Chris Colfer may be the lovable, breakout star on FOX’s toe-tapping hit Glee, but don’t let his camera-friendly good looks and fancy footwork fool you – this kid’s got brains!

The 21-year-old took some time away from McKinley High this weekend, to debut his latest project Struck by Lightning at the Tribeca Film Festival.  Colfer, who not only wrote the film’s screenplay, also stars in it along with Hollywood mainstays Allison Janney, Dermot Mulroney, Polly Bergen, Christina Hendricks and Sarah Hyland, raved that seeing his words come to life was better than he could’ve ever imagined.

A lot of the stuff is exactly how I had it in my mind. Or better… They are really the people I envisioned when I was writing this. It’s a trip…

The film, which follows a high school outcast who starts a magazine and uses it to blackmail some of the popular kids, was inspired by events from Coffers actual high school experience.

Geez – we didn’t know that kind of stuff happened in real life!  Check out the trailer for Struck by Lightning below!

In a segment they like to call “revolving mirrors” Glee star Chris Colfer and the show’s outstanding choreographer Zach Woodlee, give us Gleeks a chance to peek into what makes the FOX hit show such a resounding success.

The cast and crew’s sense of humor!

Working on a show that tackles such hard hitting issues as bullying and gay-rights can be tough, so it’s important to remember what it’s really all about – GLEE!

Chris and Zach’s video segment is just as adorable as it is hilarious – check it out below!

BRING ON THE GLEEKS!

Actors Chris Colfer and Darren Criss looked super dapper in slick black suits on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

The 21 year-old Chris, who plays gay student Kurt Hummel, and 24 year-old Darren, who plays Kurt’s boyfriend Blaine Anderson, quickly became the most handsome and enigmatic gay couple in Glee club history.

Unfortunately, GLEE left empty handed with no awards, but actress Jane Lynch, who plays the devilish Sue Sylvester, delivered a fantastic ceremony as the host of the evening. Congrats to all Gleeks. The new season of “Glee” premieres today (Tuesday, September 20).

Chris Colfer was casually dressed for the red carpet premiere of Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, held at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles last night.

The Struck By Lightning star spoke about how the Glee graduations that creator Ryan Murphy spoke about last month (where Murphy said Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith would be leaving at the end of season 3) were confusing for everyone, but are now resolved.

Colfer, 21, told Access Hollywood that all the talk of the three stars being let go from the show was just “a series of misunderstandings.” He added that “Everything’s good now.”

New York City is in full Glee-mania.

The cast of the hit TV show are filming the finale (the New Directions group is headed to Nationals) on the East Coast and Mayor Bloomberg took time out to welcome them at a press conference held at the Gershwin Theater.

Joking with the cast, the Big Apple Mayor said “Mayors don’t get a lot of time to watch television, so I don’t know much about this season’s plot but actually it would be great to see what happens with Finn and Rachel.”

“We’ve been filming ‘Glee’ in Los Angeles for two years. We’ve never met the mayor there,” said executive producer Dante Di Loreto.

The show is filming the season two episode (to air May 24th) and they will be around until the 29th. They are scheduled to shoot scenes at some of the major landmarks, including Lincoln Center, Times Square and Central Park.

So far, most of the cast has been spotted, papped and twitterazzi’d all around the city.

Cory Monteith, Chord Overstreet, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Heather Morris, Mark Salling and lots more of the cast are pictured below.
