Video Gallery: Happy Birthday, Mr. Schuester!-- Er, Matthew Morrison!

Happy birthday, Mr. Schuester! Yep: Today is Glee star Matthew Morrison’s 33rd birthday. We’d sing “Happy Birthday” to him, but something tells me he might be better off not hearing that. So instead, we’ve assembled a Matthew-Through-the-Ages retrospective, so he can take a look back on his career and how far he’s come since those early days at NYU. Ready for some hard-core musical theatre? Here we go! More »

Glee Report Card: You Get An Asian F

Glee Report Card: You Get An Asian F

Just as I’m starting to get back into Glee, Fox has to go and throw a hiatus in my face. IN MY FACE. Now I just feel cranky and ashamed. But Tuesday night’s episode was good enough to tide me over for a while—there were some solid emotional moments (most of which didn’t make me cringe at all!) and plenty of good performances. So let’s take a look at those son More »

Glee Report Card: West Side Boring

Glee Report Card: West Side Boring

I’m kind of freaking out, because I haven’t hated Glee two weeks in a row now. Like, I’m not on the love train, but the begrudging enjoyment train is almost as problematic. Weirdly enough, there’s been an increased focus on plot and some hints of character development. On the other hand, more plot means fewer songs, which is actually kind of disappointing. Especially if you’re doing a weekly recap focused on grading the episodes’ musical numbers. What about my needs, Ryan Murphy? More »

Poll: Is Matthew Morrison’s NKOTBSB Tour Dancing Fun Or Just Pathetic?

Poll: Is Matthew Morrison's NKOTBSB Tour Dancing Fun Or Just Pathetic?

Despite getting his start as superb dancer Link Larkin in Broadway’s Hairspray, Matthew Morrison must have a contractual obligation that forces him to give all of the dance scenes on Glee to the kids. We know this because he breaks into dance at every other chance he gets: On Oprah, on Jay Leno, and now at the NKOTBSB tour. He’s opening for the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys supergroup, but his moves just don’t seem to be up to snuff. More »

How to Keep the ‘Glee’ Kids on TV After they Graduate from McKinley High

How to Keep the 'Glee' Kids on TV After they Graduate from McKinley High

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has said that Rachel, Finn and the rest of the gang will be graduating at the end of season three because “you can’t stay in high school forever.” Ha! It’s like he’s never watched TV. Maybe Mr. Murphy can learn a thing or two from the writers of these high school dramas. Because they sat down in a meeting, looked at each other and thought, what would Boy Meets World be without Shaun and Corey?, Buffy without Xander and Willow?. The answer: hollow, empty, shells of TV shows. And if Glee were to become a hollow shell, there’d be a damn echo to deal with as well. More »

Matthew Morrison Is Joining the NKOTBSB Tour -- Here Are Some of His Cheesiest Songs

Glee star Matthew Morrison just announced on Good Morning America that he’ll be hopping on a leg of the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys tour this summer. We think he’s a perfect fit, thanks to the repertoire of cringe-inducing hits he’s covered on the Fox show, plus his own original music offerings. Check out our video gallery to jog your memory.
