Lindsay Lohan Late For Her ‘Glee’ Cameo?

‘Some ppl show up late and just throw a wrench in things,’ actress Dot-Marie Jones tweets; her post has since been removed. By Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan Photo: FilmMagic Although Lindsay Lohan has been making strides toward re-entering the acting game and leaving her problem-plagued past behind, she took a minor step backward Wednesday (April 25) when she reportedly arrived late to film her upcoming cameo on “Glee.” According to TMZ , Lohan arrived late on set after she was spotted out on the town in Los Angeles in the wee hours of the morning. Actress Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Beiste, apparently let the cat out of the bag when she tweeted about an unidentified person’s tardiness causing delays in filming. Jones’ tweet has since been deleted, but TMZ snagged a copy of it beforehand. “Gonna be a long day!! Some ppl show up late and just throw a wrench in things,” Jones reportedly tweeted. “Not cool! I’d rather be an hour early (I was) than 5 minutes late!” A source connected to the production assured the gossip site that Lohan’s late arrival did not cause any delays. Apparently, Lohan filmed her big scenes the day before and was on hand Wednesday to shoot reaction scenes. Director Eric Stoltz was quoted saying that Lohan has been “very professional” during her time on set, nailed all her lines and was very polite to the cast and crew. Lohan is said to be playing herself as one of three judges at the national choir competition. Her episode is slated to air sometime in May. After her stint on “Glee,” the former Disney star will tackle the role of Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime TV movie “Liz and Dick,” an opportunity Lohan has called an honor. “I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor,” Lohan said in the statement. “She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well. I am very honored to have been asked to play this role.” Are you excited for Lindsay’s “Glee” cameo? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Lindsay Lohan

Gym Class Heroes Go For Olympic Glory In ‘Fighter’ Video

Band takes MTV News behind the scenes of upcoming clip, which stars Olympic hopeful John Orozco. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Hugh Swingle Gym Class Heroes’ Travie McCoy Photo: MTV News In previous videos, Gym Class Heroes have shown off their “mutant powers,” gone gritty , and even gotten in touch with their inner Lucius Blacks . But in their upcoming clip for “The Fighter,” they’re taking a different tack: They’re getting real. “The video is part documentary-style, part-performance [and] it follows the life of John Orozco, a young, up-and-coming, hopefully gold medalist from the Bronx,” GCH frontman Travie McCoy told MTV News on the set of the video. “Plus, an awesome, energetic performance from us and Ryan Tedder.” Orozco’s story — from a talented Bronx gymnast to training at the U.S. facility in Colorado Springs to perhaps this country’s best chance of snagging a gold at the London Olympics — has already caught the attention of outlets like the New York Times, and GCH are hoping their new video will only add to his profile. And provide a soundtrack to his success too. “Ryan did his thing on the hook, he adds the extra punch,” McCoy said. “And with the Olympics and stuff coming up, I think it’s going to be the anthem for a lot of people to get pumped up to.” Of course, there are other benefits to having one of the most hotly tipped Olympic hopefuls star in your new video. Namely, you can let someone else stand beneath the spotlight, which, thankfully, takes the pressure off the Heroes and their less-than-stellar acting chops. “It’s great doing a video like this because I feel like a lot of other videos we shoot, we end up sticking to somewhat of a script and act,” drummer Matt McGinley laughed. “And I mean, I’m a musician, so it’s great to be doing what comes natural.” Are you looking forward to the Heroes’ upcoming video?
