It has been quite a week for Gleeks everywhere as not only was Glee nominated for several Emmys but Jane Lynch managed to knock everyone out of the park by winning her category.
Jane was named Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series, beating out Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men), Sofía Vergara (Modern Family) and Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live). Nice work, Jane.
Speaking of the Emmys, if you’re an internet savvy Gleek, then you probably saw the opening number to the ceremony which consisted of host Jimmy Fallon gathering stars to perform a Glee-style routine. Tina Fey, Joel McHale, Jon Hamm and Jorge Garcia joined in the festivities to sing Bruce Springsteen’s Born To Run. It went a little something like this:
The cast of Glee attended the awards in the hopes of winning and while they were working it on the red carpet they dished on some upcoming storylines. Michael Ausiello pinned down Lea Michele to ask about the state of Rachel and Finn’s relationship in the second season.
Oh yes, there will be SPOILERS AHEAD!

Video: Karl Pilkington’s ‘An Idiot Abroad’

Most of us would be thrilled at the chance to travel the world and see classical civilisations, mighty rainforests and a variety of different cultures.
However, in Karl Pilkington’s case, he would be happy to stay at home but is being forced to go on a round the world trip by Ricky Gervais, most likely for Ricky’s own personal amusement.
In a new series on Sky1, Karl will be jetting around the world to visit all the Seven Wonders of the world: the Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Petra in Jordan, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Taj Mahal in India and the Great Pyramids of Egypt.
Karl told Sky1 that, “I can’t wait to get started. Not ‘cos I’m excited but ‘cos the sooner we start the sooner it will be over. The fact the nurse gave me an injection that protects me from dirty chimps put a dampener on the whole thing. I don’t think Ross Kemp has to have that injection.”
On The Ricky Gervais Show, Karl is often the butt of Ricky and Stephen Merchant’s jokes and rightly so because he is, for lack of a better word, an idiot. He may be a strange little man but he’s completely loveable and we can’t wait for this show to start.
An Idiot Abroad begins on 5th September on Sky1. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think – drop a comment down below.

You can watch The Heroes of Biggin Hill on Thursday 12th August at 10pm. Here’s a clip detailing the fear of the local residents who endured the bombing campaign that was meant for the airbase.

After wowing the crowds and the judges in the first auditions, we predicted that Tobias Mead would go far in this year’s Britain’s Got Talent.
Now, after impressing us once again in the semi-finals, Tobias has revealed his plans are if he makes it to the finals. Talking to The Sun, Tobias said, “What I’ve got planned is really me for the final. I’ll give you a one-word teaser: Twilight.
Maybe you can expect vampire teeth. I like darkness. I’ve seen all the films. I’d love to be in them – that would make me the happiest person in the world.”
Dancing vampires? Yeah, we can get down with that but if we start seeing Tobias moping around town and whining about stuff then we’re not going to be happy.
“I’m Team Jacob but I do like Edward and Robert Pattinson, who’s a great actor. I like the whole vampire thing. It’s not about being sexy, it’s about the darkness.”
Great actor? Really? Whatever floats your boat, Tobias. If you missed his semi-final performance then take a look at this video and jump on the bandwagon with us.
