The New Yorker deigns to review the current pop culture phenom known as Glee. Sample quote: “The success of ‘Glee’ depends on the energy and the obvious talent of its young (but way beyond high-school age) performers, and on Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, the acid-tongued, sneaky, and completely loony cheerleading coach[.]“
OLIVIA-NOT-THE-CRUISE-LINE AND JANE’S “PHYSICAL” NUMBER

On April 7, Jane Lynch will be 33% there to cultural touchstone-ing. We can’t wait.
A Lot of Glee
A bunch of Sue Sylvester news, thanks to a very productive evening at PaleyFest 2010. Molly Shannon, Neil Patrick Harris, and sexual blackmail … yes, very exciting.
