‘Glee’ Cast In Desperate Hunt For VMA Tickets

‘Can we get some tickets, for God’s sake?’ asks a peeved Mike O’Malley. ‘Or do they only give it to the young kids of ‘Glee’?’ By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Jim Cantiello Matthew Morrison Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images When MTV News announced that the cast of “Glee” would be presenting at this year’s Video Music Awards , fans of the show and castmembers alike seemed to have reason to celebrate. But it turns out not everyone is so “Glee”-ful. Some of their Fox castmates — specifically, those actors whose names aren’t Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley and Jane Lynch — are trying to score VMA tickets before the show kicks off on Sunday in Los Angeles. “Can we get some tickets, for God’s sake? Or do they only give it to the young kids of ‘Glee’?” Mike O’Malley joked to MTV News at the show’s season-two premiere earlier this week. Dot Jones asked us, “Can I go with you?” “I want to go!” Jessalyn Gilsig, who plays Will Schuester’s wife, whined. Well, they may not be able to make it to the awards show, but they can watch it from the comfort of their living rooms and catch the night’s other big presenters. TV talk-show maven and former “American Idol” host Ellen DeGeneres (who will tape an episode of her show at the VMAs), reality-show starlet Kim Kardashian, VMA-nominated Katy Perry, “Star Trek” star Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, the cast of “Jackass” (including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O) and others will present from the Nokia Theatre. But co-star Matthew Morrison , who has a solo album in the works, revealed his a plan to score a place at the next Video Music Awards. “I’m hoping to perform at the VMAs next year!” The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News’ VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday.

Lady Gaga, Beck Featured On Next ‘Glee’ Soundtrack

Glee: The Music, Volume 3 – Showstoppers will be released May 18. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Noel Vasquez/ Getty Images We’re still only in the first season of “Glee” and already the masterminds behind the hit Fox show are planning the next soundtrack. Glee: The Music, Volume 3 – Showstoppers is expected to drop May 18 and it will feature a number of chart-toppers performed by the beloved cast from the show. The soundtrack will also feature songs sung by this season’s guest stars, including Kristin Chenoweth, Olivia Newton-John, Neil Patrick Harris and Idina Menzel, according to Idolator.com . Two versions of the soundtrack are expected to be released. The deluxe edition will include Gaga’s “Poker Face” as performed by Menzel, as well as Beck’s classic “Loser.” Other songs on the soundtrack include the All-American Rejects track “Gives You Hell,” Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and the ’80s classic “Safety Dance,” originally recorded by Men Without Hats. The soundtrack will also cover tunes by the Beatles, Aerosmith and Kiss. At the “Glee” spring premiere party last week, castmember Jessalyn Gilsig teased about the Beck cover. “I have a song coming up, which I’m really excited about,” she said. “It’s really, really fun! … It was a Beck song. Isn’t that cool? It’s like a little departure for the show in a very unexpected location and a very unexpected grouping of cast members.” Fans were able to scoop up the soundtrack to this week’s “Power of Madonna” episode, technically making it the third soundtrack to be released from the show. And with a sequel to the episode in the works , count on the cast to work their magic on some additional classic Madonna tunes. “The entire cast was amazing,” Madonna herself said about the episode. “They’re all so talented. I especially loved Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) and Kurt Hummel’s (Chris Colfer) characters. Ryan Murphy did a great job bringing all these elements together. [Daughter] Lola loved the show too. I wish I went to a high school like that. … If only.” Related Videos It’s The Return Of ‘Glee’! Related Photos ‘Glee’ Returns For 2010 What Other ‘Glee’ Music Videos Do We Want To See?
