'Glee' Recap: 'I Am Unicorn'

Posted 9/28/11 11:08 am ET by Amy Wilkinson in TV Recaps

Glee I've got to hand it to Brittany: I haven't seen such a preponderance of unicorns, rainbows and glitter since my Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper went missing in the seventh grade. Civic-minded Miss Pierce offered her clearly awesome art skills to Kurt's senior class president campaign on last night's "Glee" because Kurt's obviously a unicorn (Brittany speak for, "someone who knows they're magical and isn't afraid to show it"). Except, well, Kurt did seem a bit anxious letting his inner unicorn take flight, preferring instead a more subdued black-and-white poster.

But senior class president wasn't the only coveted position Kurt was angling for during "I Am Unicorn." With new co-directors (Emma Pillsbury, Coach Beiste and student aide Artie) appointed for the school's production of "West Side Story," it was time for auditions. And Kurt wanted nothing more than to play alpha male Tony. But in a torn-from-the-headlines twist, the directors weren't sure openly gay Kurt was the man for the job. "I need a Tony that excites my lady parts," Coach Beiste explained. A conversation, I should add, Kurt was witness to as he eavesdropped outside the window.

'Glee' Premiere Recap: 'The Purple Piano Project'

Posted 9/21/11 10:22 am ET by Amy Wilkinson in TV Recaps

Glee Class is back in session! And thanks to intrepid McKinley High gossip reporter Jacob Ben Israel, we got a quick status update on our favorite "Glee"sters. First order of business: clearing up who's actually a senior (i.e. headed for a spin-off or unemployment checks) and who still has a year to sing and dance with New Directions. For the record: Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Mike Chang are confirmed seniors. Tina and Artie aren't. (The wheelchair adds a year.)

Further points of clarification: Lauren Zises quit glee, Sam's dad got a new job in a different town, Mercedes is dating a footballer, Santana's modeling her life after her new No. 1 Latina Paula "I'm actually Arab" Abdul, Mr. Schue and Emma are sleeping together (sex not included?) and Quinn is MIA.

Posted 9/2/11 12:31 pm ET by Amy Wilkinson in Polls, Random Yet Notable, TV News

With the start of a new school year comes the inevitable (and unavoidable) task of vogueing for those pesky yearbook photos...and the crippling self-doubt that accompanies them. Did I blink? Is that pulsating zit noticeable? Do I still have Crunch Wrap Supreme stuck in my teeth? But lest you think you're all alone in this embarrassment, trust, we've all been there. Including the characters from our favorite Fox musical series.

In the latest bit of "Glee" season three promotion to hit the web, 18 of Lima, Ohio's best and brightest have posed for a series of awkward school photos that we seriously can't get enough of. There's Rachel with her ever-present microphone. Blaine straightening his Warblers tie. And Coach Beiste squeezing the life out of a football.

'Glee' Star Lea Michele Wonders, 'Will My Boobies Be Bigger' In 3D?

Posted 8/12/11 12:28 pm ET by MTV News in Movie News, Movies, Random Yet Notable, Videos

by Kevin Sullivan

The cast of "Glee" spends enough time playing high-schoolers to know about the pressures that come with being a teen. So if being on the big screen wasn’t uncomfortable enough, the McKinley High gang have a whole new dimension to worry about in "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie," opening today.

"Two dimensions is the right amount," star Chris Colfer joked when we caught up with him at the film's junket recently. But he won't get off that easily! We just had to ask him and the rest of the "Glee"sters which feature they were most excited to see in 3D.

Both Amber Riley and Jenna Ushkowitz thought of their lovely locks. "I want to see hair whipping at me," Jenna said.

'Glee: The 3D Concert Movie' Cast Pick Biggest Flirt, More Superlatives

Posted 8/11/11 3:36 pm ET by Kat Rosenfield in Movies, Random Yet Notable, Videos

With "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" set to delight audiences this weekend and three beloved cast members "graduating" at the end of the season, it's highly necessary that the whole cast finish things off with a bang. And what better way to do that than some classic, bona fide, high-school-style senior superlatives? So we took it to the whole "Glee" cast and asked them to name, off the cuff, their picks for a bunch of bests, worsts and most-likely-tos. (Only unlike our own high school class, we won't be crowning anyone with the self-esteem-shattering title of "Most Likely To End Up In Prison." Why are teenagers so MEAN?)

Most likely to mess up choreography
Harry Shum Jr., Heather Morris and Kevin McHale all say, "Cory [Monteith]," in unison. But Heather isn't sure: "Wait, but no. But yes? But... MARK," she says. Okay, that was too funny; we'll call it a draw.

'Glee' Recap: 'Prom Queen'

Posted 5/11/11 9:28 am ET by Aly Semigran in TV Recaps

Grab your corsages and boutonnieres, Gleeks, it's time to discuss last night's prom-tastic episode of "Glee"! Now, let's break it down by the couples who broke it down together on the dance floor during "Prom Queen":

Mercedes and Sam...and Rachel and....Jesse?!
Opting for a prom on a budget, Mercedes and Rachel asked Sam to be the man in their prom sandwich. But before the trio can even make it to the McKinley High dance, an old face popped into the picture and made it a double date. When Rachel began to sing Adele's powerful "Rolling in the Deep" (even Lea Michele's amazing pipes couldn't go near this one) in the auditorium, Jesse St. James emerged out of nowhere (welcome back, Jonathan Groff...and did you just say "s--t" on TV?!). He explained that not only has he failed out of college, but he came to the realization that he messed up big time with her. She—rather quickly might we add—took him back and brought him to the prom, a move that doesn't sit will with Finn. When Rachel stepped to the mic (New Directions were asked to be the prom's source of music) to sing the out-of-place, but nevertheless awesome "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri, you can tell she was singing it for Finn, who it obviously struck a chord with...

Finn and Quinn
...because Finn punched Jesse's lights out! When he got a glimpse of Rachel on the dance floor with her shady ex, he started a shoving match with Jesse that ended in a full-on brawl. Finn, along with Jesse, was kicked out of the prom by the chaperoning Sue Sylvester, thereby dashing Quinn's dreams of being prom queen. Despite the fact that there's still next year to win the title (they are only juniors, after all), Quinn slapped Rachel in the bathroom. And, in true "Glee" fashion, the two resolved their differences almost instantly.

Do We Need A 3D 'Glee'?

Posted 5/4/11 5:01 pm ET by Amy Wilkinson in Movie News, Movies, TV News

The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber did it, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before "Glee" sang a similar tune. Following in the footsteps of "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience" and "Never Say Never," 20th Century Fox's TV and film divisions are teaming up to produce "Glee Live 3D!," a movie based on the "Glee Live! In Concert!" North American tour, Deadline reports. Which means if you didn't get your grubby little paws on summer tour tickets, you can slap down an Alexander Hamilton to see New Directions on the big screen for a two-week run starting August 12.

The flick will include performances by (almost) all of our favorites: Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mark Salling, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris, Harry Shum Jr, Chord Overstreet, Darren Criss and Ashley Fink. (I want my Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch too!)

Kat Graham, Chord Overstreet, Mark Salling Frolic For OP Ads!

Posted 3/30/11 10:27 am ET by Kat Rosenfield in Eye Candy, Fashion & Style

Here comes summer, y'all! With only a few short weeks 'til the warm weather hits and a brand new collection of beachy trends debut, surf-inspired brand Ocean Pacific has launched a fun and fresh marketing campaign—which, with its cast of cute celebs and collection of buzzworthy videos, comes off less like a catalog and more like a full-fledged CW drama. Welcome to Destination OP! (Note: not to be confused with destination "The O.C.," where fashion takes a backseat to overdosing on painkillers and committing murder.)

With six pretty young actors and a picture-perfect West Coast ghost town to serve as a set, the campaign features Mark Salling, Chord Overstreet, Brenda Song, Aly Michalka, Rob Kardashian and Kat Graham as friends on a fashion-forward summertime road trip—complete with bikinis, board shorts and an endless supply of cute canvas shoes. And after seeing how great the OP line looks on some of our favorite young Hollywood faces, we may just have to head over to Wal-Mart for a closer look at some of those styles.

'Glee' Recap: 'Original Song'

Posted 3/16/11 10:09 am ET by Aly Semigran in TV Recaps

Let's just say it, Gleeks. The thing so many excited "Glee" fans screamed from the virtual rooftop as they jumped on their Facebook and Twitter pages the moment it happened: THEY FINALLY KISSED!

Yes, after weeks of wishing and hoping and waiting, Kurt and Blaine finally locked lips. It was a sweet, real and, shockingly, un-hyped moment (good call, Ryan Murphy, on keeping this one under wraps) that Chris Colfer and Darren Criss handled with dignity and honesty, and let's face it, some serious heat! When Blaine tearfully told Kurt, "You move me," we all swooned (and, okay, cried a little too.)

But, there's plenty more where that kiss came from. Kurt and Blaine and the Warblers had quite a few things going on during this week's episode. In addition to Kurt accidentally killing the group's beloved canary Pavarotti (pro: Chris' lovely rendition of The Beatles' "Blackbird," con: deceased mascot), they were also gearing up for Regionals.

'Glee' Recap: 'Sexy'

Posted 3/9/11 9:28 am ET by Emily Exton in TV Recaps

If you couldn't tell from the parental discretion warning before the start of the episode (a first!), tonight's "Glee" was prepared to (safely) push boundaries. Following last week's relatively consequence-free Alcohol Awareness hour, these sexed up storylines were a welcomed addition to the season, as they uncovered some shocking truths and truly heartbreaking moments that should carry us through Regionals and beyond.

Because McKinley's health and wellness teacher came down with a mad case of the herp, Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow) rode in on her leather-clad white horse to save the day and some severely clueless McKinley students. (Finally Finn's lingering ignorance from last year's hot tub incident is addressed! Brittany S. Pierce believes in The Stork? Well, sure, of course she does.) Along with HH came the return of controversial musical numbers and uncomfortable subject matter, most of which McKinley's adult staff are reluctant to discuss. But wouldn't you have enjoyed hearing Sue's take on sex ed? Or perhaps her regaling the Cheerios with tales of her former lovers? On second thought...
