Bye, Brittany?!

10 May 2013 9:48 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Is Heather Morris leaving "Glee"?

The actress, who first signed on as Brittany S. Pierce in Season 1 of the Fox musical dramedy just to do a dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" with Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), does not have a deal for Season 5 of "Glee, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But E! News reports that Morris is not alone: None of the "Glee" stars have Season 5 contracts yet.

Do not read on if you have not yet seen the Season 4 finale of "Glee," titled "All or Nothing."

The "Glee" Season 4 finale saw Brittany leave McKinley High before the year was over after being granted early admission to MIT. Sources told THR that Morris could potentially return for "Glee" Season 5 either as a regular or recurring guest star, the latter of which would be similar to the way the show handled Quinn (Dianna Agron), Mercedes (Amber Riley »

‘Glee’ Recap: Rachel Gets A Huge Shock Before Her Broadway Callback

2 May 2013 7:40 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

The May 2 episode of ‘Glee’ was full of homecomings, emotional encounters, and big decisions. We’re just happy that Stevie Wonder week brought a much-needed Happy episode!

With Regionals just a week away, Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) invited back some of our favorites to help out the New Directions on Glee on May 2. However, while Kurt dealt with a family health scare in Lima, Rachel (Lea Michele) had to face the challenges of her Broadway callback in New York … and the one person standing in her way.

Glee’ Original Cast Returns To McKinley

Mercedes (Amber Riley) returned to Ohio to be faced with tough decisions, and Mike (Harry Shum Jr.) came to help the glee club. They also supported Kurt (Chris Colfer), who returned home to be with his dad (Mike O’Malley) for a doctor’s appointment that would determine whether or not he still had cancer.

Lucky for him, »

'Glee' songs: Mercedes, Cassandra and more return for the Stevie Wonder tribute, 'Wonder-ful'

30 April 2013 7:56 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

We only have a few more episodes left in "Glee" Season 4, but of course the show has managed to squeeze in one more tribute episode, this time honoring the music of Stevie Wonder. At least we know that "Wonder-ful" will have some good tunes.

As for the plot ... It probably doesn't have much to do with Stevie Wonder directly. Instead, we meet Artie's mother (guest star Katey Sagal) and see the returns of Mercedes (Amber Riley), Cassandra (Kate Hudson) and Burt Hummel (Mike O'Malley). While Rachel (Lea Michele) gets ready for her "Funny Girl" callbacks, the New Directions prepare for Regionals.

What music can we expect from "Wonder-ful"? Listen to the songs below.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" performed by Kitty (Becca Tobin)

"Superstition" performed by Mercedes, Blaine (Darren Criss) and Marley (Melissa Benoist)

"You Are the Sunshine of My Life" performed by Kurt (Chris Colfer)

"I Wish" performed by »

Previously on Glee, Kurt Hummel and Santana Lopez existed and spoke words and sang songs and danced dances and were beloved not only as beacons of light and sexiness for the queer communities they represent, but also generally accepted to be The Greatest by mainstream media as well. It was the best of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the epoch of belief, it was the season of Light, it was the spring of hope, we had everything before us, we were all going to heaven. It was Tale of One City — Bushwick. Alas.

The University of Lima is a place that has never existed until this exact moment. In fact, it might be a very elaborate figment of Finn's imagination. For one thing, you can just start classes at any old time during the semester. And for another thing, »

American Idol Review: Double Down

27 February 2013 7:02 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

The second set of 10 girls sang for their supper tonight on American Idol.

And just like last week, only 5 of them will survive the Sudden Death round and go on to croon another week. The biggest issue I can see with the Sudden Death setup is that by grouping the singers and cutting after each group of 10, the judges may have sent someone home last week who is better than those who will perform this week.

Will that turn out to be the case? Let's find out...

Melinda Ademi is a returning Idol contestant from season 10 and music major in New York City. She sings Jessie J's "Nobody's Perfect" and it's awkward at times and pitchy in spots and not...uh...perfect. It's like she's trying too hard to be hard. It's not a great start to the night. Keith called it "a great way to start the show »

In an interview with EW, Jane Lynch revealed that she gets cast in a lot of roles that were originally scripted for men. Lynch said, “I have numerous roles that I’ve played that were originally written for men. The first role I ever had was playing a king in The Princess and the Pea story. My character in 40-Year-Old Virgin originally was a man. I’ve played tons of doctors and teachers and lawyers on guest spots on sitcoms that were originally conceived for men, that my agent was smart enough to say, 'Do you see a woman in this role?' That’s happened to me a lot. »

'Glee' videos: Pretty much everything except a wedding in 'I Do'

13 February 2013 3:40 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

We may still question whether or not "Glee" will allow Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma (Jayma Mays) to actually marry on the Valentine's Day episode, "I Do," but the rest of the romance is pretty certain. From potential returns to old hook-ups to new love, the videos and songs from the episode tell us that there will be plenty of romance even if the wedding doesn't happen.

For one thing, there's a chance of Finn (Cory Monteith) and Rachel (Lea Michele) getting back together in some way. Sure, it's probably just a tease (since Rachel lives in New York and has a boyfriend), but there are hints.

What does this mean for Finn's sudden and inexplicable crush on Emma? Who knows?

In less-surprising romances, Jake (Jacob Artist) and Marley (Melissa Benoist) are still a thing. That may not, however, last too long if Jake doesn't get around to buying his girl a Valentine's present. »

We've heard this somewhere before. Why do 'Smash' and 'Glee' keep overlapping? -- Video

6 February 2013 4:18 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Smash has done it again (no, not in the ratings, let’s forget about those for a minute) —we’re talking about using songs that sound pretty familiar — mainly because they’ve been on a different musical TV show, Glee, as recently as the current season.

During its two-hour premiere Tuesday night,  Ivy (Megan Hilty) covered Crowded House’s 1986 hit “Don’t Dream It’s Over” as a faraway-look-in-her-eye ballad of resilience. Except that Glee already covered the song, as a cheer-us-up chorus of resilience — and beanies.

This isn’t all that surprising: Before Smash’s debut in 2011, producer Craig Zadan »
