Mr. Schue!

.
.And speaking of "Glee", Matthew Morrison, who plays the the glee club coach, Will Schuester, is gracing the cover of Details Magazine. We love Matthew Morrison, and he's an incredibly gifted singer, dancer and performer, but come on Mr. Schue, stop with the white-boy rap numbers on the show. Keeping our lunch down while watching Mr. Schue try to take his homies downtown, now that's hard!

Sexiest Men Alive... Duh

People Magazine has issued its "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, and this year's winner is Ryan Reynolds. Runners-up include Matthew Morrison of "Glee", Joe Mangiello of "True Blood", Kellan Lutz of "Twilight" and Jake Gyllenhaal. The editors of People Magazine must have been reading East Village Afternoon, because we've featured all of these guys several times on our pages. So while we don't disagree with the magazine, they certainly picked the right guys, the only thing we'd say to People is, "What took you so long?"

Matthew Morrison Takes Down the Tweens

Matthew Morrison is feeling his Wheaties. He recently took out not one, but two tween stars in verbal smackdowns.

.

First up was Britney Spears. After the Madonna-themed "Glee" episode was a major ratings behemoth, and after the album for said episode immediately shot to #1 on the Billboard chart, Brit Brit's manager, Adam Leber, began a campaign for his client. "Do you guys want to see a Britney Spears episode of Glee?", Leber Twittered.

.

Asked about the possibility of a Britney-themed "Glee" on May 1, "Glee"'s star, Matthew Morrison, told Us Weekly, "That's a rumor her manager started. I hope our show doesn't go along that route."

..

Oh, Brit, that has to hurt. But come on, Madonna has had dozens of hits, 37 top ten hits and 12 #1's. Brit Brit has had, what, one or two hits? Who knows? Maybe the most obvious reason why the cast of "Glee" might not want to feature Britney Spears' songs is because it would be incredibly hard to work a large board vocal modulator into every musical scene of the show. Now that's an "ouch".

.

But Morrison wasn't finished; he mopped up the floor with the current tween rage, hair-challenged Justin Bieber. "I don't get this Bieber thing," Morrison said. "I really don't get it…I haven't even heard his music. I couldn't tell you one name of his songs—and I'm not lying about that."

.

O. M. G! Right, girls?

..
There are still some diehard Brit Brit fans out there, though. Not to be dismissed, about 7,700 people have now registered as fans on the recently launched "In Support of Glee Making a Britney Spears Episode" page on Facebook. But considering there are over 300 million users of Facebook, those aren't impressive numbers. Especially compared to the recent Facebook campaign which got Betty White a spot on "Saturday Night Live". White's Facebook promotion racked up 507,000 fans.

Of course if Brit and the Bieb wanted to jab back at Matthew Morrison, they could ask him to stop doing those creepy "Ice Ice Baby" white rapper performances, complete with suburban white home-boy dance moves. Ow-ch!
