Porn Legend Harry Reems of 'Deep Throat' Fame Dies at 65
March 20, 2013 2:35pm ESTHerbert Streicher, the man who took the colorful name Harry Reems and starred in hundreds of porn films starting in the '70s, succombed to pancreatic cancer near his home in Utah, according to his friend Don Shenk. He was 65. Streicher got his start in adult movies on the infamous Deep Throat, a smutty film that got national attention for him and its female star Linda Lovelace when it was released in 1972. He was working as a lighting tech and when the original star of the film couldn't make it, Streicher was cast as a stand in. This not only catapulted him to adult fame, but a 1976 conviction of conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines, which was overturned the following year. RELATED: Amanda Seyfried Give Stunning Performance in 'Lovelace' Despite getting plenty of support from Hollywood during his trial and a few castings in legit theater and movies after his breakout in the skin flicks, Streicher never got to be the kind of actor he wanted. He eventually gave up the blue movie biz and became a real estate agent. Streicher's death comes just two months after renewed interest in his biggest movie due to the release of Lovelace at the Sundance Film Festival. In the movie he is played by Adam Brody.

SXSW: Paul Walker On Cutting Through The Bulls**t to Make 'Hours'
March 12, 2013 2:44pm ESTPaul Walker has traded his usual multi-million franchise blockbusters for a shoestring budget indie — and sorry Hollywood standards — but he couldn't be happier about it. Walker appears in Hours, a drama about a new father who struggles to keep his newborn daughter alive as Hurricane Katrina unleashes down on New Orleans and leaves him stranded with no power for days in an abandoned hospital. Hollywood.com spoke to the actor, alongside Hours writer/director Eric Heisserer, before the film had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival over the weekend. Walker described the experience of working on something with no car explosions or chases, but instead a small, labor of love project as "a breath of fresh air....It was stripped down and more honest... it's nice being able to step away and just tell the truth and work with people that are there because they want to be there." RELATED: Josh Duhamel at SXSW: What Fergie Thought of His 'Scenic Route Mohawk "[Working] in an industry where there's a ton of money to be made, it's so hard navigating through the nonsense and finding people that have any substance." Walker continued, "This wasn't one of those movies because they wanted me because they know they're gonna get the financing, I liked that. I met up with [Eric] and I see a genuine guy and what he sees in it. I walked away and I was like, 'Oh f**k man, I liked him, I hope he liked me' and then I get the phone call, 'He really wants you to make the movie, he thinks you're the guy. Immediately it's a huge compliment and then I'm like, 'S**t, I can't screw this up'." Because while working with Heisserer on Hours (who calls the film "a love letter to parents") was a no-brainer for Walker, the actor said he did feel pressure with the film when it came to his performance, as he spends a majority of his running time of the film acting alone, and it's more intimate than anything we've ever seen him do before. I'm used to being just one of the guys on set and f**king around and having fun, but now I've gotta be vulnerable." But Walker said that Heisserer's research on the project ("I've never sat down with anybody who was more over- prepared than him") and "the fact that I have a daughter" erased his fears of taking on such a stripped-down performance. Walker added, "I did the best I could and if people don't like my performance... they just don't like me. That's the fact." RELATED: SXSW: Adam Brody Talks About the Divisive Neil LaBute and His Work in 'Some Girl(s)' Both Walker and Heisserer both cited each other's hard work on the film for the end product, but both men gave the highest regard to the New Orleans crew and extras they had on set. Filmed in New Orleans over the course of just 18 days, everyone wanted to make sure the story of Walker's character and his daughter struggling to stay alive through Hurricane Katrina (Heisserer described the film as a "mitosis of a whole bunch of true stories" from Katrina), rang as truthfully as possible. "We had that extra measure of accountability, the bulls**t police were there," Walker said of the New Orleans crew who worked on the film and consulted them about how things really were. "You can feel they all had a real investment in it, you can tell they weren't just there to show up...it felt like a genuine collective, effort. I think that's why it came out the way it did." RELATED: SXSW 2013: Our 5 Must-See Films In fact, the tight-knit cast and crew have still stayed bonded since the experience. Both Heisserer (who said that filmmakers who have made movies about Katrina have all "had that same feeling of wanting to give back" to the community) and Walker said they keep in touch with people who worked on and dedicated themselves to the film. In fact, Walker said he received one from a crew member that simply read: "We're at SXSW!" [Photo credit: SXSW] You Might Also Like:Topanga's Revealing Lingerie Shoot: Hello '90s!

SXSW: 'Some Girl(s)' Is as Divisive as, Well, Any Neil LaBute Work
March 10, 2013 5:44pm ESTThere are two types of people in this world: those who love Neil LaBute's work and those who don't. What some see as an unfiltered, unflinching portrayal of human behavior (particularly in men), others see as cold and unfair portrayal of human behavior (particularly in women). However you feel about LaBute will likely dictate how you feel about the big screen adaptation of his work Some Girl(s), which played at the SXSW festival over the weekend. RELATED: SXSW: 'Drinking Buddies is a Good Time, With Less Filler With Adam Brody as the self-involved sociopathic Man, the actor's performance encompasses everything that makes women weary of men, and regretful of those we've encountered like him before. Man selfishly decides to embark on a tour of seeing all of his former flames and documenting all the details of their failed relationships for a project. The only problem is, this is no innocent game of catch up: Man, now engaged to Some Other Poor Woman, is dragging his exes through the past for his own twisted sense of self-worth. He has them meet with him in hotel rooms, only to turn down their sexual advances. He swears he has them there to right any wrongs from the past, only he never actually apologizes, and in the end, only conjures up terrible things. Told through a series of vignettes, we meet each of the women who have been markers in Man's life (including Jennifer Morrison, Mia Maestro, Emily Watson, Kristen Bell and a particularly heartbreaking Zoe Kazan). While each sequence is tonally different, they all wind up making you feel just plain bad for these women. RELATED: SXSW: 'Short Term 12' is a Small Movie with a Big Impact At SXSW, Hollywood.com caught up with Brody — who is obviously a LaBute fan ("He's one of those writers where he's got just such a storng, intelligent, specific voice and there's so many colors to play with there. I really like the dark humor aspect of all his work," he said) — and he gave his own thoughts on Man and Man's deplorable behavior. "His name is Man and, to me, he's actually a literary construct," Brody says. "He does this [behavior] ad nauseum, it repeats and repeats and repeats. If he's going to end up with his wife, he's going to cheat on her and make excuses. He's not going to take responsibility for anything ever, that I'm sure of." Brody continued, "I don't think he knows it, but I think he is operating from a place that is solely about him...I don't think he's not capable of one degree of selflessness. Everything operates from a place of narcissism." While Brody said he played Man as someone who believed he was well-intentioned, the actor couldn't come from a place of having a desire to reach out to old flames, like his character does in the film. "I don't feel like I have a complicated past...in a healthy way," Brody says. "I don't feel a need to revisit, or I don't have a lot that's been unsaid. I can't relate. The way [Man] is doing it is incredibly selfish, too. The whole idea is awful." Well, you can't say the man isn't honest.

'Glee' Recap: All Your Favorite Movies Packed Into One Emotional Episode
March 08, 2013 3:51pm ESTIt’s been three weeks since Glee shocked audiences with the craziest, most sex-filled episode we’ve ever seen, and now it’s finally time to see the repercussions from our Valentine’s Day wedding reception. Is Rachel really pregnant? Can Will and Emma save their relationship? What do gingers smell like? All those questions and more will be answered in this movie-filled recap of “Girls (And Boys) On Film!” Be warned Glee-bees I've had about three cups of coffee so brace yourselves... So Here’s What You Missed On Glee Mashup Madness: The episode opens on a gravity defying number, with a tuxedo-clad Will and Emma singing Fred Astaire’s “You’re All the World to Me.” The screen quickly changes to black and white, and our star-crossed McKinley teachers begin twirling and two-stepping right-side up, upside-down, and side-to-side. (Side-Note: I absolutely love hearing Emma sing. It’s the same giddy feeling I get when I hear a baby kitten let out a teeny-tiny meow.) As it turns out, all that fancy footwork was actually just a part of Will’s dream, and he awakes in a panic. The next day at glee club Will, obviously inspired by his midnight fantasy, announces their assignment for the week: movies. Will explains, “Everybody loves movies — they don’t just tell stories, they transport us to other worlds. They are inspirational and the help us escape from our day-to-day anxieties.” Kitty quickly quips, “Like getting left at the alter?” (Side-Note: First of all, oooh burn! And secondly, let’s leave the snarky make-fun-of-Mr.-Schue comments to Santana, okay little one? At least we know that her insults are rooted in love.) RELATED: The Spice Girls Have Come to Glee! — Who’s Playing Who? Will tells the group to choose their favorite songs from their favorite movies, but there’s a special twist: boys vs. girls mashups! (Side-Note: Gaaaaah! I’m having "Vitamin D" flashbacks and I’m absolutely loving it! Who else Googled the crap out of Quinn’s yellow dress after that episode aired? Ah the good ‘ol days…) Artie announces that he is moving into production on his first micro-budget feature — aka he’s making a movie y’all — and he offers starring roles to the team that wins the competition. It’s here, it’s here! It’s finally here! Blaine and Brittany suggest to the group that it’s a bummer that the guys and the girls are automatically pinned against each other, so they suggest that the first number should include everyone. And with that, the music begins, the hallway clears, and Glee fans everywhere get a wave of chills because it’s Glee’s 500th musical number! Blaine and Brittany lead the New Directions throughout the school with a fast-paced, smile-inducing, toe-tapping rendition of “Shout.” (Side-Note: This performance is the epitome of why I fell in love with Glee. It was fun, energetic, and filled with impressive dance moves and incredible voices. Plus, seeing Sugar booty pop on the library table is a soon-to-be GIF that I want to find and cherish forever. Oh, and big round of applause for Queen Brittany please!) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Planning Stevie Wonder Tribute — EXCLUSIVE Now it’s time for the boys to show off their testosterone-filled mashup. Blaine, Artie, and Joe take center stage wearing exact replicas of Tom Cruise’s pilot-suit from Top Gun, and begin singing a very badass version of “Danger Zone.” (Side-Note: Hells yes! I loved Tom Cruise before he got all jumpy on Oprah's couch. At least we all have him to thank for this pop-culture gem.) All of the sudden Sam, Ryder, and Jake slide into the room wearing nothing but white dress shirts and socks — clearly they’re channeling Tom Cruise in Risky Business — and they begin a pumped up version of “Old Time Rock and Role.” (Side-Note: Okay, this is amazing! The songs blend so well together and I’m definitely a fan of boys without pants. The really funny thing is that their aviators and Ray Bans sunglasses make this performance about a bajillion times sexier. Swoon!) The girls are in the bathroom getting all dolled up for their performance in their Marilyn Monroe inspired outfits when Kitty approaches Marley. “I have a confession to make. For the past six months I’ve said behind your back and in front of your face that you're poor, and you're fat, and mousy, and boring, and you dress like Zach Galifianakis.” Kitty apologizes adding, “We’re both dating Puckermans, and someday we’ll be sisters-in-law and hanging out with Jews together.” (Side-Note: Love that plan! Can you imagine their awkward family Thanksgivings?) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: the Craziest Most Sex-Filled Episode We’ve Ever Seen Marley lets down her guard and confesses to a finger-crossing Kitty that Ryder kissed her on Valentine’s Day. Kitty then offers Marley the greatest advice that every girl ever should hear: “Boys are like lumps of coal. They're dirty and they’re cheap and they get hot when they're rubbed. And some turn into diamonds. So collect as many as you can.” (Side-Note: Could this quote be any more perfect? I think I’ve found my new life motto — well, for my twenties at least. Keep in mind ladies, this little ditty only applies to boys and good men are completely different. Cough! Finn Hudson. Cough!) The girls break into their rendition of “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” mashed up with Madonna’s “Material Girl” — complete with hot pink dresses, gloves, and sexy black fans. (Side-Note: Nope! Not fair! They’re singing a mashup that’s already been featured in Moulin Rouge! Plus this performance was kind of awkward at points, I don’t really know how to describe why — but we all know it was.) NEXT: A Grand Gesture and a Sultry Secret! Go Get Your Girl: On the day that the mash-off is announced, Finn pulls Will aside and asks if he’s had any luck on locating his MIA bride, but unfortunately Emma has channeled her inner-meerkat and is currently hiding out at an unknown location. (Side-Note: Now imagine Emma’s bushbaby eyes peeping out of a hole and don’t try to tell me you’re not smiling!) Will thanks Finn for his concern, but he thinks it’s best to just give Emma some space and if she really wants to be with him, she’ll come back on her own. Finn, determined to ease his guilt from kissing Emma, asks Artie to help him track down Ms. Pillsbury for Mr. Schue. So the two friends do what anyone would do: they put on red wigs, ask Emma’s parents to come down to the school, and pretend to be two members of the “Stop Ginger Bullying Club.” (Side-Note: McKinley has so many bizarre clubs, it’s only a matter of time before this becomes a real thing.) After revealing that gingers smell like pennies, red-headed Finn convinces Emma’s parents to give them the address of where Emma is staying. Finn rushes to tell Will that he needs to go to Emma and make a big romantic gesture in order to win her back. The next thing we know, Will is standing outside of Emma’s sister’s house singing a swoon-worthy version of “In Your Eyes.” The New Directions soon join him, and the music lures Emma out of bed and over to the window. (Side-Note: Gaaah! Be still my Wemma-loving heart. This feels like the couple I fell in love with back when they first kissed in the hallway. Will sounds amazing; it’s like this song was meant for him. However, I still can’t believe that Will still has that same crappy car.) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Divas, Delusion, and Devastation Emma apologizes for shutting Will out, and says that she couldn’t explain because she’s not even sure that she understands what happened. Will makes it easy for her and says, “If you were to write yourself a pamphlet, what would it be called?” Emma thinks for a moment and responds with, “So You’re Freaking Out Because The Man You’re About to Marry Parades Back Into Town and You Don’t Think You Know Him Anymore.” The duo decides they need to start from scratch and see if they can get to know each other all over again. (Side-Note: Well this is just a big fat bummer. Wemma lovers out there have been rooting for this couple for four years and now they’re back to square one? I guess we should be glad that they’re still together, but come on!) RELATED: ‘Glee' Recap: Slutty Barbie And Shirtless Men A Sultry Secret: The next day, Marley enters an art classroom to find an adorable looking Jake standing there waiting for her. Little Puckerman confesses to her that all of the sweet gifts and moments he gave her last week on Valentine’s Day were actually Ryder’s ideas. To make up for his lack of V-Day creativity, Jake had set up an exact replica of the pottery scene from Ghost, and he proceeded to sing a flawless version of “Unchained Melody.” (Side-Note: Oh my goodness this scene is giving me chills! Jake’s voice is absolutely phenomenal, and the scene is charged with so much electricity I keep expecting to see little sparks burst every time they touch.) Unfortunately Marley cannot get Ryder out of her sweet little head, and the song switches from Jake to Ryder and back-and forth as the best friends battle it out in her mind. Marley’s daydreams even include a super steamy kiss with Ryder. (Side-Note: Oh yeah, it must totally suck to have two perfect fellas vying for your attention. Your life is just sooo difficult right now Marley. In other news, the closest relationship I’m currently involved in is with the checkout guy at Trader Joes who doesn’t scoff at the fact that I buy four bottles of wine at a time. I love you, Stephen!) The song ends and a doe-eyed Marley confesses that Ryder kissed her last week, and to make matters worse, she let him. Jake is clearly furious, and he leaves the room without saying a single word. (Side-Note: Well at least Marley was the one to break the news to Jake. It would have been a trillion times worse had Kitty been the one to happily reveal the scandalous secret.) NEXT: Santana’s Super Snark/The Episode’s Best Moments Cabin Fever: Santana is looking out a window of the loft, and in a lovely twist, we hear her inner monologue. “My first real week in New York and I’m snow-bound in Bushwick with a bunch of musical theater queens.” So here’s the sitch: Adam and Kurt are giggling in the kitchen, Brody is working, and Rachel is in the bathroom. (Side-Note: Adam, please see yourself out. Blaine’s face is cuter than your accent. And hey Brody, when Adam says you’re “working,” does that mean you're working the pole or do you only whore yourself out in hotel rooms? Yes ladies and Gleeks, I have officially reached full-on snark with these boys. Get ready.) NYADA cancelled all of their classes because of the snow, and the group is currently going through a case of cabin fever because Santana and Rachel are bickering like two Chihuahuas in a crate. Kurt suggests they watch a movie, and from Santana’s DVD suggestions — Knocked Up, Rosemary’s Baby, and She’s Having a Baby — it’s clear our favorite Lima Heights lady has caught on to Rachel’s current bun-in-the-oven issue. Kurt, clearly oblivious as to what is going on, chooses Moulin Rouge as their snowed-in selection. Suddenly, we’re transported to a roof, neon lights are all around, and a very dapper looking Blaine walks out onto the smoke-filled floor. (Side-Note: Totally serious right now: the song hasn’t even started and I just completely burst into tears. This is one of my all-time favorite songs and you all know how much I cherish this couple.) RELATED: ‘Glee' Recap: Scandals, Shocks And Sadie Hawkins As Blaine begins singing “Come What May,” the scene cuts away to flashbacks of the couple’s most memorable moments. (Side-Note: Oh God! Now there are flashbacks too?! Holy crap I am dying right now. And for those of you that don’t quite understand, this is the equivalent to the “Flower Scene” for Klaine fans right now.) Kurt and Blaine slow dance together and create perfect harmonies with their voices before ending in a super sweet embrace. Kurt’s daydream ends, and we see that he’s sitting on the couch next to Adam and he has tears in his eyes. He quickly blames the waterworks on his non-existent contacts, when Santana reveals the truth to an overly gullible Adam: “I would’ve thought that you were crying because you and Blaine used to talk about how this was your dream to sing this song to each other at your wedding.” (Side-Note: I never ever ever want Santana to leave my TV screen ever again. Let's have her start reading the morning news too!) Oh but the bluntness doesn’t stop there! Santana stands up and shares what’s really been on her mind, saying “That Brody character is a freaking psycho.” (Side-Note: This! This right here is what I’ve been waiting for! Please continue Miss Lopez…) “When I first met him, totally thought he was weird. He smelt all talcumy like a Cabbage Patch Doll and then he said that I wasn’t a real New Yorker until I’ve had my first makeover and I was like, ‘What does that even mean? Like who are you?’” (Side-Note: I haven’t been this giddy since Kurt yelled at Brody for putting his bare ass on his vintage flea market chair) Santana explains that she was willing to look past all this, but then she found a giant wad of money — $1,200 in cash to be exact — hidden in Brody’s things. Oh yeah, fun-fact: Santana likes to root through other people’s stuff, it’s kind of like a glorious panty-raiding hobby. In her quest to figure out what he was up to, Santana also found a pager. (Side-Note: Hi little ones, I’ll help you out. A “pager” is a magical device that was used before cell phones when you wanted to alert someone that you wanted to talk to them. Isn’t history fun?!) Santana declares that given the evidence, Brody is a drug-dealer. (Side-Note: Nope. Unless he’s dealing steroids and Muscle Milk, I’m gonna go ahead and stick with my original guess: Brody’s a hoe fo’ sho.) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: A Hot Mess Of Holiday Cheer Kurt is in a NYADA classroom practicing his pirouettes when Adam lurks into the doorway saying, “What’s shaking bacon?” (Side-Note: Ugh just stop. You’re not funny and you look like you’re 45.) Adam asks Kurt about “Come What May,” and adds that he still loves Blaine and questions if he was just a rebound. (Side-Note: Kurt may have said no, but I sure as hell screamed yes.) Kurt admits that he desperately wants to be over Blaine, and Adam takes that as a sign that they should go to the movies, watch a sappy love flick and claim that as their movie. Luckily for Klaine fans everywhere, Kurt looks hesitant at this suggestion. A happy-to-be-in-NYC Santana enters the loft to find Rachel sitting on the couch, looking thoroughly depressed and alone. So, naturally, she takes this opportunity to discuss what she found in Rachel’s bathroom trash: a used pregnancy test. Rachel quickly denies the whole thing telling Santana, “You had no right,” but then in a matter of seconds our beloved Miss Berry bursts into tears. Fans quickly see a brand-new side to Santana as she hugs her sobbing friend and whispers that everything is going to be okay. (Side-Note: So I was recently alerted to the fact that Rachel and Santana’s (friend)shipper name is Pezberry. So first of all I absolutely love that! Also, I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to see Rachel with a friend. I feel like these two are going to be such a great pair together and I can’t wait for more!) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Second Chances And New Romances The Final Five: Mr. Schue reveals the big winners of the annual girls vs. boys mashup competition, and no surprise here it’s… everyone! The room bursts into outraged comments, and the students claim how unfair it is while Ryder smashes an unknown object in the back of the room. (Side-Note: I feel like this is a little league baseball game where the finale score was Boys: 27 - Girls: 4, but everyone gets a trophy because the coaches don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. They can’t all be winners, Mr. Schue!) Artie explains that they all won because he wants the entire group to be involved in his senior project film, “Hollywood Hootenanny.” Will then asks Finn to step out into the hallway saying, “Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy mopes around and sits on his ass until his best man helps save the day.” Will thanks Finn for encouraging him to win Emma back, and just when we think everything is going to be just peachy, Finn asks if Emma mentioned him at all. Will looks puzzled before Finn blurts out, “Because I kissed her.” Finn quickly explains his logic and how he tried to calm her down by locking lips, and apologizes profusely to his best friend and mentor. Finn exclaims, “Go ahead and just punch me or whatever because I deserve it. I am so sorry.” However, Will just stands there, glaring at him before silently walking away. (Side-Note: Wow. Just when I thought that Finn had reached emotional perfection in the “I Do” episode, he gives us this amazing scene. I think Finn handled this situation with as much maturity and tact as he could, and kudos to Cory for making our eyes well up with tears.) The episode ends with a fancy-footwork, high-energy version of “Footloose.” All you really need to know is that there is glitter and at one point Brittany takes off her sneaker in a fit of joy. See you next week Glee-bees! RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Sectionals, Slaps, And Second Chances Most Heartwarming Moment: Finally seeing Kurt and Blaine singing “Come What May” to each other.

'Glee' Recap: The Craziest, Most Sex-Filled Episode We've Ever Seen
February 15, 2013 1:35pm ESTThis week’s episode of Glee, was absolutely, 100 percent ridiculously wonderful. I have a lot to say, so I’m not going to waste any more of your precious Glee-loving time with a long intro. From cold feet to hot bedroom scenes, I’m here to catch you up on everything you may have missed and more in, “I Do.” So Here’s What You Missed On Glee Pre-Wedding Craziness: The episode opens in the most perfectly wonderful way: Finn and Rachel are together! (Side-Note: Currently writing my thank you notes to cupid for bringing these two together for Valentine’s Day. Who needs love when you can obsess over a fictional couple that lives in your TV screen, amiright?) The Lima Bean is decked out in Valentine’s Day décor and a distraught-looking Finn thanks Rachel for agreeing to meet with him. RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Divas, Delusion, and Devastation Rachel launches into an explanation of why Brody is not there with her, but Finn quickly cuts her off, admitting the one thing that made millions of Gleeks gasp last week: “I kissed Miss Pillsbury.” A surprisingly cool and compassionate Rachel calms Finn down and says, “What you did, it wasn’t great. But I get it, you were confused and lonely and I’m sure that knowing that Brody and I are living together, it set you off.” To which Finn snaps, “Not everything is about you.” Rachel advises her former flame to channel his acting skills, keep his mouth shut and be the best best man he can for Mr. Schue. (Side-Note: Oh my God it’s only been two minutes and this episode is already amazing!) Emma’s inner anguish is pouring out as she is trying to figure out the seating chart for the wedding, when Finn enters her office. Emma is in a full-blown OCD panic and tells Finn that he needs to “get over it” and pretend like nothing happened. “Look, when I get on that alter and I make my solemn vow for the second, and I hope the very last time, standing right behind my husband will be his best man. That’s you, the guy who thought it was okay to kiss me a week before my wedding. The guy who is forcing me to lie to my fiancé. And if you really want to help me then just keep a wide berth and keep your mouth shut.” (Side-Note: Holy crap! I get that you’re freaking the eff out right now Emma, but I’ve just got to say it: you didn’t look that upset the second after Finn’s lips touched your last week. And no one can blame you, have you seen that tall glass of sexy?) Will obliviously enters the room and whisks Finn away to glee club practice, leaving Emma alone and shaking like a tiny Chihuahua. Will announces to the New Directions that he’d like them to be the entertainment at the reception and asks Finn to sing for him, in lieu of giving his best man speech. (Side-Note: That’s great that you want your students to perform, but come on Will — open up that wallet and pay for a deejay. Let the kids enjoy your wedding.) RELATED: ‘Glee' Recap: Slutty Barbie And Shirtless Men Jarley is walking down the hall and Marley is looking like she’s about to pee her panties with excitement. She presents Jake with an early Valentine’s Day gift — a pair of homemade and totally awesome typewriter button cufflinks — and scampers off to class with a spring in her step and a smile on her face. Ryder realizes that Jake needs some help coming up with the perfect gift for his girl, and promises to help his best bro give Marley the best Valentine’s week ever. (Side-Note: Um, hi Ryder. Here’s my heart. I just really really want you to have it. Mmkay thanks bye.) An hour late and one spray tan later, Rachel meets Finn in the auditorium to help him find the perfect best man song. (Side-Note: No Rachel, you’re doing it wrong! Getting sprayed with cold orange, goo is not a way to spend your afternoon. Singing with your hot ex-boyfriend is how you should be spending your time. Sigh. When will you learn?) RELATED: ‘Glee' Recap: Scandals, Shocks And Sadie Hawkins To calm Finn’s worries, Rachel suggests that they perform a duet at the reception. Finn unleashes a devilish smile and says, “I think the real issue here is whether or not you can handle singing with me, we do have some pretty intense musical chemistry.” Rachel then admits that Finn looks really cute, bites her bottom lip, and says that she’ll pick out a song. (Side-Note: Don’t try and hide it Rachel, we all know what you’re thinking…) Over in Mr. Schue’s history class (Side-Note: Did anyone else forget that he stopped teaching Spanish?) Ryder is looking particularly squirmish. Jake then enters the room in a bright red, ruffly tux, and announces that he is there to sing Marley one of her favorite songs. The music starts, the other boys arrive in their matching suits, and Jake then serenades Marley with a lovely rendition of “You’re All I Need To Get By.” (Side-Note: The way Jake kisses Marley on the cheek is seriously swoon-worthy. And to all of you Glee-bees who are wondering: Yes, Jacob Artist is just as sweet and adorable in person — if not more so.) NEXT: Cold Feet and Wedding Day Craziness! Wedding Day Craziness: It’s the day of the wedding! While we are waiting for the ceremony to start we see a quick yet sweet Brittana wave/smile, and Santana then launches into one of her world famous rants about how much Valentine’s Day sucks. Quinn then sparks into some complaining of her own. “You know what I hate? Men. Every single one of them is a pig except for maybe Mr. Schue and Al Roker. And you know what, you were right, I do let men define me, but not anymore.” (Side-Note: Woo hoo! You go Quinn! Question: where did you get your jacket because it needs to be in my closet ASAP.) Artie meets Betty, Emma’s niece and fellow wheel-chair bound babe. However, unlike Artie — aka the sweetest thing on the planet since cherry pie — Betty is rude, condescending and conceited. “I’m blonde, captain of the cheerleaders at my high school and I’ve got this going on,” Betty quips while grabbing her tatas. (Side-Note: Way to keep it classy, Betty.) Meanwhile Klaine is making out in the backseat of a Prius. (Side-Note: GAAAAHHH! I’m so excited right now! I just ran around my apartment and did a happy dance complete with booty shaking and 2-3 shimmys. I love these two so much it hurts!) Just as things are getting hot and heavy, Kurt asks, “Wait this doesn’t mean that we’re back together right?” To which Blaine replies, “This is just bros helping bros.” (Side-Note: Label it whatever you want, but I’m calling it euphoria.) Mercedes then interrupts the back-seat sexytimes and says that she needs her “arm gays” to escort her into the wedding. (Side-Note: No! *stomps my feet like a two-year-old* Go away Mercedes! They’re busy!) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: A Hot Mess Of Holiday Cheer Over in her dressing room Emma is officially 100 percent freaking out. And to make matters worse, Sue enters the room wearing an exact replica of Emma’s wedding dress. Emma looks like she’s about to pass out and says, “Sue I feel really scared, I feel really overwhelmed, I feel like I can’t think and I’m really worried that this isn’t going to work.” Sue is absolutely no help and only reaffirms Emma’s fears that the wedding is a bad idea. (Side-Note: Someone needs to give Emma a Xanax, a shot of tequila and, a slap across the face right now. On the other hand, Jayma Mays’ acting is once again flawless, I literally feel anxious and sick to my stomach right now because her she is so damn convincing. Kudos to you, pretty ginger.) Will and Emma then launch into one of the strangest yet amazing songs Glee has ever done, “Getting Married Today.” Emma is talking a mile a minute, but here’s the only line you need to hear: “But I thank you all for the gifts and the flowers. Thank you all, now it’s back to the showers. Don’t tell Will but I’m not getting married today.” Emma runs out of the back door or the church in a panic, flags down a cab, and breaks down hysterically crying in the backseat of her getaway vehicle. (Side-Note: That was the most stressful two minutes of TV I have ever seen. Ever. Give Jayma Mays all of the awards from now until eternity because that was pulse-quickening perfection.) Becky is pelting the crowd with rose petals as she stomps down the aisle, and the music quickly halts when the door opens and Sue begins to walk to the alter. (Side-Note: When Brittany snapped a pic and mouthed, “You look so good!” to Sue, I pretty much died from laughter. I know that this is supposed to be a somber moment, but goodness gracious that cheerio can still deliver the best one-liners. Ever.) Will looks dumbfounded and Sue then utters four heartbreaking words, “Emma’s left the building.” Finn is trying to fish information out of Will as to why Emma would take off. Will, looking like he is three seconds from sobbing, just says, “She didn’t have to tell me anything. I left her with all this stress and planning. She was losing it, and I kept telling her that it was her usual obsessiveness.” Santana then enters the church asking about the plan for the reception, and Will encourages the group to still have the party. “Just because I ruined my Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean I have to ruin all of yours too.” RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Second Chances And New Romances At the reception, Bram is awkwardly dancing together, so Santana and Quinn quickly leave the dance floor and head to the bar with their fake IDs for a glass of wine and a quick venting sesh. Santana tells her friend, “You know, we always were two ends of the same bitch goddess spectrum, maybe that’s why we love each other so much and slap each other." And Quinn then compliments Santana on how good she looks in her dress. (Side-Note: Ummm, okay. This is strange.) Ryder and Jake are sitting at the reception, and the Glee writers are slowly but surely flipping the switch. Jake says that Marley has “Puckerman fever” and he only needs one more romantic gesture to make it fatal. Ryder looks distraught and says, “Do you think that maybe one of these gifts should be your idea?” (Side-Note: That’s funny Ryder. You’re the one who hijacked Jarley’s Valentine’s Week so you could inadvertently show Marley how much you love her. You told Jake that his ideas were dumb and that you had “a bunch” for your friend. So, do me a favor and stop trying to make Jake look bad right now.) Ryder then hands Jake a heart pendent that he bought at the mall and Jake responds with, “You are my hero! I am so getting laid tonight." (Side-Note: Thank you Glee writers for taking a super sweet character and trying to squash it into the ground. I get that you want to create a love triangle, but can you try to be a bit more subtle?) Kurt and Blaine hit the stage and we get to see an awesome ’80s inspired performance of “Just Can’t Get Enough.” (Side-Note: Yes! I haven’t been this excited since “Silly Love Songs.” Their chemistry on stage is absolutely electric, and for a second I totally forgot that they ever broke up.) Tina is once again acting ridiculously possessive over Blaine and practically hurdling daggers at Kurt with her eyes. RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Sectionals, Slaps, And Second Chances After the song, Tina stomps over to Kurt and unleashes her inner crazy, going on a rant about NYADA, Vogue.com, cheating, and wanting to be loved back. (Side-Note: Oh my gosh Tina, go away! Go find Mike. He’s there randomly dancing in the background, not saying anything. Go make it so it’s not a complete and total waste that Glee asked him to come back for this.) Kurt then calls Tina out. “Okay Tina, I say this with total love, but the moment we all saw coming is finally here. You’re a hag, you’re hagged out, you’re in love with Blaine and it’s creepy!” (Side-Note: Kurt is just killing it this year! And the fact that he said that Tina vapo-raped his ex-boyfriend makes me love him even more.) Rachel approaches Finn and reassures him that what happened that day was not his fault, “I’ve seen every runaway bride movie that there is, and I know that when the bride runs away, it’s never because of a random kiss. It’s because she knew deep down inside that it wasn’t right.” The two then exchange some mischievous smiles and get up to dance with the rest of the New Directions. On the dance floor, Artie approaches Betty and says that he knows that she puts on this mean girl façade to hide the fact that she’s upset about being in a wheelchair, but yet he’s still oddly compelled by her. He convincers her to share one dance and they burn rubber out on the dance floor. NEXT: Lots and Lots of Sex and The Episode’s Best Moments Post-Wedding Craziness: Even though there is no bride, Sue announces that time has come to toss the bouquet, she and invites all the single ladies to gather round. The crowd of eager females includes, Quinn, Santana, Sam, Rachel, Tina, and a bunch of random extras who are overly excited to be there. The bouquet soars through the air and magically lands in Rachel’s arms, and Finns looks at her with the cutest smile on his face. Finn catches Rachel on her way out of the restroom and notes that typically it’s only the single girls who line up to catch the bouquet. Rachel quickly assures him, “I am single,” and then explains that she and Brody had a “mature conversation” and decided not to put any labels on anything. (Side-Note: Listen up little ladies! When a guy doesn’t want to give your relationship a label, it means he wants to keep you around, but still be able to flirt with other girls. If this ever happens, tell that loser tootles and move on!) Throughout their heartfelt and sexually charged conversation, Finn is slowly and nonchalantly plucking the petals off a white daisy, (“She loves me… she loves me not…”) and giving a brilliant metaphor about how the Finchel relationship is like a flower. Right now it’s just currently going through Winter. (Side-Note: Oh. My. God. This is just too good I can’t handle it. I have all these warm feelings swimming around in my stomach right now, and the way that Finn is subtly plucking off those petals makes my heart beat faster and faster.) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Enemies And Allies Finn shows that he knows Rachel better than anyone else on the planet, and calls her out on her NYC Sex and the City-wannabe behavior: “I think that you’re lying to yourself, and I think the real reason that you can’t commit to Brody is because you’re still in love with someone else. You and I both know how this thing ends. I don’t care how or when, and I don’t care where you’re living or what dope you’re shacked up with. You’re my girlfriend.” (Side-Note: Finn Hudson: Out-shining all other men on TV since 2009.) Finn then wraps up the world’s greatest love speech with this gem of a line: “We are endgame. I know that, and you know that.” (Side-Note: And so do the thousands of Twitter fans who devote each and every Friday to promoting their Finchel love. Sorry, just felt that that needed to be mentioned at some point. Love you guys!) Rachel says they need to go sing their duet and she snatches the last petal from the steam, which just so happened to land on “She loves me.” Finn and Rachel sing a flawless version of “We’ve Got Tonight,” and all of the night’s couples — Jarley, Klaine, Quintana, Artie/Betty and Finchel — head upstairs to their respective hotel rooms. So here’s how it all went down: Blaine is all smiles after their bedroom sesh, and it’s obvious that Kurt is trying to play it cool and brush their night off as no big deal. No worries, Blaine is not discouraged, and he knows that it’s only a matter of time before he and Kurt and perfectly placed back together. (Side-Note: Later hipster wannabe Adam!) Quinn and Santana hooked up, and even though Quinn admits that it was a fun time, she’s not planning on switching sides for good. (Side-Note: I don’t like this. It feels unnatural and like a cheap, last minute tool to raise eyebrows and shock audiences.) Artie and Betty shared what seemed to be their first time together, and over in the Jarley room, absolutely nothing happened. It’s clear that Marley wasn’t ready, but Jake sweetly understood, kissed her hand and invited her downstairs for another dance. Finn and Rachel made love, but rather than spending the night together, Rachel slipped out of the room with her bouquet in hand while her beau was still sleeping. (Side-Note: Finchel hooked up. On Valentine’s Day. All is right in the world.) RELATED: ‘Glee’ Recap: Musicals, Man-eaters And Mooses Rachel is suddenly back in an overly-decorated heart-covered loft, and Brody not-so-subtly mentions that it took him “two whole days” to make this for her. (Side-Note: Bite me Brody. You taped some paper hearts on the wall and bought some flowers. Whoop-di-doo! If you ask me it looks like your trying to make up for the fact that you’re guilty of something. Hmmm?) Rachel and Brody begin kissing, but he stops her and asks if she kissed anyone else while she was gone. “You’re kissing differently.” (Side-Note: First of all that whole “kissing differently” thing is not real. And secondly, why yes Brody if you must know, Rachel was kissing her one true love. Sheesh.) Brody makes it a point to tell Rachel that their whole “modern relationship” only works is they are completely honest with each other. Rachel kind of evades the answer but still lets Brody know that she and Finn hooked up. She then asks about Brody’s lonely Valentine’s Day and he reveals, “I stayed at home and watched weight-lifting videos.” (Side-Note: I totally called it! I told you all he was a tool. It’s beyond obviously that he is lying, but only a true douche would mask his indiscretions with an excuse that is so barf-worthy.) We then see what Brody was really up to: He leaves a hotel room with his shirt half unbuttoned, carrying a massive wade of money in his hands and looking quite pleased with himself. (Side-Note: Ladies and Gleeks, it’s official: Brody is a hoe fo’ sho.) Over in the halls of McKinley, Tina is apologizing to Kurt for attacking him like an obnoxious yappy dog at the reception. “I saw you up there singing with Blaine, and I saw the old legendary chemistry. I saw two soul mates rediscovering each other and I was jealous.” (Side-Note: Finally, the world’s most creepy crush is broken!) Marley then approaches Ryder, and admits that the knew that her whole week of love was his idea, not Jake’s. She smiles, “Whenever you do that for someone for real, she’s going to be the luckiest girl on the planet.” Ryder responds, “It was for real,” and before Marley realizes what’s about to happen, Ryder steals a sweet kiss. (Side-Note: Dammit. I’m so confused. Who do I ship? Sigh. #Gleegirlproblems) RELATED: ‘Glee' Recap: Call Sheets And Name Calling The Final Five: In the teacher’s lounge, Mr. Schue is moping around, and a super-cutely dressed Finn launches into an inspirational speech about never giving up. “Somewhere out there, there’s a Miss Pillsbury running around who should already be a Mrs. Schuester.” Will is newly invigorated and he thanks Finn for being such an amazing best man/friend. Artie’s new lady love Betty rolls through the halls and the two make plans for Saturday night, “When you’re rolling with Artie Abrams, anything can happen,” he brags. And just like that the final song of the night, Ellie Goulding’s “Anything Can Happen,” begins to play and the glee club dances around the auditorium stage. Cut to NYC, and we see that Rachel is sitting in bed next to a sleeping Brody flipping through her planner with a terrified look on her face. She grabs a pregnancy test, waits the agonizing two minutes, and looks at the results. (Side-Note: Ugh! Rachel is preggers y’all, and if that nasty little sperm came from Brody’s grody male-escort penis then I’m going to fly to New York, find the guy who looks most similar to him, and unleash a world of crazy on some poor unsuspecting bystander. See you all back here in three weeks! Xoxo!) Most Heartwarming Moment: Seeing Finn pluck those petals while Telling Rachel that no matter what, they are endgame. Most Heartbreaking Moment: Watching Emma’s hysterical breakdown in the back of the taxi as she drives away from the church. Quotables: “All of you Glee kids have dated so incestuously that I can’t even remember who can tolerate who anymore.” —Emma “I am so over this and it hasn’t even started yet. I’m clearly the hottest bitch in this lousy joint but I’m all alone, stuck here sitting with you.” —Santana to Quinn “Well of course it isn’t going to work. You’re a weird bird-lady with a hallow pelvis and a OCD. And Will Schuester is a weepy man-child who’s greatest joy in life is singing with children and his best friend is 19.” —Sue to Emma “Relationships are a lot like flowers. If you find the right seed, put it in good soil, give it water and sunlight. Bam. Perfect bud.” —Finn to Rachel “We are endgame, I know that and you know that.” —Finn to Rachel What did you think of this week’s episode of Glee? How are you feeling about Finchel? Klaine? Quintana?

‘Glee’ Recap: Divas, Delusion, and Devastation
February 08, 2013 12:54pm ESTRemember when you were little and you knew you were doing something really really wrong, but you did it anyways? Just to see what would happen? Just to see the look of shock/terror/disappointment on someone’s face? That is exactly like what happened on this week’s episode of Glee. You are such a twisted man, Mr. Ryan Murphy. Grab your favorite feather boa and sequined body suit, honey, because I’m here to catch you up on everything you may have missed and more in “Diva.” So Here’s What You Missed on Glee: Lima Divas: Emma (Jayma Mays) is currently in a completely organized panic about the wedding, which is now only ten days away, and Will is still out of town until the end of the week. Finn (Cory Monteith) is extremely worried that Mr. Schue is going to want to take back the glee club, but Emma quickly reassures him that he has done an amazing job coaching the newbies. With regionals just around the corner, Finn is trying to think of a way to toughen up the New Directions and amp up their competitive sprit. His solution? Diva Week, round 2! To help inspire the group, Finn asks Emma to come in and be their celebrity guest judge. (Side-Note: Aww it’s like the good old days! Vitamin D: you will always have a special place in my heart.) While Emma is reading the greatest description of a “Diva” ever said in the history of the universe, the claws are already starting to come out between the ladies — and Blaine — of the glee club. And with a few well-placed insults and some pretty intense finger snaps, the fierce femmes begin an amazingly over-the-top runway show while singing “Diva.” (Side-Note: That performance was 19 kinds of fierce and I loved every second of it!) Over in the halls of McKinley, Blaine (Darren Criss) is snorting up all of his snot, coughing like a smoker, and looking like he’s about to pass out. Clearly he’s sick. Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) pops up out of nowhere and presents her crush with the ultimate cold-busting care package. (Side-Note: Ugh. This is still happening? I’m loving that Tina is finally getting some much-needed screen time but this is just the biggest waste of an arc Glee has done in a long time.) Despite his stuffed-up sinuses, Blaine performs a rocking version of “Don’t Stop Me Now,” to prove that boys can be divas too. (Side-Note: Nicely done Blaine, even with a red nose your voice still makes me swoon. But all you’ve really proved is that you’re the only one who could ever pull off that jacket/hat combo.) RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Slutty Barbie and Shirtless Men The next day, Finn and Emma are standing in front of the choir room looking particularly pleased with themselves and begin to describe what makes up the ultimate diva. Emma explains, “Divas walk and they talk and they breathe brilliance. So here to demonstrate that elusive brilliance is a very special guest diva.” And on that note, Santana (Naya Rivera) is once again back in the halls of McKinley, but time she’s brought a handful of her Louisville cheerleaders with her and she breaks into a high-energy, perfectly choreographed rendition of Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits.” (Side-Note: Everyone needs to stop talking right now! Queen Naya is finally performing again on the magical box in my living room.) The song ends and Santana gives Brittany the most awkward high-five the world has ever seen, while asking why she didn’t let her know she was coming back to town. Santana snaps, “I think that the better question is why did you tell me you were dating Sam?” Santana then takes the opportunity to introduce Elaine, her “out and proud, lipstick-loving, After Ellen-reading girlfriend.” Santana and Elaine then share a quick smooch. (Side-Note: And Brittana fans everywhere hiss is disgust.) Devastated Divas: “And I didn’t even have to lay out a line of cereal for you to find me,” Santana quips as Sam (Chord Overstreet) meets her in the auditorium. (Side-Note: The episode can end right here. That was the best subtle verbal slap ever. What makes all of this so intriguing is the fact that once upon a Glee, Sam and Santana used to date, and she stole him away from Quinn. Remember that?) The two Brittany lovers hurl insults back and forth until Santana reveals her plan for retuning to Lima, “First I’m going to cut off the Sam-sized tumor on her heart and then we cam begin the long, slow process of cleaning the stink of your mediocrity off her.” And with that, the gauntlet is thrown, the music begins and they unleash an emotion-filled version of “Make No Mistake,” while Brittany secretly watches. (Side-Note: Do not hiss at me for what I’m about to say: Sam sounds amazing in this song.) As Santana turns to leave, Sam calmly tells her, “She’s with me now, and you know that’s the best thing for her. Just let it go.” Santana replies with one emotion-packed word, ‘Never.” RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Scandals, Shocks, and Sadie Hawkins Over in Emma’s office, Finn is seeking some guidance because he just found out that Rachel has moved on. “She changed her Facebook relationship status to 'shacked up,' mine still says 'heartbroken.'” (Side-Note: First of all, that would be totally awesome if you could insert your own relationship status into Facebook. Mine would currently say “Twitterpated.” And secondly, seeing Finn devastated makes me want to run out and buy him a thousand puppies just to see if it would make him smile.) Emma suggests that Finn should start dating again, perhaps even the new 26-year-old cross-eyed math sub. But Finn quickly shoots down her idea: “What do I have to offer a grown-woman like that? I’m just a man boy.” Emma says that she too has felt a little lonely and lost without Will around, rings a little bell on her desk, and encourages Finn to get back out into the dating world. (Side-Note: No, that’s terrible advice! Don’t tell him to do that. Finn needs to work on himself right now and gain his confidence from within, not from having some girl on his arm. And does anyone else have any clue why she stopped mid-sentence to ring a bell?) Delusional Diva: Tina is walking down the halls with her inner-monologue bouncing all over the place. First she says she wants to be a diva, then she hates the fact that she was upstaged by Santana yet again, and for a brief shining moment she thinks that she should call Mike because her crush on Blaine is silly. But just as quickly as her epiphany arrived, it flew away in the Lima wind. She complains to a still-sick Blaine that she wants people to see her as a diva and he invites her over to his place to help her find the perfect song. To which Tina replies, “Aww Blainey days.” (Side-Note: Blainey Days? No. Nope. Not gonna happen. I just threw up in my mouth a little. Not-uh. Stop it. Ugh. This is ridiculous.) Over at the Anderson house, Tina asks Blaine if he’s even been with a girl. "Nope, perfect gold-star gay," he replies, “Well, except for that time I kissed Rachel Berry.” Blaine lists off all the reasons that girls are perfectly fine, he’s just not attracted to them. Tina then tells him, “We’re young, we still have time to find ourselves.” (Side-Note: Okay, that comment really really pissed me off. Blaine being gay has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is ‘young,’ it’s because he’s attracted to men, Tina. Not you. Dismissing his reasons for not liking girls by saying that he still has time to “find” himself is the most ridiculous, insulting, and infuriating things I’ve heard on this show. And that's saying a lot!) Fast-forward just a bit and Blaine is passed out on his bed from the cold medicine and an unknowing Tina is professing her love for him and suggesting a “sexless relationship.” But when she realizes that Blaine is sleeping, Tina slowly unbuttons his shirt, massages Vapo-Rub onto his chest, then lays down beside him with tears in her eyes. (Side-Note: I kind of feel sad for her, but then I remember how completely ridiculous this all is and I snap right out of it. Watching her unbutton his shirt was incredibly creepy.) RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: A Hot Mess of Holiday Cheer The next day Blaine is 100 percent back to normal, but the sight of seeing his happy face seems to make something crack in Tina’s crazy brain. She snaps, “No, that’s seems a little Tina Cohen-Chang. Respect.” (Side-Note: I have absolutely no idea what just happened. What’s the matter with you?) Wearing a pink leotard, Tina channels her inner Madonna in the McKinley High courtyard with, “Hung Up,” complete with break dancers and an outfit change. The next day Finn announces that Tina has won Diva week and while the completely realistic confetti falls from the sky, Finn and Emma hug. (Side-Note: Why are you two hugging? You didn’t win. You didn’t teach her that routine. This is weird and awkward and you should stop that right now. Thanks.) Blaine gives Tina a chocolate rose, thanks her for taking care of him this week and then sweetly asks Tina to be his date for Mr. Schue and Emma’s wedding next week. Tina gladly accepts. (Side-Note: Wait, so this still isn’t over? Sigh.) Next: Jaw-Dropping Diva and NYADA Diva-Off! Jaw-Dropping Diva: Emma is completely freaking the eff out. Her wedding binders are all over the place, there are flowers flooding her desk, she is mid-panic because Will said the centerpieces were, “fine.” She cries,“I need things to be more than fine. I need them to be perfect they have to be perfect and I need them to be perfect.” Emma explains that her insecurities are from her last wedding where she let go of the details and the marriage didn’t work out. Now she is in full-on hysterics, throwing things into the trash can, ranting on and on about her dress and not making any sense whatsoever. Finn grabs her shoulders trying to calm her down saying that they make a great team. But when that doesn’t work, he panics and brushes the hair from her face and kisses her. (Side-Note: When I first saw this scene, I scared the crap out of my co-workers and screamed out, “What the f**k just happened?!” Then I tweeted it. And then I watched it again. And then I went to sleep, woke up and re-watched the scene at least 8 more times. And now I have no idea what I’m feeling anymore. Finn and Emma have always been two of my favorite characters, and now they just kissed. This season is so out of whack. I'm going to go re-watch Smash now.) RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Second Chances and New Romances NYADA Divas: Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) are in the same “free sing” class, but according to Mr. Hummel the class has turned into the Rachel hour: “Because I’m her best friend I can say this: Rachel has always been a little insufferable. Ever since she won the Winter Showcase, her ego and behavior have been out of control.” Not only is she ignoring her best friend while in the halls of NYADA, she is also surrounding herself with booty-kissing, compliment-spewing drones. At home she hogs the shower, clogs the drain with her extensions, (Side-Note: I knew it!) and makes Kurt take phone messages for her so she can save her voice. (Side-Note: Even though she’s being obxious, rude, and completely insufferable, at least she’s acting more like the Rachel we first met and fell in love with.) After one demand too many, Kurt finally lost it and decided to be brutally honest with his roommate. “Now you’ve got that weird naked boyfriend and that weird legion of sycophants, and now you’re like an annoying self-righteous Lima-Rachel on steroids.” (Side-Note: Well done Kurt, you took the words right out of my mouth. But where the heck is Brody in all of these loft scenes? What does he think about her crazy? Oh, I see. He’s too busy flexing in the mirror to notice…) To get back at him, Rachel blurted out that the only reason Kurt got the audition at NYADA is because he is friends with her. Kurt just smiled and said that Rachel may have won the Winter Showcase but it was his heart-stopping version of “Being Alive” that stole the show. So how does HummelBerry decide to settle this? With another head-to-head diva-off! Kurt finally admits to Rachel something we’ve known for nearly four years now: he lost their first diva competition on purpose so that his dad wouldn’t be embarrassed that this son could sing "Wicked" better than any girl. (Side-Note: Burt is the world’s most perfect parent. He wouldn’t have cared!) Rachel is shocked and shaken to the core screaming, “That was my first big win! That was the foundation that I built all of my confidence on for the past two years!” Kurt just smiled saying, “Well consider it cracked. Get ready for diva-off part 2.” Kurt and Rachel are going to go head-to-head at Midnight Madness — aka NYADA’s fight club. Brody explains, “Twice a year we break into a classroom for a no-holds-bard singoff to the death. Winner gets ultimate bragging rights for the rest of their time at NYADA, loser gets shamed and humiliated." At the night of the battle, Brody explains the rules: The two competitors will sing the exact same song, at the end of the performances, the groups will disperse and stand behind the singer that they think deserves to win. The song? “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables. (Side-Note: I’m sorry but I was bored out of my mind during this performance. The only thing I was paying attention to was Rachel’s dress and that’s because I’m part squirrel and love sparkly things.) The song finally ends and in the closest margin in Midnight Madness history, Kurt wins. RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Sectionals, Slaps, and Second Chances The next day, the entire school is buzzing about Kurt victory, but like the normal and kind-hearted person that he is, Kurt doesn’t let it go to his head and he scoffs off the drones who are now trying to kiss his behind. Rachel is currently in a huge funk and is moping around the halls like a lost puppy. (Side-Note: Ugh. Why is it that we can never be happy for Kurt, without feeling sad for Rachel. Also I realized that ever since last week’s Rachel vs. Rachel song, she’s been wearing a lot less makeup and her hair has lost that teased "I’m going to a party" look. Hopefully this means that we’ve found the perfect balance between new and old Rachel. Lastly, I'm choosing to ignore the fact that Adam was in this epsisode.) In the loft, Kurt tells his bestie that he has signed both of them up for the open audition for the revival of “Funny Girl” on Broadway. Despite the fact that Rachel was born to play this role, she is looking less than pleased with this news. “Let’s say by some crazy, extraordinary chance I get it, then what? I become even more of a diva nightmare then I am now? I can’t handle the pressures of stardom.” Kurt calmly and miraculously explains to Rachel that it’s alright for her to be a diva, just not a nightmare. And with that, HummelBerry is back to being the best friends. (Side-Note: Yay! But seriously, where is Brody? Oh. There he is! He’s in the bathroom spending 45 minutes perfecting his hair.) NEXT: Santana's Big Lie and The Episode's Top Moments The Final Five: Over in Sue’s office, we learn something very interesting about Santana: she dropped out of college a month ago! Rather than being upset or disappointed with her former head Cheerios, Sue offers Santana a coaching job and tells her to take the week to think about it. Santana and Brittany meet—in what I’m assuming is back stage of the auditorium—and Santana is looking pleased with herself. However, Brittany quickly admits that she is not breaking up with Sam because she really likes him and he makes her feel really smart. (Side-Note: Oh really? Did you feel super smart last week when he couldn’t believe that you got the top SAT scores in the school? Didn’t think so.) Apparently school wasn’t the only thing that Santana lied about. Brittany found out that Santana paid Elaine with scratchers tickets and a bunch of other crap to pretend to be her new ladyfriend. (Side-Note: Good. She looked boring.) RELATED: 'Glee' Recap: Enemies and Allies Brittany quickly tells her former beau that she should not take over Sue’s job as coach of the Cheerios saying, “I think you need to be somewhere that’s as big and as hot as you are. It’s okay to follow your dreams.” And after only two minutes of conversation and one small peck on the lips, Brittany and Santana decide to just stay best friends. (Side-Note: I love that they are always so mature with each other. It’s really refreshing. I’m also somehow oddly at peace with their official breakup. I think Santana deserves to be with someone who is just as passionate as she is, not someone who is just kind of there. Still love you too Britt.) Santana breaks into the best song of the night, “Girl On Fire” and gives Alicia Keys a run for her money in fierceness. And as the song ends, another little Lima enters NYC. Santana pounds on Kurt and Rachel’s door and when they shockingly ask what she’s doing there, her answer is short and unwavering: I’m moving in. (Side-Note: Hell yes! Toodles, Brody! Oh wait, now where did Brody go? Oh he’s doing pushups in the bedroom while texting another girl… probably.) Most Heartwarming Moment: Seeing Santana gain the courage to follow her dreams and move to New York. Most Heartbreaking Moment: Watching Finn kiss and realizing that this could completely devastate not one, but two original Glee couples. Quotables: “The online Urban Dictionary defines a “diva” as a fierce, often temperamental singer who comes correct. She is not a trick-ass hoe and she does no sweat the haters.” — Emma “Will keeps suggesting Costa Rica, but us gingers can be that close to the equator.” — Emma “I know you’d come around eventually, Sam’s most redeeming quality is that he can bore you to sleep and then you can use his lips as ginormous pillows.” — Santana What did you think of “Diva”? How are you feeling about the Finn/Emma kiss? Are you excited to see Santana in New York? What are your Brody speculations? Sing me your thoughts in the comments below!

Anna Faris to Star in Ellen Page's Directorial Debut, 'Miss Stevens'
February 07, 2013 7:19pm ESTAmerica's favorite pregnant teen (also known as Ellen Page), is making the jump from star to director in her debut as the latter on Miss Stevens. Man, kids these days can really overcome anything to be what they want to be! Jokes aside, Page was able to snag Anna Faris to take on the title role in the film written by Julia Hart. RELATED: 'X-Men': Paquin, Page, and Ashmore Return for Latest Sequel The film will tell the tale of Miss Stevens, a teacher with a disastrous personal life who discovers her own self-worth on a weekend trip to a state drama competition. We imagine that discovery will be found in the precocious jazz-hands of the high schoolers she's chaperoning, but we'll have to wait and see the truth of that once the film actually debuts. The news comes on the heels of several other big career announcements for both ladies: Faris is set to star in the unstoppable Chuck Lorre's new pilot Mom for CBS, as well as several other projects (a sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Give It A Year opposite Bridesmaids' Rose Byrne). Page herself is next starring in The East and Touchy Feely, and begins production on Freeheld and the highly-anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past this spring. RELATED: Finally! Anna Faris Coming to TV in New Chuck Lorre CBS Comedy 'Mom' Do you think Page has what it takes to direct? Excited about Faris' inclusion in the project? Let us know in the comments!

Slide into Baseball Season with Jackie Robinson & the '42' Poster
February 07, 2013 10:22am ESTSo long, football! You didn't get your own movie this season, so we barely remembered you existed until we caught all the summer blockbuster trailers during the Super Bowl. But we'll still miss you. With the ol' pig skin locked up until next fall, the public conscious can finally set its sights on the next sport of choice. Baseball is right around the corner, the MLB set to begin the 2013 season on March 31. To remind us why the game is America's pastime, and how it can act as a microcosm for current events, Warner Bros. is releasing its Jackie Robinson biopic, 42, on April 12, 2013. RELATED: Jackie Robinson Biopic '42' Takes Us on a Trip to the Deep South... of Brooklyn The film's first poster has arrived, delivering on both the thrills of the game and the weight of Robinson's situation. The early trailers for the movie recreate the tense environment of Robinson's ball career while infusing it with contemporary rhythm. This one-sheet does the same thing, placing baseball smack dab in the center of our thoughts. If we were even considering hockey before, we certainly aren't now that we have 42 in the immediate future. Follow Matt Patches on Twitter @misterpatches [Photo Credit: Warner Bros.
