First things first: If you don’t watch Glee, and you’re wondering why everyone has been spending the past 24 hours talking about dolphins being gay sharks, here’s why:

That chick Heather Morris who plays Brittany does the best TV ditz I’ve ever seen in my whole life.

When I talk about Glee, people are always like, “Dude, is that actually the actors singing?” The answer is yes. Many of the stars are cast from Broadway. Matthew Morrison (Mr. Shuester) starred in Hairspray, Lea Michele (Rachel Barry) played Young Cosette and later originated the role of Wendla in Spring Awakening (if you haven’t heard that soundtrack, GET IT OMG GET IT), Jenna Noelle Ushkowitz (Tina) did The King and I and Spring Awakening and Kristen Chenoweth (who guest starred as April Rhodes last season) is a Broadway goddess, but is perhaps best known for originating Glinda in Wicked.

But what I just put together is that this season’s latest musical vixen — Shelby Corcoran, the coach of the rival glee club and Shuester’s new love interest) — is Idina Menzel, who originated the role of Elphaba in Wicked (opposite Kristen Chenoweth). So, like, when I’m in my bedroom blasting “Defying Gravity,” that’s who I’m listening to. OMG I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SHE SINGS. But before she did Wicked, she — get this! — originated the role of Maureen in Rent, which is where she met total hottie Taye Diggs, who was playing Bennie in that production several years before the whole world fell in love with him on the big screen in How Stella Got Her Groove Back. AND NOW THEY ARE MARRIED AND HAVE A BABY. SO HOT AND AWESOME.

Is that waaaaaay more Broadway info than you wanted from a celebrity gossip blog so early in the morning? WELL I’M NOT SORRY.

But here’s a kind of funny mockery of the Glee in 60 Seconds promo anyway:

Hey, do you have the Spring Awakening soundtrack yet? GET IT.

Actors Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel are the proud new parents of a baby boy.  In a rare stroke of Hollywood kindness, they have given their son a completely and totally normal name — Walker.

This is the first child for this genetically blessed couple that met in the 1996 Broadway production of Rent.  Congrats to the happy couple!

Kate Walsh is one busy lady.

The newly engaged Walsh was spotted filming Private Practice, her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, with hottie co-star Taye Diggs in Malibu yesterday.

The two-hour “premiere” of Private Practice — during a special two-hour episode of Grey’s — did well for ABC, so it looks like they’re moving full speed ahead with the series.

I wonder if Ellen Pompeo is pissed. Ellen gets her own series, then gets engaged. Now Kate gets engaged and gets her own series.

If anything, Katherine Heigl must be fuming.
