This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly confirms the news that Tony-winner Kristin Chenoweth, who made a guest appearance on the fourth episode of the FOX series GLEE, in which she played April Rhodes, a boozy former classmate of Will's (Matthew Morrison), who has an eye for really young men, will return to the show during the show's final nine episodes of the season. 

Show creator Ryan Murphy told the magazine as well that he's considering approaching American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert about making a guest appearance on the series as well. 

Jonathan Groff will be joining Fox's GLEE for five or six episodes playing the lead male singer of Vocal Adrenaline, the glee group already seen performing "Rehab" and "Mercy."

Groff will star alongside his Spring Awakening co-star Lea Michele playing what series co-creator Ryan Murphy describes as "He is a male diva...a miva."

On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Columbia Records and Twentieth Century Fox Television will release "Glee: The Music, Volume 1," the first in a series of soundtracks that feature music heard in the first season of the critically acclaimed series on FOX.

"Glee: The Music, Volume 1" will feature spectacular renditions of several chart-topping hits, including including Queen's "Somebody to Love" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline."

GLEE, the genre-defying new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential. The critically acclaimed series stars Dianna AgronChris ColferJessalyn GilsigJane LynchJayma MaysKevin McHaleLea MicheleCory MonteithMatthew MorrisonAmber Riley and Mark Salling.
