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.

Today, a Beehive TV Buzz reader posted their lucky encounter with the very set of Glee, who were filming at a local Target! They even got the once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness an adorbs Artie/Tina scene in person! Click here for the original article.

GLEE: Only in LA…who knew that a quick run to my friendly neighborhood Target would yield such a wonderful surprise? I go for dishwasher liquid and end up walking right onto the open set of GLEE!! I’m a huge fan, and I have to admit even for a city girl that was pretty cool! It was a shopping mall scene between Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) and Artie (Kevin Mchale)…

SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you don’t want to know!

In this particular scene, Tina exchanges an anxious look with Artie…and then Tina helps Artie stand up from his wheelchair!!!! Is it possible that Artie’s future won’t include a wheelchair?? We can only speculate, but what a great new twist. I can’t wait to find out.
Whatever they do, as long as they keep the music amazing, this girl will be tuning in!!! Upcoming guests include Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Idina Menzel and more!!

Which guest are you most excited about seeing this season???

Editor’s Note: This info isn’t 100% confirmed, but it’s definitely something to think about! Eyes and ears open, Gleeks!

Did I mention I LOVE Korbi?!

ZAP2it’s Korbi is releasing a new Glee interview from PaleyFest EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! Today she unveiled this great, great interview with Chris, talking about his love for Finn and how easy it is to feel sorry for his character. Read the full story at KorbiTV and watch the video below! :)

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!)

So, Michael Ausiello just posted the date for the final episode of Glee, which will be Tuesday, June 8 at 9 pm/ET. Excited yet??

What do you think will happen in the finale? Will Quinn give birth? Will New Directions take on Vocal Adrenaline? Will the Glee universe implode?! Post in the comments your predictions!

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!

After Entertainment Tonight’s aired an exclusive preview for the back 9 of Glee, I was given this version of the preview to post here! To be honest, this clip is infinitely better since you actually get to hear the music they’re singing, instead of the Entertainment Tonight host’s voice over.

It is full of clips from the upcoming Madonna episode and you can even see guest star Jonathan Groff as the lead singer in Vocal Adrenaline! Exciting! :D

So what do you guys think? Did you see Rachel’s “Team Finn” t-shirt? Hilarious! xD

Note: This clip will expire in a week, but hopefully it will be on Fox’s YouTube account soon!

Check out this interview with Jennifer Lopez where she talks about her upcoming guest appearance on Glee. She says that she would be willing to give them her entire catalog to work with because she’s a huge fan of the show herself. Awesome! Do you think we’ll have a JLo episode somewhere in Season 2?

According to their official blog, the Vitamin String Quartet has come out with seven instrumental versions of songs performed by the cast of Glee!

Tracklist:
1) Defying Gravity
2) Don’t Stop Believin’
3) Somebody to Love
4) Imagine
5) Gold Digger
6) Papa Don’t Preach
7) It’s My Life

They are available for download on iTunes.

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”.
