I have a bone to pick with GLEE on Fox. If you follow me on Twitter & want to unfollow after this post, then please read my previous post.
GLEEonFox has decided to attack the GLEEmunity & act as their very own Sue Sylvester. In starting this exciting little competition of "GLEEk of the Week", it is actually creating a horrific political scene amoungst the GLEEmunity. It makes me wonder if Sue...uh...I mean...er...GLEE on Fox really has it out for the GLEEmunity in it's own greatness.
Even a "glist" of sorts went out at one point. I feel honored to have made that list, but it was a ballot of voting against each other or for yourselves. I did not vote. ALL GLEEks should be worthy of that kind of honor & the reward should be acceptance into the GLEEmunity...in which you all ARE!
So, I think it's really sad seeing my fellow GLEEks competing with each other, when we are really all on the same ground. It hurts my GLEEful heart.
I know the natural competitive spirit will keep this up...and I always give shoutouts for whoever needs it...but...I cannot take sides from my GLEEks going "door-to-door" on Twitter trying to gain a vote that may not even count. I refuse to pick between any of you. Sue...I mean...GLEE on Fox has it's own initial vote. Period.
I live for GLEE & for building the GLEEmunity. I refuse to stack you all up against each other in this nasty game. I feel like Rachael calling you all out!
But...I guess that's how GLEEonFox "c's" it.
************************************************************************
Figgins: And we are not pitting these kids against each other.
Sue: I wanna pit these kids against each other, am I clear?
** Sound like @GLEEonFox with #GLEEkoftheWeek? **

When is Too Young for Botox?
From Teresa Cerajano, Writer for Associated Press:
MANILA, Philippines – Baby-faced teen singer Charice says she prepared for her debut on the hit Fox TV show "Glee" [playing a foriegn exchange student with a big voice] by getting Botox and an anti-aging procedure "to look fresh on camera," but her publicist said the Botox was for muscle pain, not for cosmetic reasons.
The 18-year-old Filipino singer with a booming voice, who recently released her self-titled debut album, saw her career skyrocket after appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' and Oprah Winfrey's talk shows. She underwent a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure and Botox injections to make her "naturally round face" more narrow, celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo told ABS-CBN television.
However, Charice's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said in an e-mail Monday the Botox was "absolutely not cosmetic," and added said the treatment was for muscle pain in her jaw.
Belo did the Botox procedure in front of the cameras.
"You chew gum and it turns out to be a favorite super-exercise for these muscles, your chewing muscles. So we will show you, this muscle here it's a bit protruding," Belo said as she touched Charice's face. "It's like a ball, so we are going to Botox that in order to get it flat so she will have a cuter face ... we want to give you the apple cheek look because it's cute, right?"
Charice, in the same interview, said last week's face makeover was part of her big preparations for her appearance on the hit show's second season. She starts filming at the end of this month.
"All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure," Charice said. Berry is portrayed by Lea Michele, who is 23.
In an earlier TV interview, Charice said she auditioned for "Glee" in mid-June in Los Angeles and was thankful to have been accepted.
"It's really a blessing," she said, adding she was "very proud to be an Asian, very proud to be Filipino."
On the streets of Manila on Monday, some residents who follow Charice had mixed feelings about what she did with her face.
"I think it's OK for women to have procedures done, but Charice is too young. Does she need it?" said Patricia Carpio, a 21-year-old student.
For Myrna Lumanao, a 23-year-old seller in a doughnut stall, looking natural is better. "I guess she can afford to have those procedures done because she has the money, but I wish she did not change her looks."
Dr. Malcolm Roth, president of New York's Society of Plastic Surgeons and director of plastic surgery at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, said he wasn't sure how someone so young could benefit from Botox.
"You would think that the makeup people could take care of (any wrinkles she might have) or that they could take care of it in post-production," he said.
But Roth said there might be some benefits for on-camera teens in Hollywood. "Some people do have hyperactive muscles and muscles are what create the wrinkles in certain types of expressions. ... It may be of some benefit for the camera, but I would be reticent to consider Botox for a normal 18-year-old."
Thermage is a non-surgical procedure that uses radio frequency technology, but Roth said evidence was inconclusive on whether skin can be tightened without surgery.
Born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco and raised with her brother by a single mother, she sang in local contests and appeared on TV talent shows in the Philippines and South Korea before she got a big break on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" at age 15.
She later appeared several times on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" and credits Winfrey for helping push her career.

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…

One of Rachael's Dads?
From broadwayworld.com
According the The Press Association, Torchwood star and stage favorite John Barrowman is on a quest to land a role on GLEE as one of Rachel Berry's dads. He tells the Heat: "I have no idea if I'll be in it, I met with their casting people and I said I'd love to be in it - I'd be good as one of Rachel's gay dads!"
No feedback yet as to whether or not he landed the role.
Television's most award-winning new series, GLEE was honored in its inaugural season with 19 Emmy nominations; a Peabody Award; a Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Comedy or Musical; a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series; and a People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy. The music from GLEE is an international sensation with "Glee: The Music, Volume 1" and "Glee: The Music, Volume 2" topping charts in Australia, the U.K., New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. In the U.S., over 4.5 million songs have been downloaded, and both albums have been certified Gold for sales in excess of 500,000 units.
Barrowman is best known on British television for presenting work for the BBC and for his role as Captain Jack Harkness in the science fiction series Doctor Who and Torchwood. Barrowman has appeared on Live & Kicking and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical talent shows Any Dream Will Do, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, and I'd Do Anything. Barrowman was a contestant on the celebrity ice skating show Dancing on Ice and was a guest act for the Royal Variety Performance. In 1998, Barrowman was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical, and in 2006 he was votEd Stonewall's "Entertainer of the Year". He has been featured on more than a dozen musical theatre recordings including cover tunes found on the certified gold album Another Side (2007), and Music Music Music (2008), the second Top 40 album by Barrowman to reach the UK albums and singles charts. His self-titled release John Barrowman (2010), received the highest chart rating of any of Barrowman's albums to date. With his sister as co-author, Barrowman has published two memoirs and autobiographies, Anything Goes (2008) and I Am What I Am (2009).

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.”

Family Affair?
Source: www.buddytv.com by Henrik Batallones
Really, gleeks, we should've seen this coming: the same way Idina Menzel expressed her interest in joining Glee -- which ended in her taking a guest role in the recently concluded season -- her husband is now saying the same thing.
Talking to E! Online, Taye Diggs said, simply, that he'd also want to do Glee in the future. "I would love to do it," he said. "I love the show. I'm a straight up fan. It's so enjoyable to watch and to see a show for people who to sing and dance."
The Private Practice star also appreciated how the Glee writers treated Menzel's storyline, from kick-ass Vocal Adenaline coach to Rachel's biological mother in less than two months. "I love how they integrated Idina into the show, and I would love to be a guest," he said.
Diggs, of course, is also a Broadway veteran, making a splash as part of the original cast of the Broadway musical Rent -- where he and Menzel met.
That said, would you also want Diggs to join Glee, even if just for one episode? What role should he take? Can we have a little in-joke and have him as one of Rachel's dads?
** I love that he has interest! He'd be awesome! However...it would be funny if he were one of Rachael's dads...but that would mean her Jewish dad is the real father & Rachael made a comment that she loved that she didn't know which one was her real dad. Not sure if that one would work.
OK...comment away, GLEEks!!

The Private Practice star also appreciated how the Glee writers treated Menzel's storyline, from kick-ass Vocal Adenaline coach to Rachel's biological mother in less than two months. "I love how they integrated Idina into the show, and I would love to be a guest," he said.
Diggs, of course, is also a Broadway veteran, making a splash as part of the original cast of the Broadway musical Rent -- where he and Menzel met.
That said, would you also want Diggs to join Glee, even if just for one episode? What role should he take? Can we have a little in-joke and have him as one of Rachel's dads?
** I love that he has interest! He'd be awesome! However...it would be funny if he were one of Rachael's dads...but that would mean her Jewish dad is the real father & Rachael made a comment that she loved that she didn't know which one was her real dad. Not sure if that one would work.
OK...comment away, GLEEks!!

Tony's & Dentist
This coming Sunday, June 13th, the Tony's will air & Matthew Morrison (Will Shuester) & Lea Michelle (Rachael Berry) will be making appearances!!
Also, after much discussion, debate, wondering who could play the dentist that Emma Pillsbury is dating, it has been confirmed that JOHN STAMOS will be appearing on GLEE as Emma's dentist/love interest! Never thought of him, but I think it's a good choice!
