last may, fox was convinced they had a hit with their latest tv show, ‘glee.’ viewers were ecstatic over the preview of this musically-inclined sitcom. naturally, fox jumped for joy over the ratings & fast-tracked the show into a fall premiere. but they might want to wait on the congratulatory champagne.

the next set of reviews are in. and variety has ripped the hopeful hit to shreds! “talk about one-hit wonders,” the mag writes, ”the promise & energy associated with the debut of ‘glee’ last spring largely evaporates.” the review purports that the series will be short-lived, to say the least.

did ya miss the preview last spring? lemme catch you up. it’s a look at romance through a high-school glee club. misfit singers, star quarterbacks, cheerleaders & awkward teachers fill the cast – with the group occasionally bursting into song & dance. variety says that while the cast has a whole lot of talent, it seems to be crushed alongside the show’s “jokey, cartoonish, wildly uneven tone.” we’ll see if audiences buy into the new show come this season. ‘glee’ premieres on fox sept. 9th at 9pm. i’ll leave you with this parting shot from variety: in order for the show to last, “they’re gonna have to croon a tune helluva lot better than this!”

the award – for excellence in film – is a moment of pride for aniston, as she thanks fans for supporting her in her transition from tv to film. “it’s funny,” she starts off, “i kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies i was doing and my life off screen. “it started with, well, ‘the good girl’ then that evolved into ‘rumor has it’, followed by ‘derailed’, and then there was ‘the break-up’. and then on the lighter side was ‘friends with money’, which i felt was a bit on the nose.”

of course, that got the audience going quite a bit. but the elephant in the room left to be discussed was her ongoing romance troubles. but she wasn’t about to pass up that joke. ”…and if anyone has a movie called ‘everlasting love with an adult stable man…i’m at table six, and my agents are at table 12.”

but see, that’s why we love her. she’s cute, funny, and very very real. so congrats to jen for the award and for her success in the biz.
