In honor of Black History Month, the White House is hosting an event called “The Motown Sound: In Performance at the White House” honoring Motown music. The event will air on PBS networks on March 1 at 8:00 pm eastern time and is going to be hosted by Jamie Foxx. The concert will also feature performances from stars such as Sheryl Crow, Nick Jonas, Smokey Robinson, and Amber Riley and Mark Salling from Glee to name a few.
In the Philadelphia area doing an appearance at The Gleek Tour, Glee stars Amber Riley (who plays Mercedes on the show) and Chris Colfher (who plays Kurt) stopped by Good Day Philadelphia to sit down with their host for an interview promoting the show. The two of them pointed out that the Glee premiere is going to be 09/09/09 at 9, and went on to answer questions about whether their real personalities match those of their characters, and about the craziness that has ensued since the show began its quick rise to popularity.
