From EW's 'Ausiello Files' come even more GLEE spoilers, including details on the season finale episode and the upcoming guest stints which include Neil Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenoweth.

Entertainment Weekly intern Vlada Gelman reports from PalyeFest '10 where the press was treated to a special screening of the April 13 episode entitled "Hello". She writes, "The audience was treated to a screening of the April 13 episode, "Hello," which finds Sue back at work and back to terrorizing Will. She charges Brittany and Santana with seducing Finn, who's now sort of dating Rachel even though he isn't quite over Quinn. Meanwhile, Rachel catches the eye of Vocal Adrenaline's lead singer Jesse St. James, played by Lea Michele's former Spring Awakening costar Jonathan Groff. Will and Emma continue to be adorable as they try to start dating, but a couple of things stand in their way, including Vocal Adrenaline's coach (Idina Menzel) and an admission from Emma."

As for which set list is on stand-by for "Hello", "The episode features several songs with the word "Hello" in them after Will tasks the New Directions kids with finding a new take on it. Finn channels his "inner rock star" with The Doors' "Hello, I Love You." Rachel, mad at Finn, focuses on the first syllable with All American Rejects' "Gives You Hell," but then makes sweet with Groff in a duet of Lionel Richie's "Hello." Groff and the Vocal Adrenaline team also tackle AC/DC's "Highway to Hell." Other songs featured in the episode include Neil Diamond's "Hello Again" and The Beatles' "Hello Goodbye."

Of Neil Patrick Harris' upcoming guest sting, EW reveals that Neil Patrick Harris, who will play Morrison's high school rival "showed up for his first day of work Monday after opening the Oscars the previous night. He and Morrison will sing two duets, including one you already know about (Aerosmith's "Dream On") and one you don't (a Billy Joel number). Kristin Chenoweth also reprises her role as April Rhodes in the third episode back."

Also, according to producer Ryan Murphy, it appears that more concert dates will be added to GLEE live to accommodate fans. Most of the dates sold out in mere seconds.

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.

GLEE returns to FOX from hiatus on April 13, 2010.
