It looks like the cast of Glee will have a longer vacation than they had planned when the show goes on hiatus this summer...
For the last two summers, cast members from Fox's music dramedy Glee have gone on tour across the country, but plans for another tour have been scrapped. All is not lost though as producers of the show are working on putting together a big concert at the Hollywood Bowl this fall, where they hope to raise $10 million for the show's arts education charity 'Give a Note.'
Could it be that there is trouble brewing for the series? Fox has not yet renewed the show for a fourth season and let's face it -- the ratings have been less than stellar this season. I think some would agree that the show has suffered creatively this season while series creator Ryan Murphy divided his time between Glee and his latest hit series American Horror Story.
Is there a chance Glee will be canceled? I think Fox will likely give the show another season, especially since House is not coming back next season and Fringe and Terra Nova are holding on by a thread. The last thing the network wants to do is completely overhaul their schedule this fall.

Matthew Perry's days as Chandler Bing may be long gone, but the talented actor is adding another memorable role to his impressive resume...
CBS has announced that the former Friends star has been cast in a recurring role on their hit legal drama The Good Wife. Perry will play Mike, a very charming lawyer heading up a blue-ribbon panel that is investigating the suspicious shooting of a police officer. Alicia is assigned to the panel as well, and it's not long before she begins questioning the actions Mike is taking as the chairman.
Perry is widely known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends and since the series ended, he has starred in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and the short-lived ABC drama Mr. Sunshine. His new role in The Good Wife is recurring and is rumored to possibly carry over into next season.
Perry's first air date is March 25.

Paget Brewster is walking out the door, leaving the pursuit of serial killers to her very capable co-workers...
Deadline is reporting that for the second time in the last year, Brewster is leaving Criminal Minds for good when the season comes to a close this May. Last spring, Brewster had been let go from the show and signed on for a TV comedy pilot that was never picked up. Fans of the show were quite vocal about Brewster's exit and the network asked her back when her pilot didn't work out.
"After six wonderful years playing Emily Prentiss, I have decided it's time for me to move on," Brewster tells Deadline. "As much as I will miss my Criminal Minds family, I am excited about the future and other opportunities."
Rumor has it that Brewster had asked the network to allow her to go out for pilot season, but when her request was denied, she opted to not renew her contract. The remaining cast members have all signed on for season eight -- provided CBS renews the series (and they undoubtedly will).

I never understood the saying, "youth is wasted on the young" until I was older and could see with my own eyes how often teens and young adults take life for granted. When we were young, all we wanted to do was grow up, but when we finally live in a world where we have big responsibilities, many of us would love to revert back to those days when the biggest problem we had was what to wear on a date or to school.
It's pretty rare to meet a teenager who understands and appreciates what life has to offer and how lucky they are to have their life of endless possibilities ahead of them. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Body of Proof star Mary Mouser is fully aware (and appreciative) of the incredible opportunity she was given when she landed a series regular role playing Dana Delany's daughter on the hit ABC crime drama. Mary is a normal teenager -- except for the fact that she does not take her youth for granted. This 15-year-old works hard, hangs out with her friends, has plans for the future and lives her life to the fullest every single day.
I was thrilled to have the chance to chat with this absolutely delightful young lady about being a teenager, plans for college and her role on Body of Proof....
