Jay-Z may have found his Super Bowl headliner in the mirror. Glee is returning, with Lea Michele reportedly back as Rachel Berry and Heather Morris confirming her return as Brittany. And The Golden Bachelor’s Mel Owens and Peg Munson have called it quits.

I’m also covering Jacob Elordi’s role narrating Eric Dane’s memoir, remembering country legend John Anderson, and catching up on the Jane the Virgin cast reunion and NBC’s Coach reboot in development with Ty Burrell.

Plus: Alexander Skarsgård’s wonderfully ridiculous Wicker wardrobe, Kate and Charlotte’s earlier tube outing, and Kara Bosworth’s difficult update on her mother Jeana Keough’s recovery.

We finish with two DWTS follow-ups: Julia Stiles checked with Michelle Williams before honoring Heath Ledger, while Gleb Savchenko responds to the backlash over his criticism of Alan Bersten.
