( first look at NPH on Glee )

Next Tuesday’s Glee, as Jane Lynch’s shot-by-shot remake of “Vogue” revealed, will be an all-out Madonna extravaganza, featuring such hit songs as “Express Yourself,” “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Prayer,” and “4 Minutes.” In the episode, Mr. Schuester asks the girls in glee club to select various Madonna tracks to sing, and the episode already has one major supporter — the Material Girl herself. “I think Mr. Schuester is very cute,” Madonna said in a statement to Fox, “and I’m glad he’s doing such a good job empowering the girls.” And… that’s all, Madonna? No comment on what you make of the show’s interpretation of your music? No praise for Glee’s young ensemble cast? And no mention of the pure awesomeness that is Jane Lynch? Grumble, grumble…

Yes, Glee's Kevin McHale Will Be White-Boy Rapping This Season

Kevin McHale plays Artie—the kid in the wheelchair—on the hit TV show Glee, which begins its second season tonight. Those of you who followed my weekly Glee-caps last season may recall my “affectionate” descriptions of Artie after his star turn in the episode “Wheels” (and those of you who don’t give a whit about my tireless efforts here at VF.com may have spotted him in the print magazine with his male Glee cohorts pretending to be one of five contemporary, and very soggy, sartorial clones of Gene Kelly in his Singing in the Rain phase.) I find Artie to be one of the most compelling and sympathetic characters on the show—plus, I naturally side with the underdog—so while everyone else in the media echo chamber was attending to his bipedally-abled co-stars, I snuck in and chose him as my first-ever cast interviewee.

( cut for long. Not really any spoilers but they do talk vaguely about the future episodes )

Also, a friendly reminder-- if you are involved in the 2010 Valentine's Day mix exchange the deadline is actually today. However, I padded it with a few days cos I know these things tend to sneak up on people (um, like me, because I totally thought (and so did a few people) that the deadline was tomorrow...).
That said, I'd really like to have the post up some time on Valentine's Day so please try and get them to me ASAP!

Neil Diamond loved the cover!

This might be the best tweet ever: @neildiamond Hey, so who's this guy Puck singing "Sweet Caroline" so good,so good,so good on #Glee? Loved it!! (@Mark_Salling must be a puddle of goo right about now.)

Going off of this entry onceinspired posted, we have this, and I'm beginning to agree more and more--

( When Matthew Morrison's Mr. S. burst into 'Thong Song,' he sounded like he was in a music video, not a suburban high school. The same tune could be sung of his 'Bust a Move.' )
