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

Shelly’s Glee Signing Adventure

If you follow me on Twitter (@GleekRob), then you would know that we now have a LA rep for GleeFan.com! I have known Shelly for a while now through our sister site, GleeForum.com, and she is awesome! She lives in the LA area and has had the chance to go to multiple Glee events, including the screening of the second episode and Q&A at Outfest 2009 and the taping of episode 13, “Sectionals”. If you have a Twitter account, make sure to follow her! (@GleekShelly)

Here is her report of her most recent adventure at the Glee soundtrack signing at The Grove in LA. The rest of the report is after the jump. Enjoy! :)

I arrived at The Grove at around 3 pm, and was told to line up down the block from Barnes and Noble and Banana Republic. There was already a massive line down the side of the store and around the corner – the first group in line had gotten there at around 11 am.


Craziness.
