Chace Crawford’s ‘Glee’ Character Biff McIntosh Is So ‘Obnoxious’: Watch A Sneak Peek

"Glee" and "Gossip Girl" are hooking up!

In the much-anticipated 100th episode of which airs Tuesday, Gleeks will not only witness the reunion of some former castmates, but will be treated to a familiar face: former "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford.

Check Out This Exclusive 'Glee' Sneak Peak On E!

In a behind-the-scenes teaser released Monday (March 17) for the upcoming episode, Chace introduces us to his character, Biff McIntosh, the preppy, snobby boyfriend of former head Cheerio, Quinn (Dianna Agron).

"I play her douchey boyfriend from the Northeast, so it's more of a character. It was a good time. [I did] four or five scenes; we had a blast," Crawford recently told MTV News.

Quinn brings Biff, who she met at Yale, home to her former stomping grounds at William McKinley High School, and let's just say he didn't make a great first impression.

"I haven't spent that much time around them, but poor people are generally less attractive than rich ones," Biff says in a scene from the episode.

Biff, who Chase describes as "quite obnoxious" and "a jerk," is in fact, in for a rude awakening, since Quinn conveniently forgot to mention her somewhat-erratic past.

"He knows nothing about her real life," Agron said. "And she's kind of sugarcoated everything."

So, what kind of skeletons come out of Quinn's closet? Well, after Biff, who Crawford revealed will not be participating in any songs during the episode, asks Santana to describe Quinn in one sentence, she decides to throw Quinn under the bus and divulge on her not-so-proudest moments.

"She died ...

The 1975 Called ‘Godless Animals,’ Had A Gun Pulled On Them By An MLB Player’s Mom

The 1975 swept through Austin, Texas this past weekend for their second-straight South By Southwest fest ... and their first appearance at the mtvU Woodie Awards.

And though plenty has happened to the breakout Brits since their first trip to SXSW — including their — let's just say that first visit is one they won't forget any time soon.

"Last year we were renting a house off some baseball star who was really religious, and his mom turned up and found lots of, like, paraphernalia, and found out we'd been sharing a bed — three guys — and they called us 'Godless animals' and they chased us out of the house with a gun!" frontman Matt Healy laughed. "They didn't like it! I was like 'Come on! I thought we were in Austin! I didn't think this was, like, hick territory.' They hated us."

"They thought we were being gay in their bedroom or something," drummer George Daniel added. "And then one of our friends, he didn't even know this had happened, he was still at the festival, he went back to the house and had a shower, and managed to leave without them even leaving! It was brilliant!"

Of course, given that their plans for 2014 include "not dying," you'd think the 1975 would want to avoid Texas for the foreseeable future ... but they'll be back in May for a trio of shows as part of their seemingly endless world tour. And, no, they're not worried about any gunplay this time around.

"We've done so many countries, ...

Lil Wayne Is ‘Trying’ To Censor Himself On <i>Tha Carter V</i>: Exclusive Video

When Lil Wayne dropped his original Tha Carter LP in 2004, he was just 21 years old, taking on the role of Cash Money Records' flagship artist after the departure of former label stars Juvenile and B.G. Ten years later, the rap veteran is prepping Tha Carter V and is ready to put a decade's worth of life lessons into what he says is his final solo album.

"I say it's different, because I'm older and wiser, and I know more things and I know more about myself now," the decorated rap star told MTV News as he leaned back on the couch of his trailer Wednesday morning during a break from shooting Young Money's "Senile" video in Los Angeles.

Through the years, Weezy has grown from a kiddie rapper to a respected lyricist, mostly due to his free-associative rhyme style, in which he connects unrelated thoughts with creative one-liners. On his 2010 single "6 Foot 7 Foot," Tunechi peppered his verses with references to baseball, sex, He-Man and synchronized swimming. He also reminded us that "Real Gs move in silence like lasagna."

Unfortunately, that same off-the-cuff style landed the Young Money boss in some controversy last year when he delivered lines about civil-rights figure Emmett Till on Future's "Karate Chop" remix. Weezy eventually apologized, but lost an endorsement deal with Mountain Dew and was became at odds with the Till family as a result.

"I'm more careful about what I'm doing and trying to be more careful what I'm saying," he explained about his state of mind while recording ...

Will Ellie Goulding Be Back For Next ‘Divergent’ Soundtrack?

"

The Kanye West-inspired soundtrack, which was released last week, features a mix of hip-hop and EDM hits that completely encapsulates the moods, feelings and emotions of the characters and the scenes.

There is one artist that holds it all together, and that is Ellie Goulding. The pop star's songs take the film's pivotal scenes to new heights, with playing over the final scene in the movie, and "Dead in the Water" perfectly heightening the emotion in the much-anticipated kiss scene.

"I've always loved the idea of doing a film soundtrack, so when ... I'd seen the film and they put some of my songs to it, my face lit up. I felt very excited," Goulding said during after the premiere of her video for "Beating Heart." "It's the first thing I've done where my voice is used amongst the soundtrack rather than just songs."

Director Neil Burger said that Goulding acts as the inner voice of Tris, played by Shailene Woodley; her voice is heard woven throughout the film's score.

Music supervisor Randall Poster recently told MTV News that if he returns for the series' next film, "Insurgent," he would love to "maintain Ellie as the voice of Tris."

"Everyone might get a bit annoyed with my voice. I would love to ...," Ellie said about joining the next soundtrack. "I would like to do stuff that's a more bit out of my comfort zone and a bit different. I make a lot of pop music that's my true love, but yeah, I'd love to ...
