Jane Lynch of “Glee” Makes a Surprise Appearance at D9 (Video)
Jane Lynch, the Emmy Award-winning star of the Fox show “Glee,” stood in for our mutual boss Rupert Murdoch to kick off D9 today.
Acting CEO of News Corp
Lynch, in a three-minute fictional stint as the acting CEO of News Corp--Murdoch had to miss his customary opening slot due to an engagement in China--told the audience she was making a few changes in the operation, including shuttering The Daily ("Never heard of it, never used it, so clearly I'll be shutting that down") and keeping Glenn Beck at Fox for one final role as a dying patient on "House."

Viral Video: D9 Acting CEO Jane Lynch on the “R-Word”
“Glee” star Jane Lynch opened the ninth D: All Things Digital in a terrific bit of stand-up, posing as the acting CEO of News Corp. and making all kinds of comical proclamations.

Viral Video: Bieber Yourself–There's an iPhone 4 App for That!
NBC’s “Late Night” television talk show host Jimmy Fallon is pretty geeky, which is why he tried this sketch about new apps for the new Apple iPhone 4.

MySpace Should Be Glee-ful About Hit Series Online Auditions (Plus Celebrity Video!)

Now MySpace is getting the benefit of the heat “Glee” is generating, by hosting the online auditions for the Fox television network show, which returns tonight after a short hiatus, as well as from a massive ad takeover of the site today. Will “Glee”–an online phenom in its own right, with more than four million song downloads so far–give MySpace a boost?
