Perhaps you've gotten fatigued by the constant barrage of news about Lea Michele singing "Let It Go" for Glee over the past couple months, but hang in there, buddy: it's about to get good. Michele—who you may remember, if not from Glee, as the girl in your high school theater class who would never stop singing Rent
Want to hear the full version of Lea Michele singing "Let It Go" on Glee? Oh, you do? I was being kind of sarcastic, but—uh—here it is, I guess.
The final season of Glee premieres on Jan. 9 and there's now a promo video featuring Lea Michele belting "Let It Go," a choice that's apropos and annoying at the same time. According to this 20-second teaser, Rachel and Kurt are back at McKinley to revive the Glee Club, but Sue's gonna give them hell.
There were scant paparazzi pics from Hollywood Reporter's Women in Hollywood luncheon Wednesday, which hopefully reflects more on attendees' disinterest in step-and-repeats than the paps' disinterest in Women in Hollywood. But those that did go... did they ever wear some clothes!

Lea Michele posted this photo of her and Cory Monteith in happier times to commemorate his birthday and pay respect to the late actor. They look so happy in this picture that it's difficult not to feel sad about what might have been.
The cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did a Q&A for kids this week, and star Andrew Garfield got a healthy dose of side-eye from Emma Stone when he answered the question of how Spider-Man got his suit in a particularly smarmy way.
In 2009 Nancy Lekon was arrested for hitting and dragging a pedestrian for over half a mile in L.A.'s skid row district. At the time of her arrest she pled guilty by reason of insanity. Now, Johnny Depp has been served with papers and is being asked to testify in her trial.

Apparently, following his Florida DUI arrest, Justin Bieber was videotaped while, um, welcoming a urine sample into the world. A few classy media outlets caught wind of this fact and have now requested the video via Florida's public records law. And then a judge was like, "As long as you blur the genitals!" YOKEY…
Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel have just announced that they're ending their decade-long marriage, and the universe wails a resounding wail of sorrow. They were the best couple! Nooooooooo.

Aw man, not this human egg-fart again. Noted social butterfly and vulnerable-starlet-betrayer Sam Lutfi is back in the "news" again, having released a number of private texts that he claims are from a hysterical, emotionally dysfunctional Britney Spears.

The Glee episode addressing Cory Monteith's tragic and untimely death aired last night, and it handled the matter with dignity and grace. Notably, the cause of his character's death was never addressed — "I care more about how he lived," says Kurt at the start of the episode.

I know we're all sick of Miley Cyrus, but we need to talk about her album release party. Mostly because a photo of a "general view of the atmosphere" shows a dilapidated bear pinata dangling desolately between two large balloons that spell out "F U."

A Janis Joplin biopic that's been on the books for almost a decade now — and been considered as a vehicle for damn near every under-40 actress out there — is finally looking more concrete. Lee Daniels will direct as his follow-up to The Butler, and he's cast Amy Adams as the lead. She seems a bit ethereal for it, but…
