'Glee' return of Charice will be this April 19 | She will sing 'All By Myself'

Glee Season 2 is back this April 19 (April 20 in Manila) after a 1-month break and the show's comeback episode also marks the return of Pinoy pride Charice.

The new episode, which is already the Glee Season 2's 17th episode, is entitled "A Night of Neglect" and Charice will be reprising her role as Sunshine Corazon, who was already part of Glee Season 2 debut last September.

Charice will be singing the Eric Carmen/Celine Dion hit "All By Myself". Here's a teaser video of her performance:

Also set to return on Glee Season 2's "A Night of Neglect" episode is Gwyneth Paltrow as Miss Holly Holiday.

Her return on Glee is actually one of the many great things happening for Charice this month onwards.

On April 18, her single "Before It Explodes" which is written by Bruno Mars will be released on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Another song entitled "Louder" will be released in May, then one more, "Waiting Outside the Lines", a song by Youtube sensation Greyson Chance which features Charice.

Charice is also filming the Hollywood movie "Here Comes the Boom", where she portrays the role of student of Music. The movie is topbilled by Salma Hayek, Kevin James and Henry Winkler.

Bruno Mars 'Live in Cebu' concert videos, Manila is next!

Bruno Mars is now here in the Philippines, but I'm so disappointed that there was no news coverage of his arrival at the airport.

Only a plain report that Bruno Mars has arrived already on Philippine shores can be seen on TV news reports with no footage of his arrival.

Bruno Mars already staged his 'Live in Cebu' concert last night, April 7, and tonight, April 8, it's Manila's turn to see him performing live at the Araneta Coliseum.

Check out videos of Bruno Mars performing at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu last night...

"Grenade" Performance


"Billionaire" Performance (the crowd really went so wild)


"Just The Way You Are" Performance (Bruno Mars proclaimed he is happy and proud to be a Filipino.)

Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are" falls to #2 on MYX Hit Chart

David Archuleta has reclaimed the top spot on the latest Myx Hit Chart.

His song "Something 'Bout Love" dropped to #2 last week but for this week, it's back on top causing "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars to fall on the runner-up position.

All I thought Justin Bieber's "Love Me" was a potential #1 song, but I was wrong. From #3 last week, it fell two notches down this week, which isn't a good sign of a potential chart-ruler.

Only 6 of the Top 20 songs on MYX Hit Chart for the period October 17 to 22, 2010 are from local artists which isn't something to be happy about.

1 Something 'Bout Love - David Archuleta
2 Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
3 Pakiusap Lang - Parokya Ni Edgar
4 Lakad - Sandwich
5 Love Me - Justin Bieber
6 Mine - Taylor Swift
7 Jeepney
Lovestory - Yeng Constantino
8 Kung Wala Ka - Nikki Gil
9 I Remember The Girl - Christian Bautista
10 2012 - Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj
11 A Year Without Rain - Selena Gomez and the Scene
12 Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
13 Love the Way You Lie - Eminem feat. Rihanna
14 Disney - Tanya Markova
15 Heartbeat - Enrique Iglesias & Nicole Scherzinger
16 Dynamite - Taio Cruz
17 Magic - B.o.B & Rivers Cuomo
18 Lucifer - SHINee
19 What If - Jason Derulo
20 Club Can't Handle Me - Flo Rida feat. David Guetta
