Awards season is nearing its end as the Screen Actors Guild Awards was broadcasted from Los Angeles Sunday Night. Although Glee did not win the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series (congrats Modern Family!) there was much to excited about from the red carpet.

The Glee cast looked gorgeous as they walked down the red carpet. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera were ranked one and four, respectively as the “Hottest Stars of the Night” according to the E! Heat Gauge.

Lea lapped the competition with almost twice as many Tweet “votes” than the second place celebrity who just happened to be George Clooney! It wasn’t hard to figure out why she placed first. She looked sultry in her gray Versace dress with a slit that bordered upon her upper thigh. Naya, on the other hand, looked more ethereal in a beaded cream dress by Naeem Khan.

Check out photos of the Glee cast at the SAG Awards, including a candid of Cory Monteith meeting George Clooney!

On the red carpet, Naya gave little hints about the upcoming Brittana storyline. She revealed to Kristin Dos Santos from Watch with Kristin that the episode will contain some “very, very cute moments.” According to Kristin, Naya sported a huge “Cheshire grin while talking about Brittany and Santana in the Valentine’s Day episode.”

Elsewhere on the red carpet, the rest of the cast mingled with other reporters as well. Mark Salling joked with E! News correspondent Ross Mathews on how he manages to play a high schooler:

“I’m 17 years old… 30-17, I think is the terminology”

Check out Mark and Jenna Ushkowitz’s solo interviews, and Chord Overstreet & Amber Riley’s joint interview!

Lastly, do you remember Jane Lynch at the 2012 Golden Globes juggling in the GlamCam 360? Well at this year’s SAG Awards, E! News correspondent Giuliana Rancic challenged Jane to a juggling duel. Both showed their inner circus skills, but Guiliana outlasted Jane. Either way, thats way longer than I can juggle!

Even though Glee didn’t win a SAG award Sunday night, there was so much for us Gleeks to be happy about and enough content to keep us entertained until Tuesday’s Michael Jackson themed episode.

After much debate, theory, and speculation, the faces of Rachel’s two gay dads have been announced.

Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell will play Hiram and LeRoy Berry, starting in the February 14 Valentine’s Day episode “Heart”.

Both veteran actors will put their Broadway skills to the test, since they’re scheduled to sing at least once over the course of their arc.

What do you think about this long-awaited casting decision, Gleeks? Did you have your heart set on someone else? Are you screaming with joy at the thought of these two gracing your television as the Berrys? Share below!

The past few weeks have been a constant whirlwind of news about Glee‘s future: there will be a Season 4; characters are graduating yet also staying on the show; the format will be a completely awesome and novel concept. Now that the winds are dying down and the fate of graduating fan favorites like Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, and Naya Rivera have been confirmed, questions start to be raised. Questions like: what about the rest of the cast?

The truth is, nobody knows yet, not even the cast themselves. When asked at the Fox TCA All-Star party, Mark Salling confided that he has no idea what his future holds.

“It’s just nice to really be able to work with the people I do and have the job I do. I feel blessed. And if they want to have me back, I’d love to.”

Sounds pretty good… after all, who wouldn’t want more Puck? Meanwhile, could there be room for more cast additions? Rumors are floating around that Grant Gustin, currently playing meerkat-faced Sebastian, is being picked up as a series regular for next season. Although Fox cautions that “we are not finalizing season four regulars until May” and Grant himself tweeted caution that series regular status hasn’t been made official yet, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Kurt’s rival next year.

There you have it, Gleeks! What do you think? Can you wait until May to find out who’s staying and who’s leaving? Do you think Sebastian should be added to the ranks of full-time characters? Leave a comment below!

Glee goes disco this April with a Saturday Night Fever themed episode. Ryan Murphy told TVGuide Magazine:

“We’ve never done disco on the show, but I’m interested in the genius of The Bee Gees.”

Rumor has it that the movie’s star John Travolta may also make an appearance in the episode as part of a Finn dream sequence.

Gleeks have done it again! When it comes to voting, you all own the polls. Last night at the People’s Choice Awards, Miss Rachel Berry took home the award for Favorite TV Comedy Actress. Lea looked gorgeous as she accepted her award and said:

“I want to dedicate this to my amazing cast, my ‘Glee’ club. You are my family and my best friends. I’m an only child and now I have 11 other siblings.”

You can watch her full acceptance speech below. Congratulations Lea!

One day after the Gleek Twittersphere trended the topic “Keep The Glee Cast“, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly revealed major details about the future of Glee’s next season.

According to Matt Mitovich of TVLine, Reilly revealed to the press present at the Television Critics Association winter tour on Sunday that:

“We are graduating the characters that are [due] to graduate, and what’s come out of it is [series boss] Ryan [Murphy] and the guys have come
up with a really cool idea. There will not be a Glee spinoff but those characters will graduate and it’s led to a very interesting idea that I think is going to really give us something cool to dig into next season.”

For those of you Gleeks hoping for the Rachel Berry, Kurt Hummel at NYADA spin-off, sorry! The spin-off is not happening.

There is no word yet on whether the whole “Graduating” cast is staying, but Reilly did specifically mention that Lea Michele is confirmed for next season. Rachel Berry fans rejoice! When asked about the future of the rest of the seniors, specifically Chris Colfer, Reilly offered:

“What I said before is creatively, we’d want everybody back. I’ve got to look at the contractual situation for all of those. And we will.”

Peculiar. Should the fans of Kurt Hummel and Co. be worrying right now? For the most part, no.

Plans for the show are mum, but speculation is already running high. Among speculation is that Rachel and Kurt do go off to NYADA while other ideas involve some of the seniors becoming teachers. Personally, I’m going to throw Jonathan Groff‘s Jessie St. James back into the Season 4 mix. Unfortunately, we’ll all have to wait towards the end of Season 3 for the big reveal, but as Reilly puts it:

“I think it’s going to be a good thing for the show. … It’s cool. It’s different.”

Dominic Barnes, also known as Warbler Trent, has answered your questions in his exclusive Q&A with GleeFan.com! He discusses how he became a Warbler, working with Darren Criss, and his love for Beyonce.
———

Q: “If you could have the Warblers sing any song in the world, which would you choose?” – Sara O. (Chicago, IL)
A: I would have to choose “Cry Me a River” by Michael Buble… Maybe Trent should sing it as a ballad to Blaine for leaving. haha ;)

Q: “If you could do a duet with anyone from the Glee cast, who would you choose?” – Tamzen C. (16, Washington)
A: Amber Riley in a heartbeat! I think she has one of the most incredible voices of our generation and to sing with her would be such an honor. Here’s hoping! ;)

Q: “What has been your best experience so far on the set of Glee with the cast?” – Tom (19, New York)
A: I know this is such a cliched answer but EVERY single moment has been the greatest! It has been phenomenal from day one and I couldn’t ask for a better job and for better people to share the experience with.

Q: “Who was your biggest influence growing up?” – Michelle (30, United Kingdom)
A: My mom had the biggest influence on me hands down. She taught me so many valuable lessons and really helped me succeed and taught me to go for my dreams regardless of my circumstances.

Q: “What is the storyline behind Trent? What is his character description, if you were to give him one?” – Kris P. (Philadelphia, PA)
A: He is a total sass basket with only the best of intentions. He is fixated on perfection and tries to prove himself to everyone, especially Blaine. But he is all around a very sweet innocent guy with plenty of sass to go around. ;) I like to think of him as the counterpart to Mercedes in the New Directions!

Q: “What is the hardest challenge you have being an actor?” – Aaron (Peoria, IL)
A: Relaying a message to the masses, and wanting them to take away a certain message from your character that you intend for them to receive.

Q: “You used to be an extra on Glee and can be seen in some classroom and hallway scenes at McKinely.  How did you become a Warbler?” – Mary (18, Louisiana)
A: I was cast by Ryan Murphy and Paris Barclay, who directed the regionals episode in Season 2. My good friend Tim Davis put me up for the part and the rest was history.

Q: “If you could give a message of hope to LGBT teens who are reading this and struggling, what would you say?” – Nick J. (Arkansas)
A: Life is full of wonderful surprises that can potentially alter the path you are on currently, so stick around and find out what those surprises are because it is so worth it. There is an entire community of people who will love you for exactly who you are and we cannot wait to meet you! So please let us have that chance.

Check out this video from Access Hollywood in which Naya speaks from the heart on her experience with the lesbian storyline, reactions from fans, and her appreciation. She also talks about Gloria Estefan, who, as we posted earlier, has been cast to play her mother! Watch below:

What do you think? Are you pumped to see Gloria Estefan?

Helen Mirren, who most notably received an Oscar for her performance in the 2006 film The Queen, is confirmed to guest star on Glee. According to Michael Ausiello of TVline.com, Mirren (or at least her voice!) will make an appearance in the first episode back from the hiatus as a character’s conscience. An unnamed source revealed:

“Helen came in and secretly recorded several long and hilarious monologues two weeks ago,” says the source. “Then she visited the kids on set, and they had no idea she was coming; they were stunned.”

Like many of the other roles on Glee including Lea Michele‘s Rachel Berry, this role was specifically “was written for Mirren.” There is no word yet on which character Mirren’s voice will play inner monologues to, but personally I think it could be Ms. Emma Pillsbury. The episode is Wemma-centered with the episode titled “Yes/No.” Also, I believe Ms. Pillsbury is one of the only characters who has yet to have an inner monologue. Who do you think her voice will guide? Sound off in the comments below!

NeNe is confirmed to be in at least two episodes, the Grease and Michael Jackson tributes, and is slated to become a new rival for Sue. As if Sue needs any more rivals!

We’ll keep you posted when we know for sure whether or not this news is official, but until then… how do you feel about a Real Housewife joining the cast?

Get the stockings and ugly sweaters ready for Tuesday’s all new Christmas themed episode! To get everyone in the holiday spirit, the Glee Vevo account uploaded two performances from the episode called “Extraordinary Merry Christmas.”

In my opinion, the performances are great and definitely put me in a cheerful mood. I can’t wait for the holidays to arrive!

Here is “All I Want For Christmas Is You” sung by the incredible Amber Riley.

Also, here is “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” which features the entire glee club!

As most of you are aware Gloria Estefan was in talks with Glee bosses about a possible guest starring role this season. Well, looks like talks are over and Glee have found themselves a new Mrs. Lopez! Estefan announced her new role on Twitter earlier today:

Ok Tweeties! Just got off the phone with Ryan Murphy! Call me Mrs. Lopez! SO EXCITED!!

Estefan also made reference to the circulating news of another Lopez family member coming to Glee:

It’s been reported that singer/rapper, Pitbull is being courted to play the role of Santana’s big brother on the show. It is expected both characters will make their first appearance in January.
