News, Television, , , ,

Fellow Gleeks, listen here: The Glee nationwide casting call for Season 2 is taking submissions starting today!  Do you think you have what it takes to act, sing, and dance alongside the likes of Rachel (Lea Michele) and Finn (Cory Monteith)?  The creators behind Glee are looking for new cast members for Season 2 and they’ve created a MySpace page where you can upload a video submission.  Auditions are open to professionals and amateurs between the ages of 16-26.  Submissions can be performed a ccapella or with a single instrument.  Videos should be around 5 minutes in length, including an introduction and the performance, and are limited to one person.  Sorry Acafellas.  The casting call runs from today (3/30) to April 26.  Here’s the setlist (of which you must choose one song from):

“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” Dreamgirls
“Don’t Rain On My Parade” Barbra Streisand
“Gold Digger” (Radio Version) Kayne West
“Hate On Me” Jill Scott
“Rehab” Amy Winehouse
“ Keep Holding On” Avril Lavigne
“You Can’t Always Get What You Want” The Rolling Stones
“Lean On Me” Bill Withers
“Can’t Fight This Feeling” REO Speedwagon
“True Colors” Phil Collins

But don’t take it from me; Matthew Moorison has the scoop in the video above!

Disney says no to fake breasts for new ‘Pirates’ movie

Movies, News, , ,

Disney’s casting call for the next movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise seeks: “beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft7in-5ft8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.”  They go on to warn that there’ll be a “show and tell” day filled with all kinds of test to make sure candidate’s breats are real all around.  How fun!

A former casting agent reminices the days of yesteryear: “In the last movie, there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whorish look, and men were pretty well padded too, and no one worried.  But times are changing, and the audience can spot false breasts.”  Ha!  So true.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will find Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) chest deep in a whole new adventure without his trusty sidekicks Orlando Bloom.  Penelope Cruz replaces Keira Knightley as Sparrow’s love interest, Ian McShane is set to play Blackbeard, and it’s rumored that Geoffrey Rush will reprise his role as Barbossa.  It’s set to hit theatres May 20, 2011.
