No Glee Tour This Summer

Photo Credit: FOX BroadcastingIt’s a sad day, Gleeks. The annual Glee tour will not be happening this year to allow the cast time to relax.  The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the Glee cast will receive a two month break, but a one-night benefit concert is being planned in California.

A spokesperson for Fox told The Hollywood Reporter, “We currently have no plans of touring the cast this summer.”

The one night event will be at the Hollywood Bowl and will raise money for Glee‘s Give a Note Foundation, which raises money for the arts education in middle schools and high schools. The goal is to raise $10 million this year.

The cast’s various projects would most likely interfere with the tour.  Such projects include Chris’ new book as well as new movie. Also, Amber and Naya are gearing up for the release of their new albums.

It should be noted that Ryan Murphy, who usually goes on tour with the cast, is also extremely busy with his three other shows: The Glee Project, American Horror Story, and an upcoming comedy show called The New Normal on NBC.

What’re your thoughts on this announcement? Do you wish the cast were touring?

Glee Filming a Finchel Wedding?

This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to talk with Damian McGinty at the Belvedere (RED) Pre-Grammy Party in Hollywood for our friends at Starry Constellation Magazine. While there, Damian inadvertently revealed an enormous filming secret! When discussing the hectic schedule of Glee, he revealed that he almost did not make it to the event because:

“We just finished filming a wedding”

I repeat, Damian exclusively revealed that they just filmed A WEDDING! Of course we all know that there are two engagements on the show right now: the expected engagement between Will Shuester and Emma Pillsbury and the surprising one between Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry. When asked, if it was Wemma’s or Finchel’s? Damian was tight lipped and said: “You’ll have to wait and see, but what I can say is the bride looked absolutely beautiful.”

Now Damian’s hints don’t give us too much details until you take into account prior Tweets from the cast. Previously, Lea Michele Tweeted:
White Dress Tweet

Chord Overstreet and Jeff GoldblumIn addition, cast members Chord Overstreet and Kevin Mchale both Tweeted pictures with Jeff Goldblum who plays Hiram Berry, one of Rachel’s dads, that same Thursday they filmed the wedding. While we don’t have any context about the wedding, evidence is shaping up to be purely Finchel. Does this mean Rachel Berry will now be Rachel Hudson? For now, we’ll have to wait until the episode airs, but we can all still speculate.

Do you think it’s Finchel’s or Wemma’s. Do you want a Finchel wedding to happen or do you think its too soon? Is it a dream sequence? Sound off below!

Meet Rachel’s Dads

Posted by Jon on Jan-19-2012 under Cast & Crew, Glee Guest Stars

Photo Credit: Aubrey ReubenAfter much debate, theory, and speculation, the faces of Rachel’s two gay dads have been announced.

Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell will play Hiram and LeRoy Berry, starting in the February 14 Valentine’s Day episode “Heart”.

Both veteran actors will put their Broadway skills to the test, since they’re scheduled to sing at least once over the course of their arc.

What do you think about this long-awaited casting decision, Gleeks? Did you have your heart set on someone else? Are you screaming with joy at the thought of these two gracing your television as the Berrys? Share below!

Season 4: Who’s Staying?

Photo Credit: Chris Hatcher

The past few weeks have been a constant whirlwind of news about Glee‘s future: there will be a Season 4; characters are graduating yet also staying on the show; the format will be a completely awesome and novel concept. Now that the winds are dying down and the fate of graduating fan favorites like Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, and Naya Rivera have been confirmed, questions start to be raised. Questions like: what about the rest of the cast?

The truth is, nobody knows yet, not even the cast themselves. When asked at the Fox TCA All-Star party, Mark Salling confided that he has no idea what his future holds.

“It’s just nice to really be able to work with the people I do and have the job I do. I feel blessed. And if they want to have me back, I’d love to.”

Sounds pretty good… after all, who wouldn’t want more Puck? Meanwhile, could there be room for more cast additions? Rumors are floating around that Grant Gustin, currently playing meerkat-faced Sebastian, is being picked up as a series regular for next season. Although Fox cautions that “we are not finalizing season four regulars until May” and Grant himself tweeted caution that series regular status hasn’t been made official yet, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Kurt’s rival next year.

There you have it, Gleeks! What do you think? Can you wait until May to find out who’s staying and who’s leaving? Do you think Sebastian should be added to the ranks of full-time characters? Leave a comment below!

McKinley High Adds a 2nd Glee Club?!

Posted by Genica on Sep-17-2011 under Glee Episode Spoilers, Idina Menzel, Interviews, Lea Michele, News

The target on New Directions’ back keeps getting bigger. They not only have to deal with rival show choirs such as Carmel High’s Vocal Adrenaline, but will also have to compete on home turf against a second McKinley High glee club!

According to an interview with Give Me My Remote, Lea Michele reveals that Shelby Corcoran played by Idina Menzel will be the coach of an unidentified McKinley glee club.

Photo Credit: FoxWhen asked about the storyline of a second glee club, Michele at first acted coy, but after a repetition of the question, Michele revealed:

Oh, yes, Shelby’s creating another glee club. My storyline hasn’t kind of connected to that yet, but I know [for] some of the other characters, it has. My storyline is sort of separate from that.

The last we heard from Ms. Corcoran was in the Glee Season 1 finale, “Journey to Regionals.” In that episode she adopted Beth and declined Rachel’s desperate plea to co-direct New Directions with Mr. Schuester. Then in mid-July, it was revealed that Ms. Corcoran would be coming back as a teacher at McKinley. It only seemed logical that she would take Rachel’s advice and co-direct New Directions.

While the intentions of the second glee club remains unclear (are they a complementary club or competition), the addition does guarantee one thing: DRAMA!

How will Rachel deal with her biological mother leading another glee club at her school? Does anyone from New Directions transfer over? Will this be the home for The Glee Project winners? Sound off below!

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.”
