Jane Lynch Weighs in on Newsweek Article
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television,
The aftermath of the infamous Newsweek article is still ongoing, and now Glee’s Jane Lynch has come forward with a statement. Lynch is best-known to Gleeks as wisecracking, no-nonsense Sue Sylvester, New Directions nemesis and Cheerios coach. The actress who plays Sylvester, Jane Lynch, is an openly gay performer, making her one of the targets of the Newsweek article which alleged that homosexual actors are unable to play straight roles.
The article, “Straight Jacket,” was written by Ramin Setoodeh, who has since been invited to the Glee set by show creator Ryan Murphy. “I do think what Kristin [Chenoweth] and Ryan [Murphy] did was so important, and I’m glad that they said it,” Lynch said of her co-workers, both of whom came forward to deliver scathing statements after “Straight Jacket” was published. “I don’t think you have to slap somebody down for making an opinion that you don’t agree with,” Lynch said.

Sean Young Scores a Role in Rehab
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drunk, Meltdowns, Parties, Videos, Oops Videos, Where Are They Now?,
Sean Young, the actress from 1982’s Blade Runner and 1987’s No Way Out, has admitted herself into rehab after embarrassing herself over the weekend. This incident came shortly after an Entertainment Weekly interview in which she declared she was a “comeback waiting to happen.” Uhhh, it looks like she might be waiting a little bit longer now.
During a ceremony for the Directors Guild of America awards, the drunken D-lister made a complete ass of herself and interrupted the proceedings with her obnoxious behavior. According to reports, she spoke rudely in French to Marion Cotillard and chose to sing a few bars while Kristin Chenoweth was performing. All that led to her climactic outburst during Julian Schnabel‘s (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) turn at the podium.
The director - who was a little slow getting started - was disrespectively urged by the lush to ‘get on with it’. After telling Young to “have another cocktail”, he attempted to go forward. Unfortunately, the frustrated Schnabel found it difficult to maintain his composure and later told Sean to go ahead and finish his speech. Upset that he was going to cut his time short, the audience yelled and encouraged him to stay. It was at this time the party crasher was kicked out of the hotel. (For a view of the interrupted speech, check out the video after the jump.)
