While Glee is on a long midseason hiatus, the cast and crew are hard at work with new episodes, set to debut on April 13th. Recently, I spoke to one of the show’s stars, Dianna Agron, who plays the pregnant, former cheerleader Quinn Fabray. Fabray spoke about what’s to come on the show, including the return of Kristin Chenoweth and Joss Whedon directing an upcoming episode.

Question: So last we saw, all the secrets were all out. Can you talk at all about when we pick up what’s going on for you guys?

Dianna Agron: Quinn’s still pregnant and moving toward having that baby, and she is focusing on other things. She’s not down on herself; she’s not focused on feeling sorry for me, myself and I. It’s about moving past it in a healthy and strong way and being present in high school and these newfound friends. You’re really seeing all these characters who we’ve nicely set up who they are in these first thirteen [episodes], and so we get to come back and play. People know who these people are, so let’s show them more and let’s really get into it. And that’s what we’re doing, and it’s so fun. I think everyone will be really, really happy with where things are.

Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!

Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

MICKEY: Forget what they’re going to sing; look at what Sue Sylvester is going to wear! As this video indicates, the Cheerios will tackle “Express Yourself” and Rachel will be wearing a “Team Finn” T-shirt when the show returns in April.

The cast of Glee reunited on set in LA yesterday after a whirlwind few weeks of awards show success at the Golden Globes and the SAGs. Dianna Agron caught up with Corey Monteith, while Mark Salling entertained himself with a miniature dirt bike nearby and Chris Colfer tooled around on his Razor scooter. Kevin McHale buried himself in a good book, and new fashion all-star Lea Michele traded couture for her casual wardrobe. The gang looked happy to be back together, though they’ll soon welcome new members into their fold – Jennifer Lopez is rumored to be making a cameo, while Molly Shannon is confirmed to play a guest-starring role as Jane Lynch’s nemesis.

Simply put, our life sucks without Glee. Which is why, in an effort to help fans keep holding on until the show’s much anticipated April 13 return as we at thetvaddict.com, in lieu of uploading a killer shower rendition of ‘Can’t Help Fight This Feeling,’ which let’s face it nobody needs to see” will be spending the next few Wednesdays sharing interviews with some of your favorite stars from the show. First up, Dianna Agron, who was kind enough to take some time at the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour to talk about what’s in store for Quinn when Glee finally returns in 68 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. But who’s counting?

The TV Addict: When we last saw left Quinn, the identity of her babydaddy’s father was finally out in the open. What can you tell us about what happens when we return?
Dianna Agron: While Quinn is still very much pregnant and moving towards having that baby, she’s not down on herself and not in any way feeling sorry for herself. Quinn’s all about moving past the drama in a healthy and strong way and being present in high school with these new found friends. If the first thirteen episode were all about setting up who these characters were, the rest of the season is about saying, “Let’s just have some fun with this.” I’ve read the first three episodes and they’re so delicious, amazing and I think that everybody will be really really happy where all the characters are headed.
