Glee's Reality Show Cancelled!

The ratings of the musical hit series "Glee" is soaring high and doing extension activities could hurt the show. That's why, the Glee Reality Show is now cancelled!!

Fox previously design a plan to create a "Glee reality show" to find new/additional cast members for show's next season but later on they decided to focus to the main show.

According to NYmag, “Glee creator Ryan Murphy wants to keep his focus on producing the main series, and overseeing another brand extension would end up being a distraction that could hurt the show. Fox unveiled the never-titled reality project last January at the same time it confirmed it was renewing Glee for a second season.

Murphy and Fox execs have since quietly agreed to kill the on-air competition after it became clear that working on the reality show would mean less time for planning season two (and the recently announced season three).

Murphy is right, it will just slice up the creative mind and time. The sad thing is, many aspiring teens/singers are frustrated with this news.

Meanwhile, Charice confirmed via her twitter page that she's joining "Glee" next season.

"Glee" received a third season pickup!

Another celebration for the Gleeks!! The top-rated musical comedy "Glee" got a go signal for a third season.

Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly tells EW, “Everything about Glee – from the concept to the characters to the marketing – has been innovative and risky, but with [series creator] Ryan Murphy tapping into the zeitgeist, the risk has paid off with this truly remarkable series. Glee has one of the most active, devoted fan bases I’ve ever seen, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to give Gleeks a third season of their favorite show.”

The first season of the show ends on Tuesday (June 8) and the second season will kick off this fall.

Glee Creator Ryan Murphy Calls for Newsweek Boycott

Kristin Chenoweth is the first one to speak out and now, Glee creator Ryan Murphy urging people to boycott Newsweek until it apologizes for the critical article about gay actors shouldn’t play straight roles.

Ryan Murphy issued an open letter:

“I would like to join my good friend Kristin Chenoweth on her condemnation of a recent Newsweek article written by Mr. Ramin Setoodeh, in which Setoodeh basically says that out gay actors should go back into the closet and never attempt to play straight characters. This article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful. It shocks me because Mr. Setoodeh is himself gay. But what is the most shocking of all is that Newsweek went ahead and published such a blatantly homophobic article in the first place…and has remained silent in the face of ongoing (and justified) criticism. Would the magazine have published an article where the author makes a thesis statement that minority actors should only be allowed and encouraged to play domestics? I think not.

Today, I have asked GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios to stand with me and others and ask for an immediate boycott of Newsweek magazine until an apology is issued to Sean Hayes and other brave out actors who were cruelly singled out in this damaging, needlessly cruel, and mind-blowingly bigoted piece. An apology should also be issued to all gay readers of the magazine…steelworkers, parents, accountants, doctors, etc…proud hardworking Americans who, if this article is to be believed, should only identify themselves as “queeny” people (a word used by Setoodeh in the article) who stand at the back of the bus and embrace an outdated decades old stereotype.
Mr. Setoodeh has recently Twittered that he is a fan of Glee, the show I co-created with Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuk…the show on which Mr. Groff plays the straight love interest to Lea Michele, a casting choice embraced by fans and critics alike which Mr. Setoodeh has taken issue with.

I extend an open invitation to Mr. Setoodeh to come to the writers room of our show, and perhaps pay a set visit. Hopefully then he can see how we take care to do a show about inclusiveness…a show that encourages all viewers no matter what their sexual orientation to go after their hopes and dreams and not be pigeonholed by dated and harmful rhetoric…rhetoric he sadly spews and believes in. Hopefully, some of the love we attempt to spread will rub off on Mr. Setoodeh — a gay man deeply in need of some education — and he not only apologizes to those he has deeply offended but pauses before he picks up his poison pen again to work through the issues of his own self loathing. Give me a call, Ramin…I’d love to hear from you. I’ll even give you a free copy of our Madonna CD, on which we cover “Open Your Heart,” a song you should play in your house and car on repeat.
Ryan“
