Stephen Moyer appeared on Jimmy Kimmel to promote True Blood and be adorable. Stephen talks about breaking his hand in a fight over Tennis, sex with his wife on True Blood, and imitates a 6 year old asking for his autograph. Stephen does not approve of your children watching the show so shield their innocent eyes.

Deadline reports that Darren Criss is in talks to take over for Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway production of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. If the deal is made, Darren will join the cast in January and miss only one episode of Glee.

The news is brimming with symbolism – the young actor who portrayed Harry Potter in viral online videos to step in for the actor who played the boy wizard on the big screen. I hear that Darren Criss, breakout star of Fox’s hit dramedy Glee, is poised to make his Broadway debut, succeeding Daniel Radcliffe as the lead in the Broadway musical How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. Negotiations between Criss and the musical’s producers, Craig Zadan & Neil Meron and Broadway Across America, are expected to begin shortly after Glee co-creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy and the series’ producing studio 20th Century Fox TV gave Criss their blessing for the stint. (I hear Murphy even encouraged the actor, who made his processional stage debut at age 10, to fulfill his Broadway dream).
If a deal is made, Criss will replace Radcliffe when the Harry Potter star finishes his run in early January to return to movies. Criss will do a 3-week stint in addition to 2 weeks of rehearsals in December, missing a total of an episode and a half of Glee. Additionally, I hear that Criss may make his feature debut opposite Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening in Imogene for American Splendor helmers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini as the Glee producers have agreed to accommodate him for that too the same way they have let other cast members do movies during Glee production, including Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Dianna Agron. This caps a remarkable 8-month rise for Criss from a YouTube celebrity as the star of A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel to a bona fide TV star with Glee and now – a Broadway leading man. How To Succeed has already been doing very well at the boxoffice, grossing over a $1 million every week, with its ticket sales going through the roof since the recent opening of the final Harry Potter movie starring Radcliffe. With his huge following, Criss’ turn could rival that. Criss emerged as the star of this year’s Glee summer tour, with his performances getting huge ovations and screams from female fans. Along with other Glee castmates, Criss is headed to Comic-Con for a panel moderated by my colleague Michael Ausiello this weekend where the upcoming 3D Glee concert movie will be showcased by clips of some of Criss’ performances. As for How to Succeed, the search continues for a permanent replacement of Radcliffe as well as an actor to succeed fellow star John Larroquette.
Thanks to Tumblr and the eagle eye of one of its users, the person leaving tomorrow’s Tenacity episode of The Glee Project has been spoiled. Oxygen apparently accidentally uploaded a sneak peek of the wrong episode which spoils the results.
The person leaving Sunday is not who it was originally thought to be. However, Ryan Murphy stating that this person didn’t deserve to go home now makes a lot more sense.
Alleged results spoiler and picture:
Marissa goes home.
Thanks to the person running the Gleeprojectcast tumblr. I’m pretty shocked about this. Alex was originally spoiled to be going home this week. Things make more sense now because Ryan Murphy stated the person going home tonight could have made the finals and was a mistake to cut.
Marissa had one of the best voices on the show. I thought she’d make the finals for sure. Alex must have been kept for the drama because it certainly isn’t for his voice.
What do you think?
Check out these episode clips previewing this Sunday’s new episode of True Blood; I Hate You, I Love You. Eric receives a visit from his past and Jessica and Hoyt deal with Jason and their strained relationship.
I like who I see. 🙂
