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.

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!

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 »

Glee’s amazing Mark Salling grabs your attention on the cover of DaMan magazine for the October/November 2010 issue of the guy glossy. The actor and musician has just released his first solo album Pipe Dreams and has lots to say about his music, his writing process and the surprise success of Glee:

On Pipe Dreams: “This album was a long time coming. It is actually 13 selected tracks from my library that I have compiled over the last 10 years. I wanted to choose a wide variety of songs that showcased my broad musical taste.”

On what inspires him to write: “It can be anything, from the typical love and loss to thinking you are having a bad day; then seeing someone who is a quadriplegic and realizing that you need to count your blessings … oh, and my grandma.”

On what he’d be doing if he weren’t an actor and musician: “I would probably be working in the veterinary field, possibly doing wild bird and small mammal rehabilitation. It is something I feel very passionate about.”

On whether he’d anticipated Glee’s huge success: “I don’t think anybody did, but I had a really good feeling based on the pilot script, so I felt like it had a good chance of being (successful and winning awards). But we work very hard, so any kind of accolade is gratifying.”

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.

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.
