Glee – Stars On Their 3D Movie And Season Three!

TrendPK.com: Can’t wait until the new season of Glee starts? You can see the Gleeks at the movies this summer in Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. 3D cameras filmed a performance of the cast’s world tour, and this weekend the movie version opens in theaters. The entire cast of Glee shared their thoughts on the concert performance and the upcoming third season of the show.

There may be more music on the Glee 3D dvd!

Lea Michele: “There was a lot of different versions of the concert. Sometimes we do songs and some nights we maybe weren’t feeling particularly well so we’d take one song and put another song in. It’s constantly changing.”

Mark Salling: “As long as my version of ‘I’m a Little Teapot’ got in there.”

The actors had to stay in character on stage:

Lea Michele: “We got to shoot these really fun little backstage things with Ryan Murphy where he was interviewing us in character. I guess some of us on stage, if they wanted to really embody their characters, they did. I feel like I did a nice blend of Rachel and of Lea while I was on stage performing, but we are in our characters. At the same time, when we walk on stage, we’re ourselves.”

Darren Criss: “It was hard. I definitely blew it a couple times, up in San Francisco making shout outs to my parents. Blaine’s probably never even been to San Francisco. When we were in Ohio we should’ve been really excited but I couldn’t tell you what city Dalton is in.”

Chris Colfer: “I had to be in character. You have to just leave yourself at the door sometimes because there was no way I could do ‘Single Ladies’ every night. Leave yourself behind. Kurt takes over.”

On stage, all your favorite Glee songs are bigger!

Kevin McHale: “It was more so that we had so much space to work with, because normally we don’t get that much space and you have to more let loose. It wasn’t a concern for us to cover it because there’s a lot of us so it was easy to cover the whole thing. It was nice to be able to actually do dance and have a lot of room to do the moves.”

Dianna Agron: “Although every now and then there would be an explosion. A rogue explosion and you’d be like, ‘Oh, that was really close!’ Lea saved me once. There was a slightly smaller stage and the fireworks I guess we could maybe call them, the drizzling rain fire came down a little closer, almost on top of us. Lea’s like, ‘Get over here, you’re about to die!’ Not really, but you know. It was kind of serious.

Cory Monteith: “The possibility of being set on fire when you’re on stage just makes the performance that much more alive.”

Heather Morris: “We did it last year. We did the tour last year, so I think a lot of people that weren’t prepared then, they got to have a feel for it, if they hadn’t done a live stage show like that with an audience, they got really mentally prepared for it this time and this time it was really easy.”

Highlights of the Glee concert:

Harry Shum Jr.: “I have one. During New York, all the boys go down and everyone waves. Literally seeing this with the thousands of people is one of the coolest things ever.

Dianna Agron: ublin, the last show. A kid’s house. Every moment you could find to do something a little bit different, a little crazy, involving huge beach balls, at one point water guns, shirtless boys, Warbler ties, things being thrown out of the audience.”

Heather Morris: “Wearing a green suit all the way over the stage in my ‘Slave’ shorts.”

Season three is not as controversial as it sounds:

Lea Michele: “I know that they’re really doing a back-to-basics season, really focusing on it being very similar to a Glee season 1. That’s so exciting. The first script was amazing. I absolutely love it, a lot of songs that have not been on the charts for a while, but were hits in the past, and I love doing stuff like that, I think that that’s so cool. It’s some of our senior year, so we want to make it great, and see what it’s like to be a senior in high school.”

Naya Rivera: “Nothing’s even been established or confirmed, so we’re just focused on this season and I think that’s our attitude right now. We’re really excited to get back to work. It’s like going back to school. We’re really excited about this season. As far as what I would like to see in my character, I don’t know. I’d like to see her be pretty mean, like real mean and maybe get a girlfriend.”

Heather Morris: “I’d like to see her have a girlfriend for sure. Like a hot girl.”

Jenna Ushkowitz: “You kind of stay away from the rumors. You wait for your creators to tell you directly what’s happening, and we kind of ignore the gossip because that’s not what this show’s about. It’s about the work, and as actors, that’s what we look forward to, is what’s going to happen. Nothing is set in stone until you open that script, and even after that things get cut.”

Amber Riley: “I think that the great thing is that this movie is going to put a lot of things in perspective for people, and they’ll get back to what the show is really about. It’s not about gossip, it’s not about drama, it’s about these kids that are connected to each and every one of these characters, and our characters literally have grown up with them, and we are helping them through adolescence, helping them through high school, helping them through junior high, so I’m hoping that that’s what this movie is going to do.”

For mature viewers, Glee goes there. For younger kids, they don’t get it.

Cory Monteith: “I think that the show explores a lot of mature content. I think it pushes a lot of boundaries. Maybe it’s crossed the line a few times, but what’s really important about the show is that it brings these topics of conversation up for discussion and into peoples’ awareness and challenges ideas, maybe conservative ideas about how people live. So I think it’s a responsibility in a way.”

Dianna Agron: “But also too I think that I didn’t know that Rizzo was pregnant in Grease. I didn’t understand any of that. So think that hopefully some of our younger audience members, I think a lots going over their heads. I know it would have gone over my head, for sure.”

Elizabeth Taylor, Movie Legend Dies at 79

Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor passed away on Wednesday at the age of 79. Taylor had been hospitalized in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the last six weeks where she died of congestive heart failure. Her publicist Sally Morrison stated that.

“All her children were with her.”

She was a larger than life character both on and off camera. Taylor, famous for her beauty and grace, won three Oscars during her long career. Although her personal life was also the source of tabloid fascination, her real life was plagued with heartbreak and personal tragedy.

Elizabeth Taylor was born in London and starred in over 50 movies, she began her movie career as a child, she was already a star by the age of twelve. Taylor married an astonishing eight times, twice to Richard Burton who she starred with in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966), this was one of her Oscar winning roles.

HBO’s “Treme” snubbed for NAACP Award

TrendPK.com: It was surprising enough that “Treme” earned only one NAACP Image award nomination—but, not as surprising as its loss to “Gray’s Anatomy”. The Outstanding Drama Series nod was “Treme’s” only hope for its cast and crew to be recognized at the awards. Yet, “Gray’s Anatomy” (which holds no thematic focus on the minority community, nor a wealth of minority actors) walked away with this year’s honors.

It wasn’t for a dearth of talent–current star Khandi Alexander has been nominated for six NAACP Image Awards over the years, with a 2005 win for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for CSI: Miami. Wendell Pierce has also been an NAACP Image Award nominee for his work on “The Wire” and a winner for his work on “Life Support”. Also starring in “Treme” are Academy Award winner Melissa Leo, and Emmy and Golden Globe winner John Goodman.

The stated goal of the NAACP Image Awards is to honor “the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts…as well as those individuals or groups who promote social justice through their creative endeavors”. The HBO series follows the lives of an interconnected group of New Orleans residents as they reconstruct their lives after Hurricane Katrina, many of whom are African-American. “Treme” actors and the series itself were also overlooked at the Emmys, though certain episodes were nominated for direction and original music and lyrics.

Will Ferrell Joins ‘The Office’ Cast

Will Ferrell has committed to a guest spot on The Office. The NBC made the announcement on Wednesday and it’s generally believed that the move is to help smooth the departure of Carrell, who had announced a few months back that this would be his last season. Steve Carrell has starred in ‘The Office’ for seven seasons, but now Carrell wants to focus on his movie career. Don’t hold your breath though, unfortunately Will Ferrell won’t be Carrels replacement.

Not too much has been revealed about Ferrell’s character although it has been widely reported that he will be playing a branch manager who comes from the home office and who is just as inept and inappropriate as Michael Scott (Carrell).

“We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star, and we turned him into a television star,” said the show’s executive producer Paul Lieberstein. “We are proud to continue The Office’s tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see: tremendous raw sexuality.”

It is also being said that Ferrell contacted NBC producers himself to offer his skills to help with Carrells farewell from ‘The Office’. Carrell and Farrell have worked together before on the movie ‘Anchorman’. It should be lots of fun to see them work together again. Now the next question is how will they actually write Carrell’s character from the show and how will Ferrell’s character play into his likely demise.

Charlie Sheen thinks he is just fine, having a “great time”

TrendPK.com: Charlie Sheen doesn’t seem to agree with the rest of the world when it comes to how he is living his life.

Sheen has reportedly opened up about what happened and pretty much brushed off the drama, states RadarOnline.com. “People don’t seem to get it…. Guy can’t have a great time and do his job also?” Sheen reportedly texted to an editor with RadarOnline.com.

However, the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star has checked into rehab. This part of the text message implies that he doesn’t think he should have done so and maybe his father, Martin Sheen, and CBS kind of nudged him toward the idea.

“Conviction” director Tony Goldwyn on streaming awards screeners

TrendPK.com: It ‘s big story in last weekend’s L.A. Times. Fox Searchlight struck a deal to stream three of its awards contenders – “Conviction,” “127 Hours” and “Black Swan” – to iTunes so certain guild members could download and watch screeners on portable devices like an iPhone or iPad.

It sounds groundbreaking, a potential money-saving system for studios who must spend to burn awards screeners for awards voters who might prefer to watch movies on the go.

Piracy will be one issue that determines if this is an experiment or a first step into the way things are going to be. If these streams are somehow hacked and reposted to file-sharing forums, the studios will lock up their product once again and re-evaluate.

But one person with direct ties to one of the films being made available spoke out to EW and threw his support behind the decision.

“Last week I got the call that they were making this deal, I was very excited, because the film will have the opportunity to reach so many more people than it possibly could in the movie theater, or even by sending out screeners,” said Tony Goldwyn, director of “Conviction.”

But what watching his film on a much smaller screen?

“How I feel about it is, we’re the storytellers and that’s my job. How people want to consume that story is up to the consumer. Obviously, I’d rather someone see my film on the big screen, but more than that I’d rather they see my film, period. I don’t personally like watching movies on my iPhone, but if someone else does, more power to them. And to be resistant of it, to me, is to be stuck in the past.”
