Naya Rivera | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

A Glee reunion is happening! Some of the cast members will participate in the 32nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards on April 8 as a tribute to the late Naya Rivera and her character Santana Lopez.

Those participating include Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale, Heather Morris, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr., Jenna Ushkowitz, Vanessa Lengies, Jacob Artist, Alex Newell, and Becca Tobin.

Lea Michele‘s name was not included in the Deadline press release, so it is assumed that she will not be participating. Ahead of Naya‘s tragic death, many stars spoke out about Lea‘s behavior on set. Lea is also a new mother.

Dianna Agron‘s name was also not included.

Naya tragically passed away at the age of 33 in a drowning accident in July of 2020.

The 2021 GLAAD Media Awards will be hosted by Niecy Nash. You’ll be able to stream the reunion on YouTube on April 8 at 8pm ET.

Naya Rivera‘s fans are not happy that she was left out of the Grammys 2021 In Memoriam tribute honoring the lives lost in the last year.

After the In Memoriam tribute aired, fans of Naya quickly realized she was not included, despite being a former Grammy nominee and actress who starred on Glee and Step Up, among other titles over the years.

Naya was previously nominated in 2011 and 2012 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Don’t Stop Believing’” and Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for “Glee: The Music, Volume 4.”

Naya Rivera‘s dad George is not happy with Ryan Murphy.

Just days after Naya‘s tragic passing last July, the Glee creator spoke out about his intent to create a college fund for her son, Josey Dorsey.

However, according to George, it hasn’t happened.

Naya‘s father took to Twitter and claimed that Ryan has been full of “Broken Promises,” “fake outrage” and “hollow gestures.”

He also claimed that there had been no phone calls despite Ryan saying that he had spoken to her family following her death.

“Everyone needs to know what Ryan Murphy really did … or didn’t do !!! I’m about to blow up this story …. and make sure he’s knows that I know,” George wrote.

He added in a reply to a fan, saying that “When you are part of the Hollywood elite, some people treat others as they are ‘less than’ …. vocalize a good game, but it’s as shallow as the sets on stage , that they create.”

After George‘s tweets came, Ryan cleared the air on his own Twitter account and claimed that talks about a college fund for Josey are still in the works.

Starz’s Step Up television series is continuing despite the tragic death of Naya Rivera, and Christina Milian has been tapped as her replacement on the show.

“Naya‘s death was a terrible loss to our world that we will, frankly, never stop mourning,” Step Up series creator and executive producer Holly Sorensen said to THR. “It was almost impossible to consider there could be someone so graceful and loving who could both help us honor our loss, while also bringing a deep reservoir of talent to our show, in so many areas. Christina is an exceptional human and a dazzling performer and we are so happy she has joined our family.”

THR also noted that the studio “considered all their options when it came to ways with which the series could move forward.” They consulted Naya‘s family over this decision.

The 28-year-old singer starred with Naya in Fox’s Glee, as Dani, who was Santana’s love interest in the fifth season.

Demi snapped an image of the sunset during a hike over the weekend and wrote “Miss You @nayarivera” on the picture.

The music playing the clip was The Beatles‘ “Here Comes The Sun,” which is a reference to one of the most popular scenes between their two characters on the show.

Following Naya‘s tragic passing earlier this summer after a drowning accident, Demi shared a tribute to her one-time on screen girlfriend.

“RIP Naya Rivera. I’ll forever cherish the opportunity to play your girlfriend on Glee,” Demi wrote. “The character you played was groundbreaking for tons of closeted queer girls (like me at the time) and open queer girls, and your ambition and accomplishments were inspiring to Latina women all over the world.”
