Thank goodness they have the next six months together to get better aquainted.
If you haven't heard by now, Nick Jonas just started his run on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Joining the cast alongside him is Ugly Betty star Michael Urie. In fact, the pair have spent the last threes together in rehearsals, working very closely.
Unfortunately, it seems that Michael still has a lot to learn about the young JoBro. Check out the video (above) to see what we mean!
As of this week, Nick Jonas will be officially replacing Darren Criss as J. Pierpont Finch in the Broadway revival of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying!
For those of you who won't be making it into the city for his opening night, here is a pretty spectacular behind-the-scenes look at his first stage rehearsals for the show! (above)
Oh, and another plus — Michael Urieis starting with the production this week too! He's also in the video talking about joining the show and how excited he is!
This show is making way for even more great stars!
Michael Urie, best known for his work on Ugly Betty, is poised to make his Broadway debut this January in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. Joining the show alongside Nick Jonas and Beau Bridges, Michael will play Bud Frump beginning Tuesday, January 24. His run will last six months, with his closing date being Sunday, July 1, 2012.
Many congratulations to you Michael! We have no doubt you'll be splendid!
It doesn't seem like it would be a secret, but until today, Michael Urie of Ugly Betty fame has never officially announced his sexual orientation. Of course, people have made their assumptions based on his acting roles and of the such, but now we have a definitive answer from Michael himself.
In an interview for The Advocate, Michael explains that he would rather not put a label on himself as "gay," but he is currently dating a man. (A very sexy actor man named Ryan Spahn!) Michael reveals:
“I’ve never been in. I’ve never said I was straight, and I’m not saying I’m gay now. I never lie, and I’ve never shied away from the topic. I’ve certainly chosen through my work to do things that promote the rights of LGBTQ people. I am not a hypocrite—certainly not now…I’ve been in a relationship for a while now, and if you just met the two of us together we’d be ‘gay.' But that somehow means anything that happened before [we met] didn’t count—and I don’t feel that way. I know that some people feel that way. They were with women, but it always felt wrong. But it didn’t for me. It felt right at the time. It didn’t work out, but it also didn’t work out with other men—many times. That’s why ‘gay’ never seemed right.”
So, when asked which letter in LGBTQ he identifies with most, Michael selected "Q" - queer.
And there you have it. Not so much a mystery solved.
Ugly Betty star America Ferrera supported the theatrical efforts of costar Michael Urie by showing up to a performance of his show, The Temperamentals, in NYC this weekend.
Adorbs!
We hear some good things about Michael's show and we are loving America's simple, sexy summer look. Girl knows how to work it out when she isn't forced to wear those fugly specs and Mexican ponchos.
Ugly Betty's Michael Urie was looking super ridiculously cute this weekend while participating in the 11th annual Broadway Barks event to help a number of homeless cats and dogs find new homes!
But more importantly…
Who's cuter: Michael or the adorable pup Michael's holding????
At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!
Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!
She explains:
"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this . The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie. The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children. You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters."
And since we've gotten word that the Luc Besson movie she had been eyeing seems to have stalled, and Maleficent recently got Robert Stromberg as a director, we think it's safe to say that the Linda Woolverton-written adaptation of the classic fairy tale is definitely where we'll see her next!
