Meet Tonight’s Very Special GLEE Guest Star!
The TV Addict on the set of GLEE with TVGuide’s Natalie Abrams
Lost amidst the deafening buzz surrounding Emmy-winner Kristin Chenoweth’s guest spot on tonight’s brand new episode of GLEE comes the debut of Hollywood’s next big thing: Your very own TV Addict.
No, seriously.
Way back in April, I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to play what some (read: my mother) might call a pivotal role — Audience Member #24 — on the FOX hit.
Arriving promptly at noon, my day started off with a trip to my very own trailer. Or so I thought.
Looking around at my so-called accommodations, I was shocked to discover that not only was there no satellite TV or blu-ray player, this wasn’t actually my trailer! Rather, it belonged to my “co-star”, Jane Lynch, who not only assumed I was there to do some sort of publicity designed to advance her career, but had the nerve to inform me that “extras” don’t get their own trailers.
Extras? WTF?!?!

Good News: Last week’s ratings surprises, MODERN FAMILY and COUGAR TOWN return tonight to ABC with brand new episodes. Bad News: The unstoppable ratings juggernaut (and lead-in) that is DANCING WITH THE STARS does not.
Good News: CBS is spinning off one of their most popular shows. Bad News: Signing a deal with executive producer/showrunner Ed Bernero and executive producer Chris Mundy for a CRIMINAL MINDS spin-off.

Exclusive Interview: MELROSE PLACE Star Stephanie Jacobsen
After facing down killer robots from the future in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: RAZOR and the wrong end of a loaded weapon in TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, actress Stephanie Jacobsen could use a break. Unfortunately, she won’t be getting one anytime soon and can currently be seen in the CW’s MELROSE PLACE reboot playing med student by-day/call-girl by night Lauren Yang. Is Jacobsen aware just what she’s signed on to and was she a fan of the original series? All these questions, plus one or two lingering TERMINATOR-related ones can be found after the jump.
