Most Anticipated of 2010

Glee: We were left humming "Don't Stop Believing" and "My Life Would Suck Without You" for days. Now, until "Glee" returns in April, our life will be a giant void filled with silence. The show promised us more drama, new relationships and of course more signing. News has been flying that Idina Menzel, the original Elphaba in "Wicked" on Broadway, will be joining the cast for a multiple episode arc. Olivia Newton-John will be making an apperance, and Kristin Chenoweth will be reprising her role of April Rhodes.
Movies
Alice in Wonderland: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Tim Burton directing? Who better to take on Lewis Carroll's drug-influenced classic? Depp and a big budget movie usually means a summer release date, but this movie will be hitting theaters in March. You don't want to be late for this very important date.
Inception: This movie could very well be terrible. All anyone knows it what director, Chris Nolan ("The Dark Knight") has chosen to reveal: it's a contemporary sci-fi action film set within the architecture of the mind. However, considering Nolan's reputation and the past movies he has directed, we are willing to follow him anywhere, even if it may be to the unknown.
Arrested Development: Possibly the most anticipated movie of the year, "Arrested Development" fans have been pining for a big screen adaptation ever since the show was kicked off the air. After jumping through hoop after hoop, the producers finally signed Michael Cera, and the movie has begun to take shape.
Music
Vampire Weekend, "Contra": How do you follow-up one of the most universally acclaimed albums of the decade? If you're Vampire Weekend, you release your first single about a Mexican rice drink. The band's second disk has more guitar driven tracks than on their first self-titled debut. "Contra" is out now.
She & Him, "Volume 2": The sequel to their hit "Volume 1" will feature 13 songs (11 originals) and one Tilly and the Wall guest spot. "Volume 2" hits stores on March 23.
Katy Perry, TBD: First she kissed a girl, than she woke up in Vegas, and now Katy Perry is about release her follow-up to her disk "One of the Boys." Though information on the upcoming album is pretty hard to find, I think we can all expect some more crazy songs as well as crazy moves from this girl.
