Sources were originally reporting that Mr. Shue would shave his head in protest of New Directions perfoming Britney’s music. It appears that part of the episode was meant to be a surprise, but is no longer happening now that everyone knows. Whoops!

Heather Morris tells Access Hollywood at the Teen Choice Awards: “I guess they’re deciding not to do it now because it was supposed to be the surprise…then Ryan got wind that everybody found out and he was like, ‘I don’t think we can do it anymore because now it’s out’.”

Matthew Morrison added that if the head-shaving happened anyway, he would actually shave his head, instead of using a double or a head cap. “I’d have to shave it ‘cause then it wouldn’t make sense with the rest of the series,” Matthew said. Glad he’s thinking about continuity!

He could totally pull it off though. “I’m so hot,” he kidded, “I did it a couple of years ago for a movie and I like it.”

Heather joked about having Britney shave her own head for the episode. She said she’d opt for the bald cap. I would too.

Mr. Schuester Likely Won’t Shave His Head For Britney Episode

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Ryan Murphy revealed that Britney Spears herself will in fact be making a cameo in her tribute episode! “I think Britney, 100 percent, is going to be on the episode,” he tells Seacrest this morning. It doesn’t get more confirmed than that!

Britney’s role in the episode was covered as well. Apparently, the glee kids are denied performing Britney by an obstinate Mr. Shue. When when they take a visit to John Stamos (the dentist), the anesthesia creates a hallucinogenic musical explosion starring Britney herself!

In regards to how Britney’s darker days will be handled, including the head-shaving: “[This episode] is so reverential, so kind and about her music,” Ryan says. “We’re handling Britney with kids gloves.”

Heather Morris (whose character Brittany will be performing in the episode) almost got wind of the Britney cameo beforehand. When asked about it, she remarked, “I hope so, somebody keeps teasing me and telling me she is coming. Oh my gosh, I would be so nervous. Not really, I would be excited.”

Are you loving this Britney news as much as I am?! Feel free to scream/fangirl/speculate in the comment section!

I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!

New Characters:

• Kurt gets a boyfriend. An “everyday guy.” He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
• A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
• Sam Elliot will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
• Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
• Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
• Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
• Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
• John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
• Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
• Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?

*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.

The news has just broke out on a deal involving a potential Glee guest star! Be prepared for a spoiler alert!  John Stamos is in negotiations to play Emma Pillsbury’s dentist boyfriend. According to Michael Ausiello from EW.com, they are nearing a deal, so don’t be surprised to see the former Full House star on our beloved show! The irony lies within Emma Pillsbury’s quote:  “They say it takes certainty more than talent to make a star. I mean, look at John Stamos.” Emma said this quote during an Acafellas scene, in which she tried to cheer Will up due to the Glee members wanting to hire Dakota Stanley.

John Stamos is known for his starring role on Full House as Uncle Jessie and also has some Broadway credits under his belt. If the negotiations go through, you can definitely bet on a sing-off for our lovely Emma Pillsbury’s hand!

Update: E! Online has confirmed that John Stamos will most definitely be guest starring on Glee next season.

We have some sneak peeks for the next episode of Glee, “Laryngitis“, where a lot of things get shaken up. Here’s a bit of a teaser description from the official Fox press release:

When a sore throat affects Rachel’s singing voice, she goes into panic mode. Meanwhile, Kurt tries to change his persona to impress his father, and Puck makes a strategic move to elevate his social status in the all-new “Laryngitis” episode of GLEE airing Tuesday, May 11 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

First, we have the promo which aired after “Bad Reputation”:

And then two exciting sneak peeks of scenes in the episode:

Shelly recently got to go to the taping for the season finale, titled “Journey” – a reference to the show’s first hit single “Don’t Stop Believin’”. At the end of her report, there are scans of the programs that were given to everyone in the audience, so check that out before reading Shelly‘s highlights from the cast Q&A’s! Enjoy!

On Wednesday, April 21st, I went to the taping of “Journey,” the Season 1 finale of Glee! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this, so just to clarify again, the taping was only for the performances at Regionals. As much as I wish I did, I have no idea what happens in the episode beyond that. However, there are some slight spoilers in this, so if you don’t want to know anything that happens at Regionals, stop reading! For those of you who do want to know, read on, and make sure you go all the way to the end for the Q&As with the cast.

The filming took place at Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, which seats about 1400 people and is where the Glee PaleyFest screening and panel were last month. I arrived at the theatre at 9 am and was first in line, surprisingly. The next group didn’t show up until around 11, but going early was worth it because I got to see a lot of set pieces and props outside, as well the members of Vocal Adrenaline hanging around the theatre. And while I was waiting, Jonathan Groff hopped out of a van parked right in front of me! He was wearing – wait for it… a hot pink shirt with black suspenders and slacks, just like all of the other VA guys. Surprise surprise.

At around 2 pm, they started letting us in and seated all of the “invited audience” in the balcony. I managed to snag a program (scans at the end), and since I was first in line, I got to sit in the front row, center! (So look for an Asian girl in plaid when the episode airs. :P) Once we were in, we got to watch VA perform their number for Regionals. All six minutes of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. Their performance was full of crazy jumps, flips, throws, spins, etc. Believe me when I say that it was EPIC. As much as I love New Directions (more on their performance later), I have to say that they didn’t compare to Vocal Adrenaline. They filmed the audience waving glow sticks, rocking out, swaying, and giving a standing ovation. While they were filming, Jane Lynch was watching from the audience, and Ryan Murphy was directing from the side of the theatre. They announced that the four judges for Regionals would be Josh Groban, Olivia Newton-John, Sue Sylvester(!), and Rod Remington (played by Bill Jones), so that explains why Jane was there.

Soon after they finished filming VA, they announced that New Directions would be performing for us. They came out in black and gold outfits – simple, but sharp. After some more waiting (they had to set up the lighting and rehearse a bit), they were finally ready to start filming. They first did several takes of the audience reacting to the announcement of the winner of Regionals. This was all done very ambiguously so that we wouldn’t know who the winner actually was, which I definitely appreciated because I for one don’t want to be spoiled just yet. They did a couple of neutral shots, and then a “winning” shot, where the cast totally goofed off – it was hilarious. Kevin jumped out of his wheel chair and started running around, Cory was rolling on the ground out of joy, etc.

We just got these descriptions for some upcoming Glee episodes. If you don’t want to know what the episode plots are, don’t read ahead! :)

When a salacious list about members of the glee club circulates the halls of McKinley High, Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) begins an investigation. Meanwhile, Sue (Jane Lynch) is mortified when a video of her rendition of Olivia Newton-John’s classic “Physical” is unearthed. Special guest stars include Olivia Newton-John, Molly Shannon and Jonathan Groff.

May 11
GLEE (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “Laryngitis”

Rachel (Lea Michele) panics when a sore throat affects her singing; Kurt (Chris Colfer) tries to change his persona to impress his father (guest star Mike O’Malley); and Puck (Mark Salling) makes a strategic move to elevate his social status.

May 18
GLEE (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “Dream On”

In an episode directed by Emmy Award winner Joss Whedon (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Dollhouse”), Mr. Schuester’s former high school nemesis (guest star Neil Patrick Harris) causes trouble for the glee club. Rachel struggles with a life-long personal issue, and Artie’s (Kevin McHale) dreams take him on an adventure. Additional guest stars include Molly Shannon, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff.

May 25
GLEE (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “Funk”

Mr. Schuester thinks he’s scored the upper hand over Sue, but learns hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Quinn (Dianna Agron) connects with her “funky” side.

Always a reliable source, Ausiello released a few new Glee spoilers involving further elaboration on the tragic twist for Puck. Fear not, readers: he’s not losing any limbs! Thank whatever diety you worship.

Also, word on the street is that Puck’s getting ANOTHER love interest. We’re saying it here first: we bet it’s Mercedes!

Question: I came home for spring break to find that my mother had sold my Smurf collection on eBay. The only thing that could make me feel better is little Glee scoop. —Blake

Ausiello: My partner tried to do the same thing with my collection. He’s now missing something very near and dear to him. Coincidence? I think not. Onto the Glee scoop, there’s an episode coming up in which Puck gets paired up with someone new — resulting in a musical tug-of-war for his attention. Guesses? Hit the comments!

Question: Please help out a worried Gleek. Your frenemy put out a spoiler that there is a seriously sad twist ahead for Puck on Glee. Can you spill anything? —Erin

Ausiello: Only that it doesn’t involve him losing a limb or a relative. “It’s Glee tragic,” clarifies executive producer Brad Falchuk. “He’s not going to lose an arm. No family member will pass away. He will get some news that is very surprising that will have a very big effect on his life.”

Question: Can you pppllleeeaasssee figure out what’s going on with the Glee season 2 casting call? ‘Cause I am majorly confused. —Sandra

Ausiello: I’m told there’s been a slight delay. Look for another announcement with additional details next week.

Thanks to the latest update from E! Online’s Kristin, we now know for a fact that Artie will be hopping out of his wheelchair to bust a few moves! Sadly, there will be no Easter miracle for our favorite paraplegic, but Kevin Mchale will get to show off some of his moves in a great, great dream sequence.

Also: Updates on the Lady Gaga episode, Quinn’s baby, and the Finn/Rachel and Puckleberry story arcs!

Randall: What’s the latest on Glee?

Just that I nearly suffered cardiac arrest after hearing this from a source on set: “Artie (Kevin McHale) was walking and dancing around with the rest of the cast…out of his wheelchair!” After breathing into a paper bag and doing some sleuthing, I can tell you that Glee is not going to send Artie to a mysterious island with a smoke monster where he can be healed and magically walk (à la Terry O’Quinn’s John Locke on Lost), but yes, we will see him out of his wheelchair dancing. According to this source, episode 18 is about Artie wanting to walk, and he has a dream in which he dances around with the rest of the cast. Then everything goes back to how it was before. It should be fun to see Kevin McHale’s fancy (Or not? We’ll see.) footwork for the first time, no?

Marty: When will we find out about Quinn’s baby and where she will go?

Not until the end of this season, according to boss Ryan Murphy. “You’ve got to wait until the season finale to find out how we’re gonna do that,” Ryan tells me. “In the first 13, we had a lot of baby pregnancy stuff. We had a lot of storylines, and I think fans liked that, but they wanted more fun. They wanted more music, so we are dealing with that, but in a sparing way.”

Marlene in Idaho: What can you tell me about Finn and Rachel, or Puck and Rachel?

Well, Lea Michele told my friend Marc Malkin that Rachel’s “heart is with Finn” (yay!), so that’s definitely good news for you Finn and Rachel shippers. As for Puck and Rachel, I’m hearing rumblings of a very sad twist for Puck (Mark Salling) that’s so serious I don’t even want to hint at it for fear I’ll cry.

Tracy in Tallahassee, Fla.: Any more scoop on the Lady Gaga episode of Glee?

Just that if you’re a fan of Gaga, you’re going to be a fan of the Glee episode because all of those wackadoodle costumes she dons on a daily basis are going to be included in the ep. We’d kill to see Sue Sylvester waltzing around in a leotard with some sort of gigantic contraption on her head à la Gaga, wouldn’t you? Or better yet, Mr. Schue.

Ausiello‘s back with his exclusive Glee spoilers – this time, bearing some great news on the Will/Emma/Terri love triangle, further elaboration on Molly Shannon’s character, and FINALLY some closure on the Quinn pregnancy arc! READ BELOW, or Click here to read the original article!

Question: Have any Glee scoop on the Will/Emma/Terri triangle? —Ashley

Ausiello: Not just scoop, Ashley, but juicy scoop. As Matthew Morrison reminds us, his character “got married to his high school sweetheart, [so having] not been single for a very long time, I think he will get out there and see what is available to the single man these days.” That’s just the beginning! “I think we will see a little bit of a darker side to Mr. Schuster,” the actor continues. “He’s going to get himself into some situations that he has not been in before, and some he handles well and some… not.” Which is not to say that Mr. Nice Guy is about to become a complete ladies’ man. “His heart is really with Emma,” he hastens to add. “They will go on a few dates. [But] you just don’t get over a marriage in a few days, even if you do go out on dates.” Besides, Emma, sweet as she is, is a handful. “Terri is crazy, but he will come to find out that Emma is just as crazy, just in a different way,” Morrison teases. “He has that realization after she admits something to him that may stand in their way a little. And [on top of that] his ties to Terri are still there.” In related news…

Question: Glee scoop, please? —Dew

Ausiello: Word around William McKinley is that there will be some serious sexual tension between Will and Vocal Adrenalin’s new choir director, played by Idina Menzel.

Question: Do you know when Molly Shannon will be making her glorious Glee debut? I can’t wait to meet the woman who makes Sue Sylvester cry. —Michelle

Ausiello: She turns up in May and promptly “puts Sue in her place,” Jane Lynch told us at PaleyFest ‘10. “She’s probably the only person probably on the planet that can overpower Sue. She really puts her off balance and she doesn’t know what to make of her.” Echoing my initial scoop, Lynch says the SNL vet plays “this floozy alcoholic [named] Brenda Castle who got kicked out of her old school district for being inappropriate with her students. She’s teaching at our school now. Of course, we hired her. We’ll take anyone apparently. I lose it in front of her. She’s meaner than me. I like being intimidated. I’m an S&M kind of person so I love it. I love being on the M side.” Jane Lynch FTW!

Question: Will Quinn have her baby in the first half of Glee’s “back nine” episodes, or is it something they’ll drag on until next season? —Natalie

Ausiello: Let me say this: I hear the the show’s June 8 season finale really delivers.

Whew! So much Glee news been going around lately, hasn’t there? It’s getting hard to keep track of it all…but that’s why we’re here! :) Thanks to Kristin, Ausiello, PaleyFest, and all the fansites out there, there’s a cornucopia (SAT word!) of new info floating around! Here are three videos where the cast dishes on all the new guest stars and talk about what’s to come!

ZAP2it’s Korbi with another first person POV interview with Cory Montieth! I love her. Don’t you love her?

Another favorite: Kristin! Watch as she presses ever-popular Cory for info on Finn/Rachel.

Finally, Entertainment Tonight’s coverage of PaleyFest, where the stars talk about Molly Shannon and NPH! Hazzah! (Thanks to GleekCast for the upload!)

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!

According to some leaked casting calls for the back nine, we can expect to see a new character in Episode 1.17, titled “Laryngitis“, which will me filming from February 23rd to March 4th.

The character is named Shawn, and they’re casting people ages 18 to 25 for the guest star role. He’ll be a high school Senior who was injured and is now a paraplegic. He’s described as “a cute, funny jock type.” It’ll be interesting to see another paraplegic in the school since Artie has mentioned that he’s not the only kid in a wheelchair at the school, but we haven’t seen anyone else yet.

Also, in episode 15, “Home“, we’ll see Tracy Pendergrass, a 30 to 40 year old African American guy who is a hip and cool journalist and Peter Gow, who is a 40 something year old male Asian lawyer with a dry sense of humor. There are two laid back movers for an Ohio moving company, Leroy and Guy, who are both big, built dudes. Lastly, there’s a Nurse in a local hospital. She is sweet, pleasantly plump, and described as “very Ohio”.

… 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…)

According to Lea Michele and several other sources (including @UltimateGleeks), Idina Menzel is hard at work on the set of Glee as we speak!

It’s been officially confirmed that Idina is playing the coach of Vocal Adrenaline. She will be appearing early in the back nine and reprising her role for the season finale.

Rumors were rampant of what part she was to play, specifically rumors of her playing Rachel’s biological mother, for obvious reasons. There is an eerie resemblance between the two, and creator Ryan Murphy has taken note. But, as reported by Ausiello, it’s doubtful her character will turn out to be Rachel’s biological mother.

Another source claims that Idina and Matthew Morrison, who play the coaches of Vocal Adrenaline and New Directions respectively, will even have a make-out scene! I dunno, crazy enough to believe?! You decide.
