Fans across the country are gearing up for the next chunk of Glee episodes to air on Fox. The show took a hiatus after it’s “Sectionals” episode back in December, so that the cast and crew could catch up, while also giving American Idol complete run of the network. Now that Idol is coming to a close soon enough, it’s time for the world of scripted musicals to shine again.
Last season brought in some great cameos such as Kristen Chenoweth and Josh Groban, but this second half is said to have names like Neil Patrick Harris, Adam Lambert, and many more to grace the screen. Not only is the second half of season one already packed with celebs, but there’s even going to be an entire episode dedicated to the song stylings of Madonna.
Even Jane Lynch’s “Sue Sylvester” is getting in the spirit with a new viral promo. Take a look at the newest TV spot, and what Sue has to say about “sneaky gays” after the jump. Be sure to catch all new episodes of Glee starting April 13th.

With Glee getting nominated for tons of awards since it’s premiere last spring, they’ve delivered time and time again with performances and guest spots. Many feel that the Kristen Chenoweth guest appearance last year was one of the best episodes of the season, and it may get even better next season.
E! Online is reporting that Neil Patrick Harris has been confirmed for a guest stint on the upcoming season, and with his ever growing popularity of Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog, you can expect his appearance on the Fox series to be a memorable one. From E!
Hold on to your track pants, Sue Sylvester! ‘Cause one solid Glee insider tells me that Neil is playing a character who is “really funny and really mean.” I’m told he will be “much more of the Dr. Horrible variety than Doogie Howser, M.D.”
So not only will we get the How I Met Your Mother star to sing and dance on the show, but he’s going to be evil like Dr. Horrible? Not sure how this could get any better. The Glee writers are currently penning the episode, so expect more details to hit soon.
Glee returns to Fox on April 13th.

Glee is one of the new shows this season that seems to keep turning heads on a consistent basis. The fact that it’s a musical show, and still able to incorporate comedy, romance, and a bit of an After School Special feel to it while still remaining popular each week in very impressive.
Tonight’s episode is entitled “The Rhodes Not Taken” in which special guest star Kristin Chenoweth plays April Rhodes, an old classmate of Will’s. Kristen is known on Broadway for her work in such performances as Wicked, and known in the TV community for her supporting role on ABC’s Pushing Daisies.
The show’s music has been doing exponentially better each week in sales. From a Fox Press release:
Columbia Records and Twentieth Century Fox Television today released select songs featured in this week’s episode of GLEE, including show-stopping versions of “Maybe This Time” from “Cabaret” performed by APRIL RHODES (guest star Kristin Chenoweth) and RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michele) and Heart’s “Alone” sung by APRIL (Chenoweth) and WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison). These tracks join 11 songs already available on iTunes, including “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which shot up to No. 1 after the GLEE preview event, as well as Michele’s “Take A Bow,” which peaked at No. 6 and “Taking Chances” which peaked at No. 11.
