‘Glee’ gal Naya Rivera admitted to a starstruck moment on the Grammy Awards red carpet Sunday. ‘I saw Nicki Minaj — died just a little bit!’ said the actress, nominated with the rest of the ‘Glee’ cast for pop performance by a group or duo with vocals.
This after Rivera revealed to the Grammys Live crew that at the series’ start, she’d just hoped to hang in there for a few episodes.
‘Don’t Stop Believin’ (Regionals Version)’ was up against the ubiquitous ‘Hey Soul Sister (Live)’ from Train, plus tunes from Paramore and Sade — with Train taking home the trophy early in the show. The first ‘Glee’ soundtrack release is also up for compilation soundtrack album for motion picture, television or other visual media.
Meanwhile, costar Mark Salling had the tween girls swooning as he walked the concourse with a male friend. He stopped to pose for pictures with a pair of giggling junior high school girls before breezing past a concerned security guard and up the escalator to Premiere seating. That soon resulted in a bad-boy Puckerman moment — apparently Salling had the wrong ticket for that area, and Ministry eyes last saw him detained by another security guard just minutes before the show started.
And here we were thinking the ‘Glee’ crew was getting too big for the red carpet — Rivera and Matthew Morrison were among those skipping interviews with the print media folks.
Morrison did tell E! News’ cameras how the rest of the cast is handling that he’s going to be out on tour with his solo album. ‘They’re a little jealous, just because they have to go out on the ‘Glee’ tour,’ Morrison said. ‘They all have to go together!’
