Last week it was NPH belting out Areosmith.

This week, the cast of ‘Glee’ went gaga, as in Lady Gaga the biggest pop queen since Madonna (which Glee also covered).

The cast took on the hits of ‘Bad Romance’ which featured the girls+Kurt dressed their versions of Lady Gaga best (and outrageous) costumes (which were designed by her own costume designer).  Then Rachel (Lea Michele) and Shelby (Indina Menzel) blessed us with a duet of a stripped down acoustic version of ‘Poker Face’ that also served as a very emotional moment for the on-screen mom/daughter team.

However, the award for best scene of the night…that goes to Mike O’Malley (Burt Hummel).  When he catches Finn uses some hateful gay slurs towards Kurt, he went off on his ass, telling him he [Finn] was no longer welcome in his home and if he cost him Finn’s mom then that would be the price he pays, saying that he loves his [Finn] mom but his family and son come first.  The last shot is of Kurt breaking down in tears.  If that scene doesn’t get Emmy’s attention…

The boys did a pretty rockin ‘Kiss’ number and Indina Menzel did a FAB solo of Funny Girl (all available on iTunes).

The first 2 mins of the show also gave our favorite Vampire Series Twilight a good shout out as Principal Figgins singles Tina C out for her ‘Gothic’ look and says “American teens are coming down with a serious case of Twilight Fever”.

Check out ‘Bad Romance’, ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Twilight’ shout out below.

**SPOILERS AHEAD: READ AT OWN RISK**

Gleek’s dream came true last night as the highly anticipated ‘Dream On’ episode of ‘Glee’ finally aired.

Why were we looking forward to it you ask? Why because 3 of the most amazing people guest stared/directed in that episode.

‘Dream On’ was directed by superstar Joss Whedon (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘Angel’, ‘Dr.Horrible Blog’), the episode then guest starred Tony Winner Indina Menzel (Wicked, Rent), and then topped off with Mr.Triple Threat Neil Patrick Harris (‘How I Met Your Mother).

Harris starred at Bryan Ryan a new school board member and classmate of Mr.Shu’s (Matthew Morrison) who is sent to make budget cuts.  His first attack glee club solely because he didn’t make it on to The Great White Way aka Broadway.

What we got… a drunken version of ‘Piano Man’ and then the killer duet of Areosmith’s ‘Dream On’ between Harris and Morrison while auditioning for the same role at the local community theater.

On the side Jesse (Jonathan Groff) has forgiven Rachel (Lea Michele) and very randomly gets her to admit she misses having a mother.  This leads to us finding out Jesse’s true reasons for joining ‘New Directions’ (hint it wasn’t his “love” for Rachel…at first).

We also see Artie (Kevin McHale) dealing with is dead dream of being a dancer, but we do get to see Artie out his chair doing a pretty good remix of ‘Safety Dance’.  Its Artie that ends the episode singing ‘Dream a Little Dream’ as sad and depressed like.

In the end Mr. Shu gives his lead role in Les Mis to Bryan in order to keep the glee club and in the ‘Yeah we so guessed this a few months ago‘ moment it is revealed that Indina Menzel’s  ’Shelby Corcoran’ director of Vocal Adrenaline is Rachel Berry’s birth mother and that is the original reason Jesse joined New Direction was to help bring the together.

What we got…a fabulous duet of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Mis between Menzel/Michele.

Check out both ‘Dream On’ and ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ below.

My favorite Scoop Master Michael Ausellio over at EW.com has just announced some LEGENDARY news straight off the Golden Globes red carpet…

Neil Patrick Harris is set to guest star on an May sweeps episode of ‘GLEE’.

Not only that, but this episode will be the one directed by Joss Whedon (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, Buffy).

NPH joins the ever growing list of A-List guest stars including EVE, Olivia Newton-John, Josh Groban, and Wicked Stars Kristen Chenoweth and Indina Menzel.

First we saw the awesome Kristin Chenoweth guest star on ‘GLEE’ as April Rhodes.

Now ‘GLEE’ is looking to bring on her ‘Wicked’ co-star Indina Menzel for a multi-episode arc.

So will she be playing…the choir director for the rival Vocal Adrenaline or a certain glee diva’s birth mom??

Who else is looking to see if we can get a little Kristin/Indina duet action????

‘GLEE’ returns on April 13,2010 will all new episodes!!
