'Glee's Max Adler on Karofsky's Suicide Attempt in Bold Episode

Some of the most gut-wrenching and arresting scenes from "Glee" have featured Max Adler, the 25-year-old actor who plays Dave Karofsky, the McKinley High bully figuring out his own sexual identity. Most times when he's called in for an episode it means the phrase "Very Special" should probably be tacked on to the title -- his first big splash came in "Never Been Kissed," last season's standout episode that introduced Darren Criss to the popular consciousness and featured an unexpected locker-room kiss between Karofksy and Kurt Hummel, the out and proud gay student played by Chris Colfer that the bully had spent previous episodes tormenting. From there Karofsky has reappeared as Prom King to Kurt's Prom Queen shocker, leaving him in the lurch when their coronation song played. This season he appeared at Lima's local gay bar to talk to Kurt about his progress at his new school, and most recently he donned a gorilla suit in the Valentine's episode to play secret admirer to Kurt, resulting in a jock from his new school overhearing the admission of his crush on Kurt that set his plotline in motion for this Tuesday.


Adler's biggest challenge on "Glee" came this week when LGBTQ teen suicide took center stage. In the episode, the overheard conversation turns the bullying tables on Karofksy, both in person at his school and online, driving him to attempt to take his own life in desperation. We talked to Adler, who outside of "Glee" is involved in various charity work (including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the It Gets Better Project and City Hearts), about the episode, Dave Karofksy as a character, and working with Golden Globe winner Colfer so intimately.

Adele is on USA VOGUE COVER for MARCH 2012


Adele had one of the biggest weekends of her life (hello, Grammy sweep!), and in the mix was the release of her long-rumored U.S. Vogue cover, for the March 2012 issue (pictured above).

Less than an hour after the Grammys ended last night, Vogue.com published the cover, its accompanying story and eleven photos from the Adele shoot (by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott). (The cover perviously surfaced on fashion blogs over the weekend.) On the stunning cover, there's not a hip in sight -- just flowing hair and plenty of cleavage, accentuated by a tight-fitting black lace dress. The accompanying photo set shows a bit of variety in fashion choices, straying from Adele's usual all-black look via dramatic gem-toned touches from Oscar de la Renta, a wide corset belt and leather gloves. There's still plenty of black, vintage and lace, though -- all Adele fashion staples. Meanwhile, extreme close-ups of Adele's face show off her flawless skin and features. In the cover story, the writer, unlike a certain Mr. Lagerfeld, doesn't focus on Adele's body, or any of her rumored weight lose as of late.

Instead, readers learn about her recent vocal recovery, and that despite what her fans want, she's not planning on writing another "21" any time soon. "I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way," she said. "I'm done with being a bitter witch." In fact, she actually has some nice things to say about the man -- ten years older than her -- who broke her heart and in the process, inspired "21." "You know, he was amazing," Adele admits in Vogue. "He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages I was like, As if he deserves any fucking kudos for inspiring my record. But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me-has now changed my life for fucking ever with this album-deserves a little credit. I can do things that I never dreamed I'd be able to do. If I hadn't met him, I think I'd still be that little girl I was when I was eighteen. And the best thing is, I now know what I want for myself and from someone else. I didn't know what I wanted before."

As for Adele's new man friend, 37-year-old charity CEO Simon Konecki (who accompanied her to the Grammys last night), she boasts that "he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think." Looks like fans can expect "25" (or whatever it may be called) to be a happy record -- something very different for Ms. Adkins.
