Since the beginning of the Back Nine, the Glee Flash Mob phenomenon has been rising. You can view all of the previous flash mobs from Italy, Spain, Seattle, and Ohio State University here. So, enjoy, dance, and Glee forever!
Remember Dream On? Were you, like me, mesmerized by Neil Patrick Harris’ face and the unbelievably smart, witty direction? You can blame those cramps in your sides on the legendary Joss Whedon, writer-director extraordinaire, who was invited by Ryan Murphy to direct the entire episode. He’s applied these directing chops to several other television series, like Dollhouse, Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and Firefly. I’m posting today to tell you about the amazing world of Firefly you may or may not be missing out on. If you’re into Glee, Sci-Fi, westerns, Nathan Fillon, or heck, if all you have is an appreciation for good writing, you’ll fall in love with Firefly just like I did.

On May 3rd, 2010 at around 12:35 PM, students and staff of Ohio State broke out into dance in the great hall of the new Ohio Union. I think this may be my favorite Glee flashmob to date!
I get a ton of news submissions every day, but one from a week or so ago really caught my attention. A GleeFan.com reader named Jillian emailed me, telling me that there was an unofficial Glee book out that contained “everything you need to know” about Glee. I made a mental note to check it out the next time I was at a bookstore. A few days later, I found myself killing time while browsing at Barnes and Noble, and low and behold, they actually had the exact Glee book that Jillian had told me about! Instantly, I was beyond impressed with Glee: Totally Unofficial – The Ultimate Guide to the Smash-Hit High School Musical, and it only got better from there.
The entire book reads like a magazine, while maintaining the high quality of a paperback book. Every page is a glossy print, full of bright, beautiful photos of the cast and crew. The text is an assortment of fun fonts that really tie together the whole package and make it pop. While the physical make of the book is great, what’s even better is the content.
The book is split up into five main parts. The first section is called Center Stage and it talks about the shows creation and societal trends that may explain why the show itself was so warmly accepted by the public. For me, the highlights of this chapter are getting to read what Ryan Murphy has said about his vision for Glee, taking the ‘Are you a Gleek?’ quiz, and reading about the cast’s reaction to the show’s success.
The second section is titled Casting Call, and it is the bulk of the book. It breaks down into subsections for each cast member and their respective character on Glee. These must have taken ages to write, because they feature a collection of quotes and information from many different sources while working in a ton of large, colorful photos of each cast member. To be honest, I thought I knew everything about Glee, but some of it was even new to me! However, one part that was not new to me was a quote from Amber Riley talking about how she’s a homebody who loves chillin’ at home. That quote, along with a bit about how Amber would love to use one of her own original songs on the show, came from GleeFan.com’s Exclusive Q&A with her. They even credited the Q&A at the back of the book in their bibliography. Another one of my favorite parts of this section is where they’ve collected some of the funniest quotes from each character on the show and included them in a ‘Say Anything…’ box in each actor/character’s section. They also mention their Twitter accounts and incorporate some of their favorite tweets from each cast member. They’re hilarious!
Sing, Sing a Song is the clever title for the third section of the book, all about the music industry’s effect on Glee and vice versa. This section talks about all things musical, from the OMGlee event in NYC where DJ Raymond played Glee hits all night, to how Broadway and musical theater as a whole have heavily affected Glee. They even talk about some of Glee’s most famous fans, most of which are musicians.
Of course, every good guide book needs a chapter of spoilers and speculations, and Into the Future is just that. This section serves as a roundup for all the spoilers we know about not only the back nine, but also Season 2. Additionally, it includes a list of who they think would be great guest stars in the future and why. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who wants to see Queen Latifah on the show. Make sure to check it out!
Lastly, my favorite chapter of all (you’ll see why) is Fan the Flames. This chapter is all about the Glee fandom and where you can go to find the latest Glee gossip. It talks about a long list of popular sites including EW’s The Ausiello Files and E!’s Watch with Kristin. It even mentions a Glee fansite which you can go to if you want to read the latest “news about the show and the actors who play our favorite ‘New Directions’ show choir.” Which fan site might that be? Well, GleeFan.com, of course! We’re right in between the mentions for Fox.com/Glee and PerezHilton.com. Trust me- that sure was a surprise to find as I was flipping through the pages while sitting on the floor of Barnes and Noble!
Overall, I highly recommend that you get this book. It is an absolute must have for all Glee fans. If you would like to purchase it at your local bookstore, it retails at only $15 (which is very cheap for a book that is printed on glossy pages in full color), but you can also buy it on Amazon.com for only $10!
With the return of Glee just around the corner, there was a huge Glee flashmob in Seattle, WA on April 10, 2010. In this particular one, there were over 1,000 dancers who performed it in 3 different areas that day. Check out the official video:
The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon’s latest spin-off series, 6-bee, jokes around with the concept of Glee‘s show choir competitions. Last night, they aired the latest installment and this time, the Late Night staffers discover that they’ll be facing off against the cast of Parks & Recreation in sectionals – and that The Roots have defected to the Parks and Rec glee club. In the end, they all end up singing “We’re Not Gonna Take It” together. Check it out below, and in case you missed the first part a couple months ago, I’ve posted it after the jump. Enjoy!
Episode 2:
Check out this HIGH-LARIOUS article from Best Week Ever on the campy Glee cover of the Rolling Stones magazines. Although I must agree…who’s bright idea was it to expose Lea Michele’s ass to the magazine-reading/cover-skimming world?
Fox has been quite cruel to us these past few months, taking one of the few things around to bring us crisp, uncomplicated, adolescent joy and waxing it away like so many layers of post-pubescent hair. I speak, of course, about Glee, the hour-long musical drame-glee which ingrained itself deep, deep into our psyche, reminding us that we were perhaps cooler in high school than we gave ourselves credit for. (Example: I’ve never been pantsed. Unwillingly.)
But in 2 weeks, as the ads running 4 times per 15 minute intervals in between this season’s horrendous American Idol contestants have well reminded us, GLEE IS BACK. And to whet our appetites for what will surely be the most anticipated television return since Kelsey Grammar on Frasier, Rolling Stone Magazine has put the cast on their cover. And look… they’ve completely exposed Lea Michelle’s ass. Well.
Listen Glee, try as you may, buttocks flying free, but you’re still pretttttty much the gayest show on TV. Own it. We love you for it. Keep that ass under an ill-fitting plaid skirt where it belongs. And thank you.
Also 2 weeks until the RePremiere! Considering how bad Idol is this season, we’re prepping our campy sequined eye tourniquets in advance. We need a hit, and we need it bad.

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!
