Kevin McHale

Is this a sign that the guys from Glee want to cover Village People on the show? Mark Salling, who plays Puck, returned to Twitter after a month of not tweeting and posted a picture of himself and his castmates posing as Village People, along with the caption: “The glee bros and I wanted to keep up our chops up over the hiatus so we formed a tribute band.” So who’s who? We’ve got Harry Shum Jr. as the cowboy, Kevin McHale (we think!) as the construction worker, Cory Monteith as the Native American, Mark as the cop, Darren Criss as the biker, and Chris Colfer as the soldier. All that’s missing are the “YMCA” actions!

Glee may have finished up on TV for the moment but that doesn’t mean we have to wait long until we see some of our favourite stars! As you may have heard, The Hub Productions is presenting Gleek-On, a fan convention where avid Glee fans will have the chance to meet some of the actors from the show. Flying into Australia for the event are Kevin McHale (Artie), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike), Dot Jones (Coach Beiste) and recently-announced guest Ashley Fink (Lauren). Gleek-On takes place in Sydney on Saturday, July 16, and in Melbourne on Sunday, July 17, with passes starting at $95 for a day ticket. And guess what — we’ve got some passes to give away to each event!

We have a double pass valued at $190 up for grabs for each event — one for Sydney, one for Melbourne — so if you’d like the chance for you and a friend to see the Glee stars in the flesh, all you have to do is tell us in the comments how you like to get your Gleek on. Have you ever dressed up as a character, or perhaps you live your life like a musical and belt out the songs?

Terms and Conditions apply. Please specify if you would like Sydney or Melbourne tickets.

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

When the Glee cast visited Australia in 2009 the show had only just started, and while they were popular, they were nowhere near as huge as they are now. Which is why it makes perfect sense for some of the cast members to make another trip Down Under this year! Kevin McHale (Artie), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike) and Dot Jones (Coach Beiste) and a fourth still-to-be-announced guest will be visiting in July to attend two fan events in Sydney (Saturday, July 16) and Melbourne (Sunday, July 17). At Gleek-On presented by Hub Productions, the actors will share some stories, anecdotes and participate in a Q&A session. Fans will also have a chance to meet the stars and get autographs signed! Tickets start at $95 for a day pass, so if you’re a massive Gleek you better get your hands on them quick smart!

Glee has become a huge force in music and pop culture, with heaps of artists lending their tunes to the show (and some prefering to not), but it also keeps up with the zeitgeist and works anything that’s of-the-moment into its episodes. The latest person to get the Glee treatment? YouTube breakout star Rebecca Black, whose song “Friday” has gone viral and racked up more than 101 million views on the video sharing site. According to nymag.com, the song will be sung by Artie (Kevin McHale), Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Puck (Mark Salling), and it will be played during the prom episode. If the prom takes place on a Friday we can definitely see how these guys would be singing about “partying, partying”! Are you excited to hear “Friday” on Glee or do you wish they’d left it alone?

The cast and some crew members of Glee attended the panel for their hit TV show at PaleyFest, and they were chock-full of exciting spoilers and what we can expect from upcoming episodes. Last night’s “Original Song” regionals episode that aired in the US had some big surprises (we’ll see it all unfold next Monday) but here are some more fun bits the cast were able to spill: Darren Criss hasn’t been back to a GAP store since performing a number in the “Silly Love Songs” episode; creator Ryan Murphy called guest stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristin Chenoweth the “muses” of the show; Naya Rivera said she had an “overwhelming response” to Santana’s coming out on the last episode; Cory Monteith thinks it’s more interesting when Finn and Rachel are apart; Vocal Adrenaline and Charice will be back; and there will be an episode dedicated to a whole album (Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours). Unfortunately Lea Michele couldn’t be with her co-stars as she was busy filming scenes with Ashton Kutcher for New Year’s Eve.
