News (Page 5)

Last week, we gave fans two extra reasons to watch Glee tonight.

Earlier today, the first of those reasons spoke to TV Guide. Her name is Kristin Chenoweth; she's an incredibly talented Emmy winner and she guest stars on the latest episode as April Rhodes, a boozy former member of the singing club.

A few excerpts from her interview:

On April Rhodes: April is a woman who was kind of "the deal" in glee in high school with Matthew Morrison's character. Let's just say he calls on April for some "help.

On playing April: This part is like nothing I've had the chance to do on TV. She's very happy when drinking to ease her pain. I also sing in three very different styles, which is always fun and challenging.

On returning to Glee: I'd love to come back to this show. The cast is superb and the writing is dead-on. I truly had a blast playing this character.

Remember to return to TV Fanatic soon after the episode ends for a detailed recap of events, quotes and music from it. We love this show!

We know, we know: you don't need any extra incentive to watch Glee.

The characters, the quotes, the unique musical numbers. They are all motivation enough to tune in each week for this unique Fox comedy.

But we'd be remiss not to point out a couple of extra special reasons to watch next week's episode, "The Rhodes Not Taken."

1. Guest star Kristen Chenoweth as April Rhodes, a boozed-up, former Glee club member that will set a (bad) example for Lea Michele’s Rachel;
2. The choir's performance of Queen's "Somebody to Love."

First, a look at the Emmy Award-winning Chenoweth:

Next, after the jump, a clip of the group rocking out to a rendition of "Somebody to Love."

Welcome to the latest edition of the Glee Round Table!

As usual, our staff has come together to analyze the latest episode of this musical comedy, an episode that featured a star-making performance by Chris Colfer as Kurt. Let's delve right into the weekly round table discussion...

Do you like Rachel?
A. Cheerio: Not right now, no. Talk about not appreciating what you have! Compare where she was when the series kicked off to now. No glee club to glee club star! Will has given her a chance to show off her one true talent, but the team will never go far if she sings all the solos.

BerryTalented: As my witty name suggests, I still thinks she's Berry talented. But there's no doubt Rachel has to calm down. She has to look at this as a marathon, not a sprint, and see the long-term plans Will has in mind.

FinnFan: Of course I do. She's clearly the best in the group. Will should build the choir around her, like the Patriots and Tom Brady or the Lakers and Kobe Bryant. It's worked out well for those teams.

What was your favorite Sue Sylvester quote from the episode?
A. Cheerio: Man. Can we go back in time and give Sue a spin-off instead of Addison Montgomery? She cracks me up all the time. From last night, I'll go with: I'll often yell at homeless people: 'Hey, how is that homelessness working out for you? Try not being homeless for once.'

BerryTalented: It's short, it's simple, it's hilarious: "Yes, we cane!"

FinnFan: Haha, I laught out loud at pretty much anything actress Jane Lynch says. My favorite this week was her delivery of: "Not everyone is gonna have the walnuts to take a pro-littering stance. But I will not rest until every inch of our fair state is covered in garbage."

While Beyonce's "Single Ladies" played a key role on this week's episode of Glee, a certain taken girl in school is facing a major problem.

Kurt, on the other hand, is quickly becoming accepted at home and with the football players. How he gets there is the focus of the latest, emotional, wonderful installment of this Fox series.

Read a full recap of "Preggers" right now and check out the clip from it below. It speaks for itself:

Among our favorite Glee quotes from the hour were...

Ken: You make this, and you die a legend.
Kurt: Can I pee first? | permalink

Kurt: Hi, I'm Kurt Hummel and I'll be auditioning for the role of kicker. | permalink

Sue: Find your voice. Stomp that yard. All that crap. | permalink

Tremendous news, Glee viewers.

The Fox hit has been picked up for a complete season of episodes!

The show, which initially received a 13-installment order from the network, has garnered solid ratings and has officially received an order for a full 22 episodes. It airs Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. and everyone needs to watch this show.

Catch up the latest Glee music right here and now!

As of the end of this week's episode of Glee, Kurt Hummel is out of the closet.

This isn't exactly a shock to viewers of the Fox show, as Chris Colfer's character often wore corsets to class, among other less-than-straight tendencies.

In an interview with E! News, Colfer said the revelation that Kurt is gay was far from a surprise; but he didn't expect it to be revealed so early in the show.

"In one of the scripts, there was a line where he said something about Liza Minnelli and then got all quiet, so I kind of knew it was coming," the actor said. "But I didn't think it was going to be that fast."

Hummel won't be able to open up to his father as quickly, however. The focus of next week's episode, titled "Preggers," is on Kurt's try-out for the football team. We laugh out loud just imagining that concept.

Kurt will also channel Beyonce on the new installment, photos from which are posted below. Click on each to enlarge...

Another week, another fabulous episode of Glee, another Round Table from our staff of writers.

Soon after each installment of this great Fox series, we'll analyze various plot points, songs and developments. We encourage readers to chime in with comments and answer the questions below, as well. Let's get to it!

What was your favorite performance from the episode?
A. Cheerio: It's gotta be "Poison." Did anyone else see the Scrubs episode from years ago when Turk danced along to this same song? The Acafellas may have done an even better job.

BerryTalented: Clearly Mercedes' version of "Bust Your Windows." Yikes. Remind me to never get on her side. What a great voice, and what an intense star when she gets mad!

FinnFan: I'm sorry, but Finn AND Will singing a rendition of "I Wanna Sex You Up"?!?!? It's like they were reading my mind. Easy winner.

Who did you feel worse for in the episode: Kurt or Sandy?
A. Cheerio: Kurt. I still have tears in my eyes from his admission to Mercedes. What made that storyline so upsetting was just how much it rings true. I'm sure there are countless teenage boys struggling with the same issue.

BerryTalented: Definitely Kurt. I felt badly for both him and Mercedes in that scene. They are both outcasts and both so symbolic of how difficult high school can be for those that aren't attractive or aren't jocks. Sadly, it brought back memories for me.

FinnFan: The obvious answer would be Kurt, but I'll be different and go with Sandy. While played for most comedic purposes, that was actually a very sad moment, when Josh Groban went off on Sandy. It's tough when we realize our role models are not what they seem.

Throngs of screaming teenagers don't do it for Josh Groban.
- Josh Groban

Victor Garber and Josh Groban guest-starred on the latest episode of Glee, with the latter playing a hilarious, rude version of himself.

Also, Will started his own singing group, while Kurt revealed a major secret about himself to Mercedes. It was moving stuff.

Read a detailde recap of "Acafellas" now and let us know if you liked this week's installment.

Josh Groban didn't sing on Glee. But Mercedes busted out an incredible rendition of "Bust Your Windows" that you can buy off iTunes right now!

Our favorite Glee quotes from the hour included:

Sue: I'm going to ask you to smell your armpits. That's the smell of failure, and it's stinking up my office. | permalink

Rachel: We're gonna win because we're different. That what makes us special. | permalink

Kurt: You busted my window.
Mercedes: Well, you busted my heart. | permalink

Cougar: Is that a nipple ring?
Puck: Yeah. I'm pretty rock 'n roll. | permalink

Emma: The critics said Van Halen was dead when David Lee Roth quit. But the hit single "Right Now" proved them wrong. | permalink

What will happen between Will and his wife?

What does the future hold for Rachel and Finn?

There are many storyline-related question that Glee viewers have related to their favorite show, but many fans of this unique series are more focused on another topic: music.

With promises that each episode will feature at least three songs, followers want to know what singles are on tap to be covered by the glee club. A few of the show's stars have the answers:

"We have everything from the Rolling Stones and the Beatles to Jordin Sparks," Lea Michele told E! News.

Added Chris Colfer:

"We do some Queen, John Lennon and then we do some more Beyoncé. There's lots of Beyoncé coming up [starting this week]... I have a couple solo numbers coming up. You might hear a little 'Sweet Caroline,' maybe a Spanish song."

We can't wait for it all.

After each Glee episode, our staff will gather and analyze the latest storylines, songs and quotes from this unique Fox show.

With that in mind, let's get right to this week's Glee Round Table! What did we like and dislike the most about "Showmance?" Take it away, TV Fanatic writers...

What was your favorite performance from the episode?
A. Cheerio: I loved "Push It." It really was pretty raunchy, but I guess it's hard for the FCC to have a problem when a glee club is the one gyrating on stage.

BerryTalented: OMG, Rachel's rendition of "Take a Bow" was amazing. I felt like I was watching Cosette from Les Miserables sing "On My Own."

FinnFan: How can anyone say anything but "Gold Digger" for their answer?!? Matthew Morrison (Will) actually rapped! I think Kanye has competition.

What was your favorite Sue Sylvester quote from the episode?
A. Cheerio: I can only select one? I'll go with: "That was the most offensive thing I've seen in 20 years of teaching — and that includes an elementary school production of Hair."

BerryTalented: Gotta be Sue's random cry from female equality when Will told her to "hold on a second" and she replied: "I resent being told to hold on to anything."

FinnFan: When Quinn said she'd get her boyfriend back if the glee club broke up and Sue dryly responded: "I don't care so much about that."
