- Jennifer Lopez will play a lunch lady and have a sort of “Susan Boyle” moment.

- Kristin Chenoweth will be reprising her role as April Rhodes in an episode in the back nine.

Here’s a GleeFan.com & @UltimateGleeks exclusive:

Remember hearing that one of the roles to be cast for Season 2 is a boyfriend for Kurt? Remember the second role of a soulful (but not necessarily black) male Mercedes? Guess what! They are one in the same! The same character, people!

Trust me, we’ll be expecting some drama between Kurt and Mercedes. Will they be fighting over him? Maybe Mercedes gets a little jealous that Kurt’s spending more time with a boy than he is with her… (Bust Your Windows Part 2, anyone?)

Which means, the there are two roles remaining, and we’re telling you exclusively that both of them are female! The first is an antagonistic nemesis against Rachel, as previously announced. As we know, Rachel does not like to sing backup, so what happens when someone as equally talented and beautiful joins the glee club? Trouble!
Also, there will be another New Directions antagonist for a different character, but we won’t say who just yet. Everything’s been pretty easy for the glee club now that they have some jocks and Cheerios on their side, but expect that all to change in Season 2.

Make sure to follow me on Twitter (@GleekRob) as well as @UltimateGleeks as the spoilers unfold. ;)

It’s only about 20 seconds long, but at around 0:52 Adam Lambert greets and talks to Lea Michele about possibly being on Glee!

Fun fact: Adam Lambert auditioned for Glee but was told he was too old.

In a hilarious Glee parody on The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy comes up with a plan to raise the money the show needs to buy cue cards. In order to win the prize money from sectionals, they form a glee club! The whole thing is hilarious, but my favorite part is the performance at the end.

Thanks to Melody from GleekSquad for the tip!

… and this is why we love them. XD
Thanks to Cory Montieth (@frankenteen) for tweeting this with twitvid!

Update: Here’s another of them walking in slow motion. This time, they’re in costume. Pay special attention to what Amber and Chris are wearing… spoiler!
Edit: It looks like Cory already deleted his tweet for the video, but hasn’t deleted it from twitvid yet. I bet someone gets in trouble for this! (Good thing I downloaded a copy of the video already! Hehe…)

Starry Constellation Magazine has interviewed a lot of the cast members of Glee before, and their latest features Iqbal Theba, who you probably know as the hilarious Principal Figgins. The interview has a couple light spoilers, and I really enjoyed it! Definitely take the time to read it. :)

They’ll be interviewing Josh Sussman (who plays Jacob Ben Israel) next, so send them your questions if you have any!

Q. Where do you draw from for your portrayal of Principal Figgins?

A. Basically I read the script and just tried to get the feeling for it. I also knew Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk because I had done “Nip/Tuck” for them before “Glee.” I knew their sensibility and what they want and then accordingly I read it. I also go by my gut feeling, wherever my gut takes me, I go. He’s very different from the guy that I played in “Nip/Tuck,” that guy was much more self assured and arrogant. Figgins is somebody who wanted to be a CEO, but is not for some reason, whatever it may be. He wanted to be rich like Lee Iacoca or somebody but now he has to live with the fact that he is a principal at a small town high school. It kind of shows on his body and the language he uses and the way he acts. I thought he’s a guy who wanted to be somebody big but he’s not and now he has to deal with it. He has to deal with all of these trivial things on a daily basis, like money, the students, the teachers, and Sue, they come at him with the speed of light. I think of all of that and try to incorporate it in my behavior and just play it and basically just say the words. It’s written so well, it’s written really, really well.

Q. The back nine episodes will begin airing in April, what can you tell us will be happening with the show and with your character?

A. We don’t really read beyond one or two episodes. I don’t think any of the cast members have any idea what’s going to happen in the number seven or eight or nine episodes. I know Jane Lynch puts me in an awkward situation, I can’t really tell you much, I don’t think I am supposed to. It becomes really embarrassing for the principal again. It’s going to be really interesting, poor Figgins has to suffer at the hands of Sue. Figgins new found power from the last episode that aired isn’t going to last too long.

The latest Glee buzz is that Cory Monteith is going out with none other than music superstar (and Grammy winner) Taylor Swift. Keep in mind, this hasn’t been confirmed by anyone, so we’re keeping it in the rumor mill for now.

Earlier, on January 29th, the two were spotted having a ‘diner date’ at Jerry’s Deli. Now they’ve been photographed together again, this time at a pre-Grammy party hosted by Clive Davis, as shown here.

Some blogs have pointed out that they started following each other on Twitter at about the same time, but that doesn’t exactly scream suspicious to me… Then again, Taylor Swift is single (adiós, Taylor Lautner) as is Cory Monteith, which he had to point out numerous times when fending off rumors of an off-screen relationship between him and co-star Lea Michele. Other than a bit of an age gap (Taylor being 20 and Cory being 27), they could make a pretty cute couple!

What do you think about the latest rumored pairing? More importantly, which sounds beter… Tory or Caylor? My personal favorite is Cortay. xD

Update: The Gossip Cop is reporting that the two “have been on a few dates.” But is it anything serious? Also, Taylor Swift told E!, “I’m really loving Glee right now… If it did happen, I’d love to see what they would do with me.” I don’t know about you, but I think that Ryan Murphy would be able to come up with some way to creatively work Taylor into the show for an episode or two. It certainly would bring in the viewers!

A few weeks ago, Ausiello revealed two of the three new roles which will be cast in the the nationwide casting search. One was a jock boyfriend for Kurt, the second was an “Eve Harrington-esque” rival for Rachel The third has just been revealed – it’s a male Mercedes!

“The third role is an R&B-singing teen. A male Mercedes!” Says Ryan Murphy to Ausiello.

Excited yet, gleeks?! Well, chances are this character could be a love interest for Mercedes as well as her male counterpart. Ausiello cleverly hid the spoiler beneath asterisks – but we decoded it for you. :) “Kurt isn’t the only seemingly celibate Glee character getting a love interest next season!”
