Actress Jane Lynch and her wife of three years have decided to divorce.

The Glee star, 52, and clinical psychologist Dr. Lara Embry, 44, met at a fundraiser in California in 2009 and were married in May 2010 in a ceremony in Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal.

The star released a statement to People.com about the split on Monday, saying, "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter."

Lynch is the stepmother of Embry's daughter Haden, legally b...

Actress Jane Lynch is struggling with leg cramps "all night long" as she performs in new Broadway musical Annie.

The Glee star has been playing mean orphanage matron Miss Hannigan in the hit New York revival since May (13), and she is really suffering for her art onstage.

She tells U.S. breakfast show Today, "I do trip up the stairs at one point and I really do stub my toe because I'm method! I have cramps in my legs all night long from doing stuff like that."

Lynch will have to hobble on with the muscle cramps for another six weeks - her Broadway run is expected to run until 14 July (13...

The Glee star has signed on to front Hollywood Game Night, which will pit celebrities against regular contestants as they compete for cash prizes.

The program, which was created by former Will & Grace actor Sean Hayes, is set to air on NBC later this year.

It's Fashion Fail Time! That means we take a break from letting you know how good all of your favorite stars look to show the other side of fashion: the fails! This week we have a collection of bad fashion from the SAG awards.

Jennifer Lawrence: Above we have Miss Lawrence, whose dress was forgettable except for the fact it was apparently designed to fall apart if she attempted to walk up stairs.

Julianne Moore: From the bottom up, her dress starts nicely before ending in an unflattering and loose blouse top.

Ellie Kemper: This sea foam gown looks like it was the selection of a p...

Jane Lynch has heaped praise on Jodie Foster for seemingly confirming long running speculation she is a lesbian in a speech at the Golden Globes, insisting she is "grateful" to have witnessed the actress' "big moment".

The Panic Room star moved the Hollywood crowd to tears with an impassioned speech about her personal life and career as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award onstage at the Los Angeles prizegiving earlier this month.

She declared, "A big coming out speech tonight... I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days ...

Glee star Jane Lynch has partnered with the National College Finance Center on their "Don't Major In Debt" program, which endeavors to educate students, prospective students and their loved ones on paying for higher education.

The NCFC's website states that their mission "is to guide students and families to resources that will help pay for college the smartest way possible, as well as provide information and advice on repaying student loans."

Lynch, who is a Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner for her role as coach Sue Sylvester on the FOX comedy, recently spoke with me about why she's ...

Glee star Jane Lynch has showed her support for Barack Obama by narrating a new campaign for the President.

In the advertisement, the openly gay actress applauds Obama for publicly endorsing same-sex marriage in a TV interview earlier this month.

The narration begins with Lynch declaring, "In 2008, our country elected a leader who not only acknowledged the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community, but who embraced it. He counted us as friends. We elected a man who understood our struggles and who has pushed the nation forward towards equality."

Lynch, who married her lo...

First I must say that I have never been a fan of 'The Three Stooges.' Never watched them on TV way back when or understood their appeal. Slapstick, over the top comedy has never been my thing.

So you can imagine how much I was dreading seeing the Farrelly Brothers new film 'The Three Stooges.' Well guess what? To my surprise, I absolutely loved it and I LMAO.

This has a lot to do with the three actors portraying these guys. Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) Larry (Sean Hayes) and Curly (Will Sasso) are absolutely spot on in bringing these iconic characters to life.

Yes, the humor is campy, s...

The word’s just in! We’ve just got confirmation that Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the Emmy Awards this year!

The late-night comedian’s reps have just confirmed that the star will be hosting the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards scheduled to air on September 23rd by ABC.

While this esteemed gig will be the first time he will be hosting the Emmys, awards shows are nothing none too familiar to Kimmel as he has previously hosted the American Music Awards and the Espys. He is also set to host the White House Correspondents Dinner later in April.

‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch hosted last year and fellow lat...

Many stars attended last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, and black was one of the most popular colors on the red carpet.

Angelina Jolie showed off her particularly thin figure in a draped black gown. Other stars in black included Stacy Keibler, Jayma Mays, Amber Heard, Ashlee Simpson, Emma Stone, Glenn Close, Heather Morris, Tina Fey and Melissa McCarthy.

But there were some spots of color in the bunch, including Sofia Vergara's bright pink gown and Emily Blunt's seafoam green dress.

It seems like ‘Glee’ has just decided to pretend last week’s West Side Virgin Story never happened. Thank goodness! What a relief it is to jump right back into election season and age-inappropriate relationships! Puck leads the boys in a sexually charged performance of Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher” within the first five minutes of the episode and it's clear that we can put 'The First Time' behind us and have some fun this week.

The good news gets even better when Ms. Corcoran , who has nice scenes with just about every single character in this show, speaks to Mr. Schue about keeping their...

A tearful Jane Lynch met her childhood crush Ron Howard for the very first time on TV on Monday.

The gay Glee star has often discussed her longtime affection for Howard, who played innocent Richie Cunningham on the popular sitcom Happy Days when she was growing up, but never got the chance to meet him face-to-face.

That changed while she was promoting her memoirs on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon when the host booked the two celebrities on the same show.

Expressing her delight, she said, "Like every closeted lesbian in the 1970s, I had a crush on Ron Howard. It's the truth. All gay girl...

Gay Glee star Jane Lynch has thrown her support behind embattled moviemaker Brett Ratner after he stepped down as the producer of the Oscars last week following a homophobic slur scandal.

Ratner's resignation came four days after he told movie fans that "Rehearsal's for fags" at a question-and-answer session to promote his new movie Tower Heist.

The remark led to a weekend of outrage among gay rights groups and, after apologizing for his slip-up, the outspoken director decided to walk away from his first Academy Awards.

Host and pal Eddie Murphy stepped down a day later.

Now Lynch has s...

Glee star Lauren Potter has been appointed to serve on President Barack Obama's Committee for People With Intellectual Disabilities.

The Down Syndrome actress, who plays Jane Lynch's sidekick Becky Jackson on the hit TV show, will share her own real-world advice on issues of education, home ownership and work placement with the American leader.

Releasing a statement to CNN, she writes, "It is important to me that people with intellectual disabilities are represented and treated fairly and are given the same opportunities as every other American.

"Our challenges are the same as many ot...

Actress Jane Lynch presented Neil Patrick Harris and his partner with a top prize at a gay rights gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Lynch, who has worked with Harris on her hit series Glee, stepped onstage to introduce the How I Met Your Mother star and his fiance David Burtka at the Gay & Lesbian Center's 40th Anniversary Gala.

The funnywoman had the audience laughing as she joked that the couple's twins are cuter than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children, before handing them the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award.

Actor David Arquette was also at the event to recognise his...

Like Sandra Dee, this week’s ‘Glee’ was lousy with virginity. Expectations were high after promos showed Rachel, Finn, Kurt and Blaine all getting their sexy on… but as it happened, ‘The First Time’ was kind of disappointing.

Unfortunately, West Side Story just doesn’t lend itself to this theme the way Madonna does. The season one tribute to the Queen of Pop covered similar territory and featured “Like a Virgin,” the most perfect song for the occasion. More importantly, the subject of de-flowering came up naturally and organically. Conversely, this week’s sudden sexual awakening isn’t moti...

After yielding its timeslot to Major League Baseball for the past few weeks, “Glee” returned last night with an hour of leprechauns, cougars, and congressional candidates. Picking up where the series left off, this reasonably focused episode advanced several plotlines and introduced some new talent, in the form of ‘Glee Project’ winner, Damian McGinty.

The second of four new cast members that will, at some point, be transplanted from the Oxygen Channel’s competitive reality show to the Fox flagship, McGinty was front and center in his inaugural appearance as foreign exchange student, Rory...

As Alan and Jake watch TV, Jake establishes that Alan is not paying any rent to Walden, and says he can’t wait until he grows up and finds a friend he can live off of. Walden enters, naked, carrying the mail, which contains a penis pump for Alan and Walden’s divorce papers. Walden is very upset about the papers, sure he’ll never find another soulmate. As he gestures wildly, Alan and Jake’s heads track the movement of Walden’s penis. When he leaves, the half man asks his dad to assure him he’s not stopped growing, and Alan hands him the penis pump box. Classy stuff!

Walden opts to burn all...

Lesbian Glee star Jane Lynch gave neighborhood boys a thrill while she was growing up in Dolton, Illinois - she would ride her bike topless.

The actress grew up wanting to be one of the boys - and she refused to wear a shirt or a bra while out playing in the summer.

She says, "I used to ride my bike through the neighborhood (and I did it) one summer too long. My mom was like, 'You have to put on a shirt...' I wanted to be a boy... Boys ride on their bike with their shorts and no shirt.

"I dressed in my dad's clothes. I used to go into his closet and close the door put on his clothes and ...

Gay "Glee" star Jane Lynch kept her "affair" with a college teacher a secret from her parents for a decade.

The actress realized she was gay while she was growing up in Illinois and swore to keep her sexuality to herself, but she started to loosen up at college after falling for a female lecturer.

She says, "I had a crush on a teacher... and we had a little affair."

But Lynch felt she couldn't tell her parents about the fling.

She adds, "I didn't tell my parents until I was almost 32, so I went about 10/11 years not being honest with my parents and we were very distant from each other.
...

Actress Jane Lynch didn't have to dig too deep to find her mean-spirited Glee character Sue Sylvester - she used to be just like that.

Now forever upbeat and happy, Lynch reveals past insecurities that were masked by a drinking problem turned her into a terrible person and it was only when she quit boozing almost 20 years ago that she realized what a vile woman she was - especially to people she worked with.

In a candid interview with Access Hollywood, the Glee star says, "It was so Psychology 101- I felt terrible inside and I projected it onto everybody else. I made everybody bad, wrong,...

Lady Gaga is leading celebrations after a U.S. policy barring openly homosexual soldiers from serving in the military was abolished on Tuesday.

The controversial Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy was introduced in 1993, prohibiting military officers from discriminating against 'closeted' gay fellow soldiers, and preventing any hopefuls from admitting their sexual orientation.

President Barack Obama repealed the order on Tuesday and now a host of stars are showing their appreciation for the law change.

In a post on Twitter.com, Gaga writes, "What a tremendous & beautiful day, DADT is...

Mad Men looked set to dominate the night, going in with 19 top nominations, and it continued its winning streak for the best drama title for the fourth year in a row.

But the stars of the period drama didn't fair so well - Jon Hamm was a four-time loser for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series - Kyle Chandler claimed that prize for his role in Friday Night Lights, while Julianna Margulies beat t...

Glee star Jane Lynch was filled with mixed emotions when she came face-to-face with her waxwork at Madame Tussauds last year - because the whole unveiling ceremony reminded her of a funeral.

The actress was honored by the Hollywood branch of the celebrity wax museum, with her statue dressed as her Glee character, cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester.

But Lynch admits she wasn't smiling on the inside as she posed for photos beside her look-a-like at the big event.

In an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, "Happy Accidents," obtained by People magazine, she writes, "At the unveiling ceremony, th...

Actress Jane Lynch developed a "raging crush" on actor/director Ron Howard as a young girl to hide the fact that she was gay.

The Glee star insists she discovered she was attracted to other females when she was just 12 years old, although it wasn't until she turned 21 that she first 'came out' as a lesbian.

And Lynch admits she adopted an unlikely love for Howard after seeing him on hit 1970s sitcom Happy Days, starring as teenager Richie Cunningham.

In her upcoming memoir, "Happy Accidents," she writes, "So like any good, closeted young lesbian of the seventies, I developed a raging cru...

Jane Lynch drank alcohol-infused cold medicine as she battled to stay sober after years of boozing.

The "Glee" actress recently opened up about her longtime struggle to kick her alcohol addiction, and now she's coming clean about the bizarre methods she used in her upcoming memoir "Happy Accidents."

Lynch admits she often used over-the-counter cough syrup to achieve a buzz as she weened herself off beer.

In an excerpt from her autobiography, obtained by the New York Post, she writes, "I found myself eating about a gallon of chocolate ice-cream daily to replace the copious amounts of suga...
