The upcoming romantic comedy, What to Expect When You´re Expecting (based on the popular book with the same name) has unveiled its first trailer.
With a stellar cast that includes Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, or Chace Crawford, the romantic comedy deals with the challenges and responsibilities that comes with pregnancy.
What to Expect When You´re Expecting will be out on May 2012.
According to Glee stars Matthew Morrison and Dot Jones, the scripts for the Fox hit comedy are often being written as they go as a consequence of falling behind schedule.
The actors revealed to TV Addict that this is partly because the show is currently being written by 3 people - Brad Falchuk, Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy - who are working against time.
"They're writing as we go and working their butts off," Jones explains. "Some days they'd only finish three of the six acts, so when we'd get your script two days before we start working and you weren't anywhere in there, you'd know you're going to be in the episode, you'll just get your lines some time during the eight days we shoot a show."
Star Matthew Morrison explains how this same thing happened during the season finale:
"Literally, the end of the season, the season finale we just shot, they were handing us script pages like, 'Say this right here.' The show is such an epic thing to film, we got so backed up."
On a personal note we must add that the show´s writing has really gone downhill this season. Hire more writers already!
Could this discipline of work have something to do with that?
When listening to Matthew Morrison´s debut album, we cannot help but think that it should come with a disclaimer sticker that reads: "This isn´t your regular Glee compilation record".
Morrison was clearly seeking for a departure in sound from the show that made him hugely popular, and the result is an album that reflects the maturity of a performer who is finally getting the chance to put his music out there. Sure it has its flaws and it may not be perfect, but the guy has some undeniable talent.
Here is a track by track overview of the album:
Summer Rain: The album´s first single is an easy jam that could have easily been sung by Jason Mraz. Enjoyable song but lacks the strength expected for an album opener. 7/10
Still Got Tonight: A pop-rock song with a powerful chorus that hits all the right notes. Should have been the first single. 8/10
Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot (Feat. Sting): An uneccessary cover of the 1996 hit song by Sting. Both voices blend well and Morrison seems comfortable singing with one of his idols. 6/10
My Name: The first ballad off the album fails to engage us in the emotion conveyed through the lyrics. The song prepares us for a climatic moment that never arrives. 3/10
Hey: This melodic pop tune is the best track on the album. It delivers a positive feeling and an upbeat infectious chorus. The rest of the album could use more of this, it definitely has single potential 8.5/10
Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Feat. Gwyneth Paltrow): We´ve all heard this one by now. Another cover, only this one stands out thanks to the vocals provided by Gwyneth. 7/10
Don´t Stop Dancing: This track seems to fall out of place when compared with the rest of the album. It´s not bad... but not necessarily good either. 5/10
It Don´t Matter To The Sun: Another slow jam, only this time it does a slightly better job when appealing to the listener´s attention. 5/10
Mona Lisa´s And Mad Hatters (Feat. Elton John): How many covers can be featured on an original album? Enough already! Elton John lends his voice and revisits one of his classic hits. 6.5/10
It´s Over: If you end an album with a ballad, you better make it powerful. Sadly, this isn´t the case. This Broadway influenced song is, however, the most heartfelt one included on Morrison´s debut album. 6/10

Matthew Morrison´s first solo record is out on May 10. Will you be getting a copy?
Matthew Morrison has released Somewhere Over The Rainbow, a cover song from The Wizard Of Oz which will be included his forthcoming album.
Morrison already sung an early solo version of the song on the first season of Glee and chose to sing it for his audition for the show back in the day as well.
For the track, Morrison has teamed up with fellow Glee co-star Gwyneth Paltrow who has ventured into the musical scene with great success just recently.
Gwyneth Paltrow has dismissed recent rumours that suggested she had signed a record deal with Atlantic Records to release an album.
The actress told The Hollywood Reporter:
"The truth is, I really would love to make a record, but I don't know exactly how you do that so it's not cheesy. I would love to do it. I am having fun with it though, even if it's kind of giving me a mid-life crisis because I don't know who I am anymore."
Paltrow has tapped into her musical side recently receiving high praise for her movie Country Strong and her guest appearances on Glee.
Moreover, it has been confirmed that she will record a duet with Glee´s Matthew Morrison for his upcoming debut album.
It is expected for Paltrow to return to Glee in the future, which is something she looks forward to:
"I'm definitely done for this year but, to be honest, I think it's the best job I've ever had. I'm sure I'll go back there at some point."
Do you believe Gwyneth Paltrow has the potential to become a recording artist?
We all knew the time would come when the stars of Fox hit show Glee would branch into their solo projects. Star Matthew Morrison is preparing to launch his debut solo album which will be in stores February 2011 and he describes as "something very special".
