Over lunch at a Manhattan hotel shortly before Glee's April 13 return from a four-month hiatus, Lynch characterizes the show's student singers, without irony, as "a group that just wants to make a joyful noise." She tears up recalling her own high school choir experience. She bursts into song. Five times. And though she says Sue Sylvester "doesn't live too far from the surface," the Glee character she feels the most kinship with is Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz), a wallflower who fakes a stutter to mask her shyness and generally confines herself to the chorus...
Standing 6 ft. (1.8 m) tall in gym shoes, Lynch has often gotten screen time by taking on parts intended for men. "My first role in high school was the king in a one-act version of 'The Princess and the Pea,'" she recalls. "It started the pattern."

...gets to work in Los Angeles, where she lives. (She's settling down in other ways too: Lynch recently confirmed her engagement to psychologist Lara Embry.)

Toyota responded on April 13 by ordering its dealers to immediately stop selling the model. Plans to launch the SUV in the next few weeks in China were also put on hold. While only about 5,000 of the luxury vehicles had been sold since its November debut, executives decided to err on the side of caution following the revelation that Toyota had withheld information about...
Suffering a decline in popularity largely because of the global financial crisis and Hungary's high levels of unemployment, Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai's Socialist Party suffered a major setback in the country's first round of parliamentary elections on April 11. Although the final allotment of seats won't be determined until after a second round of polling on April 25, the center-right Fidesz party looks to have won 206 spots in the 386-member parliament, while the extremist, far-right Jobbik party, a nationalist group that some accuse of anti-Semitism, won an estimated 26 seats...
