Oh the Britmanity!

It's here!  The long awaited Britney/Brittany episode of Glee.  Now I was just as excited as everyone else when I saw the promo for the ep.  While it was great to see the "Princess of Pop" get paid tribute to, the episode a whole fell short.  The song choices of course were fun but the storyline was well...kind of stupid, until the end when we got to the heart of things with Mr. Shue's feelings for Emma and Rachel finally learning to trust Finn.  This isn't to say that "Britney Mania" was ALL bad.  I really enjoyed the "Toxic" performance and the guys' reactions to the new, sexy Rachel!  What did you guys think?  Was the ep. worth all the hype?  Or like me, did you feel that the show was capable of SO much more, especially with a genius like Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck) controlling the reigns?

The New Guy on Glee: A closer look at Chord Overstreet

And yes, that's his real name, not a stage name!  Hailing from Nashville and being the son of a Country music star from a young age he was encouraged to follow his love and passion for music; And lucky for us he did.   His adorably geeky demeanor, great voice, and guitar playing ability make him the perfect addition to our quirky Glee club and a perfect rival for Finn not only in the choir room but on the football field as well!  This is what Overstreet had to say about his role on Glee:

"You kind of have to stay in good shape. I actually signed that in my contract. It was all about having to have one or two shirts off scenes for every episode. I'm like the Taylor Lautner of TV now."

What's most interesting about Sam (Chord's character) is  wondering how his sexuality will pout on the show.  Originally, it seemed that he would be a mate for our Kurt but recently we see a romance starting with him and Quinn?  What?!  Somehow though I don't feel that this relationship is the end of our Sam's journey for love on the show.  I for one am excited about Chord joining the cast and looking forward to seeing what happens with his character Sam. Offscreren the 21 year old has been linked to a recently single Rumor Willis.  Also, Chord will be starring in the upcoming flick Warrior (2011) alongside the Twilight duo of Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene.  Check out Chord performing alongside Dianna Agron in just about the cutest performance of Lucky" (try not to swoon too hard! SO cute!).

GLEE Execs Not Gleeful About Mark Salling Pursuing Own Music Career

So if you're as big of a GLEE fan as I am you were probably somewhat surprised that Puck (Mark Salling) was strangely absent from the show this week (10/12).  Mr. Shuster gives us an abrupt and awkward reason as to why Puck is gone.  He tells us that Puck is in Juvenile Hall for causing some mischief.  The scene is clearly forced and feels super uncomfortable, and now we know why.  The badass, guitar playing crooner from Glee may permanently be off of the hit show!  The head hanchos at Glee felt it disrespectful for Salling to take a greater interest in his jazz fusion band Jericho rather than the show.  They may consider it a breach of contract.  I feel as though this is a poor decisions by both parties.  His character will certainly be missed from the show and feel a little empty and it just doesn't seem like a smart career choice on Mark's behalf to strain a relationship that has made you part of one of the most popular shows on television and a Pop-Culture phenomenon!   There are however other reports saying that this isn't the case stating, "It's all incorrect. Of course Mark is still on the show, he just wasn't in that episode." Is this true or is something shady going on?  What do you guys think?  How do you guys feel about Sallings character Puck possibly not being part of our beloved Glee club anymore?  Sound off with your comments!

Fill your day with Glee

It's no surprise that a show from the creator of Nip/Tuck is well received; However, what is surprising is that it is not nearly as dark as Nip/Tuck. This oddball glee club is not only entertaining but also have personal lives that are just as interesting. Every character brings something special to the table. The other element of this show that I like is the mix of pop songs and show tunes. The bringing together of both makes for a truly enjoyable 40 minutes of television. So in case you're not one of the millions of viewers already watching hop on board the glee train and start watching!
