On the Phone with Harry Shum Jr.

I had an interview with Harry Shum Jr. from Glee. I wrote it up for 8Asians.com. Wanna read it? Well here it is…(at least some of it) Before Harry Shum Jr. was poppin’ and lockin’ on the pop culture phenomenon known as Glee, he was — well — dancing. Before his stint as Mike Chang...

UPDATE: Last Minutes of Glee’s ‘Power of Madonna’ Episode

For those of you who are not patient enough for the full “Power of Madonna” episode to available on Hulu, Fox and iTunes (like myself), Caro (one of my dozens of readers) shared this link with us. I can now rest easier.

DAMN YOU DVR! You Cut-Off the Last 5 Minutes of ‘Glee’!

I rushed home after a screening of The Losers to watch the anticipated “Power of Madonna” episode of Glee. As I was jamming out to classic and contemporary songs by Madge with all the other gays and outcast teens the world over, my heart sank at the final minutes of the episode. The climactic performance...

A Decent ‘Hell-O’ to ‘Glee’

It was great to see everyone back in the rehearsal hall at McKinley High: Rachel, Mercedes, Kurt, Tina, Puck, Finn, Quinn, Brittany, Mike, Santana, Artie, Matt, Emma, Mr. Schuester, Principal Figgins and, of course, the tongue lashing Sue. But why wasn’t I jumping out of my seat and singing along? I think it’s because I...

I Love ‘Glee’, but I am Not a Gleek

The time is upon is – the season premiere of Glee is less than 24 hours away and I thought I could fit one more blog post on to the finer dandy. Some “Gleeks” meet the cast of Glee Even so, I refuse to call myself a “Gleek“. Yes, I am a fan. Yes, I...

What Song Should I Sing for My ‘Glee’ Audition?

You would think that I would be constantly blogging about Glee considering the season premiere is on Tuesday (it runs into Lost – thank the heavens for DVR) – but I think there is enough coverage on the phenomenon. In fact, the coverage and hype may be borderline overkill – but that’s a totally different...

Am I too old to be in New Directions?

A couple of days ago, Mr. Shuester made a huge announcement – they are having a nationwide casting call for Glee: Glee Open Casting Call Video with Matthew MorrisonGlee Auditions | MySpace Video Why is the cap at 26? This is a classic case of ageism. I know some people who are 30 (*ahem*) that...

The Hollywood Foreign Press loves scantily clad blue aliens

I started live blogging about the Golden Globes and then I got lazy. That said, here is a complete list of the winners (thanks Comingsoon.net) and, of course, my two cents about who won. Director James Cameron poses with the award for best motion picture drama for “Avatar” backstage at the 67th Annual Golden Globe...

A Finer Week for Gleeks, ice skating drag queens and heavage

+ No more Glee until April 2010 – but thank God for Hulu (and P.S. Did anyone else get “you go girl!” goosebumps from Amber Riley’s opening number?) + Top Chef finds a winner and it isn’t Kevin. It’s a Voltaggio brother. Which one? I’ll give you a hint: it’s the one that shows no...

A Finer week for Taylor Swift, pop up shops and vegan footwear

+ Taylor Swift dons the cover of T Magazine and she looks kinda trashy – in a good way of course + One of the coolest books of the year just so happens to be from one of my fave websites, Fashematics + Stella McCartney and Morrissey collaborate for a vegan footwear collection. Yea –...

A Finer Week for defying gravity, augmented reality magazines and Asian models

* This week’s episode of Glee offends the disabled… * …but Defying Gravity still happily plays on repeat in my head. * Mad Men had its super-poignant and orgasmically emotional season finale. Now my Sundays are empty and lonely. * Luckily, January Jones will be hosting SNL tomorrow in an attempt to fill that void....
