If you’re like me and do nothing but watch Fox shows all day and night, you’ve probably noticed the new promos that are starting to air! Get ready for lots of new drama, as well as the first appearances of Chord Overstreet (Kurt’s boyfriend), Charice, and John Stamos! Two of these promos also feature the club’s performance of Empire State of Mind.

Are you pumped or are you pumped?!

Before going to work on Glee, Charice stopped by the Seventeen magazine office to do an exclusive performance of Beyoncé’s “Halo!” Catch the video below to get a sneak peek at Charice’s amazing talent before we see her in Season 2.

I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!

New Characters:

• Kurt gets a boyfriend. An “everyday guy.” He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
• A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
• Sam Elliot will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
• Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
• Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
• Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
• Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
• John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
• Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
• Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?

*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.

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.
