Oh Glee, we barely knew ya. Like anyone whose heart is not made of stone, we fell hard last year for Fox's breakout musical-comedy series, and we were not embarrassed to admit it. The first 13 episodes of Glee were filled with quirky humor, interesting stories and awesome musical numbers that ranged from Jazmine Sullivan to Van Halen. But last spring, when the show returned with much anticipation from its winter hiatus, we were left slightly disappointed, as the series seemed to be on a self-congratulating high. We held on, though, because we knew what the show was before and what it could be in the future. Unfortunately, four episodes into the second season, we are finally ready to pull the emergency button and eject from this bandwagon faster than you can say "Mr. Shue."

September brings with it a whole host of fall anticipations and previews in areas across the arts and entertainment spectrum - movies, television shows, fashion, books and more. The speculation is high: What will be this season's greatest hits? Will new seasons of Vampire Diaries, Glee or Grey's Anatomy be hits or flops? What about the latest pilots, like CW's Nikita, about a young woman forced to become an assassin for a secret branch of the government, or Hawaii Five-O, CBS's latest crime drama and a reboot of a show of the same name which aired during the 1970s? How about hotly anticipated films like the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Lindsay Lohan's comeback in this weekend's flick Machete or films made for the Academy Awards like Conviction, starring two-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank? In books, Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay started off the fall season, while National Book Award-winner Jonathan Franzen's Freedom has already caused a stir in the literary world.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you have heard about Twitter, the 140-character microblogging platform that exploded onto the social networking scene. Twitter's popularity is partly a result of the implicit endorsement of every single celebrity out there. I have found that basically everyone has an account, from Olympians Michael Phelps and Shaun White to writers Chuck Palahniuk and Margaret Atwood, Britney Spears to ... President Obama?

Pardon the pun, but does anyone else watching this season of LOST feel completely lost? That may seem like a pointless critique now that the show is in the middle of its final season, but we're about halfway through, and things aren't becoming any clearer. The show's signature always has been its ability to keep viewers intrigued even as it avoids delivering answers to the many big questions it loves to ask. But with only a dozen or so episodes remaining in the series' entire run, I think it's fair to ask: Where in the world is this all going?

"It's for charity!" That's the best excuse someone could come up with for the recently released new version of "We Are the World," the most famous charity single of all time. Originally written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones in 1985, featuring a wide of array of the most prolific people in music at the time, the song still stands as the best of its kind today. Perhaps it makes sense, then - at least on paper - to want to recapture the magic 25 years later in the name of helping the recently devastated nation of Haiti. If you watched the Olympics opening ceremony, you saw this idea come to fruition as some of the biggest names - and more frequently, the mediocre names - in today's music world came together to record a new version of the classic song.
