‘Glee’ by the musical numbers:

Tuesday’s two-hour, penultimate season three episode of “Glee” brought us an homage to “Freaky Friday,” a Lindsay Lohan movie, during hour one and the actual appearance of Lindsay Lohan during hour two. It also delivered another trip to nationals (this time in Chicago, not New York), several musical numbers and, of course, a ton of important questions.
Questions like: how is it possible that Quinn is completely able to walk and participate in choreographed dance numbers? I mean, I know she worked really hard during her physical therapy sessions. And I know that Joe helped her during those sessions, and he’s super-tight with Jesus. But still, this progress happened very quickly. So the lesson here is: you should not text while driving, but if you do and get in a devastating accident as a result, you’ll probably be able to recover quickly from paralysis and go to Yale anyway. At least that’s my takeaway.
Also, why did it take Rachel two episodes to decide she wouldnt give up on her NYADA dreams when she’s only been working toward this moment since birth? Also, given the fact that she’s been stalking Carmen Tibideaux, why did she need Tina to tell her that the woman normally known as Whoopi Goldberg is teaching a master class at Oberlin?
Did you know that next week is the finale and the graduation episode? How tear-jerky is that episode going to be? (Answer: very.) Also: will all of you join me if I spearhead a national chant of “Noah Puckerman graduates” during next week’s episode?
Clearly there’s no way to resolve all these matters right now. Let’s just get right to the musical numbers. This was a two-hour episode and we have a lot of Celine Dion songs to cover.

Lindsay Lohan on ‘Glee’: Did her so-called ‘image rebranding’ effort succeed?

Lindsay Lohan: waving at nationals like a true champ.
(Fox)
“Is there anything better than someone making a comeback?”
Lindsay Lohan, playing the role of Lindsay Lohan, asked that question — wink, wink — during tonight’s second hour of “Glee.” She also reminded us that she’s a twelve-time Teen Choice Award nominee and is in full-on “image rebranding mode,” which, of course, is why she agreed to do a guest appearance on the Fox series in the first place.
So how did she do?

Kids reenacting Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’ video is best thing you’ll see all day

Adam Yauch died a week and a half ago. But the tributes to the late MCA of the Beastie Boys, who died May 4 of cancer at the age of 47, continue.
The latest, and arguably the cutest, salute to the late Yauch comes via a recreation of the Boys’ classic “Sabotage” video, as performed by a bunch of young children and directed by Portland filmmaker James Winters.
Yes, the kids wear funny mustaches, leap over fences and give themselves ridiculous cop show names just like MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D did in the original. But they also do something better: participate in a heated game of Connect Four.
Watch the James Winters version, followed by the Spike Jonze-directed version, below and revel in their genius. (Thanks to Best Week Ever for bringing this gem to our attention.)

‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’: A primer on its massive cast

(Lionsgate)
Hillary Clinton reminded us that it takes a village to raise a child. That entire village is in “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.”
Actually, it’s not so much a village as it is a posse of celebrity moms and dads who comprise a cast large enough to run its own daycare. Seriously, the child-to-parent ratios at the What to Expect When You’re Expecting Center for Infants and Toddlers would be off the charts.
With so many people in the cast of this rom-com that’s kinda sorta based on the most-read pregnancy manual in the history of childbirth, it can be challenging to keep track of everyone.
With that in mind, allow me to offer this guide to (most of) the cast of “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” including a primer on how much we should have expected to see these actors appearing in a chick flick (opening Friday!) like this one.
