Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the musical comedy series, confirmed his interest in the I Dreamed A Dream star for the McKinley High canteen.

He told Entertainment Weekly: "I have two words for you - lunch lady. I think Kurt would just die to give [Susan] a Christmas makeover. I don't even know if she's interested but it’s been pitched."

Murphy also revealed that plans are afoot to release a Glee Christmas album.

Glee is stirring up some new third-party drama for star-crossed lovebirds Will and Emma. In the June 8 season finale, Will comes to learn that Emma has moved on in a big way-She's been secretly romancing her dentist! "This is going to be a major character," a source close to the Fox phenom says of the tooth doc, who will make his first appearance early next season. Not surprisingly, producers are looking to cast a big name-preferably one with a legendary smile.

Glee has been given an unexpected third season pick-up, it has been confirmed.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the musical comedy - which recently became the top scripted show among adult viewers - has impressed Fox bosses.

"In just one year, Glee has transcended the television landscape and emerged as a global pop culture phenomenon,” said Peter Rice, Fox's entertainment chairman.

"Everything about Glee - from the concept to the characters to the marketing - has been innovative and risky, but with [series creator] Ryan Murphy tapping into the zeitgeist, the risk has paid off with this truly remarkable series," added Kevin Reilly, the network's entertainment president.

"Glee has one of the most active, devoted fan bases I've ever seen, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to give Gleeks a third season of their favourite show."

Meanwhile, Ryan Murphy said of the show's success: "It's been a whirlwind year - from shooting the pilot to performing at the White House to the concert tour that began last week - and yet we all feel like we've just begun this amazing musical journey. We think our Gleeks worldwide are going to love what we’ll have in store for them in seasons two and three."

I'm just not feeling the new episodes. The music and storylines don't compare to the first half of the season.

Jane Lynch has revealed details about the upcoming season finale of Glee.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actress explained that the episode will focus on the regionals competition.

"So it's New Directions, Vocal Adrenaline and then this other [group]," she said. "What are they called? Oral Fixation or something like that, I forget the name of it. Oral Intensity! But that's just as bad."

Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, added that Jonathan Groff will have an exciting musical number during the episode.

"So there's the three groups, and Vocal Adrenaline is Jonathan Groff's - Jesse St James' - group," she said. "He's back with them. He does a number - God, I don't know if I can say it - it's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. That number is one of the most stunning... I mean, I watched them shoot it. It was one of the most stunning musical things I've ever seen in my life."

Lynch also revealed that Sue will have an important role in the competition, saying: "There's four judges. Two of them are national celebrities and two are local celebrities. I'm one of the local celebrity judges. That I will tease. And the two celebrity judges are two celebrities who have already been on our show in past episodes."

Glee was recently picked up for a third season even though the second has not yet been filmed.

I agree with you Abigail. I'm really not enjoying Glee any more and am on the verge of not bothering.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has said that he plans to add a Christian character to the show's lineup.

Murphy revealed that the part, which has yet to be cast, will be outspoken and well-respected as well as help kids from conservative backgrounds feel included.

"We've taken a couple jabs at the right-wing this year," he told TV Guide.

"So what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognise and say, 'Oh, look - I'm represented there, too!' If we're trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we've got to include that point of view as well."

Murphy also confessed that he has no plans to write in the characters of Rachel's gay dads.

"I like feeling their parenting influence without meeting them. At least for another season."
