Airing during the spring premiere on April 10, Glee will cover the indie smash hit by Gotye, “Somebody That I Used to Know.” The infectious single from Belgium-Australian singer-songwriter will be covered by Blaine and his brother, played by Matt Bomer. The song has been transformed from a heartbreak-ridden duet to an ode to a classic sibling rivalry between the two brothers.

Lima and McKinley will be seeing some new faces in the next few weeks! It seems as though Glee and LiLo has buried the hatchet, at least for now. TV Line is reporting that Lindsay Lohan will appear in one of the last episodes of the season as herself, specifically as a judge at Nationals. The role is still in negotiations, but if everything goes well, we will be seeing the former Parent Trap actress on our television screens in a matter of weeks! This appearance would be a comeback for Lohan who has had a troubling few years with minimal roles.

Furthermore, another celebrity will be visiting Lima! TV Line also reported that Whoopi Goldberg will be cast in multi-episode arc.

Goldberg will portray Carmen Tibideaux, a theatrical professional and a professor at NYADA who travels to Ohio to preside over Kurt and Rachel’s auditions. It seems as though she will be around for three episodes beginning May first, according to Michael Ausiello.

What’re your thoughts on the new guest stars?

We’ve already met Rachel’s dads, Sam’s parents, Blaine’s brother, and Santana’s mother. Keeping with this season’s theme of family introductions, Glee has cast former Melrose Place actor Thomas Calabro as Puck’s estranged father.

The actor is set to star in episode 18, but no further details have been revealed as to the reason behind his sudden appearance.

What do you think could be the cause of a Puckerman family reunion?

This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to talk with Damian McGinty at the Belvedere (RED) Pre-Grammy Party in Hollywood for our friends at Starry Constellation Magazine. While there, Damian inadvertently revealed an enormous filming secret! When discussing the hectic schedule of Glee, he revealed that he almost did not make it to the event because:

“We just finished filming a wedding”

I repeat, Damian exclusively revealed that they just filmed A WEDDING! Of course we all know that there are two engagements on the show right now: the expected engagement between Will Shuester and Emma Pillsbury and the surprising one between Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry. When asked, if it was Wemma’s or Finchel’s? Damian was tight lipped and said: “You’ll have to wait and see, but what I can say is the bride looked absolutely beautiful.”

Now Damian’s hints don’t give us too much details until you take into account prior Tweets from the cast. Previously, Lea Michele Tweeted:

In addition, cast members Chord Overstreet and Kevin Mchale both Tweeted pictures with Jeff Goldblum who plays Hiram Berry, one of Rachel’s dads, that same Thursday they filmed the wedding. While we don’t have any context about the wedding, evidence is shaping up to be purely Finchel. Does this mean Rachel Berry will now be Rachel Hudson? For now, we’ll have to wait until the episode airs, but we can all still speculate.

Do you think it’s Finchel’s or Wemma’s. Do you want a Finchel wedding to happen or do you think its too soon? Is it a dream sequence? Sound off 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.

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!

It’s been confirmed! As we reported several days ago, NeNe Leakes, star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is joining the Glee cast as Roz Washington, the coach of McKinley High’s synchronized swim team coach.

The news was confirmed by Lea Michele and Chris Colfer, who appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens: Live! to share the news officially.

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!

Looks like you better get your dancing shoes and white gloves out in anticipation for a Michael Jackson tribute episode! TV Guide revealed yesterday that the January 24th episode, will be a tribute to the King of Pop and will feature “10-12 songs from Jackson’s library.”

Jackson’s family have reportedly given their support to the episode, but only after some convincing from Ryan Murphy to make sure that MJ would be honored appropriately.

I personally can’t wait for this episode, since I am a big Michael Jackson fan, and if the performances are anything like last night’s Jackson-inspired Sectionals performance, it’ll definitely be worth the wait.

What’re your thoughts on the tribute episode?

Sunday night I had the amazing opportunity to attend The Trevor Project’s Trevor Live 2011 as a member of the press for GleeFan.com. For those of you who don’t know what Trevor Live is, it’s a charity event which aims to raise awareness and garner support for LGBTQ youth. This year’s Trevor Live was a celeb studded event that was jam packed with skits, appearances, and performances from artists and actors spanning from Amy Poehler to Lady Gaga to Glee’s Amber Riley and Darren Criss.

On the day the event was hosted, I arrived at the Hollywood Palladium unsure of what to expect. This was my first time ever doing something of this magnitude. How does a red carpet work? Would I actually get to interview anyone? My questions were immediately answered once I checked in. I obtained my media pass and was directed towards GleeFan’s reserved spot on the red carpet. It was very cramped as all the press were only allotted a foot an a half of space each! The press to my right was Billboard.com and the media on my left was the official Trevor Project documentary! Not gonna lie, at first it was really intimidating, but as the day progressed, everything became more comfortable. Everyone in our corner was really friendly and we all shared tips and scoop! It was crazy!

The red carpet was very fast paced and combined with our less than stellar red carpet location, it was difficult to actually engage in interviews with many of the Glee Cast. By the time they reached our portion of the press line, their publicists would whisk them inside the theater. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to be able to conduct interviews with Dianna Agron, Kevin McHale, Adam Anders, Damian McGinty, and Cameron Mitchell.

Below is Dianna’s and Kevin’s interviews. Dianna discusses topics spanning from her upcoming project You, Me, & Charlie to her upcoming scenes with Rachel to the new direction Quinn is headed towards. Kevin chats with us about The Trevor Project, a Jackson family tribute, Kanye West, kilts and more!

Hope you enjoy these interviews with Dianna and Kevin! I’m swamped with final exams this week, but I just wanted to get this up before “Hold on to Sixteen” airs because they both give us some inside scoop about the episode! The interviews with Adam, Damian, and Cameron will be up some time next week. Also look out for photos from the event including “funny faces” with Dianna, Kevin, Cameron.

(Bear with me guys! I was doing this all alone, so if the camera is a little shaky or my hand is in shot, sorry!) I still cannot believe this legitimately happened.

The Trevor Project is a figuratively and literally a lifeline for LGBTQ teens. If you are in need of some support, make sure to check out The Trevor Project.

Between his infamous gold short shorts and an upcoming turn as White Chocolate, you’d think that Chord Overstreet has put in more than his fair share of time as the shirtless eye candy around Glee. Think again! It looks like the writers are committed to getting Sam’s pesky clothes packed safely away.

In a bid to win back the heart of ex-girlfriend Mercedes, Sam will join the synchronized swim team in mid-January. Of course, with a new sports team come new characters, including Sam’s fellow swimmers Webber, Charles, and Vinny, who have yet to be cast.

And don’t be surprised if a familiar face pops up around McKinley High– casting directors are looking for a “well-known comedic character actress” to play Coach Roz Washington. What do you think, “Glee” fans? Is this a good way to win the girl or should Sam keep his feet on dry land?

It looks like Santana is following the footsteps of her rumored mommy! The Troubletones’ Sectionals performance in the episode “Hold on to Sixteen” was just released on Glee’s Vevo account. It’s an epic mashup of the woman empowerment songs “Survivor” and “I Will Survive.” The former was originally sung by Destiny’s Child and the latter was orignally sung by Santana’s soon to be mom Gloria Estafen.

Not gonna lie, I’m not sure who I’m root for to win Sectionals. New Directions is my first love, but the Troubletones keeps nailing their performances. Plus, those outfits? Probably one of my favorites since season one’s Regionals.

Also released to Glee‘s Vevo was Sam Evan’s long awaited return to McKinley High. Sam played by Chord Overstreet sings the country song “Red Solo Cup” originally sung by Toby Keith’s. Check out both performances below:

I don’t know about you guys, but I am loving these weekly sneak peaks!

Yesterday we told you how Ricky Martin was in talks with Glee bosses about guest starring as McKinley’s new Spanish teacher, and according to reports, music legend Gloria Estefan is rumored to be set to guest star on the show in an upcoming episode set to air in January.

Estefan is currently in negotiations to play none other than the mother of Santana Lopez. No doubt this news will please fans eager to meet Santana’s parents and see how they deal with her recent revelation regarding her sexuality.

The singing sensation took to Twitter earlier today, hinting truth to the circulating reports. She tweeted:

Hey M’Tweets! Did anyone else see Glee last night? Santana could really use a sympathetic mommy right about now, don’t you think?? Lol!

What do you think of Gloria playing Santana’s mother?

Move over Will Schuester, there’s a new Spanish teacher in town that’s sure to set a few hearts racing!
According to Ausiello:

The Fox phenom is in negotiations with Ricky Martin to guest star early next year, sources confirm to TVLine exclusively.

I’m told Martin’s scalding instructor will headline two big musical numbers in the episode, which is slated to air in late January.

What do you think of Glee’s latest casting decision?

A long time ago, in a galaxy state far, far away…

Chewbacca visits Lima, Ohio?

As a huge Star Wars fan, I was excited to check my GLEEonFOX Twitter list and find a Twitpic from Chord Overstreet revealing Chewbacca as the special guest for Season 3′s Christmas episode. Soon after Chord’s twitpic of Chewie in the middle of the Choir Room hit the web, the rest of the cast took to their Twitter’s to broadcast their excitement.

For Kevin McHale, Dianna Agron, and Jenna Ushkowitz the visit greatly impacted their lives.

Kevin tweeted:

So far this has been the best day ever.

Dianna, on the other hand, tweeted:

OK. Day made. Week made, actually.

Jenna took it one step further by saying it:

made my life!

Damian McGinty was equally excited and showed his geekier side:

Just had a serious fan boy moment this morning with @chordoverstreet …can’t believe who i just met!! @druidDUDE is in heaven!!

Check out Chewbacca’s photos with Kevin, Harry, Dianna, Chris, Jenna, and Mark as well as this awesome group photo.

What do you think Chewie is doing in the choir room? How are the writers going to be able to pull it off? Post your theories below!

Karofsky fans, you better sit down for this one. Sitting down? Okay, good. It looks like Karofsky’s prom-gone-wrong really upset him. So much so that he has transferred schools! Michael Ausiello wrote an article about this week’s episode, “The First Time”, and included this tidbit of information on Max Adler‘s return to Glee:

When Sebastian invites Kurt and Blaine out to local gay haunt Scandal, Kurt runs into his old nemesis at the bar. Apparently, transferring to a new school has done wonders for the bully’s disposition. He’s mellowed out considerably and coming to grips with his sexuality. It’s my favorite scene of the episode and should fire up those Kurt-Karofsky ‘shippers out there.

We’re glad that Kurofsky is finally beginning to accept himself, but he will be missed at McKinely. What are your thoughts? Do you still want Dave at WMHS?
