Crazy. Sexy. Cool. Gleeks.

The cast of GLEE turned on the sexy for their new Fashion’s Night Out promo which premiered during tonight’s episode of GLEE.

The Fox stars strutted their stuff as they performed David Bowie’s “Fashion” in the new video aimed at spreading the word of the September 8th fashion event which brings together celebrities, style and shopping.

Chord Overstreet to Guest Star on THE MIDDLE

Chord Overstreet may have left GLEE, but it seems he can’t get away from television school: ABC and Warner Bros. have announced the actor will be appearing as a teacher in an upcoming episode of THE MIDDLE.

According to their press release, Overstreet is playing Ralph Wilkerson, “Brick Heck’s shiny new, young and idealistic fourth grade teacher, whose innovative and involved teaching methods run counter to Frankie and Mike’s ‘more relaxed’ parenting style.”

Overstreet is shooting his scenes this week and will appear in the September 28th episode of the comedy.

Will you tune in to THE MIDDLE to see Overstreet’s guest spot?

FRINGE Season 4 Teaser: ‘Where is Peter Bishop’ Part 4 (Featuring New Footage!)

Fox has steadily been releasing FRINGE season 4 promotional videos, but the new footage has either been scarce or you had to try really hard to find it. (Yay for brief flashes of scenes!)

But with just one month to go until the new season kicks off, we finally have an honest-to-goodness brand new scene to speculate over. And there is no way the dialogue one of our leads utters in this promo won’t stir up a ton of debate.

Take a look at FRINGE’s “Where is Peter Bishop” part 4!

Watch Jimmy Fallon Predict His Upcoming SNL Hosting Duties

Next time you make a crazy prediction about where your career will end up, make sure you have it on tape.

A few years back when Jimmy Fallon was a cast member on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, he participated in Alec Baldwin’s opening monologue as the “Ghost of Christmas Future” to talk about his future experience as a first-time host of SNL in December 2011. Now, cut to 2011 and Fallon actually is booked to be a first-time host of SNL in December 2011. Completely eerie, right?

Take a look at the opening monologue to see what Fallon predicted he’d be doing as SNL host in ’11!

CASTLE Nabs Kristin Lehman For Guest Spot

Castle may have confessed his love to Beckett at the end of the third season finale of CASTLE, but that doesn’t mean the duo is heading for a happily ever after right away.

When I talked with CASTLE executive producer Laurie Zaks recently, I asked whether there would be any more significant others coming in to play this season. (As fans no doubt recall, last season Castle was involved with his ex-wife Gina for a bit and Beckett spent most of the season with Josh and may still be dating him.) For those who were hoping the answer would be a resounding “no,” well…things aren’t entirely going in that direction.

WAREHOUSE 13 Recap: ‘Past Imperfect’

Sometimes I find it hard to fairly analyze an episode of WAREHOUSE 13. It appeals to a wide audience, and I’m not a sci-fi expert or anything like that, so I realize there might be elements to an episode like “Past Imperfect” that I just don’t “get.” But even beyond all of that, this episode really seemed to fall flat. Thoughts from you? More on this later.

The episode begins at Union Station in Denver where Pete and Myka are attempting to snag a pick axe. While Pete is doing the dirty work, Myka is his back-up. But she gets distracted when she sees Leo — the man responsible for killing her former partner, Sam — at that exact location. You’ll remember that Sam was also her love interest (even though he was married at the time) and she felt responsible for his death. He also appeared to Myka a few times in visions earlier in the series. While Myka is freaking out, Pete is having a reaction to the artifact — gray smoke/dust is escaping from his throat, almost like a tracheal implant.

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, August 23, 2011

It’s a relatively quiet Tuesday TV lineup tonight. Check it out below and let us know what you’ll be watching!

Pretty Little Liars | 8pm on ABC Family
“I Must Confess”
After being pushed around, threatened and more by “A,” Emily is at a breaking point and her friends know that something drastic has to be done to save her. The girls turn to the only person they have come to trust and know that she can’t let their secrets out – Dr. Anne Sullivan. Finally being able to reveal the torment that “A” has put them through to someone outside of the tight-knit group gives the girls a sense of relief and Emily a new sense of courage. But with the cat being out of the bag, has a weight really been lifted off their shoulders, or could it possibly have just provoked a beast? And now that Dr. Sullivan is aware of “A” and what the girls have been put through, could she be next on “A’s” target list? Meanwhile, Hanna’s grandmother comes to town to stir up trouble for Tom’s rehearsal dinner.

BACHELOR PAD 2: Most Dramatic Rose Ceremony Ever?

While watching BACHELOR PAD 2 Monday night, it dawned on me how few of these contestants I actually like.

Don’t get me wrong, Michael and Holly are absolutely adorable and I do wish those two crazy kids would work their problems out. But aside from them and Michelle (trust me, I’m alarmed she’s so sane, too), there is no one else that I really hope wins the $250,000. Several of them, I’m rather hoping are banished from my television screens forever.

So who annoyed me the most?

CASTLE’s Penny Johnson Jerald Teases Her Role as the New Captain

Given how CASTLE ended this year — Captain Montgomery was killed and Beckett was shot at his funeral — it’s no surprise that when season 4 kicks off, a new captain will be brought in and things might not exactly go as smoothly as they did before.

To try and get scoop on what’s going down, Give Me My Remote talked with Penny Johnson Jerald (Captain Gates) about her new job, how Captain Gates fits in with the show and more…
