Epic Quotes: "Furt" Edition

Here are the best quotes of the episode (in no particular order)!

Kurt: "My Power Rangers got married and divorced in so many combinations they were like Fleetwood Mac."

Doris Sylvester: "Marcia, I'll bet people say you look mannish but you know something, I think it's perfectly alright for a woman to be handsome."

Doris to Sue: "She's a perfectly okay child. She'll grow into her looks and you know what, I believe you still might."

Brittany to Tina about Artie: "When you guys fooled around would he just sorta lay there?"

Sue: "By the power invested in me by a website, I now pronounce you Sue and Sue. You may now kiss yourself."


More epic quotes from all the episodes this season to come!

'Do-its' and Don’ts in “Duets”

The first news of this episode are that Puck is in juvie - as I find, the best “excuse” to give Mark Salling time to promote his new album Pipe Dreams - but no glee club member cared! They asked for the reason but weren’t really compassionate when they found out… I’m sure there are some Puckerman fans among you but you must admit, you weren’t even missing him in this episode (were you?) because the Glee producers made it exciting enough even without him.


Introducing for the First Time..."Furt"!

In this beautifully crafted episode that still had nothing to do with the Glee Club's journey to Sectionals and eventually Regionals (or does it? More coming on this thought) we finally see clearly what Ryan Murphy has been doing this whole season: teaching us about acceptance. Kurt is the obvious one in need of acceptance in this episode and everyone else plays supporting roles but we see that Finn needs acceptance, Sam needs acceptance, Karofsky needs acceptance, Santana needs acceptance, and even Sue Sylvester needs acceptance. And maybe, just maybe, since we've already seen the Glee Club underdogs' journey from club beginnings to a group of people ready to band together and compete, acceptance is just what the Glee Club needs to truly band together in a way that will solidify them as performers allowing them to crush all competition in their path. At least we hope this is all still about the Glee Club as performers in the end.


Glee-Cap: November

Hey Gleeks! How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was fantastic! Hope everyone had a fun and safe one!

Since this amazing website is up and running again, we sadly have missed some major news, especially some from this month so I'm doing a Glee-cap: November!
Here's watcha missed:

Cast & Guest Stars:

-Harry Shum Jr will now be a series regular for season 3! Even though the other Asian has been in almost every episode with the rest of the Glee Club, he will now be considered part of the main cast. Naya Rivera and Heather Morris had similar transitions for season 2. More dancing by the always amazing Mike Chang? Yes, please!

-Katie Couric might be guest starring on Glee! Rumors have it that she'll be playing, well, herself in an episode where she'll be making cameo in the shows post-Super Bowl episode. Katie has also stated that she's a huge fan of the show and a self proclaimed "Gleek" so hopefully everything will work out for her. She might be sharing screen time with Jane Lynch when Sue's Cheerios go to the regional cheerleading championship.

Glee Cast Members Respond to Lohan Controversy

Hey there, Gleeks! Catherine here and I just want to ask: Who's excited for Glee tonight?!?! I am! I can not wait!

Darren Criss & Katy Perry
Thanks to JustJared
Okay, I'm done gushing...moving on to another topic.

Remember a few days ago when I posted that Dina Lohan was "upset" about Glee making fun of her daughter, Lindsay Lohan, for being in rehab so many times in the episode "The Substitute?" Well I just recently got news that a few cast members of Glee spoke out in defense for the show and Gwyneth Paltrow.

At the American Music Awards, PopSugar Rush caught up with Darren Criss and asked him his opinion on the "Lindsay Controversy" and this is what he had to say:
"That wasn't her, [Gwyneth Paltrow] I mean, that was the writing, I mean, that's kinda like the 'go-to-joke.'"
He also said that he has no "beef" with Lindsay.

Character Profile: Quinn Fabray

Soon Rachel reveals to Finn that Puck is the father and Finn and Quinn break up. Quinn is shattered and allows Puck the chance to prove himself as a good father.

To Believe or Not To Believe in "Grilled Cheesus"

One has to wonder the motivation for this episode. Religion, like politics, is a very heated and controversial subject, and one has to wonder what Ryan Murphy's true motivations in bringing this subject so heavily into light in a high school setting are. That aside, this episode balances pro-religion and anti-religion viewpoints beautifully--it never takes a side and it never even subtly proposes one as better than another. In fact, this episode perhaps balanced this topic better than ever done before through Kurt who is expressly atheist who tells his unconscious father that he should have accepted the prayers of the other Glee Clubbers because they were only trying to support him and love him the best they know how, and Kurt says his faith is love.


Character Profile: Sam Evans

Name: Sam Evans

Played By: Chord Overstreet

Age: 16

Family: (unknown)

Bio: Sam Evans transfers to McKinley High from an all boys Boarding School. Sam is first discovered by Finn in the locker rooms, singing 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' in the shower. Sam ends up joining the glee club in 'Duets.' His original duet partner was Kurt, but with Finn pleading to both Sam and Kurt to not partner up, it was decided Sam would duet with Quinn. Sam and Quinn end up becoming a couple. He is definitely one of the cutest boys in the school.

Best Quotes:
'I'm Sam. Sam I am. And I don't like Green Eggs and Ham' (Season 2, Episode 4, Duets)

'(about Kurt): He emailed me like 60 MP3s of him singing and I thought he was Faith Hill. (Season 2, Episode 4, Duets)

'Ain’t no carpool lane to sexy.' (Season 2, Episode 5, The Rocky Horror Glee Show)

'I got asked to be June in the Men of Mckinley High Calendar' (Season 2, Episode 5, The Rocky Horror Glee Show)

'Damn those cool ranch Doritos.' (Season 2, Episode 5, The Rocky Horror Glee Show'

Who is Lea Michele's Boyfriend?

To answer every one's question: Theo Stockman.

For those of you who know your musical theatre news and gossip, then you know he's now appearing in Green Day's musical baby "American Idiot."


Theo Stockman has been on the Broadway circuit for a while now. He also appeared in the Tony Award-winning revival production of "Hair" with character parts ranging from 'Memeber of the Tribe' to 'Hubert' and 'Dad'-Understudy.

Stockman graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2007 with a BFA and Dj's around New York under the name 'DJ Theocracy.'
You've also seen him on ABC's "Cupid" and NBC's "30 Rock."

Before Broadway, Stockman worked for an advertising agency.
“The gig was to dress up in togas, and sell Greek yogurt, There was a script about yogurt and we were going to travel to a yogurt convention — it was pretty ridiculous, but paid.”
Not bad, Lea! However, when is he going to appear on Glee? If he does, will we have a Finn-Rachel-Theo love triangle? That's what we ALL want to know!

When asked about her long-distance relationship, Lea Michele said that she was "happy" and explained what kind of girl she is:
"I'm a relationship girl, I would rather be long-distance with him than not have a relationship at all."
Theo currently resides in New York and Lea lives in Los Angeles.

If you'd like to contact Theo, for any reason I guess, you can contact his representative:

The Glee Cast Heading to England and Ireland!

Gleeks across the pond----rejoice! The cast of Glee is coming to a city near you this summer!!!


These cities include London, Manchester, and Dublin. Are you gleeking out? I am and I live in America! The entire Glee Club (including Darren Criss) will be going across the Atlantic to perform musical numbers like "Empire State of Mind,” “Toxic, “ “My Life Would Suck Without You,” “Don’t Stop Believin," and many more.


Ryan Murphy, the creative genius behind the Glee phenomenon, had this to say:

"We had such a great time putting together last year’s shows and the response from the fans was incredible. People around the world want to see our cast live and in person, so this European tour is our way of thanking them for the unbelievable way they’ve embraced our little show."

The Glee community amazes me! I'm SOOO happy for my U.K counter-part's but I am a tad bit jealous because I want to go to the Glee concert as well....I'm sure our American readers are saying the same thing. Well Gleek-Americans, you too, can rejoice! When Murphy was asked about an American tour, he continued:

"And for everyone in America who has asked if we’ll be back to a city near them this summer, stay tuned. We’ll have some exciting news very soon.”

I don't care what anyone says, I'm taking that for a big "YES" for the American tour!

Just like last year with the Glee Live! In Concert, American Express cardholder's get first dibs on tickets. It starts on November 22 while general public ticket sales on November 26.

2011 Glee Live! In Concert! dates:

June 22           Manchester, England              MEN Arena
June 25           London, England                     O2 Arena
June 26           London, England                     O2 Arena
July 2              Dublin, Ireland                         O2 Arena
July3               Dublin, Ireland                         O2 Arena

To get your tickets go to TicketMaster.com or call  (800) 745-3000
The Glee Tour is also teaming up with I Love All Access so visit GleeTour.com

If they don't say anything about the American tour soon---then you best believe I'm heading to the U.K!

Also, I went to the Glee tour last year and got VIP tickets with I Love All Access. The were pretty pricey but SO well worth it! I HIGHLY recommend them!

Are YOU excited for the tour(s)?

Will Blaine and Kurt Share a Kiss?

Sadly Gleeks, not yet.
Well according to Chris Colfer, at least.

At the GQ Men of the Year Party, Colfer was asked when his character will get to have a smooch with Darren Criss. He continued with saying:

"I don't know, but I think maybe one gay kiss is enough for at least these 10 episodes. Maybe another one in the back nine wouldn't hurt."
I think it's safe to say that there will be one, though! Hopefully never again with Dave Karofsky.

Colfer also revealed that he would love to have Julie Andrews play his grandmother in a guest starring role.
I don't know about you, but I can totally see this happening! Fingers crossed!

Also, Colfer kept quiet about telling too much about Darren Criss' next genius showcase song, but did drop hints by describing it as "being on the radio quite a bit" and "choo-choo."

I'm taking a lucky guess, but I'm thinking it's Train's "Hey, Soul Sister."

Oh, I can not wait to hear this!






[via EOnline]

To Be Continued?

Hi Gleeks, I'm Steph, another brand new writer who is raring to go on this amazing Glee site. My first post is about a big debacle over Glee's continuity.


As hard as it is to say such things about a show that has changed not only mine but many lives, it's not hard to identify one of the major issues for Season Two. Many have blamed Ryan Murphy, others just confused, why is each episode literally staring off on a 'new topic?' I personally have noticed this and quite frankly am confused.

What happened when Puck told Quinn he loved her? Questions like this have circled social networking sites, such as Tumblr and has even turned people off the show..
So I thought up a 'glist' of continuity errors from both Season One and Two.

* Santana and Brittany's 'fight' in Duets
* Puck's feelings for Quinn
* Did Finn's mum kick Quinn out?
* Will's office changes..
* Rachel's Myspace schedule

Are there any others? Please, go ahead and write your thoughts in the comment box. :)

Chris Colfer was "Shocked"

Hey there Gleeks!

On Monday night, GQ threw a "Men of the Year Party" and first of all, I want to know where my invitation went!

Anyway, among the guests were Taylor Lautner, James Franco, and of course the always lovable Chris Colfer.

When asked what his reaction was of the first gay Glee kiss seen around the world, he had this to say:

Shocked! And I thought 'well if I'm shocked, then I think, you know, then America is going to be shocked!'

He also revealed that he will be performing the holiday hit, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Darren Criss for the upcoming much anticipated Glee Christmas episode!

Check it out!




How Many Times has Lindsay Lohan Been to Rehab?

To answer the question, I think about five.
Just sayin'.

Anyway, those of you who watched Glee the other night know that when Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) was substitute teaching the Spanish class, she began asking questions about Lindsay Lohan in Spanish to connect with the class.

Thank you to Perezhilton.com for the picture.

She asked:
"Lindsay Lohan is totally crazy, right?…How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?"
Well according to PerezHilton.com, the Lohans thought the joke was "tasteless" and Dina Lohan apparently responded with saying "shame on them."

Do you think the Glee team was out of line with the jokes? Did you consider it "tasteless"?

I don't know about you, but I thought the jokes were harmless and if a certain somebody, cough, Lindsay Lohan, cough, doesn't want people saying "tasteless" jokes about her, then maybe she shouldn't be putting herself in those situations.

Reality Comes Back to Life

Hey there, fellow Gleeks!

Catherine here and I'm one of the new writers for Glee Club Online and I'm so thrilled to be apart of this amazing website! I just hope you all like me!

This is probably how Holly Holiday felt like in last night's Glee episode when she was introducing herself to the Glee club!

If you're looking for episode summaries, then don't look for me! I love Glee too much to summarize/critique it so I'm just going to be bringing you the latest Glee gossip and news!

For my first entry, I'm going to give you news on Glee auditions for the reality show! If you remember last January, on Fox.com, they had announced a open casting call for talented people between the ages of
16-26 to audition on Myspace.com for a chance to be a character on the show.

Let the rumor mill begin! Everyone except the Glee team were talking and rambling about the character's they were casting and then some news of a reality show started swirling. In a Oprah behind-the-scenes interview with Ryan Murphy (when the Glee club was on her show) he did say he would be bringing in new characters. He was probably referencing to the characters of Sunshine and Blaine.

Skip ahead to April when they started submitting auditions over Myspace.com. If you're anything like me, then you auditioned and embarrassed yourself pretty bad. I know I did! Actually, let's pretend I didn't audition, okay? Yes, it was that bad.



Anyways, move on to summer... when we who auditioned, don't hear anything until July when Ry Murphs (Ryan Murphy) sends us a message over Myspace telling us "Don't Stop Believing"-cute right?

After that, all the commotion died when Fox announced that they would be cancelling the Glee Reality Show competition to find the next Glee star. Let me just ask, I thought I was auditioning for the actual show, Glee! Not a "Grease You're the One that I Want" rip-off. So then with that, all my hopes died as well.

Now yesterday though I found out that the Oxygen Channel is picking up the Glee Reality Show and are now looking for people 18+ to audition. If you fit the requirements of :

"Talented young men and women with strong vocal, acting, dancing abilities and big personalities! Musical theater experience is a plus, but not required."

Then YOU should audition! However, please know that this is for the reality show! Obviously, me not being too bright, thought this was for the actual Glee show and filled out a pre-registration. I guess I got too excited or something. Anyway, Click Here to go to GleeCasting.com to fill it out!

Also you have to be in...

Chicago on December 18 & 19

Dallas on January 8 & 9
There is a song list you must choose from and it must be in a capella.

Song List:

No Air (Jordin Sparks)
Hate on Me (Jill Scott)
Alone (Heart)
One of Us (Joan Osbourne)
And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going (from Dreamgirls)
Every Rose Has It’s Thorn (Poison)
Baby One More Time (Britney)
Gives You Hell (All American Rejects)
Don’t Rain On My Parade (Barbra Streisand)
To Sir, with Love (From To Sir, with Love)

Also those who auditioned online will FINALLY get notifications on Friday, November 19, 2010.
Also if you don't make it through to the next phase of the Glee auditions for your Myspace one, you can always re-audition in person for the announced dates! No word on how they're are planning this Glee Reality Show, but I'm assuming it's going to be good.

Break-a-leg to those who audition! I'm still debating to go and actually audition but I will probably be in Chicago and if you go, let me know so I can get an exclusive interview with a reader who may just be the next big Glee star!

For anymore info please, go to Gleecasting.com!

This is my first blog for this site, take it easy on me! Hope you enjoyed it!
