The Aussielo Files of Entertainment Weekly today reveals the identity of the third Gleek addition debuting in Season 2.  The Files reported earlier in the month that the first new character is an "Eve Harrington-esque rival for Rachel," while the second is a "gay jock-slash-boyfriend for Kurt."

Creator Ryan Murphy tells the site of the final Gleek: 
"The third role is an R&B-singing teen...A male Mercedes!"

As for a Merceded/newbie duet, Murphy only replied: "Perhaps."

As previously reported, GLEE returns to FOX on April 13 at 9pm on Tuesdays, and while the show will be off the air for the summer, the GLEE cast is going live on tour by June.  The first tour cities to be confirmed are Orlando, New York, LA, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, and Portland.

Matthew Morrison will most likely not be joining the crew on tour, as it is expected that he will begin work on his solo album.  Tickmaster and Live Nation will be the tour sponsors.  Tickets are allegedly to be between $30 and $50, though, of course, that could change based on demand.

Recent winner of the People's Choice Award for Best New Comedy and Golden Globe winner for Best Television Series Comedy or Musical, GLEE, the new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

The show, which also garnered Golden Globe recognition, stars Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Jessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch, Jayma Mays, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.

Due to the success of the first installment of the show, which aired last on December 9, FOX has already ordered a second season of the show and announced that it will soon be launching a nationwide search to cast three new roles, which will be documented on the network in the multi-part special. These newest additions will make their debut on the second season premiere.
GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.
