Adam Lambert Joining Glee Lea Michele excited
Added by Michael Smith on July 22, 2013.

Only two days before Glee’s Cory Monteith was found dead in a hotel room in Vancouver, Canada; Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy announced on his Twitter account that the American Idol finalist Adam Lambert would be joining the cast. On the same day Lea Michele tweeted of being excited at the news.

Murphy tweeted:



This was made just before Monteith’s death caused major problems for the Fox musical show and its creators and remaining cast members. And of course his girlfriend in the show and real life, Lea Michele.
On the same day that Murphy made his announcement, Lea tweeted:



But Lea’s excitement has obviously taken a nosedive since the death of her co-star and real life love died on July 13. And neither she nor Ryan Murphy have take to their Twitter accounts to talk of the American Idol finalist joining the show.

The news of Lambert’s addition to the Glee cast came just after announcements were made of show regulars who were leaving the popular show. A lot of favourites are leaving before season five comes back on screens in September this year.

The list of departures includes, Heather Morris as Brittany; Mark Salling as Puck; Harry Shum, Jr. as Mike; Dianna Agron as Quinn and Amber Riley as Mercedes. But according to Entertainment Weekly, the actors will be coming back as guest stars in the new season.

New actors have been named as replacement for the familiar faces who’ve left the show. Melissa Benoist, Blake Jenner, Alex Newell, Jacob Artist, Becca Tobin and now, Adam Lambert. Lambert himself has been a fan of the show since its start and he said when he was still on American Idol that he’d love to join the cast.

Unfortunately for the popular American Idol finalist, he will be joining the show while the cast and Lea Michele are having to deal with the sudden and unexpected death one of the show’s core characters Finn Hudson. Cory Monteith’s death will be addressed in the show via Hudson in episode three of season five. Lea Michele may still be excited to see Adam Lambert join the cast of Glee, but with Lambert’s joining being dampened by Cory’s death, she’ll be hard pressed to be too welcoming.

Lambert was a huge crowd favorite on American Idol and him not winning the contest was somewhat controversial. During the show, photographs surfaced of Adam Lambert kissing another man. These photos were seen as being highly controversial. Fox program The O’Reilly Factor displayed the pictures and O’Reilly called them embarrassing. He also said that the photographs would impact the outcome of the competition.

Lambert agreed that the pictures were of him and he went on to say that he felt that he had nothing to hide and that he’d always been very open about his life. The media openly discussed his his sexuality and whether or not the American Idol voters would vote for an openly gay contestant.

Later, when Lambert was interviewed by Rolling Stone and the magazine asked whether he felt that the fact he was gay influenced the final vote, Lambert said, “probably.”

Though the 31 year-old performer has little in the way of acting experience, he may be just what the grief stricken show and fans need to help take their minds off the tragedy of Cory Monteith’s needless and shocking death. Adam Lambert joining Glee has been overshadowed by Monteith’s death and Lea Michele has probably lost some of her excitement. But once the departure of Finn Hudson has been dealt with on the show, Glee should get right back where they were with the fans and the cast.

American Idol season 13: five judges who can save it from cancellation

American Idol season 13: five judges who can save it from cancellation

American Idol is down for the count heading into season 13, with three fourths of its judges having quit the show in the offseason and nearly as many viewers having quit as a hostile season 12 dragged on. The show is now trying to restock its judging roster with the kind of talent coaches who will bring viewers back or at least allow it to keep the audience it has left. Names are flying around left and right, including those of a number of former contestants. Here are five new judges who can save American Idol from cancellation in season 13.

Jennifer Hudson: She’s already all but signed on to be a judge in season thirteen, and she brings likability to Idol that was missing when Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj were taking nonstop pot shots at her. The mainstream knows and likes her. But after finishing seventh on the show ten years ago, will American Idol audiences even remember having seen her competing on the show?

Adam Lambert: When he lost in season eight, a large chunk of the longtime American Idol audience left with him. His fans are fervent, and his addition to the show as a judge would boost ratings. But he’s already splitting his time between his solo career and fronting for Queen, leaving his availability in question.

Kelly Clarkson: The original American Idol winner coming home to take over the show at the height of her pop career would make a great season thirteen storyline, but it’s not clear why she’d want the gig; she doesn’t need it.

Harry Connick Jr: Someone has to play Mr. Nice Guy on the Idol judging panel, and if Keith Urban follow his fellow judges out the door as expected, Connick could fill this role. He’s been popular as a contestant mentor over the last several seasons.

Simon Cowell: If X-Factor ratings tank again this fall, it could face cancellation by year’s end. That would free up Simon Cowell to return to American Idol in season 13, if he wants the gig.
