Tonight, the third season finale of “Glee” will air, shutting the door on the New Directions as we’ve known them since season one and ushering in a new era of “Glee.” That new era, apparently, will see the choral dramedy morph into a show within a show, one partially set in New York so we can still find out what Kurt, Rachel and Finn are up to and one still focused on the events at Lima, Ohio’s McKinley High, where, presumably, we will still be able to follow the nonsensical story arcs that involve Sue Sylvester.

(Admittedly, that last one is not the flashiest story.)

That’s a comment from Chris Rock in a fascinating new GQ profile of neo-soul singer D’Angelo, who is in the midst of mounting a comeback after more than a decade away from the spotlight.

“Celebrate,” which premiered on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, is a duet from the film “Sparkle,” a remake of the 1976 movie musical. Houston sings the jubilant up-tempo tune, produced by R.Kelly, with her onscreen daughter Jordin Sparks.

A teaser for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master” — a drama from the director of “There Will Be Blood” that purportedly examines the evolution of a Scientology-esque organization — was unveiled online today.

Even though the Bee Gees singer-songwriter had awakened from a coma last month, his doctors warned that advanced colorectal cancer and other health concerns remained a significant challenge.

The first teaser trailer for Sam Mendes’s “Skyfall,” the James Bond film that will feature 007 drinking Heineken, is here.

Returning as Bond, James Bond, Daniel Craig plays a word association game with a bearded psychologist at the beginning of the trailer. To “country,” he replies “England.” To “murder,” “employment.”

In the next two weeks, we should expect battles, battles and more battles between the remaining king wannabes for the Iron Throne.

I’d like to spend this week’s “Mad Men” recap focusing on the fact that Lane Pryce pretty much destroyed the agency by creating the false impression that Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce has a cash surplus. But I can’t because —
