Unfortunately, they are only going to 4 different cities. Also, the tour is taking place in May, when some of the younger Gleeks will still be in school. I wish that they were going to more cities, but seeing as this is their first concert tour, they probably need to see how well it goes before they plan a giant tour. If it’s extremely successful, who knows! Maybe we’ll be getting another tour when Season 2 is airing that will stop in more cities. One can only hope! :)

Here are the details that have been announced:
May 18 – Dodge Theater, Phoenix
May 20 – Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
May 21 – Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
May 25 – Rosemont Theater, Chicago
May 26 – Rosemont Theater, Chicago
May 28 – Radio City Music Hall, New York
May 29 – Radio City Music Hall, New York

Matthew Morrison said in the past that he “likes his summer vacations” and probably wont be on the tour. Why? He might make use of the downtime and start recording his own solo album. Also, it has been reported (by EW.com) that Jane Lynch will not be attending the tour either. Hopefully, we will still be able to see all of the glee kids performing!

You can buy your tickets online at Ticketmaster.com, but as of now, only some of the dates appear. Ticket sales will officially start on March 12 for the Phoenix performance, and the tickets for the rest of the stops will go on sale the following day.

EDIT: A new tour date as been added! The Glee cast will also be performing at 3:00 PM at Radio City Music Hall. Perhaps because all the other tickets sold out the presale? xP Remember to grab some!

The following songs on the album are actually inspired by some of Kerry’s (and our) favorite scenes from Glee:

Emma
Lunch Table for One
Chalk it Up to Fate
Mixed Signals
Ten Seconds
The Tentative Flirtations of a High School Guidance Counselor
The Truth Hurts
Where There’s a Will

As you can tell, some of them are a little subtler than others. (Haha, The Tentative Flirtations of a High School Guidance Counselor… xD) If you want to buy it on iTunes, it is available here: Kerry Muzzey – Home Movies 2. Also, it’s available on other digital music marketplaces, including Amazon.com.

As a thank you to all the Glee fans who loved “Looking Back” on Glee, Kerry will be giving away a free copy of his latest CD, including some signed sheet music! :D All you have to do is leave a comment below and we will contact the lucky winner by email. Or, you can send me an email at rob@gleefan.com to be entered! Good luck!

Just for fun, here’s the preview clip for the new version of “Looking Back” again! :)

Listen to “Looking Back”:

I’m sure that most of you have seen a Twitter account called @UltimateGleeks, especially since for a short period of time, we were ‘partnered’ with the man who runs it. He told me that his name was Zachary Jaydon and he claimed to have a position at Fox in the LA office as a marketer. He explained to me and other Glee fansite owners that part of his job at Fox is to create an “official unofficial” Glee twitter account so that Fox can maximize Glee hype on social networks like Twitter. He went by the name ‘Zachary Jaydon’ to the people he contacted, claiming to be a resident of LA & Orlando. [I now know that he changed his name from Jaydon D. Paull to Zachary Jaydon after one of his arrests.] After talking with him extensively for 2 weeks, I decided to check up on him a little more. I Direct Messaged Chris Colfer, asking if he’d ever met a Zachary Jaydon, and of course he said no. Only problem is that this Zach guy claimed to have a working relationship on a first name basis with Chris & the other cast members, which seemed odd to me if he was just a marketer. Then his lies became increasingly elaborate until I had to try and figure out all I could about this guy.

Turns out, when you type “Zachary Jaydon” into Google, the auto-complete feature adds the words ‘fraud’ and ‘in jail’ to the end. Surprise! With a little bit of research, and a call to the Fox office to see if they could look him up, I was able to figure out that he is not a Fox employee and in fact is a known con man who has been charged for robbery. He has a fake bio which makes him out to be a multi-platinum songwriter (and even goes as far to say that he was a series regular on the Mickey Mouse Club.) All this has since been removed from IMDb and Wikipedia since Wikipedia admins discovered his history with fraud. I wouldn’t have even believed it was supposedly his bio if it hadn’t mentioned details of his personal life (like living in LA & Orlando, acting, and being in the SAG… all lies) that he had mentioned to me over the phone. He’s been to charged in Ohio, (as well as in Montana, I believe) so I checked his phone number he’d contacted me through and it is indeed a Cincinnati, Ohio area code.

This man is a professional con artist and was more convincing than you can possibly imagine. He seemed to know the industry well enough that he was able to convince me he was legit, at first. Then was able to talk his way out of any of my suspicions. He has conned several famous music artists in the past including Ben Bledsoe and the band Close to Home, which I believe may be related to his possible arrests. Here are cached pages of a blog that contained many posts about his fraudulent ways, but the blog has since vanished. (Suspicious, much?)
[Edit 3/10/10: It seems that the cached versions of the blog posts have disappeared (possibly Jaydon's doings), but the original blog's author emailed me a link to her new blog about him here:]
The Fraud Files

Currently, he has been contacting influential members of the Glee online fandom and pretending to be a Fox employee seeking to work with the Glee fansites to maximize the online hype for Glee. When Travis (@gleeks) asked to see his @fox.com email for verification (which all Fox employees have), he said that he was instructed not to use it since he would be working directly with fans and didn’t want his company email to get spammed by thousands of Glee fans with questions. Good answer! Too bad Fox has confirmed with me that he does NOT work there.

More than once, he has started rigged contests offering signed Glee DVD box sets and CD’s. I myself even fell for it and let him do contests with me, but he obviously has no prizes to give out. I asked if he could send me pictures of the contest prizes, and he kept making excuses like “Oh, I sent them in an email. Didn’t you get it?” Then he told me that he had some “stock” images in his email that he could send me, but they all ended up being images that I found when using Google image search. Luckily, the people at Fox came to the rescue and gave me some legit contest prizes to replace with his non-existent ones. Also, you’ve probably noticed his tweets like “The musical numbers featured in the “Back 9″ are insane! I can’t wait for you guys to find out! Get ready! @UltimateGleeks” I can guarantee you that he doesn’t know anything that hasn’t already been made public. He just wants to seem like he has some inside knowledge so that people will trust him. Nice try, but we aren’t falling for it anymore!

Just as bad, he fed me fake news and spoilers for 2 weeks before I caught on. To him lying came so incredibly easy, it’s truly disturbing. He just made up spoilers that he found out from “office meetings” on a daily basis. The tour cities he gave me and the spoilers about the roles for season 2? Unfortunately, he made them up and lied to my face. Lately, Zach has taken to trying to ruin GleeFan’s legitimacy. Check out the last 20 comments or so on this page: Enter the Official GleeFan.com Gleek Talent Showcase! Round 1 I’ve looked at the IP addresses of all the comments, and I can promise you that every single negative one (except for Jo, who is a real person) is Zach commenting under a fake name. [Here’s the proof that he made ALL of those comments from the same 4 IP addresses!] Since every device (cell phone, computer, etc) has its own IP address, this proves that he was continually commenting with fake names in order to try and make my site look bad. Too bad he didn’t know that WordPress tracks IP addresses from commenters! Then he even steps in as Ultimate Gleeks and tries to make himself look like a saint. HA! The only reason I haven’t deleted them is because I wanted to reference them here. I thought it was kind of funny that people were “pulling” their videos even though they hadn’t even submitted them to me!

He already has over 3,600 followers on Twitter and to be honest, I have no idea what he plans on getting out of this. So far, he has gotten nothing from me of value, but I believe his goal was to try and somehow get money out of me and the other unsuspecting Glee fans by selling non-existent Glee merchandise. (He spoke about some custom Glee character bobble-heads he thought we should sell on GleeFan.com, which sounded incredibly suspicious to me.) I’m not quite sure where he plans on going with this, but trust me on this: He is dangerous. He is a smooth talker. He will gain your trust and then stab you in the back, just as he did to me. I’ve been working on this blog since last May and this guy mysteriously popped up out of nowhere a month ago. Who do you think is more reliable?

So what can you do?
#1: UNFOLLOW HIM. If you follow him on Twitter, CHANGE THAT. Seriously. I can guarantee you that all his “exclusive” news is 100% fabricated and his contests are rigged. Everything he tweets is common knowledge. There is no point in following him at all.

#2: Tweet the truth about him. You can link to this post if you’d like or just tweet that people unfollow him. Here’s a shortened link to this post: http://bit.ly/c7VfcY. There are a lot of genuinely awesome Glee Twitter accounts out there, but he is NOT one of them.

I’m sorry for having worked with him, but now that we know the truth, we must stop him.

Note: I cannot prove any of the details of his past without a shadow of a doubt, so forgive me if any of them are inaccurate. However, any part of the post dealing directly with things that went on between him and me are 100% true.

Apparently, Mrs. Obama and her daughters are big fans of the show! Since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some “lickety-split schedule rejiggering” in order to honor the request.

Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!

Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

All in all, not a bad stretch for the Glee club: Glee The Music Volume 1 just debuted at No. 1 on the UK album charts, ahead of the ubiquitous Lady Gaga!

One of our Canadian Gleeks, Allie, sent us some photos that were taken at the star-studded Club Bud NHL party in Vancouver this weekend! You can see all of her other celebrity candids on her blog, Vancity Allie, but we’re reposting the ones of the Glee cast here for you. :)

For today, we’re bringing you a commercial that Cory Monteith made for Western Canada Lottery’s lotto game EXTRA. “With more than 8 million EXTRA winners in the west every year, that’s a whole lot of cheering.” At least now we know what Finn would look like in a Cheerios uniform!

It is full of clips from the upcoming Madonna episode and you can even see guest star Jonathan Groff as the lead singer in Vocal Adrenaline! Exciting! :D

So what do you guys think? Did you see Rachel’s “Team Finn” t-shirt? Hilarious! xD

Note: This clip will expire in a week, but hopefully it will be on Fox’s YouTube account soon!

Kevin Mchale Behind the Scenes at the NO H8 Campaign Photo Shoot:

Kevin shoots for NOH8 Campaign -- Captured Live on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/noh8-campaign

“Glee’s” resident starlet Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) was voted “Most Likely To Stick With The Bare Necessities,” and sports a sexy and skimpy nude-colored ensemble paired with nude heels in the spread.

Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) – “Glee’s” heartthrob – nabs the “Most Likely To Succeed Without Really Trying” honor and is styled as “chic rebellion” with a mix of preppy gear and a leather biker jacket.

Check out all the pictures & video below, and click here for the full article.

Check out this behind the scenes look at the photo shoot with the Glee cast:

Check out this interview with Jennifer Lopez where she talks about her upcoming guest appearance on Glee. She says that she would be willing to give them her entire catalog to work with because she’s a huge fan of the show herself. Awesome! Do you think we’ll have a JLo episode somewhere in Season 2?

Cory Monteith was spotted by a Gleek at the HBC Lounge in Canada, just in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! If you ever spot a Glee cast member, send us your picture at Rob@GleeFan.com, along with your name and where you live (optional) so that we can give you credit. :)

Jenna and Kevin RUN!

Mark finds a crafty new way to get around set.

Chris on a scooter (now officially a Cheerio!)

Perhaps giving Mark a run for his money?

Or a scooter for his money?

…lol?

Lea: vehicle-less.

At least she has Jon Groff to keep her company. :)
