CRISSCOLFER

Bonus:

Totally agree anon, he does look tired and look, he is not stupid, he knew this would not go over well. This has not been a great week, since the launch of a song where he essentially declared he would no longer be a puppet, we have gotten:

* An outing with his beard

* A reality show, the sole purpose of which is to sell his "friendship" with his manager who has forced him deep into the closet

* A tweet from the ST contradicting his own song and inciting fandom wars

* An event to promote Pride House LA where he is wrapped in his beard's clothing

* at said event, wearing a shirt to promote his bar that he owns with the “wife” 

* Adam and Eve with D/arren selling his body instead of his talent

I pray there is a strategy. Because all of the above makes him look like nothing but a puppet for his team and "bride.”

D says both things. It’s our bar. It her bar not mine. Clearly he is capable of lying to fans. A lie exists. It’s out there, he said it, but people don’t think he’s capable of not being truthful?

Whatever’s driving the lie, whatever the motivation, just know he perfectly capable of lying about anything publicly. I cut D a fair amount of slack, but it doesn’t mean I believe every word that comes from his mouth. Especially when paperwork states otherwise. So I have a healthy skepticism on many things he says.

It’s old. It’s boring. It’s stale. And it’s harmful. You can’t on one hand try to sell a healthier alternative to alcohol (and no I’m not saying he can’t drink) and shortly after post a pic of an overflowing liquor cart in your home. You can’t declare repeatedly how incredibly straight you are and the turn around and say he’s the gayest straightest man ever and continuously have the team post emblems of his heterosexuality such as the hideous gay painting.

Actor Chris Colfer accepts that ‘Glee’ may not have been for everyone, but also insists you can’t deny what he calls “the good it’s brought to the world”.

In a reflective interview, the actor and author discusses the show’s ongoing legacy and the new direction his career has taken.

You are both a Golden Globe-winning actor [for TV series Glee] and a No.1 New York Times bestselling author [for children’s novels]. Do the two roles compete or complement each other?

I’d like to think being a writer helps me be a better actor and vice versa. It’s an interesting duality, though, because I have different fans in each arena. They can get territorial sometimes, which can be hilarious.

I was at a book signing once when a brawl broke out between a group of six-year-old boys and a group of teenage girls. They were on their best behaviour by the time they made it to my table, but I did hear one of the boys say, “He’s not your actor, he’s our author!”

Your fans have been vocal in their support for you and your fellow Glee castmates given recent events [including Glee actor Naya Rivera’s passing and headlines around Lea Michele’s supposed treatment of others on set].

How does it feel to continuously have the love of fans even though the show ended five years ago?

It’s amazing. And thanks to streaming, the Glee fandom has only grown since it ended, which is something I don’t think any of us could have predicted when we wrapped. What I think is most astonishing is the impact Glee has had on LGBTQ youth across the world.

I still get hundreds – sometimes thousands – of letters and messages a week from young people in very oppressive countries who say how I or the show gave them the strength to live authentically or the courage to move some place safe.

I know opinions about Glee are very mixed – trust me, I get it – but I don’t think anyone can deny the good it’s brought into the world. Despite all the tragedies and behind-the-scenes drama, we helped a lot of people. And at the end of the day, that’s why we’re all in this crazy business, isn’t it?

@DarrenCriss… and this is why I love my brother. Happy birthday to one of my best friends in the whole world. @chuckcriss-archive

So here we have it, both D and C wearing the same shirt. The one D bought as gifts for some of the cast on the last D of G/lee.

KMcH also got a shirt he was weary at the Wrap party, but M O’M and IT didn’t 😂.

Nonnie, I do believe the whole thing is ridiculous. In the 17 million years they're been together, they've NEVER gone grocery shopping together, but that's the only acceptable way for them to be seen out and about right now, other than a walk. They did that already.

Abby, we are not afraid of you, nor are we threatened by you. No one here is trying to scare you off the internet because we fear you are right. Most of us are worried about the state of your mental health. 

The reason so many of the fandom on THIS side challenge you is not because of your beliefs. You can believe whatever you want. It is because you use those beliefs to harm others. It is not OK to convert a private delusion or belief about other people and to spread falsehoods on the internet to try to confuse others. 

It is NOT OK to take your private fantasy about two fictional characters and to project and transpose it onto real life actors. It is NOT OK to harass and demean their significant others because you believe in fake news. 

You flatter yourself too much if you think we stalk your blog. Most of us have families, jobs, careers, and lives that are much too busy to concern ourselves with obsessing about you or anyone else. We just choose to take the time on occasion to resist the proliferation of the FAKE NEWS that people like you choose to spread. So don’t flatter yourself. No one fears what you have to say. We just choose to put the truth out there to counteract your continued lies. When we post about you, it is not out of fear, but out of concern that gullible young people will take your lies out of context and believe in the crap you are peddling.

You are like a snake oil salesperson: full of bluster but without any real substance, continually having to make up nonsensical stories and theories to try to peddle your lies. But consider this: while you are confused or anxious or angry by what Darren and Mia do, we wake up every day happy and secure in the knowledge that they love each other. For us, there is no confusion at all. When you take the facts that are presented clearly and succinctly by Darren, Mia, Chris, Will and their teams and friends and look at them objectively, the preponderance of evidence supports any conclusion but yours. Take people at their word. Get over yourself.

Darren Criss, Laurence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell, and Neil Pepe share what makes this production different from previous runs. 

When asked to describe American Buffalo in three words, Oscar winner Sam Rockwell says the David Mamet play is “poignant, hilarious, and…spicy!” Find out what words Darren Criss and Laurence Fishburne chose in the video above.

The third Broadway revival of Mamet’s drama about three petty criminals who try to steal a buffalo nickel begins previews March 24 at the Circle in the Square Theatre.

In their interview, Fishburne explained the character’s dynamic. The Tony winner plays junk shop proprietor Donny, who serves as a father-figure to Bobby, played by Criss. Teach, played by Rockwell, is a longtime pal to Donny. “These are not our best days,” says Fishburne.

In addition to the powerhouse trio, director Neil Pepe says the show is being mounted at an exciting time because it digs deep into the American Dream and the idea of what it means to be a businessman—even if your chosen career is thievery. “Other themes like loyalty, friendship and compassion and how those jive when trying to get a piece of the pie,” the director adds.

“With David Mamet, you immediately assume it’s going to be this rough and tumble, f bomb–ridden thing, but it’s a veneer to a more endearing center,” says Darren Criss. The Emmy winner also said that the world audiences see will likely be unfamiliar—unless they’re hanging out with small-time criminals in junk shows.
