Brie already has a cult-like following of devoted fans thanks to her role as the innocent-but-spunky Annie Edison on NBC’s hit comedy “Community,” but lately she has been dabbling in musical courtesy of her work with The Girls – a pop trio she recently formed with two of her best friends, fellow actresses Cyrina Fiallo and Julianna Guill (who have both popped up on “Community” as well).
Fortunately, Brie is just as nice as her “Community” character, as she was willing to chat with MTV News on the phone a bit about her new group and how they came to be. When...
