10 Behind-the-Scenes ‘Glee’ Secrets Naya Rivera Reveals in Her New Memoir

She chose to sing Destiny's Child's "Emotion" when she auditioned for the show.

Also, since Santana didn't have any lines in the pilot she had to read Mercedes', which were about having to get the bad smell out of polyester.

Kevin McHale cracked everyone up on set by making funny faces.

"He did this one character he called Phil, where he'd contort his face until he looked weird and creepy. In the middle of scenes, Kevin would have his back to you, but then he'd turn around and there was Phil," she wrote. "Every time he did it, I thought Jenna Ushkowitz would pee her pants she laughed so hard."

Her least favorite scene to shoot was when she had to kiss the boy with mono.

"One: we were shooting first thing in the morning. Two: they kept spritzing him with glycerin so he'd look extra icky and sweaty. Three: actual, real DNA-containing spit kept transferring from his lip to mine on every single take, and I swear he was doing it on purpose," she wrote.

Naya's mom screamed when she saw Santana and Brittany's steamy kiss before their wedding.

"[My mom] thought I really had stuck my tongue down Heather's throat. (FYI: I didn't. The trick is to go in with an open mouth, then close it as soon as you make contact)," she wrote.

Jenna and Kevin became real-life roommates during the second season of Glee.

The entire cast would go over there to hang out and started calling it the "Love Nest."

"We nicknamed it the Love Next, after a tabloid rumor claimed that Kevin and Jenna were dating and had 'shacked up in a Laurel Canyon love nest,'" she revealed.

Remember when Santana took Finn's virginity in "Like a Virgin"? Well, that scene was super awkward to film.

At the time, Naya and Cory didn't know each other that well and they were so nervous that they kept having to redo the scene.

"[Cory] was supposed to chase me around the bed and pick me up and spin me, but I think he was a little hot-and-bothered/nervous about the whole thing, because everything was a little off. Instead of a slow spin, he picked me up awkwardly and turned around so fast that I practically got whiplash," she revealed.

Dianna and Naya went to Paris together on their days off during the Glee Europe tour.

The girls were really close friends and did everything together.

"[In Paris], Dianna wore a pink wig the whole time, and talked to everyone and got us into all these swanky places — not because anyone knew who we were, but just because she worked her magic on them and charmed us right past past the velvet ropes," Naya revealed.

Naya was in London when she found out about Cory's passing.

Telly Kousakis, a production assistant on Glee who became besties with the cast, was the one who called her to tell her. After she hung up, she called Kevin McHale and they sat on the phone together all night and just cried.

Mike O'Malley wrote Naya a heartfelt note while they were filming "The Quarterback" in remembrance of Cory Monteith.

"Mike O'Malley wrote me a very sweet note, telling me how he felt that people looked up to me on set, and that I needed to be extra strong to help pull everyone else through it. That was really comforting, and I tried, Mike, I tried," she said.

Naya says Glee changed her life and a lot of the cast members are now like her second family.

"We started the show as a ragtag group of misfits, and six seasons later, when we filmed the last episode, we were still the same bunch of misfits. Just now wearing more expensive jeans," she wrote.
