Right now, Colfer is working without his leading man, Darren Criss, who is busy succeeding Daniel Radcliffe in Broadway’s How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Ok, ok, I’m blinking on this one. Mostly because all the talk is happening on Tumblr and I still find it hard to follow. How we all missed this, I have no idea, but here it is. There was a clever post on Tumblr that started off this whole discussion here. In both 3.05 and… [Read more…]

Right now, I’m trying to make sense of why the movie has made me angry. Angry enough that, towards the end of the film, not-happy tears were threatening. I’m definitely disappointed. I’ve seen so much of the concert footage on You Tube and it looked fantastic. But I’m reminded a bit of the time I… [Read more…]

This totally has all kinds of spoilers for this episode. I’m going to talk about it all. So yeah, you’ve been warned.

Have Morris, McHale, Salling and Criss reached the level of Fame and Notoriety that warrants their blatant lying to Fans, making exceptions for some Fans and not others? Are they not obligated to interact with Fans on days they are not performing? Are they “above” Autographs and Photos already with only a Tour and one fully completed Season of Glee… [Read more…]

We all know the story. When Chris Colfer auditioned for Glee, the role of Kurt didn’t exist. In fact, in the original script, there is a character called “Rajeesh” who has largely the same lines in the pilot as Kurt. So they swapped one character for another. Of course, we know nothing about Rajeesh, because… [Read more…]

On Glee, we hear and see a lot about the teens’ sexual lives—but not your character, Blaine, and his boyfriend, Kurt. We’ve seen them kiss, but that’s it. Will that side of their relationship develop? I mean, who knows? Something as big as gay teens on television, you gotta take things a step at a… [Read more…]

This isn’t really related to the show so much as some things we’ve seen recently related to two of the actors in Glee. Also, it’s a novel, and nobody is going to read it. But I needed to write it, so here it is. Recently, it was said that a fan forcibly kissed Darren Criss… [Read more…]

Apparently it seems Michele Bachmann and her family are big fans of Glee and of one character in particular, Chris Colfer who plays Kurt, an openly gay teen. Bachmann was at Time Magazine Party earlier this month where she posed for pictures with Darren Criss, another openly gay teen on Glee and sought out Colfer… [Read more…]
