New Glee Spoilers!

We reported previously that Kristin will be coming back to reprise her role as April Rhodes in Glee! Now, we have some spoilers on what April is up to! Check it out:

How about we deliver the Glee goods the same way we got them? Rapid fire!

* Kristin Chenoweth will be back in a big way. In fact, she’ll be performing an original song called “It’s 10 a.m. and I’m Drunk.”
* Chris Colfer let it slip that he was “happy to be back” with his New Directions cast members. When the crowd freaked out, he realized that he just told everyone that Kurt will be back at McKinley very soon. Instead of backpedaling, he just shrugged and shouted back, “Oh, like you didn’t know!”
* Ryan Murphy is working on the prom episode right now, and he thinks since the Warblers lost Regionals, they “have to” perform at McKinley High’s prom. It would be perfect for Blaine and Kurt’s first dance, right? Also, Ryan hinted that Blaine would be trying out for New Directions in season three.
* Are you aware of this monstrosity on YouTube? Ryan and the cast definitely have “Friday” on their minds, and are kind of obsessed with it. We smell an unfortunate but hilarious cover in the future.
* The last six episodes will revolve around New Directions battling Vocal Adrenaline and making the trip to Nationals. Ryan confirmed that Charice has been shooting scenes for the show.
* Cory Monteith doesn’t control what happens to Finn and Rachel, but he does have some opinions on the matter. He thinks Rachel and Finn are actually “more interesting when they are apart, even when they “clearly love each other.” Cory then ducked his head and said he literally “felt” the hate radiating from the audience after that comment.
* Matthew Morrison is a fan of Will and Emma, too! He thinks they are “star-crossed lovers,” and that they “compliment” and “deserve” each other. “I hope it happens,” he tells the crowd.
* Mark Salling thinks Finn and Rachel are the core couple of the show, but he understands why Rachel would want to experiment with Puck, the bad boy. No news on whether Rachel will steal Puck’s attention away from Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) in the final episodes. As for Mr. Mohawk’s other girl, Mark did admit that Quinn (Dianna Agron) being the mother of his child will always make her special to him.
* The artist that the cast is constantly requesting? Adele. And can I just say that I am so behind this idea?
* If it were up to Naya Rivera, she would put Brittany and Santana together…and then knock Brittany up! Heather Morris thought that would be an awesome spinoff. But back in actually happening town, Ryan said that the last part of the season will focus heavily on Santana and who she is as a person, not just as one half of “Brittana.”
* Ready for the League of Doom? Jane Lynch was really excited to talk about Dustin (Cheyenne Jackson), Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig) and Sandy (Stephen Tobolowsky) coming together to join forces with Sue against the glee club. Apparently, each of them will have their own missions to carry out for Coach Sylvester.
* Brad Falchuck shared his thoughts on Glee fans’ dedication and attention to detail: “We love you guys, but you’re crazy.” In a related note, Ryan Murphy is terrified to come on Twitter.
* Kevin McHale pretty much begged people on Twitter to stop sending him hate tweets regarding his character getting in the way of Brittany and Santana. “I’m not Artie!” he pleaded to the masses.
* A love interest for Mercedes might be right around the corner. They are shooting the Glee reality show right now, and Ryan says he has been keeping his eyes peeled for someone who could keep up with Amber Riley.
* The Glee writers seriously considered doing an episode where the characters sang every line of dialogue.

Kristin Chenoweth Joins Darren Star’s ‘Good Christian Bitches’ Pilot

Mar 25, 2011 • posted by Chelsa | with No Comments | in News

Looks like we have a new project coming up! What do you think?

Broadway vet Kristin Chenoweth has joined the ABC pilot Good Christian Bitches.

The dramedy project, from Sex and the City executive producer Darren Star, follows a woman (Leslie Bibb) who moves back to her Dallas neighborhood after a divorce only to become the center of salacious gossip from the community’s churchgoing wives.

Chenoweth, whose previous TV credits include Glee and Pushing Daisies, will play the role of Darlene in the ABC Studios production. She will join previously cast Jennifer Aspen, Miriam Shor, Marisol Nichols, Annie Potts and Bibb. Christina Applegate, one of pilot season’s most in-demand actresses, passed on the lead role.

Robert Harling (The First Wives Club, Laws of Attraction) will serve as writer and executive producer for the project, with Star and Aaron Kaplan (You Me and Dupree, Knowing) on board to executive produce. Alan Poul (The Big C, Rome, Big Love) has been tapped to direct the pilot.

The Parents Television Council has already slammed the ABC pilot, arguing the decision to pick it up is “not only an affront to women, it blatantly attacks the world’s largest faith.” The historically vocal group also took issue with the title, which will undoubtedly change if the show does land on ABC’s fall schedule: “The ‘b-word’ is toxic and is used to degrade, abuse, harass, bully and humiliate women. And the ‘Christian’ element only adds insult to injury.”

Chenoweth is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.
