Darren Criss Sings "More Than A Feeling" At Nationals, Adam Lambert Paper Dolls: The Week in Gleek
Playing With Dolls
Our sister site, The Backlot, has whipped up some gorgeous Adam Lambert paper dolls. Print out a copy and start playing with Starchild today!
Such a Tease
She's not debuting the video for her single "Cannonball" until Thursday on Entertainment Tonight, but Lea Michele gave fans a sneak peek on Instagram today. Check it out below.
Riding in the Car with Boys
At least one Gleek is excited about the "Cannonball" debut tomorrow. Michele's co-star Kevin McHale showed some love for the song with an Instagram video showing him and his crew singing along in the car while on vacation in Brazil. "'Cannonball' on the radio in brazil!! @msleamichele," he tweeted.
That's What Friends Are For
With the publicity engine for Michele's new album, Louder, about to go into overdrive, it's understandable she might want to rest up. So she grabbed BFF Jonathan Groff (getting ready for his own big debut on HBO's Looking) and headed down to Mexico.
Perhaps we can get a Lea cameo in an upcoming episode of Looking. We imagine there's a pretty big crossover audience.

Dot Marie Is Golden
Who says a Las Vegas birthday is reserved for 21-year-old starlets? Dot Marie Jones, a.k.a. Glee's Coach Beiste, celebrated her 50th birthday at the Palazzo resort with friends, family and new wife Bridget Casteen. (The cake looked too fantastic to eat.)
Also, it looks like the ladies might've gotten matching tattoos while in Sin City.

Glee returns on February 25 but there's some details out there already on Episode 11, which doesn't air until March 11. So if you don't like spoilers, stop reading now.
* The episode, "City of Angels," features the return of Dancing with the Stars winner Amber Riley, and more of Pitch Perfect’s Stylar Astin as Jean-Baptiste, the leader of New Directions' main rivals, Throat Explosion. (Astin makes his debut in Episode 10.) Ironically. WetPaint reports the character is quite similar to Jesse St. James, the backstabbing vocalist played by Groff way back in Season One.
* Playing herself, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin will appear one of the judges at Nationals.
* Everyone's favorite PFLAG dad, Burt Hummel, is expected to make an appearance in the March 11 episode, along with new wife Carole (Romy Rosemont), who is also the mom of the late Finn Hudson. "Just shooting a little Burt scene with my gal Romy. #glee99th," actor Mike O'Malley tweeted recently.
* New Directions hunk Blaine (Darren Criss) will sing Boston's "More Than A Feeling" at Nationals. Given they're both 1970s power ballads, could we be looking at another "Don't Stop Believing"?
