Thanks to a new promo video on YouTube last week and a bunch of new cast photos that popped up on Facebook last night, we're jazzed for the new Glee episodes in April.

In the 46 second clip, you'll hear Rachel belting out "Like A Prayer" from the Madonna episode, Sue insulting Will and then recruiting Mercedes and Kurt for the Cheerios, and even Rachel's new guy challenging Finn to a "sing off in the parking lot."

Rachel's new love isn't as adorable as you're probably thinking, though. In fact, Sue Sylvester is manipulating Rachel's feeling as part of her scheme to bring down the glee club. Jane Lynch says her character, "got Kurt and Mercedes already, and I'm trying to split up Rachel and Finn by making Rachel fall in love with somebody from Vocal Adrenaline. Hopefully when he breaks up with her, it will break her heart and it will ruin the club because they can't win without Rachel."

Check out 20+ brand new Glee pics and the trailer below.

Months ago we reported on the news that Broadway legend Idina Menzel would be guest-starring on Glee and pointed out her strange resemblance to Lea Michele. How could you miss it?

According to the New York Daily News, an upcoming storyline may involve Idina playing Rachel's biological mom. We already knew Idina would be the director of Vocal Adrenaline, McKinley High's biggest show choir competition, but now a secret source says, "It's no accident that Idina and Lea look and sound alike. The story arc could have Idina's character putting Lea up for adoption because she wanted to make it big in singing, then deciding she wants to get to know her daughter."

What drama! How do you think Rachel will react to finding her mom? Only time will tell, but Lea was definitely psyched to have Idina join the cast. On January 21, she tweeted, "On set with the lovely Idina Menzel:) So happy she is on our show!"

New episodes of Glee are less than two months away and Gleeks everywhere are getting restless. Thankfully, a new promo for the show has arrived, and it's packed with hints about what's in store.

After their big sectionals win, Rachel, Kurt and Mercedes have renewed confidence. "We are gonna rule this school!" Rachel exclaims. But two seconds later, all three of the New Directions singers get a cold slushie to the face.

We also catch a glimpse of Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsbury sharing another kiss, but this time Mrs. Schue walks in on the new lovebirds. Well, either that or the promo has some sneaky editing in it. Oh yeah, there's also a shot of Rachel wearing a 'Team Finn' t-shirt at a McKinley High basketball game.

Was February 14th a let down? We can't wait until April 14th because that means a new episode of Glee will have finally premiered. In the meantime, we've got all the love deets on who's getting kissed and who will be dissed in the second half of the show's season.

We were expecting Rachel/Finn and Quinn/Puck pairings in the new episodes. But Glee's creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy told EW, "I was really surprised [viewers responded so favorably to Rachel and Puck together]. I thought people would find her to be far too irritating for him...So we just finished [writing] a special episode where they are together, and they have two numbers together. It's episode 4, 'Bad Reputation.'"

Meanwhile, Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsbury finally kissed, but things aren't going to be hot and heavy between the two teachers right away. Ryan spills, "We have a lot of conversations about, 'When should they kiss again?"

On Glee, Lea Michele plays Rachel Berry, a super confident teen who shrugs off teasing and name calling, but in real life she didn't always feel so self-assured.

When talking about her teenage years, Lea tells Seventeen magazine, "I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy."

Lea credits her mom for helping her gain such wisdom. She says her mother was her idol when she was a teen, and she still is today. One thing that has changed over the years is Lea's fashion taste. When she was 17, Lea says she wore lots and lots of Juicy Couture. "Now, no Juicy Couture," she says.

So, what advice does Lea pass down to teens in high school now? "I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future." We agree!

If you Google "Are Cory Monteith and Lea Michele dating?" over 750,000 results pop up.

That's because their chemistry is so completely obvious.

But sadly, the two stars of Glee who we're crossing our fingers will get together on the show aren't making out in real life -- despite recent rumors. Cory recently confessed to People magazine that their flirting ends the moment the director ends the scene.

"We're great friends," he opens up. "We've become really close over the show, but we're just friends. We're not dating."

Bummer. Cory also reveals to People that for them to play the roles of co-stars and boyfriend/girlfriend at the same time would be "really difficult. That seems like it would be tricky."

So if they're not dating in real life, will Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry start regularly kissing in the hallways of McKinley High soon? Let's hope so.
