And to think, it all started with a blazer.... who would have thought our introduction to Glee's Blaine Anderson played by the super talented Darren Criss would lead to everything that it has.

Never before have we seen a character come full circle with a song that has so much meaning.  And not just to the character but to the actor as well.  On the most recent episode of Glee The Breakup we get to see Darren perform an acoustic version of Katy Perry's and in it's own way, Darren's hit song "Teenage Dream".

Besides the interesting arrangement of the song, the tone behind each performance of Teenage Dream on the show truly makes each version unique. While the show has its ups and downs this is one of the more recent moments that really stood out to me. And also an element of the show that has carried over from a previous season in a way that wasn't forced or cheesy. I included an old interview of Darren from Rolling Stone from when he first starred in the role of Blaine he comments (well sings)  what it means to him and where he'd hope the story would go and for the most part it seems like he ha really had some input on the character as I feel a lot of the things he mentioned about the character and his relationship with Kurt have come to fruition. I just love what the show has done with this character and hope you guys do too!

OF COURSE a gay man doean't know how to work a computer, just like a woman doesn't either...right?! At lest that's what you'd be lead to believe in the first five minutes of NBC's upcoming Fall show, The New Normal.  The show centers around a gay couple David (David Burka) and Bryan (Andrew Rannells) who have decided to have a surrogate played by the adorable and quirky Georgia King, bare their child so they can start a family.

And while the show is filled with a plethora of additional stereotypes like this, it's still remains quite enjoyable. Primarily because it comes from TV juggernaut Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story).  Let's face it, the guys guys a beast...he's running the tv airwaves right now, somehow controlling your brain at the same time while sipping on a latte!

The show is super funny but I cannot help but to imagine the couple of David and Bryan EASILY being a future version Kurt and Blaine, characters from Murphy's hit show Glee (they even resemble older versions of the couple). Obviously, this could be my years of Glee watching and singsongs that have made me so biased so I'd be curious to see how other watchers of the show felt.

Just when I was getting bored on Twitter, Glee/American Horror/The New Normal creator Ryan Murphy joined making it interesting again. As if the guy isn't busy enough working on and promoting three  shows this Fall, he has somehow found time to talk about ALL of them on twitter as well! If his tweets are any indication it seems as though Murphy has a clear and well defined idea of where he wants each show to go.  Murphy is also sharing fun pics from the shows and also a first look at a teaser for Glee Season 4! What do you guys think?! Let me know on the RBR Facebook page! Also, you can follow Ryan on twitter @MrRPMurphy . Check out more pics and the Glee Season 4 trailer after the jump!

So Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow in a movie about a show choir....this can't be good right?...RIGHT?! Well contrary to that gut reaction your having to this idea the trailer for their upcoming film Pitch Perfect actually looks super funny.  This is due in part to to it's wonderfully funny cast Adam Devine from the Comedy Central hit show Workaholics and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, What to Expect When You're Expecting).

While on the surface this is a stereotypical rom com with Kendrick most likely fawning after some guy it seems like there may be a little more there.  I think the jokes are hilariously and just hope the gags don't get old.  If the film's director Jason Moore, mainly known for his work in television (Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill) can pull this off then this film should be a lot of fun to check out.  Take a look at the trailer after the jump!

Now while most of you may know Harry Shum Jr. as the funny and super talented dancer, Mike Chang on Glee there's a badass side to this guy that shows up in his latest project Already Gone.  In the film Shum plays an accomplice to a man named Jude Mulvey played by (Shawn Ashmore) that has taken his fate into his own hands  and is taking out the bad guys head on!

What's really cool about the project brought to us by director Ross Ching and writer Bill Balas is that it's experimenting in how films get made. The short is a marketing tool utilized to gain interest in hopes of creating a Feature Length movie.

After not having aired an episode of the the show since Feb. 21st Glee returned to answer some of our lingering questions from it's last episode, which was filled with dramatic events covering some very topical issues happening in the teen community  right now.  However, it wasn't quite the episode one might have been expected.
