Awards season is nearing its end as the Screen Actors Guild Awards was broadcasted from Los Angeles Sunday Night. Although Glee did not win the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series (congrats Modern Family!) there was much to excited about from the red carpet.

The Glee cast looked gorgeous as they walked down the red carpet. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera were ranked one and four, respectively as the “Hottest Stars of the Night” according to the E! Heat Gauge.

Lea lapped the competition with almost twice as many Tweet “votes” than the second place celebrity who just happened to be George Clooney! It wasn’t hard to figure out why she placed first. She looked sultry in her gray Versace dress with a slit that bordered upon her upper thigh. Naya, on the other hand, looked more ethereal in a beaded cream dress by Naeem Khan.

Check out photos of the Glee cast at the SAG Awards, including a candid of Cory Monteith meeting George Clooney!

On the red carpet, Naya gave little hints about the upcoming Brittana storyline. She revealed to Kristin Dos Santos from Watch with Kristin that the episode will contain some “very, very cute moments.” According to Kristin, Naya sported a huge “Cheshire grin while talking about Brittany and Santana in the Valentine’s Day episode.”

Elsewhere on the red carpet, the rest of the cast mingled with other reporters as well. Mark Salling joked with E! News correspondent Ross Mathews on how he manages to play a high schooler:

“I’m 17 years old… 30-17, I think is the terminology”

Check out Mark and Jenna Ushkowitz’s solo interviews, and Chord Overstreet & Amber Riley’s joint interview!

Lastly, do you remember Jane Lynch at the 2012 Golden Globes juggling in the GlamCam 360? Well at this year’s SAG Awards, E! News correspondent Giuliana Rancic challenged Jane to a juggling duel. Both showed their inner circus skills, but Guiliana outlasted Jane. Either way, thats way longer than I can juggle!

Even though Glee didn’t win a SAG award Sunday night, there was so much for us Gleeks to be happy about and enough content to keep us entertained until Tuesday’s Michael Jackson themed episode.

Get the stockings and ugly sweaters ready for Tuesday’s all new Christmas themed episode! To get everyone in the holiday spirit, the Glee Vevo account uploaded two performances from the episode called “Extraordinary Merry Christmas.”

In my opinion, the performances are great and definitely put me in a cheerful mood. I can’t wait for the holidays to arrive!

Here is “All I Want For Christmas Is You” sung by the incredible Amber Riley.

Also, here is “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” which features the entire glee club!

Remember last year when it was announced that Sue Sylvester would be writing a memoir? Well, that’s still not out, but now you can get something better!

Jane Lynch’s own autobiography Happy Accidents was released in hardcover and e-reader formats last Tuesday, September 13 and can be found in stores worldwide. The book chronicles Lynch’s life from her childhood all the way to the set of Glee, with a foreword written by none other than Carol Burnett, who plays her Nazi-hunting mother on the show. An audiobook is also available, with passages read by both Lynch and Burnett.

Are you going to pick up the book for some late night reading, or listen to the sweet, sweet comedy of these two talented ladies? Comment below!

How would you like to see Jane Lynch, known by many Glee fans as the “outspoken” Coach Sue Sylvester, live in person? Next month, Jane will be discussing her new memoir, Happy Accidents, at Club Nokia at L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles.

Here’s some more information from the event page on LiveTalksLA.org:

Sunday, October 2, 2011

An Evening with Jane Lynch

discussing her memoir, Happy Accidents

Club Nokia at L.A. Live
Downtown Los Angeles

Though she’s one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood today, Jane Lynch is anything but an overnight success. At age 50, she didn’t come into her own until the last decade. Before she landed her role in Glee, she’d battled alcoholism and anxiety, learned to embrace her sexuality, and accepted that life is sometimes a series of opportunities that come after what seem, at the time, like disappointments. Funny, poignant and brutally honest, her book Happy Accidents is one part comic-memoir of behind-the-scenes-Hollywood and one part inspirational-narrative about self-acceptance.

“If I could go back in time and talk to my twenty-year-old self, the first thing I would say is: ‘Lose the perm.’ Secondly I would say: ‘Relax. Really. Just relax. Don’t sweat it…Be easy on your sweet self. And don’t drink Miller Lite tall boys in the morning.” — Jane Lynch

As Glee: The Complete Second Season is nearing a release on DVD and Blu-ray, videos of the extras have surfaced. View the hilarious extras we found below:

Glee Season 2 will be released on September 13th and can currently be pre-ordered on Amazon.com for only $34.99.

Stars of Glee have partnered with Vogue to promote the third annual ‘Fashion’s Night Out’, a global fashion event that combines the fashion of top designers with the star power of celebrities with the excitement of reinventing yourself with unique takes on the latest trend. “For the third year in a row, celebrities, designers, and stars will perform and mingle with shoppers as they take part in FNO-exclusive events and snap up special designs.”

FNO will feature designers and brands frequently seen on Glee characters and Glee stars alike, including Anthopologie, Betsey Johnson, J. Crew, and Juicy Couture, among others, during the September 8th event. But before that, Glee stars released a similarly stylish PSA. The PSA, which aired August 23, featured Lea Michele covering David Bowie’s song ‘Fashion’ along with the rest of the cast, in a video designed by Vogue editor Tabitha Simmons.

It was a big night for Glee last night at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, CA as they took home awards for three of their five nominations. Chris Colfer was named Best Supporting Actor in TV and expressed his gratitude in a very memorable acceptance speech by saying, “I think I just dropped my heart between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore so if anyone sees that, please give it back to me,” and by thanking “all the amazing kids who watch our show and the kids that our show celebrate who are constantly told no by the people in their environments, by bullies at school that they can’t be who they are, or have what they want because of who they are… well, screw that, kids!”

While talking to the media after his win, Chris referred to himself as a “Cinderfella” and explained that he was fully expecting Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family to win. In fact, co-star — and his date! — Ashley Fink (who plays Lauren Zizes on Glee) had to push him up out of his seat to go accept his award because he was still in shock.

Jane Lynch secured the title of Best Supporting Actress in TV, joking in her acceptance speech that she was “nothing if not falsely humble,” going on to say she wanted to share the win with the “deranged young man” Ian Brennan, the mastermind writer behind all of Sue Sylvester’s dialogue before thanking her wife Laura and their two children.

For the second year in a row, Glee nabbed the Golden Globe for Best TV Series (Comedy or Musical) and the entire cast made their way to the stage to accept the award:

This past summer, I was fortunate enough to attend several Glee events in the LA area. Here are some brief recaps and photos/videos from my adventures. Enjoy!

May 31st – 4th annual Art4Life benefit show at Club Level 3, Hollywood. Art4Life was founded in 2007 by Gina Starbuck, who created the organization to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society in honor of her father. You can find out more about it here: www.Art4LifeLA.com. This was my second Art4Life event (Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, and Dianna Agron hosted last year’s show), and I’ve always been impressed with not only the amazing performances, but also the amount of talented actors and musicians who donate their time and effort to such a wonderful cause. This year’s hosts were comedian Ryan Hill, actress Francia Raisa (The Secret Life of the American Teenager) and our very own Heather Morris. The trio did a great job of running the show, which included performances by cast members of Wicked, So You Think You Can Dance, and America’s Best Dance Crew. Check out my pictures below:

July 10th – A Conversation with Jane Lynch, hosted by Outfest (the LA Gay and Lesbian Film Festival). For almost two hours, Jane talked to a sold out auditorium about her personal life, her career leading up to Glee, and everything in between. She was, as always, hilarious, charismatic, and engaging. I’ll let the video highlights speak for themselves:

August 4th – Sue Sylvester wax figure launch at Madame Tassauds Hollywood. Jane Lynch, Ian Brennan, and Iqbal Theba were present at the unveiling of Glee’s first ever wax figure. The John Burroughs High School Powerhouse (the real-life inspiration for the show, and the group that was featured on the Glee episode of Oprah) opened the event with a few performances of songs from Glee. They were followed by Ian Brennan, who introduced Jane, and finally by Jane herself, who, like all of us in the press and audience, was seeing the figure for the first time. Here’s a video of Ian’s introduction, the unveiling, and Jane’s reaction:

After posing for photos and doing several interviews with the press, Jane was kind enough to come out and sign autographs and take pictures with the hundreds of fans who had come out to Hollywood to see her.

August 14th – 826LA’s “A Spelling Bee for Cheaters,” Lincoln Middle School, Santa Monica. Dianna Agron and many others were present at this fundraiser for 826LA, an organization dedicated to putting on tutoring and writing programs for children in the LA area. For those of you who are unclear about what exactly the event was, you can read the description and rules here. In addition to being hilariously adorable, Dianna was also the overall top fundraiser. Go Dianna! Here’s a video of her highlights, and some photos I took:

August 21st – Glee Clothing Line Launch at Macy’s, Beverly Center. Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Kevin McHale were there to sign autographs for every Gleek who showed up and spent at least $50 on Glee merchandise. The new clothes look awesome, and it was fun watching the cast interact with their fans. I can say with confidence that they’re some of the nicest, most genuine people in the business. Towards the end of the event, I got a chance to talk to Jenna, and when I told her that I was from GleeFan.com, she gave Rob a shout out and recognized me as “GleekShelly!” That definitely made my day and was a great end to an amazing summer of Glee. :)
