Love is in the air, Gleeks! While last night’s episode was called “Ballads” it could have very well been called “Crushes” or, more fittingly, “Crushed.” Not to say that the evening wasn’t chock full of ballads (because, oh, was it ever), but unrequited love seemed to be the show’s recurring theme last night.

While Mr. Schue taught New Directions about just what a ballad is, (“Glee” also seconds as “Music for Dummies” most weeks) it seemed Rachel derailed her crush on Finn (Kurt will take it from here, thanks) and focused it on her oh-so-dreamy glee club teacher. As Mr. Schue paired up the McKinley High crooners (Puck with Mercedes, Artie with Quinn, Finn with Kurt and Tina with Other Asian) he got saddled with the saucer-eyed Rachel. Taking over for Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, a visibly uncomfortable Mr. Schue and Rachel set the tone for the evening.

First there was Quinn and Finn. Then it was Finn and Rachel. And Rachel and Puck. Then Puck and Quinn, and once again Quinn and Finn (it always comes full circle, doesn't it?). But those hookups aren't the only ones the cast of "Glee" want to see steaming up the hallways of McKinley High school.

In fact when Rachel and Finn themselves (Lea Michele and Cory Monteith) stopped by MTV News last week to gossip about the show and its powerhouse soundtrack, we got them to spill on a classmate they're hoping finds a love match.

"I would really like to see Kurt have a relationship," Lea said. "I don't think Puck is the right guy for him for sure — sorry Mark [Salling]!"

Hold the phone, Gleeks, is a show that’s called “Glee” supposed to make me cry this much? That was the question I had on my mind as I unsuccessfully tried to choke back tears in last night’s super emotional episode, titled “Wheels.” While the series hasn’t shied away from tackling controversial topics before (teen pregnancy, homosexuality) they took it to the next level last night.
They may not have been armed with slushies last night, but there was still some tense situations unfolding with some members of New Directions.

The already complicated love triangle between Finn, Quinn, and Puck (who just keeps getting cuter by the week, no?) got worse as Quinn pressured/threatened Finn to get a job to help her with pregnancy finances. As Finn flounders (the poor guy is just too tall for Olive Garden) Puck steps up to help his baby mama and he proves he can be all she needs out of a partner. Quinn, despite laying into Finn for nearly the entire hour doesn’t (yet) choose Puck. While I’d hate to see Finn get hurt, the flirty food fight between Quinn and Puck made me think they’d make an awfully cute, albeit somewhat dysfunctional, family.

The upcoming musical numbers in "Glee" are usually held pretty tightly under wraps, but that doesn't stop us from guessing. So it was no shocker that when the cast swung by the MTV Newsroom last week that we'd press them for details on what's in store.

Amber Riley (who plays Mercedes) was a loyal soldier and kept her lips sealed, but she was no match for MTV News' Jim Cantiello's unflappable detective skills. Check out what resulted in the video below, and then click here to see Jim get a full-on slushie facial.

One of the most hilarious running gags on Fox's hit series "Glee" is the "Slushie Facial," where an unknown assailant douses an unassuming student with an ice-cold slushie. Rachel, Finn, Puck, Kurt...they've all been on the wrong side of a Big Gulp.

So when the "Glee" cast swung by the MTV Newsroom, it's only natural that a Slushie Facial wasn't far behind. The victim? Our very own self-proclaimed Gleek, Jim Cantiello. The culprit? Well you'll just have to watch the video below to find out.

Come back to Crush later today to get the scoop on tonight's episode of "Glee," which airs at 9 p.m. EST.

Greetings Gleeks and members of the Whedonverse! We're betting that since the news broke that Joss Whedon would be heading over to McKinley High School to direct an episode of "Glee," you haven't been able to contain your sci-fi/musical excitement.

Apparently, neither has the man himself. "I talked to him a bunch [at a party], he's really excited," noted Cory Monteith (who plays heartthrob Finn) during a "Glee" club fieldtrip to the MTV offices. "He's a big fan of the show — and [we spoke] before it actually came out that he was going to direct. He spoke to us, the cast, for an hour at this party."

Who doesn't love a guy with a great voice? No one! Week after week, Matthew Morrison as been winning our hearts using his vocal chords (and dance moves!) on "Glee." Haven't you ever heard the way to a woman's heart is through her ears? No? Well then read on and find out why Matthew is this week's Hump Day Hottie.

Press play on the video below to see more of Matt, and then keep reading for more details about him.

Vital Stats: The 31-year-old California native spent a lot of time in theater camp. He grew up doing school plays and later studied theater at the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. He apparently goes by the nickname Matty Fresh. In our search of Matty Fresh's relationship status, we have yet to see if he's hooking up with anybody in real life. We'll have a reward for anyone who can give us more info. (And, by reward we mean a virtual high five!)

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

Young Dakota Fanning was seen looking chic beyond her years leaving a Beverley Hills Diner on Tuesday. With an outfit mash up of punkish black converse (perhaps a style cue she took from Kristen Stewart?), skinny jeans, and a glitzy oversized top, the 15-year-old accomplishes a carefree yet stylish look. A trendy image will come in handy to attract viewers come "New Moon" press tour time. We learned today that she's supposed to appear on "The Jay Leno Show" on November 19, and "Ellen" on November 16th. Let’s just hope those jeans aren’t restricting enough to keep her from dancing with Ellen!

Is it us or are those "Glee" kids simply unstoppable at this point? Whether they are singing at the World Series or gracing a magazine cover, everyone's favorite McKinley High students are poised to take over the world. Need more proof? Their highly-anticipated album dropped today on iTunes and rocketed straight to the #1 spot. And wouldn't you know, the show's stars were downright filled with glee about it. Jenna Ushkowitz tweeted, "Thank you for making us #1 on Itunes already #gleeks! Yall are the BEST!" Kevin McHale posted, "Woke up to the glee soundtrack @ #1 on iTunes, best way to wake up EVER!!! Thank uu!! Keep up the good work! If u don't have it, get it!

After you've downloaded your "Glee" soundtrack (and you better have a good excuse for not already having it!), don't forget, if you're of age, to please go out and vote today. Celebs put out the call for young voters, including Roots and "The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon" drummer Questlove who urged, "people, this election is just as crucial as the presidential election!"

Between all the voting and downloading, we caught up with the rest of today's best tweets, including Peter Facinelli's exclusive Bluetooth service, Tori Spelling's (pictured) cuddle crisis, and Khloe Kardashian's sweet surprise. Don't forget you can always follow us @hollywoodcrush to get up-to-the minute news on all your favorite stars.

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

The cast of "Glee" has a lot to be gleeful about lately (lame pun totally intended). Besides starring on a hit show, the talented stars recently performed at the World Series and captured the cover of Entertainment Weekly . So it's no wonder they took a little break from filming to soak in some Broadway time. Cast members, including Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer and Dianna Agron were Spotted! backstage at the Norah Ephron play "Love, Loss and What I Wore," at Westside Theater. We're guessing they were there to support Jane, who recently joined the production. Jane fans need not fret though, her involvement with "Love, Loss and What I Wore," which has a limited 12-week run, shouldn't affect her role on "Glee."
