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.
The first pictures of Glee Project winner Damian McGinty‘s character, an Irish exchange student named Rory Flanagan, have popped up on TV Guide! This will be the first of his seven-episode arc, beginning November 1st.
“I am having the time of my life,” he reports. “Rory is living with Brittany, who thinks he is her own personal leprechaun only she can see. “ Sounds like Brittany alright!
Although he will receive an overall warm welcome, not everyone will be pleased with this newbie. “He does a little falsetto in his first song, and Kurt did not like that because Kurt’s the soprano of the group and doesn’t want that taken from him,” says Chris Colfer. At least they’ll still have a soprano when Kurt graduates, right?
Meanwhile, in lesbi-land, Santana (Naya Rivera) “quietly is in love with Brittany,” says Damian, “so she doesn’t like Rory because he also has a thing for Brittany.” Sounds like trouble for Brittana! “We just did a fun scene in Brittany’s bedroom,” says Damian.
So, what do you think of Damian’s character? Are you excited to see his arc? Post in the comments!
TV Guide has released an exclusive clip of the first 36 seconds of the Season 3 premiere episode “The Purple Piano Project,” so don’t read on if you don’t want to be spoiled! In the clip, Jacob Ben Isreal talks to the various glee club members about their plans for the future. This clip finally reveals who is a senior and who is a junior. We’ve already learned that Tina is a junior, but watch the video below to find out which other member of the New Directions is a confirmed junior as well!
Are you excited to see the rest of the premiere next week? We certainly are!
As you can imagine, Glee‘s portrayal of Christians has ruffled more than a few feathers. The only outright Christian character, Quinn, was pregnant by the fourth episode, and subsequently kicked out of her house by her steadfast traditionalist father. Emma includes Anne Coulter in her list of detrimental children’s role models. Sue takes a jab at Sarah Palin. Quinn’s judgmental father watches Glenn Beck. While most applaud Glee for it’s promotion of acceptance and community, many of the show’s conservative Christian fans have yet to be gratified. So Ryan Murphy has decided to introduce a Christian character for season two.
“I’m adding a Christian character,” he says to TV Guide. “We’ve taken a couple jabs at the right wing this year, so what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, ‘Oh, look—I’m represented there, too!’ If we’re trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we’ve got to include that point of view as well.”
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…)
GleekMaryP: I'm going to do a daily photo via Instagram, starting tomorrow & I'm going to try and do this for a year (or longer). Also, I made it home! 18 hours ago from Tweetbot for iPhone
