They're baaaaack! Your favorite 'Glee' characters make the return to prime time television with 'The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle' -- an all-new larger-than-life episode of the hit FOX music show that will kick-off following Superbowl XLV.

In order to draw new viewers, Season 2, Episode 11 will give special attention to the Cheerios cheerleading squad. The girls will tackle a sexy performance of Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' -- complete with pyrotechnic special effects. Spoiler: Like in Perry's 'Firework' video, fire will shoot from the cheerleaders' breasts.
