Glee, Ricky Martin
Olé, olé olé! The hormones of McKinley High's students are in overdrive as Ricky Martin makes his much-hyped guest appearance as a Spanish teacher on the February 7 episode of Glee, which may be the naughtiest episode yet. Among the zingers that dropped my jaw:

Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time: Two TV rivals wind up with similar, competing shows (think ER vs. Chicago Hope). But ABC and The CW have gone a step further this winter, ordering two different pilots titled Beauty and the Beast. And should both projects go to series, neither side is going to want to give that title up — setting the stage for what could be a beastly showdown.
