Romance for Sam Evans and...

From Christopher Rosen @ www.wetpaint.com:

Well, Gleeks, it looks like the mystery around who Kurt's boyfriend will be during this season of Glee has been sorted out. According to EW King of Scoop, Michael Ausiello, Chord Overstreet's Sam is set to romance... well, spoiler alert. Do you really want to know?

Of course! He's set to romance Quinn. That means the handsome, floppy haired star will not be pressing his lips into Kurt's, as had been rumored.

Meanwhile, Ausiello also reports that Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.) will sing with Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) during Episode 4, that Charice will return for Episode 7. In other news, Ausiello says Glee doesn't plan on doing another Madonna episode this season. There's always next year, though...

Superbowl Showdown: Boss vs. King

From Christopher Rosen at www.wetpaint.com

It looks like Glee's post-Super Bowl show has been narrowed down to one of two artists. Will the members of New Directions be channeling their inner Boss or their inner King?

According to Michael Ausiello, Glee has to decide between featuring the songs of Michael Jackson or Bruce Springsteen for the extra special episode. Which artist will reign supreme? Probably The Boss (it is after the Super Bowl, after all), but we can't help but wish for MJ. Can't you just imagine how awesome that would be?

*** O.M.GLEE!!! We are so close to #MJonGLEE, everyone!!!!!! Let's start pushing for it again!

Criss to Cross-over to be With Colfer?

From Michael Ausiello @ www.ausiellofiles.com

The plot surrounding Kurt’s first boyfriend on Glee thickens: Actor-singer-songwriter Darren Criss—best known to TV audiences as Matt Dallas’ bro on Eastwick—has landed the much-talked-about new gay role on the Fox phenom.

But will he have eyes for Kurt? Maybe. Maybe not. Allow me to explain…

Per a Glee source, Criss’ character, Blaine—a cute and charismatic gay student from a rival Glee club named the Dalton Academy Warblers—will maintain a strictly platonic friendship with McKinley High’s most out and proud pupil. But could that change as the season progresses? Yes, it could.

Sounds to me like series creator Ryan Murphy is keeping his options open.

Ever since Murphy announced that Kurt would be getting a love interest in season 2, speculation about the identity of his suitor has run rampant. The casting of pretty boy Chord Overstreet led some to speculate that his quarterback character Sam would play that role, a theory Chris Colfer all but shot down when he informed us that there’s no sign of romantic tension between Sam and Kurt in the first four episodes. “Maybe it is too obvious,” he theorized. “Our writers have a way of avoiding the obvious and throwing curveballs.”

Darren-CrissImage Credit: Chris DzombakIn addition to his TV work, Criss has built quite a Web following as a member of the University of Michigan theater company Team StarKid. The group’s spoof, A Very Potter Musical, went viral and turned Criss (who plays the title role) into a bit of an Internet star.

Weird Dream Last Night

OK GLEEks...

I know some of you have posted on Twitter that you would never want this to happen, but just hear me out & stay with me...

OK, last night I dreamed of GLEE...I think. At least Rachel was in it...or Lea Michele. I may have been watching a movie of some sort...but I saw Zac Efron on the screen with her. Somehow they were talking when a microburst hit & they had to take cover! It was crazy & kind of intense! And then somehow afterward (they were both OK), she kept reminding him that she was gay & he asked her why she had to keep bringing it up...

WHAT????

That's all I remember! Now then...I know it has been rumored that Zac could appear on GLEE...but...
He wanted OUT of the whole "High School Musical" thing (but GLEE is in series form)! That's why he backed out of "Footloose"!

So don't hate on me, Zac-haters, it was ONLY a dream! OK?

Anyhoo...thought I share my craziness that happens in my head sometimes...

Want That RecipGLEE?

Hi GLEEks!

As promised, here are the GLEEcrets to Slushie Cakes & Brittany Bars! Ready?


Slushie Cakes al a GLEE:

* Use your favorite WHITE cake mix
* Follow package directions & ADD 2 pkg Koolaid (any flavor) to the water the directions require & dissolve before adding to the mix
* Fill each baking cup MOSTLY full in a cupcake pan
* Bake as directed with maybe 2-3 added minutes (Toothpick Test here: check to see if the toothpick comes out clean after baking times)
* After baking, cool COMPLETELY

Decorating Slushie Cakes:

* Use plain WHITE frosting & spread a VERY thin layer on cupcakes
* I use SPRAY food coloring (Wilton's in the cake decor section/aisle) & use the same color as the flavor of cupcakes
* Use sugar crystals (white) & food color drops in a separate bowl to make the color of the sugar the same color as the cupcakes
* After the this white layer of frosting is sprayed w/ food coloring, add the colored sugar over the top & shake off excess sugar

>> You can use precolored icing as long as it's the same color as the cupcakes; if the frosting is flavored, make sure it is the same as the cupcakes

>> You may use regular colored sugar, just note that the sugar crystals look like the ice in slushies; if you use colored sugar that is flavored, make sure it is the same as the flavor of the cupcakes

Slushie Cake set up:

* Use small 5 oz plastic cups (clear or white)
* Add licorice whips (preferably red like Twizzlers) as the "straw"

** NOTE: These can easily tip, so HANDLE WITH CARE **

>> Yields apprx. 18 cupcakes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BRITTANY BARS:

* Use 1 box Fruity Cheerios (you may also use the generic brand which is slightly larger, but has blue 'O's where Cheerios do not include blue)
* ½ stick of butter
* 1 bag of marshmallows or fruity marshmallows

* melt butter in a microwaveable bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds or until butter is melted
* add the bag of marshmallows & toss with the melted butter
* place mixture back in the microwave for 45 seconds
* stir the mixture
* place back in the microwave for 45 more seconds
* stir again
* mix melted marshmallows with the cereal in a large bowl

* place foil in a 9"x13" pan & grease or spray with cooking spray VERY well (I used Baker's Joy)
* spread cereal mixture evenly in the foiled pan & let set
* cut into squares

** NOTE: Keep in an airtight container **

>> Yields apprx. 12 squares

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have fun at your next GLEE get together!! I hope you do not find these confusing.

#Pray4Nanis

Hell-O GLEEks.

I am writing this post with a request for help. I have met so many wonderful GLEEks on Twitter lately, and I recently began chatting with one a few weeks ago when I noticed in a post of hers that she died on the operating table & came back! I was so moved by that, I began chatting with her.

Our fellow GLEEk, @gleeknaniiss, is a 22 year old who is fighting for her life as I write this. She told a small circle of us that she wanted to get out of the hospital & live her life but knew she was too weak. We have been praying for her & encouraging her to take care of herself. She knows to do that & had a new look on life. She also fully believes that she is not done on Earth yet. I believe that, too.

Nanis has a blood condition that causes her to bleed. It was discovered a later than it probably should have been. She has been in ICU for weeks & recently had to undergo another surgery for internal bleeding. We have been truly concerned about her since then. She slipped into a coma, but came out of on GLEE's premier night! She had actually hoped to be well enough to travel to watch it, but that wasn't to happen.

A friend of hers has been updating us on how she's doing...
It's not well at the moment. Her heart is very weak now, and the doctors cannot do much more for her. She has to fight it out now.

I know she is in God's hands & she has so much faith! She is a beautiful spirit who is in desperate need of our prayers right now!

Would you please join me in our Twitter movement of #Pray4Nanis? We need these prayers from around the world coming from her fellow GLEEks!

I also ask that you pass this along. She is an amazing story & an amazing person. No, I haven't met her face-to-face, but our chats have been inspiring!

Thank you.

9/24 Update

Hell-O GLEEks!

They have brought in another doctor who wanted to change her medication. It has been done & there is improvement! She is awake & talking! She is sending her love to everyone who has been supporting her with love & prayers!

Thank you to those of you who have shared this post with some of the GLEE cast, too. Iqbal Theba does send his well wishes for Nanis to get better! What a great guy!

We are no where near done in this journey, GLEEks! Please continue the #Pray4Nanis movement as God keeps His mighty healing hand upon her & her spirit. Also include her family & friends who are there with her experiencing these miracles! Please pray for the doctors & medical staff that are helping with their healing hands & knowledge.

God is good...All the time! We love you, Nanis!!

** 2nd Update **

She has just had a relapse! Please pick up the prayers!! She needs us NOW!!


9/25 Update:

Nanis had to have another surgery. She came out of surgery very early this morning. She's still going, but in delicate condition. She cannot have visitors right now, but does have a doctor in the room with her around the clock!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying & giving support! Please keep praying for our dear friend!


9/26 Update:

Well GLEEks, Nanis' blood pressure went down last night. She is sedated right now & still no visitors, of course. In the meantime, her grandfather passed away yesterday (9/25) & they are having the funeral today. I do not thing Nanis knows due to the state she is in.

Please continue the #Pray4Nanis movement & be sure to include her family though this time. What a heartbreaking situation! Also include her doctors, nurses & friends though all of this.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting Nanis. Even if you are not one who prays, please either start or send positive energy her direction!

Much love to you all!


2nd Update (9/26)

Our Nanis is really fighting hard tonight! Her blood pressure keeps dropping. Please pray harder, send positive & healing energy, and be sure to spread the word! She needs us right now GLEEks!

Thank you all for all of your love and support! Her family needs this too. Do NOT forget to pray for the doctors & nurses who are with her & treating her!!


9/27 Update:

Well, the doctors are really working hard to keep Nanis stabilized. The family is going through so much right now. Her grandfather was buried today & they are dealing with the ups & downs at the hospital.

Here's the hard & tricky part: the Mexican doctors want family & friends to start saying their goodbyes to her; the Houston doctors are saying there is hope & she will make it. I am putting my faith in God & the Houston doctors & hope you will join me!

Please make #Pray4Nanis surge to get word out about her! The power of prayer is amazing!! Continue to pray &/or send healing & positive energy to Nanis, her family, her friends & all the doctors & medical staff that are going through all of this right now! Please share this link also when & where you can! She needs us now, they all need us now! Even if you are not on Twitter to spread #Pray4Nanis, please at least share this link!

Thank you for all of your love, kindness & support for Nanis!


9/28 Update:

I got word this morning that, late last night, Nanis went into cardiac arrest. Doctors have worked very hard to save her. She is a fighter & has made it through yet again. She is an amazing miracle that remains in a very delicate state. She has been going through this last round for over a week now & is still going.

She obviously still needs our help. Her family still needs our love. The doctors & medical staff still need our support. Her friends still need our thoughts. Please continue our #Pray4Nanis movement...more than ever! It has been a hard journey, so let's take her by the hand & help her through these rough parts.

Thank you all for the continued love & support for Nanis. Her friends & family have expressed their ongoing gratitude for it!


9/29 Update:

Got word that Nanis is in an induced coma, but stable. Which is good for now. Please continue to Pray 4 Nanis, her dear friends that keep us updated, her family & certainly her doctors & all medical staff working with her!

Thank you, GLEEmunity, for you continued love & support of our friend!


2nd Update (9/29):

OMGlee!!! Nanis is responding to her new medications, is off of the ventilator & is AWAKE!! She is under strict observation, of course, and still no visitors allowed, but the power of prayer is amazing! And she is such a strong spirit!

Please continue to pray for this roller coaster ride! Keep praying for her recovery, for her family & friends going through all of this, and for the doctors & medical staff that are helping her heal! Pray that this ride ends soon & well! I would love for her to be able to tell about this ride!! Wouldn't you?

The love & support of the #GLEEmunity has been amazing! You all are wonderful! The family & her friends have been so appreciative!


10/1 Update:

Sorry for no updates yesterday, but there really weren't any. Which is a good thing!

What we know today is that she is getting antsy & is complaining that she is still unable to have visitors! YEA! She's complaining about no visitors! This is a very positive thing & she one tough chic! I know I keep saying this, but Nanis is an amazing spirit that is both so sweet & so strong!

Our prayers are working GLEEks! What an amazing GLEEmunity we have to love & support each other in these kinds of times!

Keep praying for Nanis. Of course, be sure include her family & friends as they are feeling the effects of the exhaustion of this whole ordeal. Please continue to pray for the doctors who have had faith in Nanis & are working hard to make sure she can leave that hospital to go and continue living her life, as well as the medical staff that are there supporting these doctors & working with Nanis!

Thank you all for keeping up with these posts, too! You all are amazing!


10/3 Update:

Well everyone, our prayers are working wonders & miracles! As Nanis is still in ICU, she got to have family see her, and then hopefully more visitors tomorrow! This is amazing, GLEEks! Keep up the prayers! You all are amazing!

I would like to take this moment to call out a particular blog. Fake Live Journal Deaths has been trying everything they can to prove this as a hoax; that's what they try to set out to do...scope the internet & take things out of context to try to say every "death"-type story is a hoax. Yes, http://community.livejournal.com/fake_lj_deaths/, I know it's you. There was even an awful comment left early on in this movement that I refused (and still do) to post due to the cruel nature it has. Well, my non-believing readers. There's this thing out there called prayer & another that goes along with it called miracles. That's what you are experiencing with this whole thing, so sorry you can't prove much else from your stand point. I also know that you keep checking here. So hopefully it has encouraged you to pray, not prey.

Keep up the great prayers & keep the movement going as our beautiful friend keeps up on the mend!

GLEEks are amazing!! And so is Nanis!


Late 10/4 Update:

Nanis is not doing very well right now. She might still get a couple of visitors, but more tests need to be run. Keep the prayers up NOW, GLEEks!! Nanis needs us to make it through this! So does her family & friends! Pray for them and for the doctors & medical staff that have faith in her & are working to keep her here & get her healed! The movement needs a new upswing! Let's go!!

To our beautiful Nanis: Keep Holding On!
To all the GLEEks out there praying: Don't Stop Believin'!


10/6 Update:

Just a quick update...Nanis is still struggling. She is still in ICU & she has been in a lot of pain lately, and she started bleeding a little through her nose so the doctors got worried and said it would be safer to just cut the visits for now, however she is still awake & fighting!

So that's where we are at!

Keep praying, GLEEks! Keep up the #Pray4Nanis movement! Remember her family, friends, doctors, nurses & medical staff! They appreciate the support, thoughts, prayers, positive thoughts & healing energy! Keep it up!


10/8 Update:

PRAY HARD!! About 4 hours ago (of this update), Nanis is in surgery...brain surgery. With her very fragile state lately (even though she is QUITE the fighter), there is a lot to be concerned about this time. Her family & friends are frightened with this surgery. Frankly, her twitter friends are too...like me.

If you thought you needed to pray hard before, #Pray4Nanis must be bigger & stronger NOW!!

Pray for her strength & spirit though the surgery. Pray for her family & friends as all they can do wait. Pray for her doctors, nurses & medical staff as they are dealing with a very serious & fragile form of healing with her.

PRAY HARD, GLEEks!! Please!

Thank you...and hope to update you with some good news...


2nd Update (10/8):

Nanis made it through surgery & the doctors got a blood clot from her brain. Hopefully this will help out with a lot of problems. Please continue to pray for Nanis as she recovers from this one. Don't forget her family & friends as they anxiously await what happens.

Thank you for all of your awesome support! It is working unbelievable miracles so far!


10/10 Update:

The situation with Nanis even more critical. Things have been very hard, doctors having struggling to keep her going, her parents are destroyed ... things are looking worse than ever, according to her very good friend keeping us as updated as possible. The surgery to remove the clot from her brain has helped, but they had to lower the drugs dose, so now she is bleeding constantly but they can not up the dose for fear of more clots forming...either she bleeds out or her blood just coagulates.

They are trying to find a solution, 3 more doctors from the Houston team are arriving tomorrow morning to see what they can do for the case. They were talking about transferring her to Houston, but her situation right now makes it impossible.

Please pray for this entire situation, GLEEks! Nanis is in dire need again/still of our support, prayers, positive thoughts & healing energies. Her family & friends are in need of our strength for them right now. Please pray the doctors can do more to keep her around. I would like to put out there to pray really hard that the transfer to Houston becomes a reality. I miss the tweet conversations with her & this is not someone who deserves this! She is a beautiful & sweet spirit who has been fighting so hard the last few weeks!

Won't you join us in a worldwide prayer vigil for Nanis & her loved ones? They deserve nothing less.

Thank you...


10/17 Update:

OK, I know it's been a week, but I hadn't gotten any updates. That has NOT stopped me from praying for our friend everyday anyway! Hope you all have continued the #Pray4Nanis vigil, too. I believe many of you have because she is currently awake & talking! What a ride this has been for her, GLEEks! But she is still on this scary ride. Please do not stop praying for Nanis until the after the ride is over!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Nanis, her family, her friends, her doctors & medical staff. And if you haven't been praying but have been sending strengthening, positive & healing energy their way, too...it has been so appreciated.

And for those at http://community.livejournal.com/fake_lj_deaths (especially you, 289106), please note that I do know you are still keeping up with Nanis, and do truly hope this has actually been an inspiring story for you to follow. Because I know you keep checking.

Keep up the beautiful vigil for our sweet-spirited & strong-willed friend! Hope to bring you more good news soon!


10/18 Update:

Keep up those prayers, GLEEks! Just got word that, even though Nanis is still under close observation, she is receiving a few visitors, is awake & talking, and as long as she continues to do well, she may be moved OUT of ICU this week!! What a miracle!!

Keep praying hard & continue the #Pray4Nanis vigil & movement. The prayers, positive thoughts & healing energies are working wonders! Her family & friends are very happy & feel like they can start breathing a little easier, too!

So please continue to support Nanis with your prayers & thoughts, and always include her family, friends, doctors, nurses & medical staff that are there with her as well. This has been a tiring ordeal, and it seems to be looking up...make the miracle happen!

Yeah! What About That?

From Kristin Dos Santos at www.eonline.com's Watch with Kristin:

So you still like the Glee, do you? Twelve million fans tuned in for the season-two premiere last night, but by the looks of our mailbag, the episode left some of you with questions about the comings and goings at New Directions. So, who's who, and what's to come? We've got your answers right here!

What happened to Matt, aka Shaft, aka "copresident of the background dancers union"?
As Mr. Shue mentioned in passing, Matt (Dijon Talton) has transferred schools, dropping the glee club's membership down to just 11. Of course, what actually happened is a little something we like to call "writers' room Darwinism." After Glee blew up into a global phenomenon, all of the onetime background characters (Santana, Brittany, Mike Chang) that could be evolved into frontline characters got promoted. Poor Matt was deemed unfit by the evolutionary forces of "story," so he was eliminated. Here's hoping that Dijon Talton goes on to many other great things in the future and the story of how he was let go from Glee becomes just a hilarious anecdote about his rise to fame and personal fulfillment. Good luck, Dijon!

What happened to Coach Ken Tanaka?
Tanaka (Patrick Gallagher) had a nervous breakdown and quit—no doubt because Emma (Jayma Mays) broke his heart. Producers never explained publicly why they switched out their football coaches, but presumably Tanaka was no longer needed as a romantic rival for Mr. Shue. And heck, how could the writers resist giving Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) a Beiste-ly new female football coach to mock?

Who the heck is Charice anyway?
What? You're not hip to Filipina pop stars?! Jeez. OK then, Charice Pempengco is an 18-year-old YouTube sensation who has released two hit albums and appeared on Oprah'sWorld's Most Talented Kids show. You can watch the video for her single "Pyramid" here, and follow her on Twitter @OfficialCharice.

Will Wicked costars Idina Menzel or Kristin Chenoweth be back?
Menzel's character, Shelby Corcoran, resigned as coach of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline to spend more time with adopted daughter Beth (Puck and Quinn's biological child), but luckily Cheyenne Jackson (who was hilarious last year as Canadian import Danny Baker on 30 Rock) is stepping into her shoes. FYI, you can follow Cheyenne on Twitter at @cheyguynyc, should you so desire. Meanwhile, Kristin Chenoweth is shooting another installment of Glee in just two short weeks!

Hello, Chord Overstreet! You're too pretty not to be dating someone. So who will it be?
@ChordOverstreet himself has played coy on this question for months; Jane Lynch suggested that he'd be hooking up with Chris Colfer's Kurt Hummel; but there's also talk that he could be getting with Quinn, and Dianna Agron told us at the premiere party, "What do we know other than the cheerleader and the footballer?" Huh. Well, we can only hope that Sam is bisexual and that he'll be dating both Quinn and Kurt (at different times, presumably).

GLEE Season 2 Premier Party

Hell-O GLEEks!

Last night was amazing, wasn't it? And I got to share it with 15 other people...most of them being GLEEks! It was a fun & rowdy bunch. You would have thought we were already watching the Rocky Horror episode because of the level of participation! What a great group!

Aaaaaaaand...I have pix of the food spread! Do you wanna see? Here they are:


GLEEful Food Spread



Gourmet Slushie Cakes a la GLEE (orange & lemon lime)



Gourmet Slushie Cakes a la GLEE (cherry & grape)



Bread Sticks

Blue Gatorade Slushies!



Carrot Chips w/ Caramel "Drizzle" (my fave snack mash-up!)

Aaand...they brought me a pink bubblegum cigar that says It's A Girl for Baby Beth!



Another shot of the GLEEful spread!


My pix of the Brittany Bars I made & the brownies someone brought didn't turn out apparently. But you can still see them in the pix of the full spread!

Just a note that our local Sonic was so kind to donate the straws for the slushies!

So what did you all do & have for you premier watching? Can't wait to hear!

Yet Another Guest Appearance...

From Daily Mail Reporter at www.dailymail.co.uk:

It's one of the most popular shows on TV, winning countless awards and a steadily growing fanbase.

And now it looks as if Gwyneth Paltrow is in talks to guest star in season two of the hit show.

The 37-year-old year old is in discussions to play a love interest for Matthew Morrison's character Will Schuester.
Dot Jones and Jane Lynch

According to sources involved with the show, Gwyneth will star in two episodes airing in November.

When Will gets sick, Gwyneth's substitute teacher will take over the glee club

Complications arise when the Will starts to fall for the popular new teacher, causing tension in his relationship with Emma, played by Jayma Mays.

E! Online reports that the role was written especially for Gwyneth, by her friend and Glee creator Ryan Murphy.

The actress will sing and dance in her episodes, which will begin shooting in two weeks if she agrees to take part.

And she should have no problems at all with singing, after all the practise she got in new movie Country Strong, which opens in December.
Gwyneth Paltrow

New promo pictures released by Fox show Jane Lynch's character Sue Sylvester with new nemesis Coach Beiste, played by Dot Jones.

And it looks like Couch Beist will be more than a match for tough-talking Sue Sylvester.

Lynch appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night to talk about the new season.

She said: 'I love this character. The pathos is just amazing. She wears red lipstick, and then every once in a while, you see tears going down her cheeks.

'Her feelings get hurt very easily, and so of course, Sue Sylvester goes after her.'

Spears Speaks!

From Christopher Rosen at www.wetpaint.com/glee:

The season premiere of Glee is tomorrow night, but as exciting as that moment will surely be, it can't possibly top next week's episode: the Britney Spears tribute!

"Working on Glee was an amazing experience," says Spears in a press release. "The cast is so talented, and I really had an incredible time working with Ryan Murphy." Great job, Brit. And you didn't even sound like a robot. Just kidding. You did.

Meanwhile, we've finally got some confirmation that the all-Brit episode will feature "Me Against the Music," "... Baby One More Time" and "Toxic." Dear next week: Get here!

Things Coming Up...

Hey #GLEEks!

First off, are you following my countdown? We are so close!!!

Well, planning for my personal viewing party is underway! My most awesome invite refused to send, so I just gave info to my GLEEky friends. We are going to chow down on items from my GLEE menu & enjoy the kickoff to Season 2! YEA!!

What is everyone else planning on doing? I would LOVE to hear!!

Also, in preparation for the GLEE Halloween episode giving tribute to Rocky Horror, you might want to check out www.rockyhorror.com to see what's in store if you do NOT know what this movie is about! WARNING: There may be content in this site deemed a bit inappropriate. So you can imagine what the full-length movie is like! (And it's never in it's entirety when shown on TV!)

Anyway...just making my preparations for a GLEEful time!! Hope you all are too!!

Oh The Horror!

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything GLEEks...but this one I couldn't wait to post!!

From Kevin Fitzpatrick at www.ugo.com:

Just when you thought the list of guest stars coming to your TV this fall couldn't get any bigger, we've learned at least one picture show will be filled with horror.

In addition to the news from Comic-Con that at the behest of Chris Colfer (Kurt), Ryan Murphy had agreed to do an episode paying tribute to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, we've learned that so far at least two original cast members have signed on. Actor Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors) and former music-man Meat Loaf (Eddie, Ex-Delivery Boy) will appear in the October 26th, and likely Halloween-themed episode.

Bostwick and Loaf will play TV station managers with "an interesting proposal" for Sue Sylvester. While no additional deals have been signed, E! also reports that former cast member Susan Sarandon has an interest in participating in the episode. Could Tim Curry be far behind?

The news of these guest-stars follows Glee's already impressive guest-roster of John Stamos, Susan Boyle and Britney Spears herself for a tribute episode entitled "Brittany Britney."

** YEA!! Rocky Horror for Halloween!!! **

Brit on Brit

From Catriona Wrightman of www.digitlspy.com:

Heather Morris has revealed details of the storyline in the upcoming Britney Spears episode of Glee.

Morris, who plays Brittany, told E! Online that the tribute will see New Directions clash with Mr Schuester (Matthew Morrison).

"We want to do [Britney] for a [glee club] performance and Will Schuester doesn't allow it," she explained. "He doesn't agree with us. My character's arc [in the episode], in a way, is Britney Spears!"

She added: "You figure out my character's last name!"

Morris also revealed that she loved working with Spears, who filmed a cameo for the episode.

"She did such a good job," she said. "She was very, very quiet and very sweet. She was awesome."

Glee returns for a new season on September 21 on Fox.


*** By the way, Heather...Brittany's last name is Woods. Did you forget the last name, too? ***
