Our beloved Glee has ended its defining third season. WHATEVER SHALL WE DO?

OH WAIT! Now we can watch the show's riveting audition process that is captured in Oxygen's reality show The Glee Project!

The Glee spin-off allows hopeful McKinley High student-wannabes the chance to realize their Glee-centric dreams by putting participants through a grueling, episodic audition process.

And only one (or four!) will be named an official Glee Club member!

Tease yourself with a snippet from The Glee Project season two (above)!

It's a Christmas miracle!

This holiday season A Christmas Story, The Musical! is coming to Broadway!

That's right! You can see your all-time fave holiday movie for the 24 hours of Christmas on TBS AND on stage!

Last year the show toured the country, but in 2012 you can see the seski lamp, Ralphie and all his pals in NYC between November 6 - Decmber 30.

For Christmas we want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle, OR tickets to this show!

Our minds have been thoroughly, wonderfully BLOWN!!

GET THIS:

Sony pictures is re-creating the iconic musical Annie produced by Will Smith, with script written by British actress Emma Thompson, starring Willow Smith as little orphan Annie!

The adaptation is already shaping up to be a movie-musical for the ages!

BUT NOW, Rap's king will momentarily descend from his throne to construct Annie's entire musical score!

SCORE!

Jay-Z does have some

Holy sexy singin' Jesus! You are all SUPERSTARS!

The critically acclaimed, Tony nominated cast of Jesus Christ Superstar are shining their healing, electrifying light on the ladies of The View!

We were lucky enough to catch a performance of the Broadway musical revival while in NYC, and of the MANY productions we reviewed,
JCSS was a stand-out experience!

Click play (above) and let the lord AKA Josh Young inspire you!

This is Spinal Tap star Michael McKean was the victim of a serious car accident on Tuesday when a vehicle struck him in Manhattan. He was hurt pretty bad, but his signature sense of humor has remained intact.

Sources are reporting that the actor is already joking about the accident and told the producer of his latest Broadway show:

Oh snap! Damn you human error!

In the recently released Great Gatsby trailer directed by cult favorite Baz Luhrman, SOMEONE in post-production made a slight, but noticeable f*ck up!

During an outside shot featuring a buzzing 1920's Times Square, the main billboard features an ad for Ziegfeld Follies, a variety show that ran on Broadway from 1907 to 1931.

But, OOPS… the brilliantly lit board reads Z-E-I-gfeld Follies!

It's a small mistake, but it's wrong nonetheless.

But whatever, the movie looks stylishly decadent and we're sure it's an easy fix in the editing bay!

So, so sad.

Janet Carroll reportedly passed away Wednesday in NYC after suffering a long illness, and is survived by son George and daughter-in-law Lauren.

You may best remember Janet Carroll as Tom Cruise's trusting mother in the iconic 1983 film Risky Business, but the seasoned actress appeared in Memories of Me, Enough, Forces of Nature, Married with Children and Melrose Place among MANY others.

Janet was also a veteran stage actress, and began her fruitful career at the Kansas City Starlight Theatre.

A memorial service will be held Saturday in New York at the Advent Lutheran Church.

We only hope she has found her peace.

Our hearts go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.
