Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison are going to work together (in the latter’s 2003 Beetle), and all is well until somebody breaks out into song. Watch the video above to see the two hash it out.

Glee’s Lea Michele Victim of Hit and Run

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Drunk,

Lea MicheleLea Michele, Glee’s reigning diva, was hit by a car on Friday morning.

Michele was driving on Melrose Avenue in LA, on her way home from work, when she was hit by a car driven by “a couple of drunk girls,” according to an unnamed source. The source says that after the collision, the girls “got out of the car, giggled that she [Lea Michele] was famous, and said something like ‘are you drunk, too?’ Then, they drove off.”

The actress called the police after the accident, but she is not injured and “is fine,” according to her rep. In any event, Michele is a trooper. The former Broadway star was famously involved in a car crash while on her way to her Glee audition and “ran into the audition with cuts and glass in my hair.”

And still managed to completely wow everyone in the room when she sang “On My Own” to secure the starring role on the successful show.

Billy Ray Cyrus: Divorce Dropped

Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus“I want to put my family back together,” Billy Ray Cyrus, one-hit wonder and father to Miley Cyrus, will tell The View on Friday. “Things are the best they’ve ever been.” Thanks to the recent progress, Billy Ray will put a halt to his divorce plans and stay in his marriage (which, so far, has lasted 17 years).

“I feel like I got my Miley back, in a way,” he revealed at the Thursday taping. “I feel like we are the daddy and daughter that we were before Hannah Montana happened.” Minus a few years, some questionable photos and a salvia-smoking scandal, of course.

Billy Ray and wife Tish issued a joint statement about their disintegrating marriage in October. In a later interview with GQ, the country singer blamed Hannah Montana for “destroying” his family.

But on The View, he’ll change his tune. “I don’t think Hannah Montana ruined my family,” he backpedaled. “Now fame, fame is a different animal. You’ve got to be careful with that thing.” Or, so he’s heard.

Gilbert Gottfried Fired for Tacky Japan Tweets

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Where Are They Now?,

Gilbert Gottfried and Aflac Duck

Winning! Gilbert Gottfried is currently walking the Charlie Sheen path toward success -- he just got fired from his TV gig. No longer will Gottfried power the grating voice of the Aflac duck, and you’ve got Twitter to thank for it.
 

The comedian went one laugh over the line when he cracked a dozen jokes in a 24-hour period, all of them about the massive catastrophe that occurred in Japan, via Twitter. Some of his ill-timed, tasteless cracks include: “Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them,” and “I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘They’ll be another one floating by any minute now.’”
 

Aflac didn’t think any of it was very funny, apparently. In a statement, the company said, “Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac.” They also promised not to rest on their laurels, adding “Aflac will immediately set plans in motion to conduct a nationwide casting call to find a new voice of the iconic Aflac Duck.”

Gilbert Gottfried could not be reached for comment about the situation. Stay up-to-date on all the celebrity gossip -- follow VIP Breakdown on Twitter.

Insider Spills More American Idol Secrets

American Idol

Justin Buckles, writer of American Idol Exposed, continued his intimate interview with Vote For the Worst, the famous anti-Idol site, this week. Buckles worked for American Idol during season 5, and (like us) became so disgruntled with the victory of Taylor Hicks that he had to walk away.

Okay, so maybe Taylor Hicks was only part of the problem. According to the in-depth interview, Buckles had a lot of personal and professional reasons for washing his hands of television’s number one show.

Buckles had tons of interaction with the contestants during his season. He paints a picture of a very toxic environment with exhausted singers, horrifying stage mothers and over-confident contestants who begin letting the fame go to their heads. But, perhaps there was some reason they were so stressed...

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Rumors,

Casey Abrams performs on American Idol 10Viewers of American Idol’s Thursday results show found that the Top 13 was curiously whittled down to 12 for the entire broadcast -- Casey Abrams is back in the hospital.

The singer nearly missed his shot at Idol stardom on February 24, when he was rushed to the hospital following a rehearsal. At that time, show insiders stated that if Abrams could not pull himself together before his scheduled performance, he would not stay in the competition.

But Abrams didn’t dodge this new bullet. FOX has had almost nothing to offer on Casey’s status, health-wise or show-wise, but we do know he received a blood transfusion during his first hospital stay.

Taylor Swift and Chord Overstreet: New Couple?

Chord Overstreet, Taylor Swift

The blonde Bieber and the young country diva? We love this pairing! Songbird Taylor Swift was spotted at an NHL game recently with Glee’s Chord Overstreet, and together they’re almost too much blonde cuteness to reasonably handle. Just look at the sparks flying between them in the picture!
