Photo Credit: TwitterChris Colfer has added another project to his ever expanding resume! Chris has signed on to partake in Dustin Lawrence Black’s Prop 8 play, aptly titled 8.

The play will be a special one night event at California’s Wilshire Ebell Theatre on March 3rd.  Other actors partaking in this event include George Clooney, Kevin Bacon, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and more. Chris isn’t the only Glee cast member either. Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison have also signed on.

Proposition 8, for those who don’t know, was a ballet proposition in California that wanted to make marriage only valid between one man and one woman. The proposition was heavily discussed in the media when first introduced back in 2008.

The play is scheduled to go on a nationwide tour, sans the celebrity cast members, later this year.

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?

Glee Attendees at Comic-Con 2010

Posted by Tinkers on Jun-24-2010 under Cast & Crew, Events

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!”

The news has just broke out on a deal involving a potential Glee guest star! Be prepared for a spoiler alert!  John Stamos is in negotiations to play Emma Pillsbury’s dentist boyfriend. According to Michael Ausiello from EW.com, they are nearing a deal, so don’t be surprised to see the former Full House star on our beloved show! The irony lies within Emma Pillsbury’s quote:  “They say it takes certainty more than talent to make a star. I mean, look at John Stamos.” Emma said this quote during an Acafellas scene, in which she tried to cheer Will up due to the Glee members wanting to hire Dakota Stanley.

John Stamos is known for his starring role on Full House as Uncle Jessie and also has some Broadway credits under his belt. If the negotiations go through, you can definitely bet on a sing-off for our lovely Emma Pillsbury’s hand!
