Some of the cast members from helped open one of the World Series games recently, delivering an enjoyable version of the national anthem.

The song was brilliantly sung by , who plays Mercedes on the show and was once rejected by American Idol producers (seriously, somebody should get fired over that). On backup you’ll see Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale (with no wheelchair!), Dianna Agron, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

You’ll want to have the sound turned up before you watch this clip, or you’ll miss most of the Glee.

Who needs a Thanksgiving parade when they can have Halloween celebration?

The cast of Glee might not be welcome to perform during NBC’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but they will still have a stadium full of supporters.

On October 31, the FOX stars will hit the field during Game 3 of the World Series. The performance - which will take place in either LA or Philadelphia - will come at the start of the game when the cast members sing the National Anthem.

NBC Ejects Glee Cast from Thanksgiving Parade

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, Specials, FOX, NBC, Gossip, Video


It’s the opening of the Christmas season and an integral part in Miracle on 34th Street, but that doesn’t mean the huge Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which prances through several blocks of New York City on live TV is just meant for everybody…especially those from rival networks.

You see, the good folks at Macy’s invited the cast of FOX’s to participate in the parade. Reports say that the actors have been working on costuming and choreography for the event, which has now been nixed by NBC. It seems the Peacock doesn’t want the kids from that extremely successful show stealing any more of its ratings. Since NBC has the right to air the parade, they simply told Macy’s to cancel the deal.

Friday Ratings: NBC Makes a Week End Mark

Up until now, CBS has traditionally dominated Friday nights with its Ghost Whisperer/Numb3rs combo. But could Jay Leno potentially change that? Although we’re still a week away from finding out, the program got off to a nice start this weekend. Primetime’s new 10:00 show helped give NBC a win in both the viewers and the demos.

Wednesday Ratings: Ugly Start for Beautiful Life

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings

When it comes to shows about young adults, it seems audiences prefer characters who are awkward and musical—not pretty and anorexic. Yesterday’s debut of The Beautiful Life bombed despite an ANTM lead-in and raised approximately 5 million less than its FOX competitor (Glee). As Stanford Blatch would say, TBL was Wednesday night’s fashion roadkill.
