Idina’s 2010 Symphony Tour officially kicked off last weekend in Jacksonville, Florida and lots of great photos from the show have been added to the Gallery. I’ll continue to add photos to the touring album throughout the year as photos are found, so check in now and then to see if there are updates. Super awesome updates will be announced on our Twitter. Click the thumbnails to view!

East coast blogger Jeannie of AtlanticBeachLife.com and her colleague Nick Lulli were the only press allowed backstage to interview Idina. She posted a great summary of the show on her blog (linked above) and was nice enough to allow her photos added to our gallery. You can watch Nick’s interview with Idina on YouTube.

Idina has returned to New York in preparation of her upcoming shows in Boston, and has been doing a miniature media circuit promoting her symphony tour and her participation in Glee.

You can also watch a [very] short interview from MTV here and a continuation of that interview discussing the Wicked movie here.

The first promotional image featuring Idina as a character on FOX’s Glee has been revealed! Idina will be playing “Shelby,” the coach of rival show choir, Vocal Adrenaline. Click the image to view larger in the gallery.

Idina will appear in the first episode when Glee returns on April 13!

I know it’s been quiet here lately – I wish I had something to report, but I don’t! So in lieu of that, I’ll just point out some of the updates to the photo gallery that I’ve made in the last few weeks to try to tide us over in the quiet period. Click on the thumbnails to access the albums.

As always, you can view all the latest updates made to the gallery by clicking on the Last Uploads link on the gallery’s main page.

Photos from October surfaced this week of Idina and Taye out and about in Los Angeles with their son, Walker. They’re all in the gallery, thanks to LeaMicheleWeb.org. Click the previews to view. :)

In other news, Taye has been giving a few interviews promoting Private Practice, and in one of them, he revealed that he and Idina love FOX’s Glee, and that Idina “would love” to guest star as Rachel Berry’s (Lea Michele) mother. Read the complete article here. Cross your fingers that it happens eventually!

Today’s fun gallery update reveals several previously unseen photos from Idina’s 2003 photoshoot for Here. Aren’t they prettiful?
