Glee Gone Wild: The New Issue of Rolling Stone

The cast of Glee goes wild on the latest cover of Rolling Stone – Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, and Matthew Morrison. With its group dance numbers and earnest covers of songs like Journey’s buoyant “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Glee seems like the sunniest show on TV. But darkness lurks just barely below the surface – the series also seamlessly weaves in plots about teen pregnancy, scheming wives and the most hard-hearted cheerleading coach to ever grip a whistle.

Paper Magazine's Beautiful People of 2010

Mark Salling and Dianna Agron are featured in Paper Magazine’s “Beautiful People 2010″ photo spread.

The show-stopping song-and-dance performances on Glee, Fox’s effervescent TV musical about an Ohio high school’s underdog glee club, have made the show a cult hit since it debuted last May. And the show’s characters are just as captivating. Especially the mean ones. “She’s deliciously evil and oscillates between being the mean girl and someone with an ounce of a heart,” Dianna Agron says of her character Quinn Fabray, an amusingly icy cheerleader. “Our writers realize people aren’t just one note.” Characters’ love lives are accordingly complicated. Although Quinn’s quarterback boyfriend, Finn, is a nice boy, she also shares a special bond with the Mohawked, womanizing running back Noah “Puck” Puckerman. Mark Salling, who plays Puck, describes him as “a bad guy inside of a good guy inside of a bad guy.”

According to Agron and Salling, the new episodes, which begin April 13th, will feature little resolution when it comes to their twisted relationship. “I know my character,” Salling says. “He’s not going to stop sexting other girls.” (Actually, it seems some fans want Puck to start sexting other boys: Internet videos dedicated to “Purt,” a combination of Puck and gay character, Kurt, abound.) In real life, Agron is single, despite gossip sites drawing conclusions from a photo of her drinking coffee with Adam Brody (with whom she appears in the upcoming film The Romantics). “Our call time [for the film] was the same that day, so we thought we’d go grab coffee together. An hour later, I had a boyfriend,” she laughs. “It was great.” Salling is less forthcoming about his personal life. “I always say, ‘Puck’s a bad guy, but I’m the worst guy,’” he deadpans. When pushed to elaborate, all he’ll offer is that he is “technically” single. He seems more at ease, however, with the attention he gets online, especially in some bloggers’ breathless descriptions of his chiseled physique. “I’m honored by their kind words, “ Salling laughs, “But my eyes are up here, OK?”

Elle On Set Video

Elle March 2010 Shoot

The cast of Glee – including Dianna, Lea and Cory – will be featured in Elle magazine March 2010.

Interview – February 2010

She’s the most famous knocked-up former cheerleader and celibacy-club president on TV. But Dianna Agron—a.k.a. Quinn Fabray, Glee’s sometimes lovable, occasionally manipulative deposed queen bee—nearly bailed on her audition for the show. “I was so nervous,” Agron admits. With her all-American beauty, Agron certainly looked the part, but the producers wondered if she appeared too innocent. “They told me to come back with straight hair and to dress sexier,” she says. “Later that week, I started work.” As the top-rated Glee wraps its first season, the 23-year-old Agron has already completed several films—including The Romantics, an indie flick starring Anna Paquin, Katie Holmes, and Candice Bergen; and Burlesque, a musical headlined by Cher and Christina Aguilera. Agron also writes screenplays; her first, the story of a 28-year-old man’s relationships with three women, is already in development. While  Agron’s scripts aren’t purely autobiographical, her experiences growing up Eloise-style in a high-end hotel—in her case, a San Francisco Hyatt where her father worked as general manager—provided her with plenty of fodder. “I got to see many walks of life—politicians, athletes, Tony Robbins,” she explains. “It was the ultimate fishbowl.”

Glee Madonna & EW Scoop

Are you sitting down, Gleeks? Well you might want to, because we have some exclusive Glee news that’s positively Madge-ical. EW has learned that Madonna has given Glee the rights to her catalog and that an all-Madonna-music episode is in the works for early next year. The hit series has been building an audience and filling the iTunes charts with its cover songs, and Madonna’s involvement is a testament to how big the show is getting. Also, an amazing Glee cover of a classic Madonna track has the potential to be even bigger than the show’s blockbuster take on “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Quinn totally has to do “Papa Don’t Preach.” And I can completely see Rachel tackling “Material Girl.”

But Madonna might not be the only pop star getting some Glee love. Co-creator Ryan Murphy tells EW that he’s considering approaching American Idol runner up Adam Lambert about appearing on the show (next year, Glee will be paired with Idol on Wednesday nights). Nothing is official yet but Lambert does seem like an ideal choice for Glee.

Which Madonna song do you wanna hear Glee cover, Music Mix-ers? What would you think about Adam Lambert possibly appearing on the show?
