Adam Lambert is joining 'Glee'For fans of Adam Lambert, Ryan Murphy has some news to sing about. The "Glee" co-creator tweeted Wednesday that the "Idol" alum will bring his talents to the Fox comedy this fall. https://twitter.com/MrRPMurphy/status/355135881411170304
Lambert is joining the crew at McKinley High just as the cast is getting shaken up. TVLine reported last month that "Glee" stars Mark Salling, Amber Riley, Heather Morris and Harry Shum, Jr. are going to have reduced roles during the show's upcoming fifth season. Another "Glee" original, Dianna Agron, is expected to only make occasional guest appearances. Meanwhile, New Directions newcomers Melissa Benoist, Jacob Artist, Becca Tobin, Blake Jenner and Alex Newell are getting bumped up to series regulars. It's unclear whether Lambert will be a consistent presence on "Glee" or just a guest star, and Murphy hasn't revealed what role he'll have yet. Lambert, already a fan of "Glee," is ready to get to work. "I'm so excited!" he tweeted to Murphy after the showrunner shared the news. The fifth season of "Glee" returns to Fox on September 19 at 9 p.m.

  About this blog
Our daily cheat-sheet for breaking celebrity news, Hollywood buzz and your pop-culture obsessions.  |
I don't like the show, it's dumb, no real point to it, and any highschools that specialize in the fine arts aren't like this at all, but this is the perfect place for Adam Lambert. He didn't belong on idol because he is more of a broadway type singer, and since in my opinion had somewhat of a career also he never should have been allowed on the show. He got there becaue no one wants to say no when your gay. I still willnot watch the show though, one more season maybe two and glee will fall by the wayside. It may be good singing, but the acting is lame from the commericals that I have seen.
How about giving Adam a chance and see whether he can act as well as sing? I'm looking forward to seeing him and will be watching Glee for the first time in a long time just because he's on it. He brings a lot of excitement and interest (just look at the lively discussion here)! Please wait and see how he does before judging. I think he'll do well.

Actually Ann Marie said....24 is one hot son of a b-tch...that's what she said...yes...you see the women in our family are animals.
His picture looks very familiar
Adam Lambert has an amazing voice. Can't wait to see him on Glee.
HACKING HOE SESSTAH
wait like the left arrow means the opposite of what the blogger really means right?
Adam Lambert is a god, he keeps me believing <3 good for him joinng glee,
I SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY ADAM!
It'll never work. He's not nearly gay enough for the show.
if he is going to be on Glee, i will no longer be watching it. just saying.
They didn't want you watching anyway.....
I agree with you. I've been a faithful fan of Glee. Adam is a disgusting person. I didn't like him on Idol, and I won't like him on Glee. Bad move Ryan.
if I care for the singer why would I watch him bait unless he asked me too...low class.
I was thinking the same thing
another good day
Sounds like Glee's version of cousin Oliver to me...
""Idol" alum will bring his talents"
Which talents would those be?
He's had more sausage than Jimmy Dean.
I s he going to play the creepy guy who lives across the street from the high school?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Adam Lambert but hate, hate, hate, that I will have to watch this insipid little show to watch him 🙁
Don't like him don't care
He should not be around bad singer
Engine room? Increase to maximum d0uche level.
Good News/Bad News. Adam on the show/Alex a regular. ( I just threw up).
Cross dressers in High School not a good image.
He's creepy.
This coming from someone called "Eunice?"...now that's creepy!
Gee eunice you sound creepy and everyone knows Adam is anything but creepy. It seems you may be just another immature little girl who doesn't know when to be quiet.
He sure looks weird
I think Adam Lambert is fantastic! I hope his being on Glee doesn't interfere with the potential of him becoming a judge on American Idol. Maybe I'll actually watch Glee now.
I'm with you!! Love Adam, he's amazing
Adam once said, " they should have hired singers to sing in the movie (Les Miserables), not the actor" to you i say, what is this show thinking by hiring a singer to do an actors job!
Well obviously a big part of his role will be SINGING! Besides the fact that he acted on the stage from the age of 10 up until he auditioned for American Idol. So he's had plenty of acting experience. No worries.
well it's doesn't seem you know anything about Adam career and experience. He's been acting since age 10 first in children's theater and then on to acting and singing in Wicked and Ten Commandments along side Val Kilmer. So take your nonsense somewhere else. Next time do your research.
@Sherry...you sound like a neglected child that now as an adult has to cling to some crush just to get throuh life. Lambert at best is a B rated singer and maybe C rated actor. No one wants to see his kind of odd behavior being idolized in high schools.
He will fit right in.
Mad world.
lets go there...DO IT..THANKS
GREAT
thanks55555
I see you've changed your formerly disgusting screen name (re Sarah's Down Syndrome child) to one a bit more acceptable...and YES, she does have a great sense of humor ! 😉
FATSO IS PART OF THE CLAN TOO
GOT THE PRINT OUT AND EVERYTHING....
Have any of you people, CAPS HACKERS and Blog Trolls, ever figured out just how much of your lives you have WASTED spewing your garbage all over these blogs and the internet?! Truly, truly pathetic. What a waste of life and space you all are.
" Sarah Palin supporters are the very definition of low information voters. They watch Fox, a proven source of misinformation. Studies show Fox watchers think they are well informed but are factually deficient. "
THANKS
Lol, you know what's even sadder? That you feel the need to tell other people they can't express their opinions. That kind of self-righteous ignorance is what is REALLY pathetic.
This show used to be about a group of misfits that didn't fit in. Slowly but surely, more and more pretty kids are being thrown into the mix. Wasn't there already a High School Musical show with gorgeous kids? The main appeal of Glee originally was that they weren't perfect or gorgeous. They were outcasts, and a lot of us outcasts could relate! Shame that the show sold out to vanity...
you clearlyu never watched the show-the cast was always beautiful-the show just ran out of gas-surprised anyone still watches it
She is out of gas...
So wait, what? You are actually giving Lambert a back-handed compliment. You're correct, he IS amazingly beautiful.But more important, he's as beautiful INSIDE as outside and he encourages people of all ages, but especially the youth of today to "just be YOU and love who you are" His messages are always positive and his talent is undeniable.His amazing work on behalf of LGBTQ youth is laudable indeed! Enjoy watching and listening. I know I will!
So much for my first amendment right to freedom of speech. This is what happens when liberals run the country. All of our rights get trampled on.
Better hurry back to your double-wide. Nascar's on and you won't want to miss that.
couldn't agree more. every day, the Lib haters rack up more and more mindless babble... they're happy being controlled and miserable..
When did the GOP became a Glambert??.....why are you here?...don't like it.......exercise your right.....and leave!!.....
Why don't you have a few more beers then go clean your guns.
the above comment was for Sokman.
If only he could act above a high-school theater level. He can sure sing, but boy, he is no actor.
Adam worked professionally in musical theater in the US and abroad for nearly 10 years prior to American Idol. He'll be an exciting addition to Glee.
Adam would probably agree that he isn't a good actor, but you have to start somewhere.
NO STEVE ON THE OTHER END....FAT RAT HACK
Angela...Adam worked sporadically in musical theater in that 10-year stretch, as a chorus member and on a cruise ship. Yes, he was in Ten Commandments, but that part didn't require any acting. And he did get to play Fiyero in an LA production of Wicked, as he was an understudy, but if you watch his performance on YouTube, you can tell that he is a MUCH better singer than actor. That's OK for minor-league theater, but on a major network TV show the bar is a lot higher and if he doesn't measure up, the critics will not be kind. I hope he's ready.

That doesn't mean he can act. Why wasn't he able to make a career there or get anything more than chorus and understudy roles? Except for Joshua in the huge flop Ten Commandments, a role that barely required any acting at all and apparently didn't lead to better stage roles. I've seen him act, he's barely average. He's much better suited to a concert stage. My guess is he'll probably be playing himself as he did on Pretty Little Liars.
Oh for Heaven's sake, lol. Glee IS a singing show, a TV show about High School Glee Clubs, not Shakespearean Theater! As if ANY of the actors are Oscar-worthy ones, Haha! Please get a grip Kate, Lambert HAS acted and what's MORE important, as you've noted, he definitely can sing! Every season Glee makes an album by the current cast and it sells in the Billboard Top 10. It's about the MUSIC. Enjoy, it ain't that deep. 😉
This is great news! It's about time Adam got a break here in the US. Adam is loved by millions all over the world. I'll be watching for sure this season of Glee.
I'm thrilled THE FABULOUS ADAM LAMBERT will be a part of Glee! Because Adam will be on the show, I will start watching it! Adam is the best in the music business! He is multi-talented, charming, and sweet! Everyone will fall in love with Adam!
If anything can save that poor show, it just might be Adam. Good luck!!
Yeah, becuz there's just not enough gay on that show already.
I'm hoping he will play against type 😉
Martin, Chris, Tomas,Svetlana or Nancy, whichever one of the little "Haters Club" group you are, why don't you guys give it a rest already? Here we are more than 4 years after your little group banded together to make sure Lambert was halted at his "15 minutes of fame" and you've failed to stop him. Try expending some positive energy for a change and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the way the Universe responds in kind.
"Sarah Palin supporters are the very definition of low information voters. They watch Fox, a proven source of misinformation. Studies show Fox watchers think they are well informed but are factually deficient."
It's ironic that you would post an off topic comment containing a rant on anyone else being "low information" when you are still living in a "hate Sarah Pailin" world. and not even paying attention to the subject at hand. You should pull your head out of the dark place you store it and join the real world for some fresh air.
Glee is still on the air? Who knew?
I thought this whiny, preachy, liberal tripe went away years ago.
Careful there, I know plenty of liberals who hate this garbage too. So it must be a conservative effort, right?
Here's a good one I saw...
" Watching the GOP establishment try to herd the Tea Partiers is a bit like watching someone attempt to uncrap their pants."
Oh look.....someone who has done nothing with their lives and is desperate for attention. How pathetic. -yawn-
Now more people will know what a talented, crazy, fun person Adam is. Hooray for that!
My gosh what a bunch of bigots and haters on this blog. They hide in their basements spewing hate all over these blogs day and night. Sad they have no life. Makes me glad I'm an Adam fan so I can see the light.
