The cities, venues, and dates for the much awaited Glee concert tour have finally been revealed! They were supposed to be announced at the end of January, but better late than never! ;)

Unfortunately, they are only going to 4 different cities. Also, the tour is taking place in May, when some of the younger Gleeks will still be in school. I wish that they were going to more cities, but seeing as this is their first concert tour, they probably need to see how well it goes before they plan a giant tour. If it’s extremely successful, who knows! Maybe we’ll be getting another tour when Season 2 is airing that will stop in more cities. One can only hope! :)

Here are the details that have been announced:
May 18 – Dodge Theater, Phoenix
May 20 – Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
May 21 – Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
May 25 – Rosemont Theater, Chicago
May 26 – Rosemont Theater, Chicago
May 28 – Radio City Music Hall, New York
May 29 – Radio City Music Hall, New York

Matthew Morrison said in the past that he “likes his summer vacations” and probably wont be on the tour. Why? He might make use of the downtime and start recording his own solo album. Also, it has been reported (by EW.com) that Jane Lynch will not be attending the tour either. Hopefully, we will still be able to see all of the glee kids performing!

You can buy your tickets online at Ticketmaster.com, but as of now, only some of the dates appear. Ticket sales will officially start on March 12 for the Phoenix performance, and the tickets for the rest of the stops will go on sale the following day.

EDIT: A new tour date as been added! The Glee cast will also be performing at 3:00 PM at Radio City Music Hall. Perhaps because all the other tickets sold out the presale? xP Remember to grab some!

EW.com’s Ausiello exclusively reported that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5.

Apparently, Mrs. Obama and her daughters are big fans of the show! Since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some “lickety-split schedule rejiggering” in order to honor the request.

Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!

Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

All in all, not a bad stretch for the Glee club: Glee The Music Volume 1 just debuted at No. 1 on the UK album charts, ahead of the ubiquitous Lady Gaga!

Mark Salling (@mark_salling) and Kevin Mchale (@druidDUDE) have been tweeting from Cory Monteith’s homeland recently. Meaning, they trekked up to Vancouver to watch the Winter Olympics! Mark even got a snazzy HBC jacket like Cory’s.

Today is our very first Flashback Friday! From now on, every Friday (at least, that’s our plan), we will be bringing you a Glee-related blast from the past. It could be an old (but still awesome) Glee video/article that you may have missed. Or maybe, as is the case with today, it will be something related to a Glee cast member’s work before Glee.

For today, we’re bringing you a commercial that Cory Monteith made for Western Canada Lottery’s lotto game EXTRA. “With more than 8 million EXTRA winners in the west every year, that’s a whole lot of cheering.” At least now we know what Finn would look like in a Cheerios uniform!

Several Glee cast members have posed for photographs by Adam Bouska as part of the NOH8 Campaign – a photographic silent protest for the repeal of Proposition 8. Melody from the Glee podcast GleekSquad will be interviewing one of the organization’s founders, so be on the lookout for that. We’ll keep you updated.

Click here for more pictures of Jenna, Kevin & Jane Lynch as well as a behind the scenes video…

This March’s issue of ELLE Magazine will feature a glammed-up Glee cast, made over by the magazine’s Creative Director, Joe Zee! Check out this excerpt from the Access Hollywood article:

“Glee’s” resident starlet Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) was voted “Most Likely To Stick With The Bare Necessities,” and sports a sexy and skimpy nude-colored ensemble paired with nude heels in the spread.

Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) – “Glee’s” heartthrob – nabs the “Most Likely To Succeed Without Really Trying” honor and is styled as “chic rebellion” with a mix of preppy gear and a leather biker jacket.

Check out all the pictures & video below, and click here for the full article.

Read the rest of this post to see all the pictures in the spread as well as a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot…

Cory Monteith was spotted by a Gleek at the HBC Lounge in Canada, just in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! If you ever spot a Glee cast member, send us your picture at Rob@GleeFan.com, along with your name and where you live (optional) so that we can give you credit. :)

As you probably already know, cast members of Glee love to fool around behind the scenes – as demonstrated pretty well by Cory’s twitvids. Check them out. :) Someone around the Paramount Lot happened to witness this tomfoolery and snapped a few candid pics for our enjoyment! :) A few of these are may contain spoilers, so be warned:

Jenna and Kevin RUN!

Comedic actress Molly Shannon, who you probably know from her many years on Saturday Night Live, is being added to the list of Glee’s famous guest stars! She will be playing Brenda Castle, McKinley’s new “busty” 45-year-old astronomy teacher and badminton coach. Also, she’s a raging alcoholic and pill-popper. Yay! She sounds like a hilarious addition to McKinley’s supply of crazy sports coaches.

Her character will really be getting under Sue’s nails in the back nine, so expect a new passenger on the “Sue Sylvester Express. Destination: Horror.” Do you think we’ll be getting a showdown between the Cheerios and the badminton coaches? I hope so!

Sources have revealed to us that as of today, Shannon is not going to be singing in the episode, despite her frequent singing in SNL sketches when she was a series regular. Also, she has only been written into one episode to date, scheduled to air in May, but we might be seeing more of her if all goes well. Get on that, Molly Shannon fans!

Here’s a sneak peek of filming for a basketball scene in an upcoming episode in the back 9 of Glee!

I found some video footage that somebody leaked online, and so I edited together this video for you guys. See if you can spot Cory Monteith (Finn) and Mark Salling (Puck) on the court. Enjoy! :)

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.

… 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…)

Lea presented the award for “Best Female Pop Vocal” at the 52nd Annual Grammy awards tonight! Here are some pics and videos of her on the red carpet, in E!’s 360 Glam Cam, and lastly, presenting! Or, you can download them all in HD. :)

Her interview with Ryan Secrest.

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!”
