Oh, joy. Glee, even. Fox's rousing, wonderful new musical series is now officially slated for a September 9th return. Plus there's been a new musical number clip released, and it is fabulous. "Bust Ya Windows" fabulous. Here it is:

Meet Kenya Mejia, this year's valedictorian at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles. If her remarks at last month's graduation ceremony strike you as a bit forced, there's a good reason for that. Mejia may be the first high school student in history to insert a product placement into a graduation speech, a plug for the romantic comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper for which Twentieth Century Fox paid her $1,800.

Fox anchor and car chase aficionado Shepard Smith is probably the best anchor on TV right now, both for pure entertainment value and for his genuinely non-partisan commitment to telling the truth as he sees it. Also he hates Boston.

As we plod through The Summer People Stopped Watching Network TV, said networks are making a fuss about Barack Obama's insistence on holding press conferences because it temporarily prevents them from profiting from their endlessly looped last-gasp humiliation-based reality shows.

Peters, who never saw combat, knows from his rich experience writing foreign policy fanfic that this American soldier is a liar and a deserter. Fox News just openly hates America, and the troops, and they should all be charged with treason.

A grassroots rebellion has seized Twitter in an effort to save Paula's slot on the Idol's judges panel. Will the Twitterverse switch their avatars from a Iran-protest green to a sparkly rainbows for Paula?

The Fox crew are plain goin' nuts about how Obama has appointed many people whom the media have dubbed "Czars." They will not shut about about the Czars! You know who else hated Czars, guys? How soon we forget!

Body-displaying sex symbol Jillian Barberie Reynolds still has a job as a, heh, "weather and lifestyle anchor" on Fox TV in L.A., while actual journalists are getting laid off. How long will we allow sexy ladies to defile our televisions?

What's that? A car chase, in Houston? Studio B With Shep Smith was on the case! It is, as always, delightful. Though it wasn't as exciting as last week's, you wouldn't know it from listening to Shep.

As we know, Roger Friedman—the writer who got fired by Fox for reviewing an illegally leaked online version of the film Wolverine but claimed it was really a crazy Scientology conspiracy—is suing. The amount? $5.18 million.

Shepard Smith knows that if there is a helicopter filming a car chase somewhere in the US, it is his responsibility as a journalist to immediately go live to that car chase, and narrate it, excitedly.

Remember when Bill O'Reilly and Barney Frank almost killed each other on national television? It was, without question, one of the greatest moments in world history, if only because it inspired this Lil' O'Reilly skit. Tonight they met again.

So a live, rambling, out-of-left-field admission of adultery by a sitting US Governor is big news, and it is just the sort of thing our 24-hour news networks should love. Except Fox, which cut the feed.

Shep Smith, who's been doing his "awesomest bro on Fox" thing for years now, is finally getting some attention from the elite liberal media! The Times reports that he is not crazy, and therefore hated by his audience. Really?

Wow: Roger Friedman's accusing prominent Church of Scientology members Tom Cruise and Kelly Preston of conspiring against him, and he's citing this as the reason he was fired from his job as a showbiz columnist in a lawsuit against Fox.

SHOCK: in yesterday's Fox News Poll, respondents were asked whether or not they believed that Barack Obama was still "sneaking cigarettes at the White House"! Are you outraged? Think Progress commenters are!

Oh, right, because he's a wonderful entertainer. But he also has a brain, and a conscience, and Shepard Smith has noticed that the emailers have become... unhinged, lately.

Alaska Dictator Sarah Palin may or may not attend a congressional fundraising dinner in DC tonight (she is upset that she won't be allowed to speak), but she will def be seen chatting with Hannity on Fox this evening.
