‘I don’t think anyone gets away from the ‘Glee’ scathing,’ Morrison tells ‘Access Hollywood’ about recent episode’s Lohan ribbing. By James Dinh Matthew Morrison Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images Lindsay Lohan’s trials and tribulations have landed the starlet at the center of sideswipe jokes and as inspiration for future films. While the actress may not be too pleased with the wisecracking and mockery, “Glee” star Matthew Morrison thinks the 24-year-old actress should lighten up a bit. “Access Hollywood” recently caught up with the “Glee” actor, who admitted that his show’s recent Lohan sideswipe is just another instance of the series’ usual humor, which often intertwines pop culture references. “You know, when it comes to ‘Glee,’ I think everyone is fair game,” Morrison told host Maria Menounos. “We poke fun at ourselves all the time. I don’t think anyone really gets away from the ‘Glee’ scathing.” He then added, “Sorry Lindsay.” Just last month, Lohan’s mother, Dina, slammed the aforementioned “Glee” episode, which featured guest star Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, Holly Holliday, poking fun at the troubled star. During the scene, Holliday gives a lecture in which she says, “Lindsey [sic] Lohan is totally crazy, right?” in Spanish. The ridicule continues when Holliday quizzes the class on numbers by asking, “How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?” Dina told Radar Online that her daughter was deeply hurt by the show and Paltrow’s participation in it. “Lindsay is so upset with Gwyneth,” Dina said. “Lindsay was watching it while in [the] Betty Ford [rehab center], then she called me and was upset and said, ‘Why did she have to do that?’ We are the first to make fun of ourselves in our family. And Lindsay has even done ‘SNL’ a few times, but Gwyneth went overboard and it was unnecessary.” While Morrison didn’t express too much sympathy for Lohan, he did gush about Katie Couric’s guest-starring role on the highly anticipated post-Super Bowl episode of “Glee.” When asked about the news anchor’s upcoming appearance, the “Glee” star described working with Couric as “awesome.” He then shared, “We did this impromptu dance together. She showed me this thing called the pretzel,” before demonstrating the maneuver to Menounos. Morrison revealed that Couric plays herself on the episode and makes a visit to McKinley High to interview Sue Sylvester (played by Jane Lynch) as part of a “20 Biggest Losers of the Year” assignment. “I can’t give away too much because there’s so many amazing lines that Jane has in that scene,” he explained. “The last one is the best, but I can’t say it. But yeah, [Couric] played herself. She was so much fun. I love her. She’s such a great energy.” Do you think Lindsay has a right to get upset over the “Glee” jabs? Share your opinion in the comments.
