Dot-Marie Jones Dishes On Crazy Emmy Nomination & Fractured Foot

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Dot-Marie Jones who plays gruff-on-the-outside/soft-on-the-inside Coach Beiste on Glee still cant believe her hard work on the hit show has earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. I looked at all who was entered in to be nominated and stuff, and its like, I cant believe Im one of them, a grateful Dot-Marie told Access Hollywood at the Los Angeles premiere of Glee: The 3-D Concert Movie in Westwood, Calif., on Saturday night. And the six [actresses] that are in our category [are] crazy! Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristen Chenoweth, Cloris Leachman and Elizabeth Banks and Tina Fey, who I love to death from Saturday Night Live. So, you know how people say its just an honor to be nominated? To be in that group --are you kidding me? I just want to have lunch with them and Im good, she continued. I just want to sit and have lunch. Despite a nearly 20-year career in television, the recently-earned nomination marks Dot-Maries first Emmy nod, and the 47year-old actress revealed she suffered an unfortunate foot accident that may force her to alter her planned wardrobe for the prestigious ceremony. I just fractured a bone in my foot last night, so Im gonna have to rethink what Im gonna wear, she told Access when asked if shed picked a dress for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air on September 18. Im gonna totally do a pantsuit or something. Im not the dress-wearing [type]. I havent worn a dress since I had to, and that was, I think, graduation. As for her foot fracture, Dot-Marie explained that she had recently been experiencing swelling in the lateral part of her foot a symptom of bigger problem to come. I was going out of the house last night [and] I took like, five steps and I heard this loud pop, she told Access. I fractured a bone on the outside of my foot right down from my little pinky toe.
