It's a sad day for anyone who was hoping to land a spot on the hit Fox TV show Glee. Producers of the U.S. hit have called off their national open audition search for the shows next character.
Fox producers announced in March that they were looking for someone between the ages of 16-26 to appear on the show, stating that the winner would be featured during the second season of the show. The call for talent led to many Gleeks (Glee fans) to upload their video performances to MySpace while singing along to their favorite Glee covered tunes.

Amber Riley, known for her role as Mercedes Jones on the Emmy award winning show Glee was rejected by American Idol producers when auditioning for the popular TV talent show.

Miley, Chill! You’re Not a Big Girl Quite Yet
Posted by joehart as Celebrities at 8:00 PM UTC on Jun, 01 2010
Inside Miley Cyrus, there’s a big girl waiting to get out. But can someone please tell her she’s not a big girl just yet? She’s not even legal for a few more months, yet last year she did a lapdance for producer Adam Shankman a (gay) 44 year-old man, and earlier this year she did a photo shoot in a corset. Now she’s performing for kids in skimpy outfits (a olive-colored one-piece leotard/ bustier/ bathing suit with “nude” leggings and black high-heel “come-eff-me-boots”) and rubbing her hand suggestively along her hip and thigh.
Now, it’s understandable that she doesn’t get the TV show Glee, and can’t “suspend her disbelief,” despite her background, but how does she not get that she’s behaving inappropriately? As far as I can tell, daddy Billy Ray Cyrus has don’t anything mean to his daughter, so she’s not a head case like some of her elder sister celebs.
So what’s going on with all these “dress up” games? And how come she’s saying that she’s not a fan of pop music? Isn’t that what she’s all about? Well apparently not, as her Can’t Be Tamed video, off her upcoming album of the same name, shows. In it, she’s wear a black one-piece, looks kind of like a goth-y Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen. Oh wait, she’s some mythical creature, the Avis Cyrus (?), and she has large black wings. And according to the lyrics, she “goes through guys like money.”
Hmm, yes. Maybe she and Avril Lavigne can compare notes about how tough they are. But at least Avril’s of age. I really find it hard to buy this new pop-punk Miley at the (maybe not so) tender age of 17. Then again, how many other “sweet” little lala land girls went on to be Monster Sluts successful adult entertainers? I’ve lost count.
The final Glee soundtrack (this season)
Posted by Splashpress Media as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 7:40 PM UTC on May, 08 2010
May 18th is the date that you’ll be able to get your hands on the last Glee soundtrack planned for Season 1. Along with Volumes 1 and 2, and the special Power of Madonna soundtrack, Volume 3 marks the fourth disc the freshman show has released, making Glee quite the cash cow for Fox.
Volume 3, entitled Showstoppers, will be released in two flavors: a basic, 14-song disc for $11.99, and a deluxe edition with 6 extra songs, for $14.99. Volume 3 features songs from the final episodes of the season, so one assumes that the performances featured in the show choir’s Regionals competition will be included. Here’s the full track list; songs marked with a * are exclusive to the deluxe edition. Read the rest of this entry »
Britney’s Next On “Glee”
Posted by Kate Alvarez as Britney Spears at 12:00 PM UTC on Apr, 29 2010
You can’t discuss Madonna without mentioning Britney Spears, and vice-versa. After the successful Madonna tribute on Glee, as well as the album compilation The Power of Madonna, fans have taken it upon themselves to decide who they believe should be featured next on Glee.
They bombarded networking sites such as Twitter with the idea of a Britney Spears episode. Why not? Even the show’s creator Ryan Murphy thinks it’s a good idea. According to AHN, they’ve already talked to the popstar about it.
“She certainly would love to do it,” Ryan said. “And I think she’s phenomenally talented. And the kids and the cast certainly have a great connection to her. So maybe, yeah. We’re going to talk about it.”
If Britney says yes, fans will have to wait until this fall or spring next year. Producers want the Britney episode to coincide with the release of her upcoming seventh album.
I would love to see the Glee cast perform “Hit Me Baby One More Time” with Lea Michele doing Britney’s part from the original music video.
Which Britney Spears songs would you love to hear on Glee?

The Power of Glee
Posted by Kate Alvarez as Madonna at 9:00 AM UTC on Apr, 29 2010
In 2009, Madonna granted Glee the rights to her entire catalogue of music, and the producers had a hunch that the Madonna tribute would be one epic episode. They were absolutely right.
In Glee’s April 20th episode, the gang performed Madonna’s greatest hits, such as “Express Yourself” and “Like A Prayer.” They also launched the album compilation, Glee: The Music—The Power of Madonna on the same day.
The album contains the seven songs that the cast performed on the show—“Express Yourself,” “Borderline/Open Your Heart” mash up, “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin,” “4 Minutes,” “What It Feels Like For a Girl,” and “Like A Prayer.” The iTunes edition even features a bonus track, “Burning Up,” which wasn’t part of the show.
It’s only been over a week since The Power of Madonna was released, and the album already hit number one on Billboard 200, beating out other contenders such as Justin Bieber.
Who do you think was the more powerful figure in selling the album—Madonna or Glee?

Glee Rules The Golden Globes!
Posted by Kate Alvarez as Awards & Accolades, Golden Globes, Jane Lynch, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison at 2:01 AM UTC on Jan, 18 2010
No surprise there. Glee took home the award for best musical or comedy television series, beating veteran shows as The Office, 30 Rock, and Entourage at the recent Golden Globe Awards.
Although the hit Fox show bagged the biggest award that night, it didn’t win three other awards that its cast members were nominated for. Leah Michele, who was nominated as best actress in a musical or comedy series lost to Toni Colette from The United States of Tara. Jane Lynch, who was nominated as best supporting actress, lost to Chloe Sevigny of Big Love. Matthew Morrison lost the best actor award to Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock.
“Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press and Miss Barbara Streisand,” said Glee creator Ryan Murphy in his acceptance speech, with the cast celebrating behind him. “We would like to thank all the wonderful people who actually thought a musical would work on primetime television.”
Congratulations, Gleeks!

Protests Over Glee’s “Disabled” Member
Posted by Gina as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 1:07 PM UTC on Nov, 12 2009
Glee has caught the attention of a lot of viewers, and no wonder! It does make you feel good – the musical numbers does wonders for your spirit. Then again, the half-baked plot, the stereotypes, and sometimes pithy lines may turn you off. What turns others off, though, is the fact that the character who is in a wheelchair (Artie) is not really disabled in real life. Robert David Hall from CSI, who wears artificial legs, says that this is not right – that they “robbed” a real disabled person of his shot at the role. Do you agree with him?
