Glee Takes Cover of Rolling Stone Hostage

Posted by Janice Bryant On March - 31 - 2010

The stars from “Glee” will be making an appearance on “Oprah” and also visit the White House soon. Until then fans can view them on the new cover of the Rolling Stone.

The stars from “television’s hottest show,” according to the Rolling Stone, were wild on the outside cover while being serious on the inside with their candid interviews. Although the cast, particularly Lea Michele, may appear to have been caught off guard, once the questions started to roll they were all fully prepared for providing direct answers.

Lea Michele, who plays Rachel, started the racy conversation off by talking about her tattoos. Then Cory Monteith, who plays Finn, continued the controversy as he talked about his arrests from childhood (yes he’s had multiple arrests). However Finn fans need not fear. Cory explains that the minor episodes haven’t broken him and that he has come to terms. He said thankfully the offenses didn’t hurt anyone. Dianna Argon, who plays Quinn, explains what it’s like joining the Glee cast late.

Chris Colfer who plays Kurt, then brought things to an even more personal level when he talked about playing an openly gay character in relation to himself in real life. He admitted that in order to deliver his performances he channels some of his old personal grudges. He agrees that letting go for most is a good approach, but forgetting and forgiving is not for him. You take your grudges let them fester and then use them, he said.

Even Ryan Murphy, creator of “Glee” as well as “Nip/Tuck” mastermind, joined in. He explained what “Glee” is about. He told Rolling Stone that it was about the joy and great pain that was involved in being different. Ryan will be pleased to know that fans can’t wait for all of the pain and joy to keep coming their way.

According to EW.com, Neil Patrick Harris will be playing Bryan Adam, who is an ex member of the glee club and the arch nemesis of Will Schuester (payed by Matthew Morrison).

Bryan re-enters Will’s life as one of the school’s new board members in a Joss Whedon directed episode. A source has revealed that Neil Patrick Harris will be tapping into Barney Stinson, his womanizing character from “How I Met Your Mother.” The flashback scenes will reveal that it was him getting the solos and girls, not Will.

The rivalry between the two men continues to grow as Bryan plots to have the art funding for the school cut since the glee club is what ruined his life expectations. He feels that the show choir made a ruins of his life, making him think he could really be a star when all he could really do was be able to book Carnival cruises. Now Bryan is out for vengeance, which climaxes with a Morrison and Harris duet. There’s still no word on which song they will sing. However it can be confirmed that there will be lots of adorable to attempt to fit onto the small screen.

On Tuesday at 9 p.m. On April 13, “Glee” will be returning to Fox. The episode will Neil Patrick Harris is scheduled to be aired in May.

The “Glee” cast is headed out on the road.

Those fans who religiously watched each episode, bought all the soundtracks, dreamed of Finn and Puck, and memorized all of the mash-ups are in luck, with the cast preparing for their spring tour.

On Monday, Fox announced that Ryan Murphy, co-creator of “Glee,” will bring the Golden Globe award winning show out to concert stages during the month of May. However, the tour will only be visiting four cities and have seven shows.

The tour will be kicking off in Phoenix at Dodge Theatre on May 18. All the kids are expected to be present.

Mr. Schuster (played by Matthew Morrison) and Sue Sylvester (played by Jane Lynch) fans will be out of luck. They won’t be part of the roster on the tour.

According to Fox, “Sweet Caroline,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “Jump,” “Somebody to Love” and “Don’t Stop Believing” are some of the songs that will be expected to be on the concert’s set list as conceived by Murphy.

In a recent statement, Murphy said, “response from the fans to ‘Glee’ has been very gratifying and immediate. We want to be able to go out so we could thank them in person and live. ‘Glee’ of course lends itself perfectly to a concert. We can’t wait until we are able to take the show out on the road. The actors are very excited to be able to perform in the four cities in front of live audiences.”

“Glee Live! In Concert!” will be playing in Phoenix for one night, and then have two nights runs in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. The tour wraps up at Radio City Music Hall on May 29.
