Late Night Highlights: Liza Minnelli Wants a Role on Glee

Do you know who would really, really like to guest star on Glee ? Broadway legend (and apparently Lady Gaga’s inspiration), Liza Minnelli. At least that is what the icon told Jimmy Fallon last night. Elsewhere, David Letterman mocked Lindsay Lohan, Joel McHale made fun of Craig Ferguson’s newlywed audience members, and Conan O’B rien ate hot wings with Jason Sudeikis before performing a scene from The Social Network .

Clash of the Titans Sequel Will Be Converted to 3-D

Release the crappy? In an interview with Cinematical , director Jonathan Liebesman said that his Clash of the Titans sequel (titled Wrath of the Titans ) would be given the post-conversion 3-D treatment, much like the derided first film. The difference? “I think what you have to remember is the first film was neither shot nor edited with 3D in mind,” said Liebesman. “[T]hey decided to convert it with six or seven weeks to go until release, which is insane; the technology was not there. That’s why we’re conceiving it from the start, from the ground up, in 3D, editing in 3D for 3D.” Sounds like a plan. My designer 3-D glasses are already on order. [ Cinematical ]
