Good Monday morning!  Just a few Jane Lynch items to entertain you as you drink your first of many cups of coffee and prepare for a hard day’s day.

  • One of our bestest fans, Marie, sent us the video of Jane accepting a TV Land “Future Classic” award on behalf of the Glee cast. tipped us off to a video of Jane accepting the TV Land “Future Classic” award on behalf of the Glee cast.  As Jo points out below in the comments, WTF?  The video was up when this first posted; since then, the site’s license to post the video expired.  We’ve listened to Colin Powell enough to know that there always should be a Plan B.  In this case, we have to go old skool.  Plan B: Below is a photo of Jane accepting the award, courtesy iVillage.

Now, here is the audio of the speech, courtesy WRGH radio. That’s Chris Colfer you hear first.  Just pretend the people in the photo are talking.  There you go.

Overall, a pretty snazzy recognition, particularly given the fact that the show only in its first season.  Sort of like giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in his very first term.

  • Entertainment news show On the Red Carpet has this interview with her during a recent screening of Glee in our hometown of Los Angeles.  She also reveals a little something something about the season finale: “In the last episode, there’s a very, very interesting panel of judges, judging Regional’s.  A couple of celebrities, and a couple of local celebrities.”  Sounds great, but honestly, very few things could beat the panel of judges during Sectionals.
  • Now, if this doesn’t brighten up your Monday morning, we don’t know what will: the newly engaged Jane Lynch and Laura Embry were in San Francisco over the weekend to attend the National Center for Lesbian Rights’ 33rd anniversary dinner and gala.  For those just dying to know how the two met – because there indeed are some of you – the two apparently met at last year’s gala.  Aw, this is a million times better than meeting someone at a bar: you know you have something more in common than your choice of gay bars.  More details (OMG this is quickly turning into a tabloid rag – sorry): They were given a surprise cake by the awesome (and frequent Food Network contestant) Elizabeth Falkner over at Citizen Cake (go to there the next time you’re in SF — she really does bake up some fantastic treats).  Pictures from the event are here on Lez Get Real (one of the best website names ever); the woman with the spiky hair is the chef herself.
  • Not strictly Jane Lynch-related, but Billboard has an interesting article about the Glee phenomonen, and the upcoming music tour in particular.  Jane’s not in the article too much, but the business side of the show, from its off-season publicity and marketing to details behind the all-Madonna episode (hint: Madonna first said no) are all discussed.  There also are a lot of spoilers, so don’t say we didn’t warn ye.  The article is here.

That’s it for now!  Happy Monday, everyone!
