OK GLEEks...stick with me on this...
It was reported that Artie & Puck are reauditioning for the Glee Club, but one won't make it! That's already heartbreaking! But in putting puzzle pieces together, here's who I think will be the one to NOT make it...
Take a deep breath & brace yourselves...
Artie.
Ugh! That breaks my heart just putting that, but here's a couple of reasons I think it:
1. Artie & Tina will be seperating as Tina falls for Mike. A big reason would be if Artie is not around Tina while she's in Glee with Mike.
2. Javier Bardem will be guest starring as a Spanish rock star that befriends Artie. Maybe he needs a confidence booster since he isn't in the club AND lost his girlfriend!
Please know that this isn't what I want...I totally LOVE Artie! Just thinking it through, the writing's on the wall.
What are your thoughts? Do you think I'm right?

Christmas in July = PRESENTS
From Eonline.com's Krisin Dos Santos:
Glee is back, baby! OK, not on your television set just yet, but the stars are finally back on set as of today.
So what, and more importantly who, can we expect to see this season? The cast and producers hit up the TV Academy to celebrate their 19 nominations, and when Matthew Morrison wasn't assaulting me (see Part 1!), boss Ryan Murphy was spilling scoop on the status of Jonathan Groff, Javier Bardem, Neil Patrick Harris, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel and….wait a minute…Paul McCartney?!
This is high school, so let's do a little roll call on season two, shall we? Starting off with the most exciting:
Patrick Ecclesine/FOX Jonathan Groff: Present! "Jonathan is doing a play in London till January," boss Ryan Murphy explains. "But yeah, as it moves toward the big competition, I think he has to come back and give Rachel a pep talk, don't you? So yes, he will be back." Allow me to repeat those words to you: Yes, Jonathan Groff will be back on Glee. I'll pause while you spazz out with jazz hands, back flips and/or raucous applause...your choice.
John Stamos: Present! Jayma Mays is just a smidge excited for her "first date" with her new love interest as you can see in the exclusive video above! Says Ryan, "A lot of people don't realize, but you know, in the tradition of Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth and Jonathan Groff, he has had really great experience on Broadway, and we're excited about him and think he is perfect for this role."
Neil Patrick Harris: (Fingers Crossed) Present! They're working on it. "We would love to have Neil back," Ryan says. "We have a little problem that he's a regular on another show. But he's in the Fox family and they help us out a great deal with that. I think we've just begun to see the tip of the villainry for Brian Ryan."
When I suggested Teri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig) hook up with NPH's Brian Ryan (who, remember, had a crush on her in high school), Ryan said: "I think that's a great idea actually. We had Jessalyn ear-marked for another person but…" To which Jessalyn interjected: "Who? Javier Bardem? Yo hablo Espanol." ¡Yo LOL!
Javier Bardem: ¡Presente! "It was a very sweet thing," Ryan says about meeting Javier. "I'm doing a movie, Eat Prey Love, and Javier Bardem is in it with Julia Roberts. I hadn't met him, and so I went up to him and I said, 'Buddy, congratulations on your Best Actor nomination at Cannes.' And he said, "I do not want to talk about that I want to talk about Glee.' He rented the whole first season and watched them and said it was like crack to him. And he loved what it was about and he asked if I would write him a role. He said, "I want to be a Spanish rock 'n' roll star." And so I'm going to see him this week and we'll see how he's going to fit in. It will definitely be in the second half of the season."
Wicked Awesome Stars: Present! Says Ryan: We're going to have Kristin Chenoweth back. Idina Menzel back. People that we love we love and we just keep bringing them back.
Paul McCartney: Would Like to Be Present! When asked about the actors and musicians who are now asking to be a part of Glee, Ryan revealed that Paul McCartney is one of them. "The other day a package arrived at my office and I opened it up and it said 'Mixtape From Paul McCartney.' It was very sweet...It was a CD, I apologize. It was these amazing songs that I grew up with. And I said, "Is this a joke?" It literally said "Greeting, from Paul." This is a strange, strange world we live in, and it's awesome."
Mike Chang, Brittany and Santana: More Present! You'll see more of all three of these character this season, complete with Santana-Brittany liplock and Mike-Tina pairing. "We just happened upon three really brilliant people," executive producer Ian Brennan explains. "We're just like holy s--t. And then to be able to find room for these people and to be able to investigate them is such a joy. I can't wait for those episodes."
All Your Old Faves: Present! This quote might excite you fans the most, cause Ryan is making sure we know that they are not turning Glee into a guest-star-of-the-week or theme-of-the-week show. "I think because of the back half of the first season, people thought that season two would be bigger and brighter and more numbers," Ryan tells me, "but actually we are doing a different approach. When we did the tour, we saw how people just went nuts when these kids came out and we really feel a responsibility to write to the characters we have and break them out and give them more moments to shine." Say it with me now: Holllleeer.

More O'Malley, More Spoilers, more, More, MORE!
By Korbi at www.givememyremote.com:
When I spoke to GLEE’s Mike O’Malley (Kurt’s dad, Burt Hummel) on Monday — in honor of his Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor — I got the feeling that the audience’s wish to see more of his character may be coming true.
But O’Malley couldn’t quite confirm anything.
Thankfully, I got some face time with his boss, executive producer Ryan Murphy, later in the day and he made the news official.
Mike O’Malley will indeed be a series regular for GLEE season 2.
This is a great thing for wonderful guy whom writer/producer Brad Falchuk named immediately when I asked if there was a particular nomination — among the show’s whopping 19 — that they were really excited about.
You can see this for yourself in my full video interview with him, Murphy, and Ian Brennan below… along with the reveal of a whole slew of other semi-spoilers, such as the fate of Rachel and Finn’s relationship this season — they will be a legitimate couple all year long, despite struggling with their clear differences — and the fact that Puck and Quinn won’t be together, as Quinn has her own journey to navigate now that she’s sans baby — the guys say she’ll be back to her old, bitchy self while somehow managing to maintain BFF status with Mercedes.
And what about a Puck and Rachel reunion?
The show may go there again, Murphy shares. It’s definitely possible. But he promises that a duet between the two of them this season is a sure thing.
What else did I learn?
Well, most of the outrageous guest star rumors are completely untrue, especially since they intend to really keep the focus on their regular cast members this year.
Javier Bardem, however, is a huge fan of the show and Murphy will write something for him, because how do you say no to Javier Bardem?
There is also a Britney Spears episode in the works — which Brit Brit is not expected to appear in — but it will somehow put the spotlight on her. Murphy says it won’t be like the Madonna-themed ep — in which, 10 of the artist’s songs were worked into the hour — or like the Lady Gaga-themed ep — during which, the artist’s fashion sense was really put on display — but something rather unlike anything they’ve done before. And the very quotable ditz, Brittany (Heather Morris), will apparently take center stage for it, singing two entire songs.
The guys say there is absolutely nothing in the works with Justin Timberlake though, so JT will not be wooing Terri Schuester (Jessalyn Gilsig) this season. Terri will be back in the mix full time, however, devoting her day-to-day efforts to winning Will back. One of the ways she’ll try to do it? By getting involved with a dude who’s actually capable of making him jealous. Whom that guy is, though, is still a mystery at this moment.
Kristin Chenoweth, as we previously reported, will return and the boys are just crossing their fingers that they’ll get the chance to bring Neil Patrick Harris, Jonathan Groff and Idina Menzel back as well…

Season 2 Spoilers, Hopes & Dreams...
From Examiner.com's Danielle Turchiano:
Last night the three writers of Fox' hit musical comedy glee gathered at the Writer's Guild of America Theater in Beverly Hills for a Paley Center for Media moderated question and answer session about what it's like to work on such a show. Creator Ryan Murphy and his cohorts in crime Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuck all spoke the highest praises of their experience on the show and with the network.
"I approach it as I do everything: how'd that happen?" Murphy only half-joked when congratulated on the show's academy recognition, receiving nineteen Emmy nominations, including nominations for all three men as writers.
He admitted that it was mostly due to the support of the network that they were allowed to expand from only a few numbers per episode to eight or nine, but he did tell the crowd of Gleeks that the second season will see a return to only about five per episode in order to allow for more character moments.
"That's something you learn [is more important] as you go," Murphy theorized.
Murphy also shared that lucky fans sticking around for the Sunday panel of his show at Comic Con will be treated to exclusive footage from the MySpace national talent search. He announced last night to Paley Center members and fans that they are extending their search until September because they want to be sure they find the right person but also because they want to spend the beginning part of the season focusing on the immense talent they already have, rather than bringing in more.
One of the characters they will, of course, be expanding is that of Rachel (Lea Michele), who Murphy said he truly understands because he "get[s] madness and vulnerability." Rachel and Finn (Cory Monteith)'s relationship will be explored more, as well because Murphy also feels it is interesting to "keep them together-- this totally different couple-- and see what that looks like."
And of course, Finn still has the secret that he really did sleep with Santana (Naya Rivera). Murphy said that could make an episode in and of itself as Rachel learns of his not quite lie but still untruth and then has to deal with it.
But as Falchuk added, "everything is heightened" in high school, so undoubtedly they will still break up, get back together, and potentially even sleep with other people before all is said and done! Murphy himself doesn't want to see Rachel and Finn sleep together too soon because he feels that once that happens "all the air gets let out of the room." If he has his way, then, the fan favorite couple won't be getting physical until a few seasons down the road.
But they will still be bringing in new characters-- some to throw obstacles and some to come in as "mentors" or friends. Murphy confirmed that Javier Bardem will be guest starring on the show after the two worked together in the upcoming film Eat, Pray, Love with Julia Roberts. Murphy congratulated him at a press junket about winning an acting award at the Cannes film festival, and he said "I don't want to talk about Cannes; I want to talk about glee!" Murphy imitated Bardem's accent and everything for the crowd. Apparently, according to Murphy anyway, Bardem "downloaded all of the episodes and watched them [in a row] in a crack binge."
"How do you say no to Javier Bardem? You don't!" Murphy laughed.
Though other entertainment news outlets have been reporting that John Stamos has been cast as Emma (Jayma Mays)'s new love interest, Murphy admitted they are still looking at "a very short list" of candidates. "He has to be someone so amazing he would blow Will out of the water!" Murphy explained.
And Matthew Morrison fans may have another reason to worry about his character next season. Falchuck said that the thing about glee is that it needs villains, and one of his favorite ones to write is Will's ex-wife, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig). "[She's] not just a bitch; she has a point of view," Falchuck explained. "She will do anything to get Will, just as [last season] she did anything to keep him. She's just a woman in love; it makes her more sympathetic."
Additionally, season two will see the return of Kristin Chenoweth in an episode the guys are about to embark upon writing, and Murphy expressed an interest in seeing Neil Patrick Harris reprise his role of angry Bryan Ryan but "he's on a competing network!" Jonathan Groff, would be a welcome return, as well, but he is committed to doing a play in London until January-- and didn't his character graduate last season anyway??-- so that is looking like a no go...for now.
And of course, there will be another road to Nationals. We will see Sectionals and Regionals and Nationals all throughout next season. However, Murphy would like to point out that just because we see the end game doesn't mean New Directions makes it there. "It's like the Rocky movies," he joked. "They will get to Russia eventually...[but] I also think it would be interesting to see them just go to New York to experience it."
But if every season of glee comes full-circle the way Murphy said he intends them to, then one would assume that this first season was about lessons in humility, being the underdog, and not coming out on top, but season two will most likely be about them coming into their own and shining on a larger level.

Javier Bardem will ROCK Season 2
From nymag.com:
Javier Bardem is expected to appear on the second season of Glee, following in the footsteps of celebrity guest stars Neil Patrick Harris, Kristin Chenoweth and Josh Groban, according to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello. Bardem reportedly pitched the idea to Glee creator Ryan Murphy, his director on the upcoming Eat Pray Love. Though the thought of Bardem playing one of Rachel Berry’s dads (paired with Hugh Jackman perhaps?) has us salivating like Mr. Schuester in the hair product aisle, the Oscar winner will instead be taking on the role of a rock star who befriends wheelchair-bound Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” said Bardem, who claims to have watched the entire first season of Glee in a week, “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
