What will Coachella look like in the future?

The premiere festival for music, eargasms and “grinding against strangers in a dance tent” may look a little different in the future. And if “Funny or Die” is any indicator, Jeff Goldblum may be it’s source of change.

Everything kicks off with some of the ousted finalists singing Pink's "So What."

As in, "So what I got kicked off, I still have a record deal and I'm going to sing on 'Dancing With the Stars' next week." Right Pia?

So when Cam and Mitchell need to name a guardian for Lily in their will, they have a tough choice to make: Phil and Claire, or Jay and Gloria?

It's this decision that serves as the theme for the episode: it's all about who's less screwed up, the Dunphys or the Pritchetts.

Last night's preview of the next "Glee" let us know that we're going to be treated to the 90-minute "Born This Way" episode everybody's been talking about. But what exactly will the episode include?
