Glee Project Champ Blake Jenner on Bathroom Crying, Parrot Prison and…a Brittana Triangle? – TVLine caught up with Jenner to talk about his lack of overtly compelling backstory, his hot chemistry with fellow contestant Nellie Veitenheimer, and the moment that he wound up sobbing in a backstage bathroom and avoiding the glare of the Glee Project cameras. Oh, and Jenner also has some thoughts that might strike fear (or LOLs) into the hearts of Brittana fans. Read on for the whole enchillada! – Read more at TV Line

    Lyndsey Parker just tweeted that the Kris interview for Yahoo is a 4-part interview each week throughout September with the Part 1 going up 9/4.

    I wonder if there’s a reason for this.  Is it too much to ask that this will be leading up to something, and that it’s not just being done for the heck of it.

    That was fast – Jordin’s already signed to another movie – Alicia K. Exec. Producer and Hudson in pic – no music.

    This is a very nice interview with James about his recent BeAStar appearance at an LA middle school. He is quite articulate and it shows how much he has grown as an interviewee over the last year. This is a far more mature and articulate James than we heard last year at this time. It sounds like he gave an impassioned anti-bullying speech. I do hope it was filmed so that we can hear it. http://bit.ly/N6WReT

    I think Blake will be a good addition to the cast.  I like the idea of someone threatening the Brittany/Santana relationship.  And the dancing part pleases me very much.

    Wow I’m hugely impressed with James’ eloquence in this interview, he has definitely improved greatly as a public speaker in just one year.

    Am not really into Darren Criss but isn’t it strange that he is the one from the Glee cast who eventually went to Milan (Italy) to be a celebrity model for the Versace catwalk… When the Glee cast filmed the song “Fashion” for the fashion night out, the camera was very very often on Darren..

    So apparently the “fashion camera loves Darren and vice versa”…

    Is this song being released as a single? Or did they just do a lyric video for no specific reason?

    All we know at this point is that it will be featured in the new Step Up movie.

    I was wondering the same thing.  Plus Lyndsey said on twitter that the interview would be both serious & fun (whatever that means). We also have the performances.
