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?

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”.

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. :)
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!”
