Singing with Glee!

I never was a big fan of the mash-up—mixing various songs that are tied together with a slightly different score—especially when someone actually thought that mixing the legendary rock band Kiss with Popstar diva Kylie Minogue was a good idea. But then Fox came along with the award-winning, smash-hit TV show Glee (Golden Globe® for Best Comedy Series and SAG Award® for Best Ensemble Cast) that perked up our ears and captured our hearts. The storyline centers around high school geeks rising to the top, but not without tangling with the cantankerous Sue Sylvester—played by the wickedly talented, openly gay actor Jane Lynch—who wants to banish the glee club forever.

America may have finally learn her name from the TV show, but she has been starring in some of the most successful Hollywood hits like Julie & Julia and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. I look at it as she is finally getting the recognition she deserves. We (the diehard gay and lesbian contingency) first fell in love with her as the lesbian dog trainer in Best in Show. What is truly remarkable about Ms Lynch is that she has never been in the closet and thus acted in many, many independent gay and lesbian productions including both short and feature films.

Hell, I could go on and on about her, but we have an interview for you! A year or so ago when HOMOPOP was just a wee-babe, we were given the opportunity to interview Jane, but we didn't really have Mike, Robby O... or any of the other boys yet. I couldn't pass up this fabulous opportunity so I convinced the only person available for the day Spock BUCKTON (he even has a t-shirt) from our sister site POPPORN.com (Don't be alarmed people. Yes, they are heterosexuals, but they are funny as hell.) to do the interview for me and well... let's just say I had to pay him in "favors", but that's for another time.
