I love perusing the New York Times weddings section — there’s nothing like reading about how two ridiculously successful people descended from either the Founding Fathers or oil barons with ten Ivy League degrees between them meet, fall in love, and combine their already huge trust funds. Today, however, I actually found one that didn’t make me gag – the announcement for Jane Lynch (a.k.a. Glee‘s Sue Sylvester) and her new wife, Dr. Lara Embry.
The happy couple tied the knot on Monday in Sunderland, Mass., with Jane walking down the aisle in a stunning, lacy white track suit (I wish!). The announcement goes into detail about how the pair met, but my favorite part came at the end, when Lara shared that her 8-year-old daughter, Haden, helped Jane practice the “Vogue” routine before she performed it on Glee. That was just the beginning — now the duo start impromptu singing and dancing sessions often, and, in fact, shared their best “Vogue” rendition at the wedding reception. All I can say is, what a lucky little girl. This sounds like such a fun family, and if Madonna’s not available, the second obvious person I’d want to teach me to “Vogue” is Sue Sylvester!
So, PopWatchers, what dance would you like to learn from America’s most hardcore cheer coach? The worm? Are there any other celebrities or characters you’d want to show you how to freestyle (Napoleon Dynamite, perhaps?) or disco (hello, John Travolta circa 1977!)?
At Rodger’s daughter’s wedding, when Betty was being annoying and staring at ugly Henry, I imagined that I was dancing with Don Draper instead.
I was totes confused for a second and thought you meant Ugly Betty and the ugly Henry she was after. But now I understand, and I agree.
LOL I had the same moment of confusion thinking it was Ugly Betty.
OMG, I am sick of her and Glee. Is it REALLY that big of a deal?
Yes it is.
It is a much bigger deal than anything you have done.
Party Down is SO much better. Love that she’s returning for the season 2 finale.
I’d like Mark Salling (Puck) to teach me the horizontal mambo.
me too!!
LOL.
Cosigned.
I’ll do my awkward white-girl dance with Finn, so we can be awkward and white-dance together.
He’s not a character, but I would love to dance with Bruce Springsteen, like Courtney Cox/Jules.
I would love to have Dirty Danced with the great Patrick Swayze. May his soul rest in peace.
Oh, same. I miss him.
Not a character, but I want to dance with Maks from Dancing with the Stars…..he is soooo sexy
SAME! Ugh, Erin is so lucky (oh, I forget, they’re “not dating”. Yeah right!).
Heather Graham in “Swingers.” I don’t think she’s ever been more appealing.
Also, the person I wouldn’t want to dance with…that one girl in the party that dances too close to Jonah Hill in “Superbad.”
omg! I had forgotten about that…ugh…nasty
I don’t think it could get any better than Jane Lynch…maybe Betty White.
I am not sure who I want to dance with, but I know I want to be choreographed by Corky St. Clair from Waiting for Guffman. He has got some sick moves.
THIS!
No contest, Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing!
Heath Ledger in A Knight’s Tale
Seth Cohen (aka Adam Brody’s character on The O.C.)
Two words.
Jonathan. Groff.
Mmmmm. I’m thinking Tango.
Gavin Creel is sooooo lucky (if they really are dating).
This pick might be from left field, but I would want to dance with Hugh Grant’s British Prime Minister character from “Love Actually”. I loved his dance and his face when he got caught be the maid. I find him incredibly endearing.
Oh, I love that moment in the movie. He’s so adorable when he’s shaking his booty.
