Glee

Samuel Larsen and Damian McGinty have been crowned joint-winners of The Glee Project.

The 19-year-old from California and the 18-year-old from Northern Ireland were announced as the overall champions on tonight's finale, and have each won seven-episode storylines on the third season of Glee.

The pair beat fellow finalists Lindsay Pearce and Alex Newell. However, both Pearce and Newell were also rewarded for their time in the competition with two-episode guest stints on the Fox drama's next run.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy featured as a guest judge on the finale, in which the finalists tackled Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'' for their homework assignment, and took on Pink's 'Raise Your Glass' for this week's music video.

The Glee Project's executive producer Michael Davies recently revealed that he feels "incredibly confident" about the show's chances of a second season.

"[It hasn't been] officially picked up, [but] talks have begun," he told reporters at the Television Critics Association. "A lot of the planning has begun."

The Glee Project is reportedly close to being renewed for a second season.

The Oxygen reality show, which searched for a new star to appear on Glee, came to a close at the weekend.

The network is now close to officially announcing a second season of the programme, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Fans of the show have already been invited to sign up to receive information about casting for a potential second season. One source claimed that almost 50,000 people have joined the mailing list so far.

Oxygen is expected to begin auditions for a second season of The Glee Project in the fall with four or five open castings around the country. Stars from Glee are also thought to be in negotiations to appear at the auditions.

However, it is not yet clear whether The Glee Project will be able to offer another storyline on Glee as the show has not yet been renewed for a fourth season.

When the first series of The Glee Project began casting, Glee had already received an unusual deal for a second and third season.

The Glee Project's executive producer Michael Davies recently revealed that he is feeling "incredibly confident" about the show's future.

30 Rock star Cheyenne Jackson married his long-term partner Monte Lapka yesterday.

Jackson and Lapka wed in the Hamptons, New York, where same-sex marriage was recently legalised.

"It's official, after 11 years together, married the best man I've ever known," Jackson tweeted this weekend, along with a photo of the newlyweds.

The actor is best known for his regular recurring role on NBC comedy 30 Rock as Danny Baker.

More recently, Jackson appeared on Fox musical series Glee as the coach of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline.

Glee's executive producer Ryan Murphy has revealed that he thinks the third season will be "amazing".

Murphy told TV Guide that he already knows the storyline for the entire season.

"Before we did anything, we figured out where we were going," he said. "Who graduates? Who doesn't?

"Do they go off into the ether or do they stay in Ohio? This time we know what we're writing towards, which is great."

Murphy explained that the idea of what to do after high school will be a big theme, saying: "Sometimes college isn't for everyone. What do you do if that's your sneaking suspicion? What happens?"

Murphy also revealed that the new writers on the show, who he claimed have "big opinions", spent a long time working out possible plots for the season before choosing the best.

"From that, came an amazing arc and an amazing season," he said.

Murphy added that he is enjoying working on the new episodes, saying: "I love the Glee scripts and the direction of this year so much. Not that I didn't love season two, but between the tour and the reality show and the movie, it was so much of the business side of things for me. Now, I really am just concentrating on the scripts."

Glee premieres on Tuesday at 8/7c on Fox in the US and on Thursday at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

Do we discuss episodes here? I'm just gonna do it, move it if I'm wrong :p

Anyone love last nights episode? I think it was a nice introducing/gettting back into the mix kinda episode, tying up loose ends etc..

Bit disappointed that they axed Sam, wasn't a huge fan of his but still.. and wish Lauren was still in Glee, she and Puck were funny to watch.

Loved the scene with Rachel and Kurt in the car! I love their newly developed friendship, they have great chemistry :).

And also loved the scene where Rachel was trying to persuade Quinn to come back to Glee - those two should become friends more! Quinn's new look is interesting, wonder how long it will last?

The whole new Mercedes boyfriend thing was a bit weird however :S we don't even know this guy!?

Oh anddd so glad Blaine has transferred to Mckinley! Think I am in love with him :love:

So who are seniors and who are juniors then? When Kurt and Rachel were discussing colleges with Jacob, it sounded like Kurt muttered under his breath that Rachel was a Junior? But then they were proper college searching :confused:

Songs weren't amazing, but not terrible.

... and my essay ends.

Glee star Harry Shum Jr has dropped some hints about the arrival of Mike's parents.

Tamlyn Tomita and Keong Sim recently signed up to play Mike's mother and father and will make their debut in next week's episode.

Shum has now told E! Online that the instalment is "Mike Chang heavy".

"You get to meet the parents, and you see them go head to head a little bit," he teased. "When you finally meet them, you get a sense of Mike Chang's home life and the pressure he has with school."

Shum added that viewers will see Mike's parents "time and time again", saying: "We're diving deeper into his life. I think the storyline definitely calls for that."

Jenna Ushkowitz has previously revealed that her character Tina, who is dating Mike, will meet his parents.

Glee airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Fox in the US and on Thursdays at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

Glee star Amber Riley has admitted that she was nervous about her latest storyline on the show.

In this week's episode, Riley left New Directions and joined Shelby's new glee club.

Riley has now told Entertainment Weekly that she was initially worried about what the move could mean.

"I was scared," she said. "I was like, 'What does that mean? What is she doing?'"

However, she added: "Every actor loves a challenge, and I get to embark on something new, something different that Mercedes hasn't gotten to do."

Riley also teased that "somebody might be coming over with Mercedes from [New Directions]" when the show returns in November.

Glee returns with a new episode on November 1 on Fox in the US and continues on Thursday on Sky1 in the UK.
