Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Gossip, Video,

Bonnie Franklin is doing a guest stint on Hot in Cleveland, which will reunite the actress with her One Day at a Time daughter Valerie Bertinelli.

Lea Michele Dishes on Britney Spears

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip,

What did TV’s reigning diva have to say about pop princess Britney Spears?

Glee’s Lea Michele shared a few set secrets, along with her personal thoughts on the upcoming Britney-Brittany episode.

“She was so professional,” Michele said of Spears, who will appear in multiple scenes on the second episode of the second season of Glee.

“She was great to work with. It was one of those things where you go to work and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe we’re doing this!’”

Lea Michele also revealed a few tidbits about what fans can hope to see in the episode.

“We are in a scene together,” she admitted. “What we do together, I can’t say, but I will tell you it’s incredibly ironic! I can’t believe Ryan [Murphy] got her to do this.”

Sounds intriguing!

Nationwide Search for New Glee Stars Begins

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Gossip, Renewals,

Three new faces will soon grace one of America’s most talked-about shows - and we’re not talking about American Idol this time. Fox has renewed its hit series Glee for a second season, which shouldn’t be surprising. What is surprising is the news that follows: a nationwide search for three new roles on the series will soon begin.

Time to start practicing those scales, Gleeks. The casting call begins in February, and according to Fox “auditions will be open to amateur individuals as well as professionals between the ages of 16-26.” Those who want to get their shot will be able to audition online. For upcoming announcements on this exciting post-season twist, keep checking the official Glee site.

Of course, Fox wouldn’t have such a process if they weren’t going to get great ratings out of it. Toward the end of the summer, a reality series featuring this Glee casting search will begin to air. Winners will be revealed on the show’s second season opener.

Family Guy Spin-off Gets Second Season

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Renewals, Video,

After only a handful of episodes, FOX is pleased enough with The Cleveland Show to order a complete second season. (Only 13 episodes beyond this year had been previously ordered.)

Honestly, I’ve no idea why. The spin-off lacks a lot of the hilarity Family Guy brings to the table weekly, and I just cannot get over that German bear. Ridiculous is one thing. Outlandish is quite another.
