The season finale of "Glee" will get a small assist from "American Idol."

Matthew Morrison, who portrays glee club adviser Will Schuester on "Glee," will sing a song from his new album, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Morrison, who is releasing his self-titled debut on Tuesday, will sing “Still Got Tonight” – a song co-written by "Idol" season 8 winner Kris Allen.  Morrison told THR that after he asked "Glee" co-creator Ryan Murphy if he could sing the original tune, Murphy made some changes to the script.

Former “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell has made it official! He and Paula Abdul are reuniting. Simon just hired his fellow ex-“Idol” judge for his Fox show, “X Factor.”

The show, no doubt, would have been poised for success without her, but hiring Paula really steps it up. And I think it’s great for her. I know Paula really wanted to make it on her own (her CBS show “Live To Dance” tanked), but America loves her in this role and the chemistry with Simon, strange as it can be, is lightning in a bottle.

So what do you think? Are you glad Simon and Paula are back together? Post below.

Editor's Note: Piers Morgan talks with Chaz Bono about his transformation and what it was like growing up with superstar parents on “Piers Morgan Tonight” at 9 ET Thursday night on CNN.

Last year, Chaz Bono was legally granted a name and gender change, and now the 42-year-old is opening up on what he calls the "slow process" toward living his true identity and revealing it to the world.

Knowing that as the child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono he didn’t exactly have a ton of privacy, Chaz opted to be upfront about his transition from female to male, he told Oprah Winfrey on her show Monday. He chronicles his change in the book “Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man” and in a documentary set to premiere on OWN Tuesday night.

“When I was really little it was clear to me that I felt like a boy. In puberty, I felt like my body was betraying me,” Chaz told Winfrey. “I went from a straight up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman.”

Hey Paula!

With the announcement that Paula Abdul will be joining her old friend Simon Cowell at the judges table on "The X Factor," we have our fingers crossed that she'll serve up some more of the wacky that we became accustomed to on "American Idol" and her short-lived reality show on Bravo, "Hey Paula."

Here are just a few of her best-worst moments: FULL POST

One person who doesn't have Bieber Fever? Actress Marg Helgenberger, who says the teen idol behaved like a "brat" during his guest stint on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

During a recent radio interview with Europe 1, Helgenberger was asked what it was like working with Bieber, who played bad boy Jason McCann in two episodes of the popular CBS series.

“I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," she said. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table."

Sunday night's finale of "The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business" did what all great finales do: It kept us guessing as to who would win, and it provided several challenges that upped the ante from what we had seen before.

For one thing, producers made the most of the first hour of the finale in Brazil, where one team member had to learn a Carnival dance, complete with the requisite costume, of course.

Unfortunately, Zev's two left feet ended up dooming him and Justin, but not before two of the hairiest "Amazing Race" contestants ever took part in a Brazilian waxing(!), and unsuccessfully tried selling bikinis to women in bikinis. (The other three teams were smart enough to skip that challenge, which would obviously be tough and had a bit of a creepy factor thrown in: they had to actually change clothes in a tent on a public beach.)

The big news out of last night's episode was the emergence of the true Larsen Family Badass and hint: it’s not Stan.

There was also more strife within the Richmond campaign, and Linden missed another opportunity to flee the Evergreen state for the sunny vineyards of Sonoma – business as usual, in other words.

We opened with Stan and Bennet continuing on their Ride of No Return. Bennet swore that he didn’t hurt Rosie and attempted to connect with Stan by telling him that he would soon be a father himself. Stan appeared to have a change of heart and left Bennet standing alone in the rain unharmed.
