Morning Meme: Chris Colfer Talks About Losing It, Jenna Elfman Gets "Shameless," and Tricia Helfer Tortures Hot Men

"I think it’s a great idea. I think people love Kurt and Blaine so much that they would never stray from that. But maybe if Blaine and Kurt take a break that would be a great alternative.

The new Die Hard movie is looking to cast Bruce Willis' son, no doubt in an effort to milk the franchise once Willis is sick of it or just can't manage the physicality.
