CHORD OVERSTREET IN ZOOEY MAGAZINE

2012-03-09T15:26:00.001+08:00

Chord Overstreet suits up for the March issue of Zooey Magazine. In the issue, Chord opens up about his roots, being new to acting and music.

“If people ask me [about my background] I’ll tell them,” Chord tells Zooey Magazine. “I’m from Nashville. My family is German, Irish, a little bit of Native American. [We’re] pretty much a mix of many different ethnicities. I came [to Los Angeles] when I was 19. Going from Nashville to LA is like going from a small town in the country where there isn’t much going on, to being [pushed] into the center of everything.”

Chord comes from a musical family. His brother Nash is part of Hot Chelle Rae and his dad is a famous musician. But how has he adjusted to acting? “Acting’s a little new for me. I grew up doing music, but acting is a daily challenge. There’s always room for improvement in both music and acting and that’s why I love both. I like to be challenged.”

Everything about this interview is ironic. An awkward silence fills the space as I sit mere inches away from Chord Overstreet in the narrow stairwell of a stockroom somewhere in the middle of Beverly Hills.

He is wearing sunglasses, but we are indoors. He is dressed to the nines, like a dapper Ken Doll pulled straight from the manufacturing floor, yet the only things separating us from the dumpsters overflowing in the alley are colorless wooden doors and bleach-white plaster walls. I could feel him looking me dead in the eye, possibly wondering how I was going to break the obdurate silence and get beyond those dark glasses in the 15 minutes I’d been allotted to get to know him. His personality is arguably the exact opposite of mine; quirky and interesting as his given name suggests, with his biting, cheeky yet endearing sense of humor and seemingly perpetual sang-froid. He hates olives, and has an aversion to heights that isn’t quite as strong as his distaste for ditzy girls.

Aerosmith is his favorite band of all time. He is at ease enough in his own skin to burst out into song, usually snippets of hip-hop or early ‘90s top 40 hits. He’s got the babe-like good looks and effervescent charm of a true modern “Good Ol’ American Boy”, but there is infinitely more to Overstreet than what superficiality divulges. His taste in music alone is evidence that he has a much older soul than he’s given credit for. “I like Mumford and Sons and John Mayer, [but] I’m a huge fan of the older stuff. Hall & Oates, Creedence Clearwater Revival, James Taylor— it doesn’t really get any better than that.”

OH S++T! NO GLEE SUMMER WORLD TOUR CONCERT!

2012-02-18T11:59:00.001+08:00

There won't be any tour for "Glee" cast during their break this summer. A representative confirms to The Hollywood Reporter they won't continue the summer tour tradition that started two years ago. "We currently have no plans of touring the cast this summer," the rep says.

"Glee" producers are plotting a one-off concert for the cast to raise money for its arts education charity, Glee Give a Note. The gig is planned to take place in fall at the Hollywood Bowl, and they are eying to raise around $10 million for the cause.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! *CRYING*

2012-02-12T15:59:00.001+08:00

Though Glee’s upcoming Valentine's Day episode "Heart" is locked and delivered to Fox as of yesterday (Friday), the producers are considering going back in to pay tribute to the late legend Whitney Houston, as her mega hit "I Will Always Love You" is being featured.

A spokesman for 20th Television, the studio behind Glee, told The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday that the Valentine’s Day-themed episode, titled “Heart,” had been finished and delivered to the network on Friday, with Gleeproducers currently considering going back into the episode to pay tribute to Houston, who died Saturday.

GRANT GUSTIN ON HOW TO SLUSHIE DARREN CRISS!

2012-02-02T13:57:00.001+08:00

You saw what happened in 'Michael' episode which Sebastian slushie Blaine. Poor Blaine! Grant Gustin dished to Huffington Post on the scene and it turns out a whole lotta practice went into that one throw! Owwww!

"I had Slushie practice with a dummy for that one scene," Grant explained of the epic act. "At first, they gave me water to practice the momentum, and then I practiced throwing water in a dummy’s face probably a hundred times before I was allowed to throw a Slushie."

"Darren would have to go through hair and make-up again if I messed up," Grant said. “They were riding me, so I felt a lot of pressure. Thank god I got it in one take. I felt so cool getting to throw that Slushie because that’s what Glee is, you know?”

Grant also told Huffington Post that one New Directions-er in particular can’t keep his eye off of the Warblers – and it just so happens to be the guy on the receiving end of the Slushie.

“Whenever [Darren] sees me in that Warbler uniform, he’s very vocal about how jealous he is,” Grant said. “When we filmed the Warbler number for ‘Michael,’ he was there, stalking us. I think it kind of kills him to see a cool Warbler number happening when he can’t be a part of it.”

WHAT HAPPENED TO CHORD OVERSTREET AND EMMA ROBERTS'S LOVE STORY?

2012-02-01T14:02:00.000+08:00

Chord Overstreet and Emma Roberts love story don't last a year and they took seconds to end the 9 months relationship. The couple went public with their relationship in July last year reportedly has gone separate ways. "They're just on two different paths in life. They just grew apart and decided to part ways," a source told Just Jared. Other source told Us Magazine, "They're both young kids, they had crushes on each other but the relationship ran its course. She isn't and wasn't looking for a serious thing."

What really happened actually? There's really nothing wrong with the relationship except for the distance. "He's so nice and was such a good boyfriend. He was always so sweet." said another insider said of Overstreet. The 22-year-old actor seemed to cope up with it well, looking high in spirit at recent SAG Awards. "Chord seemed just fine at the after-parties. He capped off the night at the exclusive Chateau Marmont with his co-stars," a source said.

BRITTANA KISS IN 'HEART' EPISODE?

2012-01-31T17:20:00.001+08:00

At the SAG awards yesterday, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera said something about the future of Brittana in Glee.

At the beginning of the night on the red carpet Naya Rivera confessed to a reporter: "There are some cute moments between them in the Valentine's episode." But that does not end there as his girlfriend in the series doubled the bet and said something that many fans of the couple were waiting a long time:"There are a lot of kisses Brittany and Santana in the episode". When the reporter asked if she was serious she said yes. However, it is the first time that Heather says something that does not happen then.In a chat with the magazine Seventeen months ago, said Naya kissed well and after that it would be weird to kiss a friend, but there was never evidence of a kiss between them in the show and her statements came to nothing.

NO MORE QUINN FABRAY IN GLEE?

2012-01-29T15:38:00.000+08:00

William Keck of TV Guide reporter who has made some comments on his Twitter account about the Micheal Jackson tribute episode alerted Quinn Fabray fans when he mentioned that she would be the first to discover post-secondary plans, but recently revealed more information about this topic!

Keck posted on his Twitter that: "I'll just say that the episode is a tribute to MJ as a kind of conclusion to the story of Quinn (Dianna Agron) in Glee. She ended up in a good position " , that left all Quinn fans eager to know what's so crucial that it happen.

While the return of Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn) and Chris Colfer (Kurt) has been confirmed, nothing has been said about whether or not insured Dianna contract for the fourth season. And with the new "revolutionary" Glee for next season and several characters who return after graduation, hopefully the storyline about the future of Quinn gives us clues about whether or not she will return next season.

However, Keck, never actually confirmed that Quinn leaves the program, and clarified the following "What I mean is that Quinn finally make peace with itself and leave behind everything that involves McKinley High."

So, we have to wait until Tuesday to know what will happen to her, and whether Dianna Agron signed contract for the fourth season and join the line of argument in which we see Kurt, Rachel and Finn after McKinley left.

GRANT GUSTIN REVEALS IT ALL!

2012-01-28T16:18:00.000+08:00

During an interview with E! Online, Grant Gustin talks about what happen when he enter the 'Glee World'. As excited as he was, it turns out that Grant was not going to be welcomed with open arms by the Glee fan base, not when he was set to potentially break up a fan-favorite couple. "It pissed everybody off," he laughed. "I didn't really know it was going to be this intense, mean character…major douchebag. And all these pictures started coming out of Darren Criss and Chris Colfer with my head shot in the middle, just set up to be the douch-iest!"

Grant described the exact picture we ran with his casting announcement way back when. Ahhh, memories. And what do fans do when they smell a threat? Take the fight to the Internet! "[I got], literally, death threats on Twitter saying, 'if you break up Klaine, I will find you and I will kill you,'" Grant says. "Glee fans are intense in the best way possibly, and I appreciate it more than anything, but there was definitely backlash."

"Sebastian will be back after the Michael Jackson episode," he reveals to E! Online. "He's got a fun little return coming up." And since we've only heard rumblings of a series regular upgrade for him and not any official confirmation, Grant can only say this about next season: "I would love to be around for as long as they'll have me. I'm having the time of my life."

THE GLEE PROJECT SEASON 2 IS BIGGER AND BETTER!

2012-01-21T13:14:00.000+08:00

Entertainment Weekly has exclusive scoop from Glee casting director, Robert Ulrich, and season one winner Damian McGinty on what they'll be looking for in The Glee Project season 2. They also reveal some fun details on what might be changing up in season two!

Damian will return for season 2 as a judge for the NYC auditions. "Honesty is number one for me. If you're not honest, I don't like you," he told the Entertainment Weekly. Robert Ulrich added, "We’re asking people to be themselves so that Ryan Murphy can see them and say, 'Okay, I can write for you.' That’s hard for anybody, but it's particularly hard for 18 and 19 year olds who don’t know who they are. They have to be so defined as themselves, and it’s kind of an interesting concept. It’s what makes this show so unique."

“It isn’t just about the voice by any means," Damian added. "It’s about being accessible, having that certain 'it' factor, and being able to fit into that Glee world."

THE NEW THINGS IN THE GLEE PROJECT SEASON 2 ARE :

New Audition Destinations!
Auditions extended to Nashville this time around, which Ulrich says gave the process “a whole flavor ― that Southern thing ― that we haven’t seen in the audition process before.”

International Contestants!
“We had somebody fly in from Singapore, somebody from France, from London, and South America,” Ulrich shared. What, no one else from Ireland this year?

14 Finalists!
The competition becomes bigger and better with the inclusion of an additional two finalists ― up from 12 ― that will make their way from the initial pack of 80.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FINN'S LIFE??

2012-01-19T14:53:00.000+08:00

We saw what happened in 'Yes/No' episode. Finn proposed Rachael and also found out his father was a drug addict who died of an overdose! OMG! What Cory Monteith think about the current situation happening to Finn??

"I loved it," Cory told TVLine of the opportunity to play up Finn's struggles. "I'm so happy that Ryan [Murphy] wrote me this stuff, because it's been a long time coming with Finn, dealing with the dad stuff and his relationship coming to a head with Rachel. I was thrilled! It doesn't feel forced, it's just a very organic place in the series for this to happen."

How about the proposal and Rachel's answers?? "She provides her answer -- in true Glee form -- in song. We pick up where we left off tonight in the following episode," said Cory. Cory also tells Rachel's proposal answer! "It is a definite answer. But, you know how kids are. I don't think it's going to be as simple as they think. I suspect there's more down the road. Her answer is shocking, I can tell you that."

How about Finn's felling after he know the truth about his father death? "It was pretty true to form as far as Finn's indecisiveness and not knowing where he wants to take his life. It was kind of cool that at the same time he was considering enlisting, he found out these heavy truths about his father, and I hope that is carried forward. There's still a lot more to explore as far as that is concerned for him. It's the beginning of Finn unraveling that stuff in his past, and I don't think it's the end," said Cory.

Ladies! Here's some fashion tips from Dianna. In her recent blog post in her website, You Me & Charlie Dianna detailed her fashion must-haves. Lets read what Dianna wrote about her fashion items.

An LBD
"YES, I am going here. You need a LBD. You know, a little black dress. It may sound cliched to start off here, but let's face it. Classic."

A Bold Scarf
"I am all about a great scarf. Vintage, new, I don’t care, as long as it packs a punch. You know, a great print, a pop of color? It will dress up a LBD or a White T and jeans, and that's just the tip of the iceberg."

A "Statement Piece"
"Statement pieces done right are fun, great additions and say a lot about your personality. They tell us that you’re fun, and not limited to 'safe'." Dianna is currently lusting over a pair of Miu Miu's quirky little kitty heels.

A Power Coat
"Find a power coat or jacket. Anything that makes you feel confident, empowered. I have realized that nothing turns me on more than seeing a great outer layer on a passerby, and nothing makes me feel more secure and happy with my own outfit."

A Great Pair of Jeans
"Jeans. Black, blue, white, trousers, skinny, tapered, peg-legged, you name it, I don't care what they are…find the pair you LOVE."

DARREN CRISS IS SEXY AND YOU KNOW IT!

2012-01-12T18:24:00.000+08:00

In the new issue of DETAILS magazine, Darren Criss talks about his rise to the top, his adoring fans, and how he’s been able to balance Glee life with his latest gig on Broadway. “Glee is an interesting game. They’ll say, ‘You’re not shooting tomorrow. But you have to record two songs and you have dance rehearsal and you might have a fitting.’ When I wasn’t doing all of that, I tried to have dance rehearsals for How to Succeed,” said Darren.

Darren's new Broadway show, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is such a massive hit and his fan is like crazy for Darren! Darren said, “What’s funny is that the moms always feel like they have to qualify everything. ‘I’m here for my daughter. Can I get a picture?’ You don’t have to apologize for liking Glee. My joke is, the fans are either 16 or 60. What I wouldn't give to have someone come back who wasn’t a mom or a teenager.”

Check this out! Darren was introduced to Mariah Carey by.. by Whitney Houston! "She’s like, ‘Hey, baby, this is Mariah.’ I’m like, ‘I know. I’m Darren. I don’t know what I’m doing here,'" said Darren.

2012-01-09T13:48:00.000+08:00

What will happen to the cast of GLEE? Nah! The real question is.. What will happen to Rachel, Finn and Kurt?? We got the answers!! Few months ago, GLEE creator, Ryan Murphy had stated that he was looking into a spinoff for the trio, but according to TV Line, Fox Entertainment's president Kevin Reilly now says that, "There will not be a Glee spin off, but those characters will graduate." "It’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season," added Kevin.

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith would be back for a fourth season, but Chris Colfer might not return. He said, "What I said before is creatively, we’d want everybody back. I’ve got to look at the contractual situation for all of those. And we will."

What will happen in GLEE 4?? "Here’s whats going on with Glee," Kevin Reilly told the press at the Television Critics Association winter tour on Sunday. "We are graduating the characters that are [due] to graduate, and what’s come out of it is [series boss] Ryan [Murphy] and the guys have come up with a really cool idea," added Kevin. "There will not be a Glee spin off," Reilly continued, "but those characters will graduate and it’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season."

What really happen to Chris Colfer??? "What I said before is creatively, we’d want everybody back," Kevin clarified. "I've got to look at the contractual situation for all of those. And we will." When reminded that the original Glee cast initially signed long-term contracts, Reilly said, "Yeah, I don’t want to, again, get into details. I’m just trying to whet your appetite. But I think it’s going to be a good thing for the show. … It’s cool. It’s different."

We think GLEE will lose some of it's fan when GLEE season 4 return this fall. We hope not!
