Ever wish you had a minute with Sue Sylvester to tell her exactly how you feel about her outbursts, one-lines and track suits? Now you have the chance! Madame Tussauds Hollywood is GLEEking out over their newest figure, the character we all love to hate, Sue Sylvester!

On August 4, 2010 at 11am, Jane Lynch will be launching her infamous character on the Madame Tussauds Hollywood courtyard! With a performance by the John Burroughs High School Power House Choir (as seen on Oprah) and other surprises, you won’t want to miss out on the GLEE!

When I was in NYC to see the Glee concert, my family went to the Madame Tussauds there, and it was a ton of fun! For more information on how Jane Lynch will be unveiling the figure (and for some fun pictures of her being measured), check out Madame Tussauds Hollywood – “Glee Star Jane Lynch Gets Waxed”.

A new article from E! Online has surfaced all about the character twitters from Glee and other shows! I’ve always wondered who posts those HILARIOUS @S_SylvesterGLEE gems. Turns out there is an entire industry devoted to providing authentic updates from the voices of TV characters. Dream job? Check!

The show The Office has a few characters with Twitter accounts. So does Glee and Heroes. Is it the actors doing those updates in character?

As much as I would love to believe that a robot from Caprica is available to answer all my questions about The Future in an alternate universe, no. There’s a real person behind Serge—someone who, I am scandalized to report, has never lived on Caprica and who has, probably, never met the Graystones, much less an Adama.

So might that person even possibly be Eric Stoltz? Well…

…probably not.

There’s an actual industry out there devoted, in large part, to blogging, MySpacing, Facebooking and tweeting in the voice of your favorite TV characters. (Heroes‘ Hiro Nakamura is over on the Yamagato Fellowship page, updating us on his trips back in time.)

The practice usually falls under the marketing campaign for a TV show or movie. To get that ball rolling, the movie studio or production house usually hires an outside company specializing in social media marketing. That company, in turn, may hire freelance writers, or use its own in-house people to channel the character in question.

Some characters’ tweets are quite responsive, but other updates can take weeks or even months of planning and approval from several parties, including the social media marketing company, the network and the individual show or movie producers.

In other words, it might be more complicated than you think to write like Rachel from Glee. It also may explain why Rachel from Glee has had relatively few Twitter updates.

So does it pay to tweet like an imaginary person?

Perhaps. Writers may charge a day rate of a few hundred bucks, we’re told by sources familiar with these sorts of deals, or get a couple hundred per post, depending on the gig.

No word on the going rate for Twitter updates on Caprica.
