“Glee” airs its third season finale this upcoming Tuesday with a special graduation episode. Ever since it was announced half the cast were seniors and leaving McKinley High this year, speculation began on who was leaving the series. While it was certain that Rachel, Kurt and Finn would continue with the show, the remaining senior’s fates who weren’t heading to NYC were up in the air.

For Season 4, Ryan Murphy revealed that Rachel, Finn and Kurt’s adventures in the Big Apple would be a show within a show. With Mercedes, Santana and Quinn all having different plans, many wondered if we had seen the last of them on the FOX show. Speculation hit a fever pitch last week when both Mercedes and Quinn posted tweets that inferred they were leaving the show.

“Thank you Ryan Murphy for believing in me and helping me move forward in my career! Season 4 is going to be amazing.” – Amber Riley (Mercedes)

‘Four years of love, light & support. To the cast, crew & creators. And to all of you that have shown your love along the way. We just can’t thank you enough. This has always been a very surreal experience. X’ – Dianna Agron (Quinn)

I can see why fans thought Amber and Quinn were leaving the show. Their Tweets were definitely cryptic. Ryan Murphy decided to put all rumors to rest and confirmed who’s staying on with the show. Find out below.

I’m not usually the one who writes about Glee on Homorazzi, but Lindsay Lohan on the other hand – love her! In last night’s episode of Glee, Lindsay Lohan and Perez Hilton guest starred as themselves, alongside Rex Lee and it was amazing!

Playing the judges for the “Nationals,” the three over-the-top personalities waiting backstage and discussed who they thought should win. Needless to say their egos got in the way and Lohan even made a joke about a “comeback”. My favorite line from her was, “I show up here and there isn’t even a red button I can push and a chair that can spin me around, where I can then point at a kid onstage and say, ‘I want to work with you’? I’m seriously firing my manager.” LOL. This scene was the Lindsay Lohan that I’ve missed and I also have to hand it to Perez as well – I’ve never seen him act, but he didn’t do a bad job of playing himself at all.

In case you missed the episode or you’d like to watch it again, check out the clip below.

The second season of “The Glee Project” is less than a month away which means it’s time for Oxygen to start promoting it. We’ve already met the 14 contestants vying for a coveted guest starring role on “Glee” next season. This year’s group is an eclectic bunch which include visually impaired, paralyzed and transgendered competitors. Now that we know who they are, it’s time to hear what these people have in terms of vocal ability. Not surprisingly, a few of them didn’t match up to what I had envisioned them to sound like.

To showcase all 14 individuals’ vocal talents, the producers filmed them covering one of the music industry’s most influential artists. Last year, “The Glee Project” cast performed Katy Perry’s “Firework“. This time around, the crew sang Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory”. Even though, I’m not a huge fan of “Firework”, I much preferred last year’s group collaboration on that track. That being said, the new class do a solid performance on “Edge of Glory“. Watch a clip of it below.

The other day I shared all the songs from “Glee’s” upcoming prom episode, “Prom-a-saurus“. Today, I have another treat for you. And if you’re a fan of One Direction, you’re in for a really big dino-sized treat. Five of the New Direction boys tackle the UK boy band’s infectious hit “What Makes You Beautiful“. Infectious doesn’t even begin to describe it. I can’t get enough of the addictive pop track.

Along with Artie, Sam, Mike, Rory and Joe’s performance, the embedded clip brings up a couple of questions. What’s the reason Brittany banned hair gel from the senior prom? Why does Blaine look so terrified? Lastly, what almost prevented Rachel and Finn from attending the party? I guess we’ll have to wait til Tuesday’s episode to have those questions answered.

After watching the clip, be sure to check out the behind the scenes video as well. The five members of McKinley High’s faux One Direction cover band joke about their group dynamic. Can you figure out which of the boys are the “damaged one” and “stylish one“? Watch the clip afterward and find out.

Ain’t no party, like a Brittany S. Pearce party. Or in this case a prom. McKinley High’s resident dim-witted blond organizes the school’s senior prom. Instead of lame themes like “Under The Sea” or “Enchanted Forest”, the senior class president decides to go with a dinosaur theme. Naturally, of course. Ergo, the episode’s title, “Prom-a-saurus“.

Given the title, Ke$ha’s “Dinosaur” is a natural fit and gets the New Directions treatment. Brittany herself covers the track. Other artists featured in 19th episode of the third season are, Selena Gomez & The Scene, One Direction, Fergie and 80s group Berlin. Overall, it’s a good mix of sappy love songs and catchy pop songs, especially One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful“. Hate to admit it, but I’m addicted to that track and the UK boy band. Listen to all the tracks below before FOX takes them all down.

We’re getting closer to the season of finale of Glee and the upcoming graduation of some of our favorite characters. I’m still very interested to see what kind of direction the show will take when most of its players depart from the halls of McKinley High. In this week’s episode, Rachel and Kurt finally hit the stage for their NYADA auditions which are being judged by none other than Whoopi Goldberg. Perfection. It’s seems that Broadway may be the theme minus a few other tracks thrown into the mix.

The boys and the girls each get their own time to shine. The boys take on a “My Fair Lady” classic with a punk/rock twist in “The Rain In Spain” while the girls throw some shade in “Cell Block Tango” originally from “Chicago”. For what I assume to be Rachel and Kurt’s NYADA auditions, we’ll also hear a song from “The Boy From Oz.” But wait, no Barbara Streisand for Rachel’s audition? I am absolutely shocked.

The three contemporary hits in the playlist are Florence and the Machine’s “Shake It Out” along with Kelly Clarkson’s “Cry“. Appropriately with the end of the school year ahead, Puck and crew rock out to the Alice Cooper classic rock hit, “School’s Out“. In my opinion, the track list is a little all over the place. I’m interested to find out how these songs all work out in context. Give them all a listen below.

“Glee” aired it’s Whitney Houston tribute this week and IMHO it was one of their best “theme” episodes. For the most part, the cast did a stellar job on some of Houston’s classic. That being said, no one can come close to Whitney’s talent, especially on her signature songs. Chris Colfer (Kurt) was given the enviable task of tackling one of her most popular tracks, “I Have Nothing“, which brings me to this post.

“The Bodyguard” ballad is by far Houston’s most covered track on talent shows. It’s soaring and powerful, yet not “I Will Always Love You“. No sane person really wants to sing that incredibly difficult, especially live. “I Have Nothing” has been covered seven times on “American Idol” tying “Against All Odds” as the most performed song during the semifinals and finals of the Fox show. I’m sure it’s probably the most covered song if you take into account all reality singing competitions. It’s popped up on most of the international Idols, “X Factor” and “The Voice“.

For the purpose of this post, I decided to just compare and rank only the “American Idol” performances. “I Have Nothing” was first covered on Season 2 with Trenyce and all the way to the current season where Shannon Magrane butchered it during the Whitney Houston theme week. Watch all the videos below and be sure to cast your vote in our poll.

Last year, New Directions made it all the way to Nationals in New York City. The McKinley High kids have once again qualified to compete with the best of the best and hoping to take the prize this year. Being that this is the last chance for the seniors like Rachel, Kurt, Mercedes and company, I fully anticipate them finally being victorious. Standing in their way on the judging panel are three celebrity judges.

Lindsay Lohan’s appearance on “Glee” was revealed weeks ago, but her co-judges haven’t until now. Lohan along with these two guest stars have started filming their scenes for the two-hour Nationals episode airing on May 15th. LiLo is reportedly playing a heightened version of herself with some really funny moments including complaining about not having one of those cool red swivel chairs from “The Voice“. I don’t blame her, I totally want one of those chairs in my living room. Continue reading to find out who’s joining her in the episode.
