‘Glee’s’ Darren Criss Headed To Broadway

Darren Criss is definitely on a roll! Going from YouTube fame to being recently promoted to a full-time cast member on Glee, it was announced today that Criss will make his Broadway debut replacing Daniel Radcliffe as J. Pierrepont Finch in a limited three-week engagement of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying early next year.

“Daniel gives an extraordinary performance eight times a week and we knew finding someone to fill his shoes would be nearly impossible. When we learned of Darren’s dream of performing on Broadway we knew we had found our Finch but presumed his Glee schedule would eliminate any chance to work with him,” said the Broadway show’s director/choreographer Rob Ashford.

“We are ecstatic and grateful to Ryan Murphy and his Glee team at 20th Century Fox TV for helping to make both Darren’s and our dream come true.”

Criss’ limited three-week engagement will run from January 3, 2012 through January 22, 2012. Tickets are on sale now.

Cory Monteith For “Straight But Not Narrow”

Glee’s Cory Monteith is the latest guy from young Hollywood to throw his support behind a great campaign called, “Straight But Not Narrow.” Check out his PSA below!

I love this campaign, because it promotes being decent to one another. At the end of the day, we should all be able to get along and talk about everyday things no matter what your sexual preference is.

Video: Gwyneth Paltrow Performs “Forget You” at Glee! Live!

Holy cow, this is awesome! Gwyneth Paltrow joined the Glee cast last night to perform “Forget You” during their tour stop in East Rutherford, NJ. Check out the video from the show below!

I thought Gwyneth sounded great! I love that she made a guest appearance, since “Forget You” was such a huge hit during season two.

How do y’all think Gwyneth did? And what other Glee guest star or even regular cast member (Matthew Morrison, I’m talking to you!) would you like to see pop up on the Glee! Live! tour before it wraps up in the states?

Video: Matthew Morrison & JC Chasez Perform “This I Promise You” in London

While the rest of the Glee cast is touring the United States, their TV teacher Matthew Morrison has been overseas promoting his new self-titled record.

During last night’s show in London, Morrison was joined onstage by *NSYNC’s JC Chasez to perform “This I Promise You” from the band’s No Strings Attached album.

Check out the video below!

Don’t mind me, I’m just over here all verklempt.

JC could always sing the hell out of that song. He needs another solo album out pronto.  And also, LOL forever at the backing track being *NSYNC’s vocals. I hear you, Chris Kirpatrick!

And for old time’s sake… Continue reading Video: Matthew Morrison & JC Chasez Perform “This I Promise You” in London

Music Video: Katy Perry – “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)”

Katy Perry released her new music video for her latest single, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” which features cameos from Glee’s Darren Criss & Kevin McHale, Rebecca Black, Hanson, Kenny G, plus Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson. Can you spot them all?

This video is hilarious! I love Kathy Beth Terry and her character of friends.

I think Katy Perry picked a great song to kick off summer with; I have no doubts  about “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” becoming a huge hit. It’s a great song, and having a fantastic video can only be a plus!

What do y’all think about the video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” and all the cameos?

Video: Mini Warbler Performs “Teenage Dream”

I came across this video on Twitter earlier today, and it’s basically the cutest thing ever. Check it out!

A certain Glee cast member also saw the video and tweeted his thoughts!

That mini Warbler is all sorts of adorable! (And that guy that plays a Warbler on TV isn’t so bad himself!)
