From Christopher Rosen at www.wetpaint.com/glee:
We won't have a new episode of Glee to pore over until February, but when our favorite show returns it will be with its biggest episode yet: The Super Bowl one!
"It's a football-themed show," explained Brad Ellis, a musical director on Glee (you know, the bearded guy with the glasses who plays piano and doesn't say anything?), in USA Today. "It's 500 extras," with cameos by "the USC marching band — the Trojan marching band. It's an enormous undertaking."
What else can Brad spill? For one, the Thriller mash-up is going to be huge. "Lots of dancers doing something very fun to watch them do, doing something really specific," he dished. "People that you don't expect to dance will dance."
And while production slowed due to a few Glee cast members coming down with winter bugs, that wasn't the only reason for the delay. "We also had fog roll in the day before just as we were about to begin filming." Doh! Despite these minor (albeit expensive) setbacks, we can expect the show to be epic.

Berry Dishes!
From Kristin Dos Santos at www.eonline.com:
Oh what Glee this Globes day brings!
The show's five nominations are just what Lea Michele needed to bounce out of her funk over her recent TV breakup. "I'm devastated!" she tells me of Finn and Rachel.
I just hit the set to chat up Lea and fellow nominees Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer and Matthew Morrison (check back soon for scoop from the rest!), and here's what Lea wants you fans to know about what's ahead for Finchel, Puckleberry—did someone say duet?!—Britana and why you Finn and Rachel fans have to watch the Super Bowl episode…
"I'm so upset about it!" Lea told me of the Finchel split. "The tweets that I get about this are so intense. They're like, 'You have ruined the show for me! I am sitting here crying right now.'"
Many of you fans have asked if the show's producers are aware how intensely you feel about the Finchel split and Lea lays it out for you: "I show[ed] the tweets to Ryan Murphy and [I was] like, 'Look what you've done!' And he loved it! He was like 'Really?! Oh my God.' I'm so sad, I love working with Cory [Monteith]."
But step away from that ledge; there is hope for you Finchel fanatics. "They're not keeping us apart," Lea insists. "I still have some really awesome scenes with [Corey], both in the Super Bowl episode and in the Valentine's Day episode …Of course, now that [Rachel] knows what they have she's not going to let it go so easy. But some stuff goes down—oh boy, does some stuff go down. It goes down! So wait until you see that, it's the last scene in the Super Bowl episode."
And though some of us do love the naughty notion of fame-whore Rachel Berry with man-whore Puck, Lea has to laugh. "Puckleberry is bad news! I don't know if we'll ever have a serious relationship. But I love working with Mark [Salling] and we have a great duet in the Super Bowl episode. They throw that in, but I don't know if there's anything real there."
As for the fans clamoring for a Brittany and Santana relationship, Lea hints that she doesn't know of anything in the works at the moment, and admits: "I love Artie and Brittany. And oh my God, he sings a song to her in the Valentine's Day episode that is adorable so I'm really loving them right now. With Brittana, I think it's the same thing as Puckleberry: It's sort of bad news, when they're together they're up to no good."

Agron Takes Control
From Leslie Pandey of www.wetpaint.com/glee:
Whoa! According to multiple sources, Dianna Agron (Quinn) fired her agent and manager in an effort to take back the direction of her career.
Page Six reports that the Glee star made the split in November. "She is delighted with the success of Glee and her role. But she parted ways with them around a month ago. Dianna has been working as an actress since she was a child, she is smart and has a strong grasp on where her career is going." Apparently her agent and manager didn't have that same grasp.
No word yet on what this means for Dianna's future Glee negotiations or other projects, but it's nice to know that a talented young star has enough confidence in her abilities to do what she thinks is right.

Was That Really Jesse We Saw?
OK any Groffsessed GLEEks out there...
While watching New Directions perform at sectionals during Special Education, did anyone else catch this glimpse of a possible Jesse sighting?
Although I believe it may be made to look like he was there, it's almost a bigfoot-type sighting still, but Jonathon Groff is in London right now, but wonder if this was a well-placed decoy to let us know he's coming back...
Thoughts?

Grammy GLEE
From Leslie Pandey at www.wetpaint.com/glee
Get excited, Gleeks! The Glee cast has scored not one but two nominations for the 2011 Grammy Awards! The noms were announced tonight at a performance show hosted by teen queen Selena Gomez and musical legend Stevie Wonder.
So what’s Glee up for? The cast’s now classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” track has been tapped for Best Performance By a Duo or Group. No brainer, right? Our only question: Why did Glee only get one nom in this category? We can think of many, many other songs that could have also made the cut. (“Defying Gravity” was robbed!)
Glee’s second nomination comes in the Compilation Soundtrack category for the first volume of the Glee Soundtrack. (Guess the other volumes are feeling jealous right about now!)
Congrats to the Glee cast! Here’s a look at the competition in these categories:
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals
“Don’t Stop Believin’” — Glee Cast
“Misery” — Maroon 5
“The Only Exception” — Paramore
“Babyfather” — Sade
“Hey, Soul Sister” — Train
Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media
Crazy Heart — Various Artists
Glee: The Music, Volume 1 — Glee Cast
Tremé — Various Artists
True Blood — Various Artists

Superbowl Thriller
GLEEks...Could this be it...?
From Heidi Suke at www.wetpaint.com/glee:
Remember when we said Glee won’t be doing any big name tribute for their post-Super Bowl episode? Well, that’s not entirely true. It turns out they’re going to be performing one of the greatest songs of all time! Are you ready? Are you sure? We’ll give you a hint: It’s not “Don’t Stop Believing.”
According to EW, New Directions will be tackling none other than Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” — but with a twist. Glee will add their signature mashup flair to the King of Pop’s famous tune with another as yet to be determined song. According to sources, the post-Super Bowl ep is set to be the most expensive in Glee history, and will also include music by Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum, and Katy Perry. But that’s not all!
EW continues:
“The post-Super Bowl episode will instead keep with the evening’s sports theme and focus on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester’s cheerleading regionals (the “Thriller” mash-up will be played during halftime of the onscreen pigskin game). Basically, it will be a classic episode of Glee, but just bigger and better; Gleeks can also expect appearances from season two fan favorites: Blaine (Darren Criss) and Coach Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones). Oh, and General Motors is co-sponsoring the episode, which likely means there will be limited commercial interruptions.”
So....whaddya say Gleeks? BOO-YAH!

** The article also reports that the tribute episode in the back nine points to Sir Elton John - torn on this thought. **

Superbowl NON-Tribute
From Catriona Wrightman at www.digitalspy.com:
The team behind Glee has reportedly decided not to devote the Superbowl episode to a single theme.
Previous rumors have suggested that the show would pay tribute to one musician. Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson have both been linked to the episode.
However, Movieline reports that the producers are now strongly considering airing a "regular" episode with music from a number of different artists.
Previous episodes of Glee have paid tribute to Madonna and Britney Spears, while the recent Halloween episode focused on The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
A spokesperson for Fox declined to comment on the reports.

Jealous Bands Denouncing GLEE
Hell-O GLEEks!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days.
I read a few days ago that the Gorillaz are the newest on the list of bands denouncing GLEE & refusing their songs. Keep in mind that GLEE hasn't even asked the Gorillaz for any of their music, but that's hearsay, I guess.
With the Gorillaz making this public (even though no one really asked), they have put themselves in the same boat as Kings of Leon. Coldplay was on that list, but realized something & opened up their catalog for GLEE to use.
It's nice that Coldplay came to their senses, and realized that it is OK for others to cover their music. Lady Gaga & Elton John love it when people cover their music...it's a form of flattery! Heck, Sir Paul McCartney is THROWING his catalog at GLEE & begging them to use it!
Plus I figured something out: any band or solo act who doesn't want their music on GLEE is insecure with themselves and don't want to believe that anyone might be able to do their music BETTER than they can. It happens a lot on GLEE - not with every song, but at least with most of them. Britney Spears, Haley Williams & Bruno Mars have praised the GLEE cast for doing their music & for possibly doing it better. These are artists who are secure in who they are, know the power of GLEE, and know that it helps them out as well.
Any act who is going to whine about GLEE setting records & refusing their catalog to the show (especially if you're not even asked in the first place), GROW UP!! You have tried & true fans! Get over the rest of the world who prefers the GLEE version over yours!
Whiny acts need to just keep their bratty mouths shut! If GLEE wants to use your music (uh, one of the BIGGEST shows right now that is setting records in the music industry), suck it up and take the freaking compliment. If you refuse GLEE even if you aren't even asked (take a hint there, Gorillaz), then you are just trying to be an attention suck & no one wants to pay attention to those kids in class.
That's just my thoughts anyway...
