GLEE’s Kevin McHale “Artie” Wants Ricky Martin to Do a Spanish Song!

Cue those music notes, Gleeks!

Kevin McHale, who plays the nerdy Artie in the Glee club, stopped by the Trevor Live project to chat anti-bullying, Glee, and, of course, this rumored new hot Spanish teacher in McKinley High!

If you haven’t heard, pop singer Ricky Martin is in talks to join Glee in a guest episode airing late January!

“Apparently, it’s the word on the street!” Kevin told me exclusively about Ricky’s rumored appearance.

So which song does he think Ricky should cover?

“Maybe it’s cliché or whatever but we’ve never done any Spanish songs on the show. I think that’d be nice to do a Spanish song, “ Kevin dished.

Kevin also talked about the best part of being on Glee.

“We are a family that’s why it’s so fun. We can have long days but at the end of the day, not just the cast but the crew, we’re so close. We love everybody and it’s so fun to make everybody laugh and sing and dance all day with each other.”

British Media Regulator to Investigate Jeremy Clarkson’s TV Rant

Ofcom, the U.K. broadcasting regulator, is investigating the "Top Gear" star’s tirade against striking public service workers.

British media regulator Ofcom is launching an investigation into Jeremy Clarkson’s onscreen tirade against striking public service workers, in which the controversial presenter said they should be taken out and “executed in front of their families.”

Ofcom, has had 763 complaints about the presenter’s appearance on the BBC’s The One Show, in addition to more than 32,000 complaints received by the BBC.

“Ofcom has taken the decision to investigate comments made by Jeremy Clarkson on BBC1’s The One Show. We will make the outcome of the investigation known in due course,” Ofcom said.

Thus far the BBC has issued an on-screen apology after the interview, and compelled its star presenter to also apologize.

But BBC bosses have also defended Clarkson, with the BBC director general Mark Thompson telling a Parliamentary committee last week that Clarkson was not to blame and that the comments were “entirely in jest and not to be taken seriously.”

MTV Tosses 'Choose or Lose' Catchphrase for Election Coverage

MTV Tosses 'Choose or Lose' Catchphrase for Election Coverage

The cable network adopts a new slogan, "Power of 12," in an effort to inspire the cynical youth voting bloc.

MTV is losing its "Choose or Lose" catchphrase for election coverage.

The cable network has replaced its campaign slogan of almost 20 years for a new one -- "Power of 12" --  which it hopes will energize today's disillusioned youth to vote in the upcoming presidential election, the New York Times reports. The "12" signifies the election year, and the "Power" suggests that young people within the 18-to-29-year-old demo have much influence over the 2012 race -- if they take action, that is.

According to the Times, MTV's research revealed that even though youth showed up in droves to champion President Barack Obama last election, they remained cynical about the electoral process.

“They were so passionate,” said MTV president Stephen K. Friedman. "And then they hit this wall of the economy.” He added of the name-switch: "Voting is one step in the process -- just one step. The question for this generation is, they’ve got this power, will they exert it?”

MTV launched "Choose or Lose" in 1992, introducing voter-registration programs and such interactive events as a town hall meeting with then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton (wherein he declared, "I didn't inhale"). With "Power of 12," the election fervor continues with an MTV News documentary featuring 25-year-old filmmaker Andrew Jenks encountering Republican candidates; long-time MTV News Correspondent, Sway Calloway, will join Jenks on the trail. The network will also air a special, called "When I Was 22," about the candidates at that age. Also on tap: a voter-registration site designed to engage youth with a fantasy football-style election game, subbing in politicians for athletes.
