All Britney Glee?

The latest news stemming from the all Madonna episode of Glee is that Britney Spears' manager, Adam Leber, is campaigning to get Spears an all Britney episode of the hit series.

What do you think of the idea? Personally, I'm all for it. I can just see it now. Santana (Naya Rivera) going to Finn (Cory Monteith) pleading, "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Kurt (Chris Colfer) slinking his way through "I'm a Slave 4 U" with a certain man on his mind. The lovely Glee ladies feeling empowered by singing "Stronger." So many possibilities...

Leber started the trending topic "#BritneySpearsGLEE" on Twitter with the hope of the idea catching on. Let's make this happen people!

Heidi Klum Takes Project Runway to the Red Carpet

Fans of Project Runway will recall the eleventh challenge of the season where the designers were charged with making a red carpet look worthy of the divine Heidi Klum.

In the end, Emilio Sosa won the challenge and Klum took to the red carpet in his winning dress at the premiere of "The Back-Up Plan." As evidenced in the picture, there were a few alterations, namely in the color and the length.

I prefer the drama of the original design. After comparing both dresses, you'd think Klum's dress was the one put together in a day or two!

Pop Goddess Kylie Minogue Returns with Aphrodite

Kylie Minogue will make a return to the charts on June 28th when her new single, "All The Lovers" is released. The track is the lead single from her forthcoming 11th studio album, "Aphrodite," which will be released on July 5th.

Kylie will take things back to her dance floor roots as Stuart Price was the executive producer of the album. Price produced Madonna's "Confessions On a Dance Floor." You can check out a preview of the first single here.

CW Shows Round-Up

May Sweeps is approaching, meaning it is almost season finale time for many of our favorite shows on the tube. The CW has released some juicy tidbits on the upcoming plots of some of their most popular shows from the 2009-2010 season.

I can't wait to see what happens. Be prepared people...there will be dramatic exits and devastating deaths.

Zap2it reports on "The Vampire Diaries," "Smallville," "One Tree Hill," "Gossip Girl," and "90210." WARNING: Some spoilers ahead.

When "Gossip Girl" returns, so will Serena's dad. Billy Baldwin stars as William Van Der Woodsen, and he's not going to make things easy for Rufus when they bump into each other at Lily's aparment. In the season finale, Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) is back. Of course, she's never just in town for a visit -- she's got a definite agenda. Blair and Chuck's future together will hang in the balance, all leading up to a possible showdown on top of the Empire State Building. We've confirmed with The CW that when the series returns in the fall, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) will be M.I.A. ... no news yet on how she'll make her great escape from the Upper East Side.

All is not well on "One Tree Hill." Skills returns from California to find out that Mouth, his best friend, has been hanging out with Miss Lauren. Meanwhile, Haley is still coming to terms with her mother's death, and her grief will spiral into depression. Nathan, Jamie, and the rest of their friends will convince her to join them in Utah for Julian's movie premiere. The season finale -- which was actually shot in Utah -- may be the last we see of the Tree Hill gang, as The CW hasn't yet renewed it for Season 8.

On "Smallville," Tess will break into Watchtower - and Chloe's elaborate security system will backfire, trapping both of them inside. Clark is going to realize that Zod has juiced his soldiers wtih super powers. He and Chloe will search for the Book of Rao to find out how to stop the army, but Clark will be a little bit preoccupied by a visit from his mom (Annette O'Toole) and her new boyfriend. When Clark and Zod have their final showdown to gain control of the planet, Chloe will call for backup... bringing back a few familiar faces.

Will Stefan's new human blood habit drive Elena into Damon's arms? "The Vampire Diaries" will never be the same after Stefan and Damon finally tell Elena how they became vampires in another highly-anticipated flashback episode. Damon and Alaric will continue their reluctant partnership as they try to get the jump on Jonathan Gilbert, who is headed for a messy fight with Pearl. A mysterious invention -- possibly dreamt up by the original Jonathan Gilbert in 1864 -- will bring Isobel back to Mystic Falls, but Elena's first meeting with her birth mother won't end well. Not everyone will survive the season finale on May 13.

So much for no-drama-Adrianna on "90210." She's going to record a duet with a sexy pop star (played by Diego Boneta), and their subsequent romance will put a wrench in Navid's plans to confess his feelings for her. Teddy's dad (Ryan O'Neal) isn't fond of Silver, but despite his dad's insistence that they break up, Teddy and Silver plan to take their relationship to the next level.

That’s exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero. This all-new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics. Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.
