiding in the shadows thing. We’re going to make them popular, and out and proud and glamorous. Like prom king and king. We’re doing the opposite of what’s been done.” But wait, there’s more: “We’re also casting sort of a Eve Harrington [from All About Eve] to kind of steal Rachel’s thunder a little. So those are two of the three.”
* He’s gonna keep us seeing stars. “We got Olivia [Newton-John],” he recounts. “She’s going to come on and do ‘Physical’ with Jane Lynch. Jennifer Lopez wants to do the show, so I’m going to meet with her. In the past couple of months, a lot of people are coming out saying they love the show and would I meet with them and write something. But I don’t want to stunt-cast too much, because I think the [musical] numbers are already so extravagant. If I do Jennifer, I would want her to be, like, a lunch lady. And [exec producer] Brad Falchuk? s obsessed with having Bruce Springsteen on the show, so I’m sure we’ll go after him at some point.”

JLO is a Huge GLEEK, And if you watch her reply to the Lunch Lady spot. She’s very Happy that Ryan Murphy decieded to Do an entire JLO musical Show in Season 2.
PS Glee Live was GLEEMAZING!!!! in LA last Thursday nite… So Worth it.. One Question I have is “How about A Christmas Cd ” Hmmmm (Even Throw in A haunknaka (sp) song or two. What do ya think????
That is so great about kurt having a boyfriend and them being a power couple! The third new role is John Stamos as Emma’s boyfriend
Now, some people are saying that you have a fake butt! I know that’s not true. This being said, I’m looking for a little diplomacy. I watched the World cup and cheered for Spain. I also cheered for the fireworks in Canada’s recent contest. Can you help me out? I’m not looking to get all warm and friendly with you because I know that you are married! I’m just looking for some backup!
Wasn’t John Stamos’ premier on Full House? Then I think he was on the Funniest Animals show. I hope this is another breakthrough performance for him.
thanks a lot. your website is very good! i likeit was a great story. Stop by the news site if you get a chance. Have a good one.
