Celebrities Love Modern Family!
This week we have some celeberties that love Modern Family:
Kirstie Alley (from the Washington Examiner):
Alley said she would adore guest roles on “Glee” and “Modern Family” and knows exactly what they should be. On Fox’s show about a high school glee club, Alley could see herself as an acting coach in search of singing talent for a musical. On ABC’s “Modern Family,” she’s itching for a more maternal part.
“I want to play the gay guy’s mom,” she said, referring to the heavyset character of Cameron, partner to Mitchell (actors Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson). “And they’ve got to do it quick, while I’m still plump.”
Alyssa Milano (From PB Pulse):
The top shows on her TiVo.
“I love Modern Family, House, Dexter and I love The United States of Tara.”
Bret Michaels (From Access Hollywood):
“I’ve been spending my time in the hospital watching ‘Modern Family,’” he revealed. “It is the best new comedy out there.”

PopEater has an interview with Modern Family’s Star Sarah Hyland. Here are some of the highlights:
Do you have a favorite episode?
I think my favorite episode would be the episode where Julie … is in her underwear because she’s really hot.
I see from your Twitter account that you’re a Lakers fan. Are you looking forward to the playoffs?
I am really looking forward to it.
One last question — your hair is amazing on the show, we’re all jealous. How do you get it to look like that?
I call that “Disney hair.” They just curl it and then you put your fingers through it … It looks like everyone on Disney.

On The “Modern Family” Set With Eric Stonestreet
Back Stage visited Stonestreet on set, where he was filming an episode, and spoke with him about landing the job of a lifetime. Here are some of the highlights of their visit:
Stonestreet reveals that he originally read the pilot for “Modern Family” when a friend asked for help running lines.
“He had an audition for Cameron, and as I read with him, I was really bummed I wasn’t getting to go in for it,” Stonestreet recalls. “It just hadn’t come my direction as far as the physical type yet.” Although he hadn’t seen a description of the character’s appearance, he knew that Ferguson was already cast as Mitchell and the network was looking for someone who matched him. “You just never know,” Stonestreet says. “I’ve been a character actor and a big guy my whole career, and my goal has always been to change people’s mind and do justice to the part so that they look past what I look like and see just an actor, rather than a ‘big’ or a ‘heavyset’ actor.”
Stonestreet’s representation persisted, and the show still couldn’t find a Cameron. The search began to widen, and eventually Stonestreet was allowed to audition. “I don’t remember the exact breakdown, but it was something like ‘Passionate, the more dramatic of the two, flamboyant but grounded,’” the actor says. “It was a tricky character to audition for, because you read the script and there’s that ‘Lion King’ moment. So you have to build a character who’s not too flamboyant — yet, on Page 27, he’s capable of this.”
Though Stonestreet is straight, he had no qualms about accepting the role, and he takes it as a compliment that many viewers find him so convincing that they assume he’s gay in real life. “I love it!” he says. “I love the fans that I have. They’re so cool. I’m a guy who’s been working as an actor for a long time, and my main goal was always to get a job. Not to get a job on a great show, not to get a job on a great show with a great character, but just to get a job. So for me to be on this show with this cast and this audience support is more than I could have ever imagined. I will take my fans in any shape, size, gender, sexual orientation they come in. I’m just happy to have fans!”
As for his family’s reaction, Stonestreet points to the year before he landed “Modern Family,” when he played murderers on “The Mentalist,” “Pushing Daisies,” and “NCIS,” as well as an inmate on death row for raping and murdering a girl on a recent episode of “Nip/Tuck.” “People will ask me, ‘Are your parents okay with you playing a gay character on TV?’ And I’m like, ‘My mom was more upset that I killed three people on TV last year!’”
‘Modern Family’ Cast Will All Compete For Supporting Emmys After Ed O’Neill Gesture
When Modern Family star Ed O’Neill submits himself this week for Emmy Awards consideration, he will do it in the Supporting Actor category, despite being the biggest name star on the hit ABC sitcom. Insiders said that O’Neill’s move will be emulated by all of the principal cast members. While this might cost the show some trophies, sources said O’Neill is making the surprising move because he felt that nobody is bigger than anybody else in a show that is evolving into a true ensemble hit.

ARIEL WINTER – Modern Family
Alloy has an inteview with Ariel, Alex from Modern Family. Here are the highlights:
How are you like and unlike your character, Alex?
Coincidentally, Alex and I are both loyal and smart (not really tooting my own horn), cynical and funny and I have to admit, I’m a bit of a smart alec myself, if you ask my parents. We both really value education. The biggest difference is how we dress. Alex is more Urban Outfitters tomboy and I’m more of an edgy rock and roll younger version of Taylor Swift. Also, I don’t wear glasses or play cello.
What’s been your favorite scene to film?
Probably when Alex goes to the school dance and a boy actually wants to dance with her. Talk about awkward.
Have you had that experience?
I actually haven’t been to a school dance yet but I’m really excited. I have all these dresses in my closet that I’ve worn to premieres that I don’t really get to wear anywhere else so I’m really excited that if I go to one of these school dances, I could go to my closet and be like, “Which dress do I want to wear?!”
Who do you think is the funniest cast member on the show?
You can’t decide that. Everyone is hilarious. We’re SNL but for ABC.
