Gleeks have more news to celebrate today as Fox announced that the hit show, “Glee,” will hit the road starting May 18, according to MTV.

All of the main stars and the supporting cast will participate in “Glee! Live! In Concert!,” including stars Lea Michele (Rachel), Corey Monteith (Finn), and fan favorite Chris Colfer (Kurt).  The show will include many memorable moments that were seen on the show, including “Somebody to Love” and “Don’t Stop Believing.”

The possibility of a tour was first announced in October 2009. Show creator Ryan Murphy thought that creating a live version of the series would be a great way to show gratitude to its passionate fans.  Michele also added that this would be a great way to end the first season of the show.

Tickets can be purchased online from Ticketmaster starting March 12 for the Phoenix show and March 13 for the New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles shows.

Tweeps have music to their ears as they rejoice in this announcement:

Seth McFarlane of “Family Guy” hosted the Writers Guild of America Awards Saturday night in Los Angeles, according to EW.com.

War drama “The Hurt Locker” beat films such as “Avatar” and “The Hangover” to win in the original screenplay category.

“Up in the Air,” which was based on a book of the same name, won adapted screenplay.

Winners in the television category included “Mad Men” (drama series), “30 Rock” (comedy series) and “Modern Family” (new series).

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” writer Larry David received the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for lifetime achievement.

Twitter users commented on the awards:

1. 
   carmelovalone Oh those wga awards! I wished a few of my dark horse picks had won like, the informant, or district 9 to win. Oh well it all good writing!
2. 
   Jay_boner Hurt Locker & Up in the Air won WGA. Liked Hurt Locker but felt it was better directed than written. Basterds shouldve won.
3. 
   film114 I’m so proud of the Modern Family writers for their TWO WGA AWARDS! so well deserved! yay!
4. 
   OrpheusM WGA Awards: bleh. The Hurt Locker is not a great screenplay and Up in the Air is not a good movie.
5. 
   vdovault So glad Mad Men won a #WGA award
6. 
   bradmeltzer Very excited that Modern Family took home the love in WGA Awards. I pretend it was my vote that put them over the top.
7. 
   SarahLister Really not agreeing with ‘30 Rock’ winning over ‘Glee’ for Best Comedy at the WGA’s.

   akstanwyck #wga host seth macfarlane: “writers only have themselves to thank”
2.

In an effort to bring much needed relief to Haiti earthquake victims, actor George Clooney will host a telethon on January 22 that will simulcast on various networks, according to Entertainment Weekly. Though MTV was the original network to sign on, promising the telethon would run on all MTV outlets, other broadcast and cable networks have since joined. (For a full list, click here)

Haiti was struck with tragedy January 12, when a 7.0-magnitude earthquake ransacked the island. Forty-thousand people have died, according to reports, though authorities estimate 100,000 more bodies will be found.

The “Up in the Air” actor will lead the telethon’s broadcast in Los Angeles while Haitian-born Wyclef Jean has signed on to host from New York City and CNN’s Anderson Cooper will host from Haiti. More stars, as well as networks, are expected to be announced in the days ahead.

Since the earthquake first happened, Twitter has been an important communication tool, with both people in Haiti and throughout the world using it to spread information. Celebrities have used the service to rally donations, and now news of the telethon is also being passed along:

1. 
   RocRedCross $201,461 !! Thank You Rochester!! donations still coming in for the Rochester Red Cross Haiti Telethon http://bit.ly/5DyeMw
2. 
   HardyHaberman George Cloony to host a Haiti Telethon Jan 22 on all networks! Great news and hope it raises LOTS of cash for relief efforts.

7. 
   majeeda You TV watchers, there’s gonna be a telethon on 1/22. Tune in and donate! http://bit.ly/8rG86y #Haiti

Tweeps also shared their personal thoughts on the telethon plans:

1. 
   LauraShortPhoto I think instead of a telethon asking normal, everyday and possibly struggling people to donate to Haiti more celebs need to step up.
2. 
   MelAlexanderS Clooney always pulls through in a time of need > RT @ecoworld: George Clooney Organizing Haiti Earthquake Telethon w/ MTV- http://kl.am/6l9E
3. 
   JLanphear Smallville has officially been pushed back a week, due to next weeks television-wide Haiti Telethon. Good cause.
4. 
   MullenAR I hope the TV stations are donating the air time for the Haiti telethon, but my guess is no. Adverts should cover it, though.
5. 
   NewsGuyATL George Clooney threw this big telethon for the Katrina Victims and we later found out the money didnt go in the right places.
6. 
   ckinkaid MTV telethon 1 week out? Lame. They care about making celebs feel better about themselves, not helping Haiti. #Haiti

When Los Angeles designer Mike Mitchell, a huge Conan O’Brien fan, decided to express his opinions on the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno debacle through art, he had no idea how widespread his image would become, EW.com reports.  Mitchell’s poster shows his support of Conan O’ Brien with the slogan “I’m With Coco” written beneath a photoshopped image of “The Tonight Show” host.

The poster has gained immense popularity in the Twitterverse and other social networking sites.  According to Mitchell, even O’Brien himself has seen it.

Tweeps in favor of Conan O’Brien have changed their avatar to Mitchell’s original design.  Conan and Team Conan have been Trending Topics for several days on Twitter and even the phrase “I’m With CoCo” is catching on:

The Grammy nominees were announced Wednesday, December 2, in a televised event. The Los Angeles event was headlined by Nick Jonas and his new brother-less band The Administration, the Black Eyed Peas and Maxwell. According to MTV.com, “Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Eminem, Drake, the Kings of Leon and Green Day were just some of the artists who landed early Grammy nods Wednesday night.” The full list of Grammy nominees is posted on the 52nd Annual Awards’ official site.

MTV also reported that Beyoncé, Gaga and Swift lead the nominees with each landing “nominations for Album, Record and Song of the Year.

Beyoncé nabbed the most noms with 10, followed by Swift with eight; BEP, Maxwell and Kanye West with six; and David Guetta, Jay-Z and Lada Gaga with five.”

The popular Showtime series, “The L Word,”  which was written as a melodrama that  follows the lives and loves of several lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Los Angeles, is coming out of retirement and returning as a reality show, according to Variety.com.

“L Word” creator Ilene Chaiken and reality producers Magical Elves (”Top Chef”) will shoot nine episodes of the “The Real L Word,” chronicling the lives of six lesbians in L.A.

While many Tweeters were excited for the reprise of the show, some were hesitant and feared the show might have already run its course:

1. 
   Mayati @MarleeMatlin Chaiken KILLED the L word in season 6. Why bother watch her embarrasse lesbians in another show?
2.

Per CNN.com, the passing of world-wide pop star Michael Jackson just got more complicated with the revelation that–according to the Los Angeles County coroner–his death was a homicide, a result of a lethal combination of drugs.

Documents indicate that Michael Jackson’s official cause of death is “acute propofol intoxication” as a result of excessive amounts of the drug and others. Previously, Jackson’s death on June 25 at the age of 50 was said to be from cardiac arrest, although speculation that foul play was involved has remained strong in the months since.

People in the Twitterverse  are vocalizing the confusion and sadness surrounding Jackson’s untimely death and the coroner’s report:

1. 
   Nivram9 Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide, and that means someone — and we all know who — is in for the high jump.
