From the upcoming January 31 Michael Jackson episode.
In related news, Matt Bomer – hunky star of White Collar and the upcoming Magic Mike movie – is close to a deal to guest on GLEE as Darren Criss’ brother. AND it looks like he will be singing.
From BroadwayWorld: There have been many questions and rumors regarding the fate of three of GLEE’s main characters: Rachel (played by Broadway veteran Lea Michele), Finn (Cory Monteith) and Kurt (Chris Colfer).
GLEE creator Ryan Murphy had stated that he was looking into a spinoff for the trio, but according to TV Line, Fox Entertainment’s president Kevin Reilly now says that “There will not be a Glee spinoff, but those characters will graduate.”
That doesn’t, as previously speculated, mean that the characters won’t be returning. “It’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season,” Reilly says.
He also confirms that Lea Michele and Cory Monteith would be back for a fourth season, but admits that co-star Chris Colfer may not be. “What I said before is creatively, we’d want everybody back. I’ve got to look at the contractual situation for all of those. And we will.”
Now in it’s third season, since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors including the Golden Globe and Peabody Award and singlehandedly made glee clubs cool again.
Ever wonder what the “hottest Spanish teacher ever in the history of Ohio” looks like?
The Latin heartthrob Tweeted a picture from the set of the hit TV show on Thursday night, at once teasing and hitting our Glee-spots. “First day!” wrote Ricky alongside the pic.
Rumor has it Ricky will appear in at least two musical numbers in an episode that will air later this month.
Now that Sam has returned to McKinley High and “Glee” is addressing his summer romance with Mercedes, it seems pretty fitting that the former couple would cover the most famous showtune about seasonal loves — “Grease’s” “Summer Nights.”
The “Glee” version, which just leaked online, is pretty faithful to the original, with the respective New Directions members spilling all to their groups of friends.
Check out the tune before it’s pulled from YouTube.
How excited you are for “Glee” to go “Grease” on Tuesday, Jan. 17?
In the upcoming episode of GLEE, the newly formed Troubletones perform a powerhouse mash-up of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and Destiny’ Child’s “Survivor.”
In a sneak peek clip, Mercedes (Amber Riley), Santana (Naya Rivera) and the rest of the Troubletones tackle a mash-up of Adele’s “Rumour Has It” and “Someone Like You,” which is also the show’s 300th musical performance.
Both songs are from Adele’s “21” which is the biggest selling album in the world this year.
There are fathers who deal with their straight sons exactly how they always thought they would.
There are fathers who don’t know what to do when they “discover” their sons are gay.
Then, there’s this guy.
It may sound trite, but this TV “dad” is saving some kids lives. This character gives hope that some young gay and lesbian kids can be who they are without fear.
If you’re a parent, how do you think you would handle your child coming out?
How would you hope to handle your child coming out?
How do you think your gay child hopes you may handle it?
And last question, what difference does it make to you if your child is gay?
TV Line’s Michael Ausiello has dumped a number of big spoilers from Glee’s upcoming sex-themed episode, which promises some groundbreaking gay events.
Gleeks MUST tune in for next week’s episode of Glee, called “The First Time.”
No sooner does Grant Gustin’s gay Warbler debut than he sets his sights on Blaine. He’s got charisma to spare and tons of chemistry with Darren Criss.
When Sebastian invites Kurt and Blaine out to local gay haunt Scandal, Kurt runs into his old nemesis at the bar. Apparently, transferring to a new school has done wonders for the bully’s disposition. He’s mellowed out considerably and coming to grips with his sexuality. It’s my favorite scene of the episode and should fire up those Kurt-Karofsky ‘shippers out there (and I know you’re out there).
Entertainment Weekly’s Tim Stack also writes up the episode:
“It’s all handled very delicately and is incredibly moving. I can’t think of another network series that’s taken a teenage gay relationship so far or been so progressive. The moment is instigated when another teen, Warbler member Sebastian (Grant Gustin), aggressively pursues Blaine. The trio actually have a very amusing triple date to West Lima’s only gay bar Scandals and run into none other than Karofsky (Max Adler). Look for a great moment between Karofsky and Kurt.”
Blaine and Rachel singing from West Side Story. Just because I love the music from West Side Story so much.
Jonathan Groff is bringing Jesse St. James back to Glee later this season, but there’s a twist — and a juicy one at that: The student has now become the teacher!
At an event celebrating the show’s 300th musical performance on Wednesday, exec producer Ryan Murphy revealed that Groff will appear in multiple episodes as the coach of New Directions’ rival choir Vocal Adrenaline.
Murphy added that Glee Project runner-up Alex Newell would ” have many scenes” with Groff.
