Glee isn't going anywhere!

Not that it comes as a huge shock, but FOX announced this morning that Glee has been given an early pick-up for its second season.

Even better, they're doing a nationwide casting call for three new characters, which will air as a multi-part special leading up to the second season premiere next fall.

And, holy blonde-on-blonde goodness...Whats this about Olivia Newton-John and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch)?

Sources confirm what Entertainment Tonight broke, that Olivia will guest star on the "back nine" (remaining episodes) of Glee when the series returns in late spring. She'll be signing a duet with Jane Lynch which is none other than "Let's Get Physical," and you better believe Olivia will be rocking a hot sweatsuit a la Jane Lynch while they do so!

Should be awesome, right?

As for those three roles they're casting for season two of Glee, producers are looking for actors between the ages of 16 and 26, and all hopefuls will be able to submit auditions online. You can find info and updates at www.fox.com/glee.

No word yet on whether Paula Abdul is judging. (I kid. Can you imagine?)
