We've already bid adieu to football coach Tanaka, but now we'll be saying good-bye to Vocal Adrenaline's coach Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel).

Who will be replacing Menzel? Hunky actor Cheyenne Jackson, who starred in the Broadway production of Xanadu, has landed a major recurring role as the new VA coach. Although series creator Ryan Murphy stated that he would "love" to have Menzel return for Glee's sophomore season, it looks like she can only return in a storyline related to Rachel's mom.

I don't mind the replacement since he is majorly HOT. Watch Jackson take it off in front of Tony Award winner Nathan Lane backstage at Xanadu. Matt Morrison and Jackson could have a major ab-off. I die!!! Read more »
