The Brittany/Britney episode of “Glee” just got a whole lot bigger. It looks like Britney Spears herself is in fact to guest star in the episode.

So I have a bunch of “Glee” news to post that I’ve been reading over the past week and is stuck in my head. A lot of this comes from ComicCon reports from the likes of Ausiello/Korbi/Kristen and others.

As previously mentioned, the show returns the 21st, while the Britney Spears themed episode is set for the 28th, the 2nd show of the season. It’s being called Britney/Brittany and Brittany finally will be a featured singer, doing two songs in the show. Matthew Morrison objected to the idea in the press when it came up eons ago when the Madonna episode had just aired, so apparently through the whole episode Mr. Shuester refuses to take part in the Britney love fest.

There will also be some kind of tribute to the “Rocky Horror Show” in an episode. No other info is known.

There is supposed to be less musical numbers this season per episode so they can focus more on the characters and stories.

Kurt’s dad (Mike O’Malley) is being bumped up to a full cast member (I believe, maybe it was recurring?). So there could be hope for him and Finn’s mom still!

Pop singer Charice is joining the show as a new member of New Directions and will give Rachel a run for her money. Meanwhile just announced today Chord Overstreet of “iCarly” is also a new member, and will be Finn’s competition.

TVGuide’s Keck Has revealed that Coach Tanaka is out and a new football coach is in . . . a female coach! Dot Jones joins the show as Shannan Beastie. Whach out Sue!

Both Indina Menzel and Kristin Chenowith are expected to return at some points in Season 2.

Finally the big news from Ausiello today is that Cheyenne Jackson is joining the show as Vocal Adrenaline’s new coach!

*Bonus Update!* Cheyenne Jackson singing a song from “Xanadu.”

Just a quick post on some other show return dates for the fall. The CW is getting the jump on everyone, premiering several of their new shows beginning September 8th.

“90210″ moves to Mondays on September 13th. The big news this season is also the new poll, one of the three main guys comes out of the closet!

Over on Fox, the week of September 20th is their premier week for most shows, just as it is for NBC. “Glee” returns on September 21st, while “Fringe” returns on September 23rd.

Given the loss of so many shows I watched this past season, I’ve added “Fringe” to the blog. I enjoy the show, but as it’s on against “Grey’s,” I always fall behind with it. Plus so many of the shows are stand-alone shows, and I have trouble finding things to comment on those type of shows, ones that have arcs are easier because it leads to speculation.

Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Glee,” spoke to “Entertainment Tonight” about an upcoming episode of the show. Already having done a Madonna and a Gaga epiose, it seems another tribute episode is in the works. “We are writing a Britney Spears episode,” Murphy told “Entertainment Tonight.”

So last night was the season finale of “Glee.” Now while I didn’t expect them to win regionals, I sure as hell didn’t expect them to be last place! I was so angry at how biased the judges were. “Oral Intensity” clearly learned who the judges were and kissed ass, and Sue went in to destroy “New Directions.” However in the end she ultimately became the hero. When the panel of celebrity judges dissed her as a wanna-be celebrity, and then dissed the kids as not up to par just like her, she changed her tune and voted for “New Directions.” Even though they didn’t win, Sue also got Principal Figgens to change his mind and give Will and the club one more year.

I do love that Quinn’s baby Beth went to Shelby, the coach of “Vocal Adrenaline,” who has retired to finally have the life she missed out on by giving up Rachel. Why do I have a feeling the old choir director Sandy is going to be the new coach of “Vocal Adrenaline?”

Will finally professed his love to Emma, who unfortunately had begun seeing another man, her dentist. Will however said he wasn’t giving up on her, he knew she loved him too. Word broke yesterday that John Stamos has apparently been cast as Emma’s new love interest. Why do I get the feeling we’ll be hearing a lot of Elvis and Beach Boys from him?

Last night’s episode was so amazing on so many levels! Of course the stand out moment, even overshadowing all the Rachel/Shelby stuff, was Kurt’s father’s speech to Finn after using the “F” word in his house. I actually hope, given Finn learned a lesson by the end of the show, that Kurt and Finn’s mom don’t break up.

My favorite number was “Bad Romance,” as it was amazing to see both Tina and Sanata taking the lead vocals for a change. Santana might give Mercedes a run for her money!

Tina’s “Asian Vampires” routines with Figgens was amazing. It was hilarious when she and Will realized he thought Vampires were real! “My mom won’t even let me watch Twilight, she thinks Kristen Stewart seems like a bitch.” Amazing!

Of course the “Poker Face” goodbye between Rachel and Shelby was touching too. Here is hoping that Indina becomes a semi-regular on the show. It would suck for Rachel to lose her mom twice.

The big winner of the night though has to go to the costumes! I loved Brittany’s the best, though Quinn looked fierce with those lashes!

Season 2 hasn’t even begun, but apparently Fox has already renewed “Glee” for a third season. Several cast members have been tweeting about this in the past hour. Looks like we have a lot of “Glee” in our futures!

Meanwhile a spoiler came out on the Ryan Seacrest show that Puck and Arty both have to re-audition for the club next year, and only one makes the cut!

Here is an official story on the pick-up from Entertainment Weekly.

I have to admit, the past few “Glee” episodes have been very hit or miss. I either love them, or really don’t care for them (I never hated them!). This last episode was stellar, resolving the major question that has been on everyone’s minds . . . who is Rachel’s mother!

As some of you guessed, Jesse from Vocal Adrenaline was a spy from their coach, who is in fact Rachel’s mom. Yes, Idina Menzel is the mommy! She signed a contract saying she couldn’t see Rachel until she was 18, but Rachel could seek her out. She used Jesse to plant the seeds in Rachel to make her curious enough to try and find her. Damn it was a good reveal too! Even though it was so obviously coming, it was amazing.

Next week is the “Lady Gaga” episode. For those who have not yet bought the “Glee Volume 3″ soundtrack, Rachel and Idina cover “Poker Face” in it. We saw the lead in, with Rachel confronting her knowing she was her mom. It should be hot!

Neil Patrick Harris in this episode was also stellar. I loved the “Dream On” duet. However the real winner of the whole episode was Artie doing “Safety Dance” and in a flash mob spoof to boot! WIN WIN WIN!

Next week’s episode should be totally epic!
