Glee Love Debate: Should Rachel Be With Finn or Puck?
If you're a Glee fan of any measure, you may have heard that certain Glee watchers are strongly split on one question: Who is Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) one true partner? Should she be singing duets with earnest jock Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) or harmonizing with edgy "jerk" Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling)?
We're partial to both pairings, which means we could be persuaded either way, and that's why we're hosting another one of our irregular (but oh-so-fun) love debates.
So we've opened the floor to speeches in favor of both Team Puckleberry and Team Finnchel, and selected the best two arguments to present to you today. Your job is to jump in here, read the resolutions in favor, and then decide for yourself which pairing is more perfect for Rachel.
Ready? Set? Go!
Tuesday Time-Slot Hell: Glee Versus Lost
OK, so apparently, all the TV networks simultaneously noticed Tuesday nights have been a bit of a dead zone in terms of hipster TV. Yes, CBS has lots of high-rated shows that night, and FX has had Sons of Anarchy, and ABC is trying its darnedest with V, but compared to the utter gridlock of Mondays and Thursdays, Tuesday TV has been blissfully low-stress when it comes to must-see shows.
No more. Fox just released its 2010 TV schedule and it has placed Glee's new episodes (which premiere April 13) on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Unfortunately, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. just so happen to be when ABC is putting the final season of Lost. Not to mention there are already plenty of Melrose Place, NCIS: L.A. and The Biggest Loser fans out of there, and their faves all already air at that time.
Brutal, man. Our house has four DVRs total, so we can probably survive this without picking up a third dual-tuner TiVo at Best Buy, but most people don't have such a gluttonous appetite for TV. Therefore: Choices must be made.

This Just In: Chelsea Talks Toe Sucking, and Glee Will Suck Your Morning Away
Glee: Jenna Ushkowitz can sing! In tomorrow night's episode of Glee, the stutterer fibber you fans know as Tina will finally get her first solo, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors," which is already making its way around the Internets, and we can't stop listening to it this morning. (Hear it above, and don't tell our bosses.) The episode also will feature Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious," John Lennon's "Imagine" and a cast mashup of Broadway's "Hair" with Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love." Anyone else hoping the last one is sung by Artie and Tina? In a hot tub?
Fringe: Our inside sources confirm that Fringe will be put on a temporary hiatus for seven weeks beginning Feb. 11. In its place, Fox will air the midseason drama Past Life.
The Good Wife: And you'll never guess which awesome E! comedian extraordinaire is stopping by CBS' The Good Wife to rattle Juliana Margulies' children!
OK, you can probably guess from that headline up there, but click in for a sneak peek of Chelsea's episode; plus, Aimee Teegarden on Legend of the Seeker and Mr. Sarah Michelle Gellar (Freddie Prinze Jr.) on 24...
This Just In: Neil Patrick Harris Should Rule the World
Not So Horrible: In case you turned off the Internet yesterday, you may have missed the news that Neil Patrick Harris joined Twitter. NPH finds Twitter a fascinating and strange new medium for his comedy stylings. See above for proof.
Whee, Glee! New instant-classic Glee music is available online, including a version of "Lean on Me" (we're already preparing to cry during this TV performance), a fabulous pop "Crush," and "I'll Stand by You," which we have to guess (just guess) is Cory Monteith's Finn serenading Dianna Agron's Quinn about her pregnancy and such. Loverly!
Together Again? These new photos of Chace Crawford and Taylor Momsen filming Gossip Girl in New York remind us what a cute couple Little J and Nate were way back in season two. Anybody else want to see them rekindle something once Jenny turns 18?
Taking a Break: Julianne Hough told our own Ryan Seacrest she won't be back for Dancing With the Stars season 10.
American Music Awards: E! got the exclusive scoop that our girl Kristen Bell will be a presenter at the American Music Awards this weekend, along with Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Colbie Caillat.

Spoiler Chat: Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd Dishes on (And Defends!) "Love Triangle"
Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.
Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.
Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.
Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (is Stefan really gone?) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.
It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...
Alex in Rhode Island: Please don't tell me Kim Raver is sticking around long on Grey's Anatomy!
Glee Sneaks: Look Who's Got a Crush on Teacher!
This week's all-new installment of Glee is called "Ballad," and it centers on Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) new and inappropriate crush on "Mr. Shu" (Matthew Morrison). As Mr. Shu tries to manage Rachel's feelings, he recalls another schoolgirl-crush situation that plagued him in the past. And that young lady is none other than the always-divine Sarah Drew as Suzy Pepper. We caught up with Sarah a few weeks back to discuss her guest gig on Grey's Anatomy and she tipped us off about what to expect from her Glee part:
Exclusive
Glee Boss Gets on Board With Puck and Rachel!
Let's get ready to ruuummmble!
The Glee producers have heard you fans loud and clear about your desire to see more Puck and Rachel—or more Finn and Rachel—and are prepared to give you what you want: More.
"We never expected that to catch on quite so well," executive producer Brad Falchuk told me of the show's short-lived Puck and Rachel hookup and subsequent fandemonium. "So we'll have to do something about that."
Testify!
Last night I hit up a secret screening of the next episode of Glee, and scored scoop from the cast and creative team on the show's romantic entanglements, Madonna and more. So who's on Team Puck? Team Finn? What evil things is Rachel up to? See the video above.
As for Artie and Tina's new romance, the recent allegations from the disabled actors community and what else lies ahead, here's what you Gleeks have to know...
Spoiler Chat: The Gossip Girl Threesome Gets Even Messier, Courtesy Lady Gaga
By now, some of you have seen it: Tonight's ménage à twist that had the Parents Television Council all in a tizzy.
(If you haven't, read no further until you do.)
So what happens next on Gossip Girl? Are D and O over? What about V? And what's this about a certain Miss Lady Gaga getting in on the action? And a Gossip Girl heading to the hospital?
We have the scoop in our latest roundup of exclusive TV dish, along with the latest on Grey's hot couplings (will it be Cristina and Owen or Cristina and Jackson?), Chuck's sad news for fans of Sarah and Chuck, and a breakup on Friday Night Lights...
Lucas in Evanston, Ill.: Forget Owen and Cristina on Grey's Anatomy! Give us some scoop on Cristina and Jackson! Please?
Glee Sneak Peeks: Get Your First Look at "Wheels"!
Whoo! "Wheels" is almost here. The much-talked-about and heartbreakingly good Glee episode "Wheels" premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Fox, but we have five sneak peeks for you right here, right now, to get you excited about what's to come. Up first? Press play above to see the beginning of the "diva-off" between Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) over the Wicked song "Defying Gravity."

Spoiler Chat: House and Office Romance Scoop!
OK, OK, we hear you!
Apparently all you TV fans want to know about is:
- House and Cuddy and the possibility of hanky-panky
- The Office's new Jim and Pam (is it blasphemy to call them that?)
We've done some digging with inside sources (and a couple of castmembers themselves) to come up with inside info for you.
Read on for our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...
Sherrie in Louisiana: Forget Jam. I'm digging this Erin and Andy flirtation on The Office! Will they actually hook up?
This Just In: Glee Gets Its Game On
Glee: So much better than Roseanne! OK, so that's not saying much, but still, the Glee cast totally rocked it singing the national anthem at the World Series. So much so that we've unearthed the video for you above. And even better, Rachel looked legitimately happy to be singing backup. Atta girl.
24: It's tough to keep an evil dead dude down! Hot on the heels of our news that—Spoiler Alert!—Bart Bass is coming back to Gossip Girl, Fox has confirmed to us that Gregory Itzin, aka President Logan, will return to 24 for the eight season, starting Jan. 17. Step up to the plate, Jean Smart!
Chuck: Kristin Kreuk better step off Sara's man! Zachary Levi has posted a pic of his new love interest and, we have to admit, they look pretty cute. (Sorry, Clark.)
Dancing With the Stars: The flu bug has bitten Lacey Schwimmer. She'll be replaced this week by Anna Trebunskaya.
Community: Anthony Michael Hall is set to guest star, per NBC.
This Just In: Desperate Housewives May Never Die
Desperate Housewives: Marc Cherry has extended his contract with ABC Studios for another two years, which could keep Desperate Housewives on the air through at least 2013. Of course the big question is whether the cast's main players—Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria Parker, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross—will want to go that long. They're currently only committed through the 2010-2013 season. And let's face it, with all the natural disasters on Wisteria Lane (tornadoes, planes falling out of the sky), it'd be a bloody miracle if anyone survived that long.
D'oh! Simpsons actor Dan Castellaneta will play the pilot of the small plane that will crash on Desperate Housewives, mowing over a few people along the way. We suppose Greg Grunberg wasn't available?
Long Live Chuck! No official word yet from NBC, but sources confirm that Trauma will not go past its current 13-episode order, making room for Chuck to return on Monday nights early next year. Somewhere, Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez are doing a bromantic tango to celebrate.
Glee: As proof that not all E! Online writers agree on the music of Glee, this die-hard Gleek will point out that the cast's rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" has just been certified Gold for digital sales in excess of 500,000 downloads. Boo-ya! So far, more than 2 million Glee songs have been bought online.
