Consider us very unsurprised, but very proud! We know exactly what the mighty force of Glee can accomplish! We're just sorry we weren't there in London to see it for ourselves!

This weekend marked the end of the wildly successful Glee Live! tour as the cast took their final bow (and final smooch!) in Dublin. The weekend before, the Gleeks were setting the O2 arena on FIRE with seven sold-out shows and their performances paid off with an unique award.

Such a proud mom!

Even though she's in the middle of her AMAZING Femme Fatale tour, Britney Spears took the day off yesterday to make sure that she was in attendance for her son, Sean Preston's elementary school graduation ceremony, alongside boyfriend Jason Trawick, ex-husband Kevin Federline and his girlfriend, Victoria Prince, and mom Lynne Spears!

Check out the photo of our gurl arriving for the big day (above)!

So amazing! She really has become such a wonderful mother!

And we know little SP must have been thrilled to have so many people there to show his support!

We're so glad that she had the opportunity to be there! We know she wouldn't miss it for the world!

Congrats, little guy! Your mom loves you so much!

Last we heard about Broadway news, we were pleased to report that the 2010-11 Broadway season broke two records, reaching a box office high of 1.08 billion and an attendance of 12.53 million!

Hopefully the revamped Spider-Man musical can help keep those numbers up.

That's right, Spidey lovers! Cursed Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has been officially "frozen," meaning there will be NO MORE CHANGES, and opening night for the looooooooong delayed show is June 14.

Let's hope the critics like the new version! As we said before, we're skeptical, buuuut good reviews could definitely get people into seats, which could help keep those attendance/box office numbers strong, so hopefully it all works out!

Good luck, Spider-Man team!

Do U think the new version of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will be a success?

Wow! Guess people DO still go to the theatre!

The Broadway League is reporting that the 2010-11 Broadway season broke two records, reaching a box office high of 1.08 billion and an attendance of 12.53 million!

Apparently, this partly has to do with the fact that the season was an extra week long, which happens every seven years to help balance out bookkeeping variations like leap years, etc., but also because 42 shows opened over the course of the season!

We imagine shows like The Book of Mormon, Catch Me If You Can, and even the god-forsaken Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark certainly had to do with a lot of the cash flow this year, as well!

Broadway's certainly had a pretty exciting year!

Well done, guys!

Getting sent to the principal’s office is no punishment if Nicki Minaj is sitting behind the desk!

As a reward for winning the “Get MotivatED Challenge,” a six-week competition to improve daily attendance rates for participating schools, Nicki Minaj acted as principal for the day at Collins Academy High School.

She also presented three exemplary students with $10,000 college scholarships (courtesy of Comcast), helped teach a freshman English class, and took part in an assembly.

Nicki touted the importance of education in life throughout the day:

"I am a young, female mogul before I am an artist. As a business woman there isn't a single day where I don't use my education or acquire new knowledge to ensure my success. Regardless of where you are today, with education you can take yourself where you want to be. That's why I am working with the Get Schooled Foundation. They are finding innovative and exciting ways to bring that message to schools like the Collins Academy."

So awesome! This is the only time we’ve wanted to be back in high school since graduation! LOL!

Looks like concert prices MAY be more reasonable next year.

Concert promoters are reportedly planning to cut ticket prices in an effort to get fans back out to shows in 2011.

After poor concert attendance in 2010, promoters have said that they'll change their tactics by charging less for tickets and making the effort to sell more t-shirts and other merchandise to compensate.

Of course, this will probs only apply to artists who haven't been filling up seats.

Those GaGa tickets are unlikely to go down in price TOO much…but at least they're worth absolutely every penny!

Will U go to more concerts in 2011 if ticket prices go down?

Friends of Quentin Tarantino gathered at the New York Hilton last night to give shit to celebrate the famed director at his Friars Club Roast, and wow, there was quite a bit of star power present!

Check out (below) some of the celebs and comedians in attendance!

Quite the variety, no?!

We cannot WAIT to hear what they all had to say! Must have been a HIGHlarious night, filled with jokes about foot fetishes and slow-motion group walks!
