Gossip Teen

In early December it was announced that Taylor Lautner landed the lead in Incarceron – the movie to be based on the popular book by Catherine Fisher.

The story of the Finn, the teen raised in a futuristic prison, he discovers a way to communicate with Claudia, the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron.

So who is going to be Claudia? Deadline is reporting that Emma Watson, Blake Lively and Jennifer Lawrence are the top three contenders for the coveted part.

Watson just finished the Harry Potter films and has a small part in the upcoming My Week With Marilyn. Lively will be in the Seth Rogen superhero flick Green Hornet (and of course on Gossip Girl). Lawrence was in Winter’s Bone last year and is rumored for a part with Jackson Rathbone in the upcoming Truckstop.

What do you think of these three choices to play opposite Taylor? Any other suggestions?

Glee is all new tonight and after last week’s emotional “Furt” when Kurt (Chris Colfer) left New Directions to join the zero tolerance to bullying Dalton Academy, the show choir heads off to sectionals. Good news! Blaine (Darren Criss) returns tonight as Kurt joined the Dalton Academy Warblers and the choirs sing it out at the competition.

What are the songs in tonight’s episode: “Special Education?”

• Blaine, Kurt and The Warblers sing “Hey Soul Sister” by Train.
• Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Quinn (Dianna Agron) duet on “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” from Dirty Dancing.
• Santana (Naya Rivera) gets a solo in “Valerie” by The Zutons
• Kurt and Rachel (Lea Michele) diva-off with “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”
• Florence & the Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over” is on the list for tonight
• Mike & the Mechanics 80s hit “The Living Years” is resurrected by a competing choir, The Hipsters.

Principal Figgins is back as Coach Sue (Jane Lynch) stepped down from the head chair and John Stamos popular Dr. Carl also returns as his relationship with Emma (Jayma Mays) moves along. I wish they’d get Sunshine (Charice) back!

What do you think? Will the McKinley High misfits take Sectionals?

Tuesday’s episode of Glee promises to have some fantastic moments, but none quite as charming as witnessing the New Directions gang in Kid Form.

Not only will “The Substitute” have more fantastic Darren Criss; Gwyneth Paltrow guests and sings a sanitized version of Cee-Lo’s “F*** You” song (it has been changed to “Forget You”) – we will also see Mercedes (Amber Riley) Brittany (Heather Morris) Santana (Naya Rivera) Rachel (Lea Michele) Finn (Cory Monteith) Puck (Mark Salling) Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) Sam (Chord Overstreet) Quinn (Dianna Agron) Kurt (Chris Colfer) Artie (Kevin McHale) and Mike (Harry Shum Jr.) all as children as Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is very ill and hallucinates the show choir team as adolescent versions of their current selves.

Check out the video below to see the kids interacting with the cast and crew and how they really have their alter egos onscreen personalities down. (Little Mercedes was so cute and wait till you see the little charmer that plays kid-Puck! A mighty mini mohawk and attitude. Awesome!)

Catch this episode on Fox, Tuesday November 16th at 8pm ET.

Glee returns Tuesday, November 9th with a brand new episode “Never Been Kissed.” This is the episode we finally meet Blaine (Darren Criss) the out and proud student of the Dalton Academy Warblers who becomes sort of a mentor to Kurt (Chris Colfer) and is Kurt’s possible love interest creator Ryan Murphy has been teasing us with all year long. Puck (Mark Salling) returns and becomes friends with Artie (Kevin McHale) as both want to get their girls back: Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz.) Charice also pops up again. Here is the official synopsis:

After Finn (Cory Monteith) and Sam (Chord Overstreet) find an unconventional way of controlling their urges, a few glee club members pick up on the strategy and start using it too. But when Coach Beiste (Dot Jones) gets wind of what they are up to, the glee club has some explaining to do.

A number of preview clips of the episode are below, including Criss’ version of Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream and a behind the scenes look at the Glee guys performing for Coach Beiste. Check it: Read more »

Chord Overstreet is the new guy on the Glee block. In last week episode, we saw Overstreet’s Sam go for it with head cheerio Quinn (Dianna Agron) and the two definitely light up the screen when they are together. In the October 26th episode that uses The Rocky Horror Picture Show as it’s inspiration/theme, Chord is Rocky in all his golden shorts glory. E!Online’s Watch With Kristen nabbed some one on one time with him and he dished some details on Sam’s relationship future with Quinn, a possible Puck-off, how come Sam rarely wears a shirt and is he dating Rumer Willis:

Does Sam get the girl: “I really love working with Dianna so far, and we have good chemistry,” says Chord. “I’d definitely like to see that go somewhere. There’s a spark between us, and something there that Sam will try to pursue. He has to be delicate with it because of what happened with Quinn and the baby last year. He understands that about her, and is trying to take a slow approach to it.”

Do Puck and Sam take it outside: “It all depends on how Puck (Mark Salling) still feels about Quinn,” he laughs. “We could get at it with each other. He obviously had a kid with her. He’s in juvie now and in comes the new guy stealing his ex-woman?”

Shirtless Sam sends everyone swooning: “I talked to my agent and said that basically I’m the Taylor Lautner of TV. We both have our shirts off a lot. And we have the same agent so we goof around about it. I’m waiting to open a script and see my shirt on.” Hey, it’s not so bad, right? “For every episode I have my shirt off, I get a bonus. Like a $50,000 check with my name on it.” Relax, he’s just joshin’.

The rumors about him and Rumer: Chord says he’s single. “If you go out in public anywhere, people are going to assume that you are dating,” he told Ryan Seacrest on his morning show this week. “We’re just friends. She tried to get me to dance, and I’m not a really good dancer, so I was hesitant on that one.”

Chord’s character is a terrific addition to Glee. I certainly hope he turns into a regular on the series and that creator Ryan Murphy really begins to delve into his character’s story arc more. NO MORE THEME EPISODES.

Glee is getting into the Halloween spirit for the October 26th episode. A tribute to the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the theme of the evening. Fox has released the first photos of the stars in costume and which Rocky original role they are reprising.

• Kurt (Chris Colfer) will be Riff Raff
• Finn (Cory Monteith) as Brad
• Sam (Chord Overstreet) as Rocky
• Quinn and Santana (Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera) will both be Magenta
• Dr. Carl (John Stamos) will play Eddie
• Rachel (Lea Michele) as Janet
• Mercedes (Amber Riley) will be Frank-N-Furter

This looks like it could be such a fun episode but I hope the theme shows are over after this one. It is such a better dynamic when the songs truly fit the character arc happening, instead of the writers attempting to shoehorn a story around an artist (the Britney Spears full length video episode for example.)

Check out the early peek at some of those characters in make-up below.

‘Throwdown’ is gonna be good. If you missed last week’s episode of Glee, (the recap is here) Coach Sue is now co-captain of the Glee-ers with Will and the two will be butting heads and trading sharp barbs with each other.

Entertainment Weekly has a preview of one of the songs (“Keep Holding On” by Avril Lavigne) featured in the upcoming episode airing Wednesday October 14th at 9PM EST on Fox. Are you watching? Do you like Glee – tell us what you think.

Glee Episode 5: ‘The Rhodes Not Taken’ - another gem of an episode tonight. Kristen Chenowith guest starred as April Rhodes, a boozy former glee club star that Will had a crush on when they were in high school and was recruited to help fill the void left when Rachel departed for Cabaret.

Quick Plot Synopsis: Puck spills the beans on Quinn’s pregnancy, Finn courts Rachel to come back to Glee, Coach Sue gives Rachel complete control over the play, and April gets Kurt drunk and gives him muscle mags are just some of the night highlights. But Chenowith stole the show with her leading the club on Carrie Underwood’s song ‘Last Name.’

Now to the PTB (Powers That Be) – Please give Kristen Chenowith a recurring role.
