Glee - What's Going On

I read the blurbs below on Glee and thought you would all be interested. First how awesome (and I do mean awesome) would it be to have an entire epsiode of Glee centered around Billy Joel? This is not a dream people it could happen. Also, what makes Whitney Houston so great that she cannot attempt to "stop by" the show and lend her name to a guest appearance? Both pieces of information are on EW.com (here).

Glee plans to keep fans singing all summer long

The cast of Fox's Glee are a hit on iTunes: Their cover of Journey's ''Don't Stop Believin''' reached No. 1 on the Top Songs chart. So to keep fans occupied until the show returns this fall, producers are planning to release at least two more songs from upcoming episodes on iTunes this summer. (A Glee source says one contender is a cover of Queen's ''Somebody to Love.'') Also look for new performance videos to pop up on Facebook and YouTube. Glee fever has even hit a certain Piano Man. Says co-creator Ryan Murphy, ''Our music supervisor got a call yesterday from Billy Joel, who said, 'Anything you want of my music, you can have it.' We're thinking of doing an episode of all Billy Joel.'' — Tim Stack

Question: Where's all this Glee scoop you're supposed to have? --Tessa
Ausiello:
Lose the 'tude, Tessa. Here's your Glee prattle: Whitney Houston apparently doesn't share EW staffer Tim Stack's love for singing high schoolers. Last week, Ryan Murphy, creator of Fox's musicomedy, told us he's been engaged in "ongoing talks" with the Grammy-winning superstar to make a guest appearance this fall. But a rep for Houston, whose first studio album in seven years drops Sept. 1, insists "it's not happening." Responds Tim Stack in a statement: "It's not right, but it's ... nope, it's not okay either."

Thanks Tivo Mom! :) This is an interesting new way of building buzz for a TV show...air one and then leave people wanting more(if the show's good). I bet we'll see more of this. I went to my book club the other night and almost everyone had seen Glee and loved it.
