Jenna, Jayma, and Heather Discuss Season 3 With AfterElton.com

Posted by Mary on Sep-09-2011 under Cast & Crew, Heather Morris, Interviews, Jayma Mays, Jenna Ushkowitz

AfterElton.com has interviewed plenty of actors on Glee since the show’s inception, including Mike O’Malley, Darren Criss and Mark Salling, but they had never interviewed the ladies until now. While at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, writer Michael Jensen caught up with Heather Morris, Jayma Mays, and Jenna Ushkowitz to discuss what would happen in Season 3 with each of their characters.

Heather Morris as Brittany, Jenna Ushkowitz as Tina, and Jayma Mays as Emma

Heather Morris, who plays everyone’s favorite ditzy cheerleader Brittany Pierce, said that “it would be cool if she had a sensitive side with Artie. Get her opinions about things like Artie.”

She also discussed the infamous Fondue for Two skits that appeared in the Rumours episode. Heather said:

“I loved Fondue for Two. So that would be fun to watch. I love doing that. It’s the best time for me to be able to just go off.”

And who would Britney’s dream Fondue For Two guest be?

“Maybe like the school mascot or something. That would be funny.”

After chatting with Heather, Michael stroke up a conversation with Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays Tina Cohen-Chang. While Jenna doesn’t know much about what will happen with her character in Season 3, she did say she has on song in particular she would love to sing, saying:

“Amber and I would love to sing ‘Set Fire to the Rain’ together. We love Adele.”

Finally, Michael spoke to Jayma Mays, who portrays Emma Pillsbury.  When asked what will happen with the OCD-ridden school guidance counselor in Season 3, Jayma said:

“Well she actually admitted that she had an issue with OCD and she was a germaphobe, and she actually sought out help for that and she’s already taking medicine. I’m not an expert on this in any way, but from what research I’ve done, I know sometimes medicine helps people and sometimes it doesn’t. So for me I’m just really interested to see where they decide to take that storyline. And how much that helps her and how that’s going to help her relationship develop with Will. Yeah, that’s all really interesting to me. That’s going to be a good arc for the character.”

We already know that Season 3 will focus more on the characters and their storylines this season, so what are you wanting to see in terms of Brittany, Tina, and Emma’s story?

Glee Cast Partners with Vogue for ‘Fashion’s Night Out’

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.

The ULTIMATE Season 2 Spoiler Round-Up!

Posted by Tinkers on Aug-04-2010 under Cast & Crew, Glee Episode Spoilers, Glee Guest Stars, News

I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!

New Characters:

  • Kurt gets a boyfriend. An “everyday guy.” He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
  • A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
  • Sam Elliot will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
  • Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
  • Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
  • Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
  • Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
  • John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
  • Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
  • Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?

*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.

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!”
