It’s going to be hard for Gleeks to face the long, hot summer without any new Glee episodes, now that the first season has sadly come to an end. But those rabid fans are in luck: EW has some scoop on what we’ll be seeing next year. “We’re plotting the first 11 and we already know the first six of them and they’re really big fun, moving episodes,” says co-creator Ryan Murphy. “We always go back to the idea of how does our society treat and feel about funding for the arts, and the answer is not very good.” Here’s what else Murphy says to expect in Glee‘s second season:
* More Musical Tributes: “The Madonna episode was so popular, I think I’m gonna do two tribute episodes — one in the fall and one in the spring — and we’re figuring out who those artists are.”
* New Characters: Murphy already let it slip that Susan Boyle might be appearing but he and producers are also looking to add some new members to the club, including a boyfriend for Kurt. “I just want him to be an everyday dude,” says Murphy. “And I want him to be sort of struggling [with his sexuality] and Kurt helps him deal with it and in the process they fall for each other.” Also look for a potential love interest for Mercedes and a Carrie Underwood-esque, Christian country singer who will be a rival to Rachel. “When people hear we’re going to do that, they will expect that we’re making fun of her,” says Murphy. “We’re not. The show is about inclusiveness and about giving voices to a lot of people.”
* A Major Season Finale: “I know that season two ends with Nationals in New York. I don’t know if they’ll make it — we haven’t figured that out.”
* More Musical Tributes: “The Madonna episode was so popular, I think I’m gonna do two tribute episodes — one in the fall and one in the spring — and we’re figuring out who those artists are.”

Question: What’s up with the lack of Tina C. time on Glee? Seriously, in the Madonna episode, she got like 30 seconds of screen time. Even Santana got to sing. —Ben A.
Ausiello: Series creator Ryan Murphy intended to give Tina more to do. “I actually had written a scene [in which] Tina was having a dark fantasy…that was sort of an ‘Erotica’/'Justify My Love’ mash-up,” he says. “But it was too long. I’m dying to do [it, though].” And I suspect he will. He adds: “It’s perfect for a sequel.”

Mike O'Malley has had a very busy year. In fact, he's having a busy week -- on Tuesday, April 27, he appears on both FOX juggernaut "Glee" as Burt, Kurt's dad, and as Jim, Lauren Graham's mostly off-again love interest on NBC's "Parenthood."
"I'm just trying to age as ungracefully as I can in front of the nation," O'Malley told Zap2it at the "Glee" Spring Premiere Soiree in Hollywood. We'd argue that O'Malley showcases plenty of grace in the "Glee" episode, "Home," in which he and Chris Colfer deftly portray the delicate relationship between a gruff single father and his gay son.
"There's a lot at stake in their relationship and [we're] trying to show other people how it can be, in a positive way," O'Malley says. "I'm not saying hey, let's go to Greenwich Village and be in the parade. This is very very difficult, but he loves his son."
As for "Parenthood," O'Malley scoffs. "Every time I'm on that show, Lauren Graham breaks up with me. I hope to God she comes to her senses and realizes I am what she needs."
Don't miss the video below to hear O'Malley tell us about the possibility of Burt breaking into song.
Don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled!

"Two years older and got all the good parts. Then went on cruise ships and did theme park work. Then got a crack addiction and nine years later realized that the arts and the glee club was good for nothing," NPH reveals. "So he is out to cut school funding and get rid of the glee club."
"Glee's" own Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) tells Zap2it, "I have a terrific scene with Neil. He plays a great, kind of has-been arrogant kind of character who used to be a glee clubber and now is all bitter about any musical dreams. And he's on the school board now and wants to cut the glee club and I'm of course in favor of that."
We can't wait! NPH's episode, titled "Dream On," airs May 18 on FOX.

While it seems like Glee writers have not delved into Quinn’s pregnancy, it is by design and not by ignorance.
“In the first 13 episodes, we had way too much baby drama with Terri and the fake baby,” said series creator Ryan Murphy, “so one of the things we’ve pulled back from is the pregnancy story. Quinn’s clearly pregnant, but….she has other things going on. We don’t go overboard on it anymore.”
It is confirmed that she will, however, give birth in the show’s season finale.

Jason in South Salem, N.Y.: I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I am in love with the pilot of Glee! What can we look forward to in the fall?
First off, you can look forward to a whole summer full of Glee scoop. Earlier this year we hit the set of Glee, where they were filming Queen's "Somebody to Love." Plus, we were at the premiere, so we're overloaded with scoop. Let's start with the fact that Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) actually takes a break from the Glee club around episode five. Lea tells us, "She won't be gone for long, that's for sure. She's still on the show, she just might take a break from the Glee club." Enter Kristin Chenoweth as April Rhodes, the high school dropout/drunk who steps in to take over while Rachel is gone.
The article also has spoilers/info of True Blood, Burn Notice, Weeds, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Saving Grace, and lots of other shows that I didn't list.
