“Mattress” sneak peeks and big news for Glee co-creator

Happy Glee day, all! I’ve got a few goodies for you in advance of tonight’s episode, so let’s get right to them, shall we?:

• Two sneak peek clips from “Mattress” are roaming the internet, and they’re conveniently embedded below for your viewing pleasure! First we’ve got Kurt’s explaining a plan to save the Gleeks from yearbook embarrassment, and secondly we’ve got a cute rendition of Lily Allen’s “Smile” from Rachel and Finn.

• I promised you full song previews, and although they took a bit longer than expected to track down, here they are on the New York Post. I think right now I’m most partial to the Charlie Chaplin version of “Smile,” but as we all know, sometimes seeing the video attached to the song can make all the difference!

• And in other news, Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk has signed a seven-figure, multi-year deal with FOX. He will continue working on Glee, as well as develop new FOX projects on the side. Congrats, Brad!

Hope you all enjoy tonight’s episode! As the lead-up to the fall finale, it’s sure to be a big one! See you back here tomorrow morning for the recap!
