Sex Education
Written by Duana You guys, you guys. I knew before going in that this episode was about teen sexuality. And this is a hot-button issue for me: I can get on my high horse with no problem about sex education and how much more is required and what we expect teens to get by on. Full Story
Glee gets drunk
Written by Duana I’m writing this somewhere over Nebraska, and weeping like a fool because I just watched Waiting for Superman. I’ve been wanting to watch this, but I somehow didn’t make it until now – if you haven’t seen it, you don’t need my preaching – but it’s about the problems in the American school system, what it needs, what happens to the kids who slip through the cracks, how they can be helped.

Justin Timberlake: Boogers > Glee
Entertainment Weekly reported yesterday that Justin Timberlake is singing again…sort of. He voices a booger on The Cleveland Show, something he was quite enthusiastic about when approached. That, apparently, is the closest we’re going to come to new material from the Pip. Full Story
Apocalypse Glee
Written by Duana Okay, so there’s a what-you-missed-on Glee which is basically just last week, plus some Sue. I get my eyes all ready to roll… Will feels great until Emma runs in because she found that Sue is going to commit suicide. Full Story
Love without Sue or Schue
Written by Duana First of all, let me admit, again, that I am a couple of things. One – a former jazz-choir geek. Two – a Lea Michele apologist. So - does it make me biased if I say I have Rachel’s blue dress that she wore in the last half of the episode? And I love it? So Puck is falling in love with Lauren, and this is a revelation somehow? Because she's bigger? This makes me crazy, but they make up for it by letting Lauren be uninterested in Puck. Full Story
Glee’s real age
Written by DuanaGood Morning, and welcome to an episode of “Glee!” Yes, indeed I have watched this big ol’ episode, and I’ve kind of made a new peace with the show. Full Story
Best Cutaways: Lea Michele
Written by Duana Lea Michele is, in a manner of speaking, what I want for Christmas 2011. Soft spot? For the overdramatic emoting singer who’s 24 going on 17? Me? What do you mean? Okay, first things first. I do kind of love her. That is, I love that she’s unabashedly delighted with being on a hit show and red carpets and isn’t all “Oh but BROADWAY” and guys, she LOVES dressing up and she loves to win and she’s only the same age as Leighton, who’s certainly had some clothing biffs this year. Full Story
Mr Schue & Lonely Boy
While Blake Lively is probably trying to convince Ryan Gosling to make her his steady, her discarded ex-boyfriend Penn Badgley was invited to bro down with Glee’s Matthew Morrison in Punta Cana over the holiday. Thanks to a lovely reader called Kate for the tip. This week the two were at the Hard Rock Resort and have been seen together every night at the casino. Full Story
So This Is Christmas
Written by Duana Here we are, almost a half-season of Glee under our belts. I’ve spit some flames, I know I made lots of you mad but also thank you for all the love for last week’s post about Rachel. Here’s my bargain for this week. Full Story
In defense of...
Written by Duana ...Rachel ANYONE. This week Glee makes the cardinal sin of starting on the adults, and not even Sue, whom I find generally distracting from the show, but at least mildly entertaining on occasion. But it’s okay, because they quickly inform us that this is going to be the ‘deal with the gripes of the audience’ episode. Full Story
Sesame Street for Tweens
Written by Duana I’ve been in the US for five days, feels like longer. When you’re on vacation you notice the differences more. I love Target and I wish there were more independent restaurants and I forgot about the level of familiarity that people have with their morning show hosts here. Full Story
Dina vs Glee/GOOP
Some people you love to hate. I love to hate Katherine Heigl. It’s so much fun. And Jessica Biel too. Very entertaining. Many of you feel the same way about Gwyneth Paltrow. I get that. She’s always there, giving you reason. But Dina Lohan, Dina Lohan you can’t love to hate. Dina Lohan you just hate. Full Story
Gwyneth Hate: More or Less
Written by Duana Let’s just get this all out of the way right now. Yes, I have picked at Glee and will continue to do so because it makes some people laugh. It’s also true that I really super-love singing and dancing and all that. Full Story
Glee: Boys sing girls sing boys
Written by Duana So, previously on Glee, one shot of the Rocky Horror show, followed by a whole bunch of half baked storylines we haven't seen in weeks. It’s like they plot the show with huge holes in between for the musical episodes without plot that guest stars need to be in, you know? Okay, so Sam and Finn are discussing how they're dating "the only two girls at school who won't put out". Full Story
