Speculation about guest stars has been going on for weeks now (John Stamos, Taye Diggs, Daniel Radcliffe, etc.), but here’s an officially confirmed recurring role to be announced for season two! Filipino pop star Charice is said to be joining the cast as “a foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get Rachel (Lea Michele) contemplating murder,” so says Ausiello.

Charice apparently shot down rumors of appearing on Glee via her twitter, but as it turns out, she later auditioned and made it!

Remember those three new characters that we learned about way back when? Could this be that “Eve Harrington-esque” rival for Rachel, who was said to join the cast alongside a male Mercedes and a boyfriend for Kurt? Most likely!

For those of you who have never heard of Charice until now, here’s a brief blurb via her Wikipedia page:

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco (born May 10, 1992), best known as Charice (a portmanteau of her first two names) or Charice Pempengco, is a Filipino international singing sensation who rose to popularity through YouTube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as the Most Talented Girl in the World, she is the first Asian in history to land in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart.

Always a reliable source, Ausiello released a few new Glee spoilers involving further elaboration on the tragic twist for Puck. Fear not, readers: he’s not losing any limbs! Thank whatever diety you worship.

Also, word on the street is that Puck’s getting ANOTHER love interest. We’re saying it here first: we bet it’s Mercedes!

Question: I came home for spring break to find that my mother had sold my Smurf collection on eBay. The only thing that could make me feel better is little Glee scoop. —Blake

Ausiello: My partner tried to do the same thing with my collection. He’s now missing something very near and dear to him. Coincidence? I think not. Onto the Glee scoop, there’s an episode coming up in which Puck gets paired up with someone new — resulting in a musical tug-of-war for his attention. Guesses? Hit the comments!

Question: Please help out a worried Gleek. Your frenemy put out a spoiler that there is a seriously sad twist ahead for Puck on Glee. Can you spill anything? —Erin

Ausiello: Only that it doesn’t involve him losing a limb or a relative. “It’s Glee tragic,” clarifies executive producer Brad Falchuk. “He’s not going to lose an arm. No family member will pass away. He will get some news that is very surprising that will have a very big effect on his life.”

Question: Can you pppllleeeaasssee figure out what’s going on with the Glee season 2 casting call? ‘Cause I am majorly confused. —Sandra

Ausiello: I’m told there’s been a slight delay. Look for another announcement with additional details next week.

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.

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!

So here are a couple of Glee spoilers! The first is from EW’s Ask Ausiello and the second from TVGuide.com. Also, I left off the last sentence of the second spoiler because it was so spoilery that even I couldn’t post here in good conscience. In order to see it, make sure that you click “Read the rest…”

Question: Will Glee introduce Lea’s mom? Wouldn’t it be cool if it turned out to be Idina Menzel? Just a thought. –Wendy
Ausiello: I like the way your mind works. Unfortunately, there are no immediate plans to bring on Lea’s mom. We don’t even meet her dads in the first 13 episodes.

I can’t wait for Glee to start again! Any scoop? — Julianne
MICKEY: Question for you, Julianne. Are you as sick of the “Single Ladies” choreography as jokey Internet meme (see: here, here, here and here) as I am? That’s too bad for both of us, because it’s the inspiration for an entire episode in which Kurt joins the football team. (more…)

Just to put an end to any rumors of Adam Lambert guest starring on Glee, Michael Ausiello answers this fan question:

Question: Any truth to the rumor that Adam Lambert filmed a cameo for Glee? –Stephanie
Ausiello: No, but someone comes out in episode 3. And it’s exactly who you think it will be.

TV Fanatic has a nice little post about future guest star Michael Hitchcock and his role on Glee. Thanks to Michael Ausiello for the spoiler. Also, make sure to click here for a picture of Michael Hitchcock and Eve on set for filming.

Calm down, Glee.

You had us hooked after your first wonderful, unique episode.

There’s really no need to continually line up cool guest stars for next season, not that we’re objecting to upcoming appearances by Josh Groban, Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber and Debra Monk, among others.

Now, Michael Ausiello reports that MADtv’s Michael Hitchcock will show up in the fall. He’ll appear in the same episode as Eve, playing the part of the director of a different rival choir.

Hitchcock was hilarious in the movie Best in Show, as he often stars in Christopher Guest-directed movies.
