Kathy Griffin to star in ‘Glee’
Glee has become the go-to show for Hollywood A-Listers looking to moonlight, sing a few numbers and maybe score some cultural clout into the bargain.That's why the announcement that Irish American comedienne and gay-fav Kathy Griffin is getting an episode is such a no-brainer for the all singing, all dancing show.
Griffin will reportedly appear as a character named Tammy Jean, described by Glee creator Ryan Murphy as "a recent tea party candidate and home schooler - a Sarah Palin type."
We expect Griffin will nail this role the same way skewers the snooty pomposity of other A-List stars like Madonna and Barbara Walters.
Murphy says that Tammy Jean was created to add a Christian character into the Glee mix, adding another layer of mayhem to an already soapy mix.

'Glee' : Sam will sing Justin Bieber. Prepare yourself (because you might love it).
I’m going on record to say I’m terrified of tonight’s episode of Glee (titled “Comeback”). Why? Because Sam is going to sing Justin Bieber — and I love Sam’s voice. Thus, tomorrow, as I stroll into work, I know, I KNOW that I’m going to be humming a freakin’ Justin Bieber song.
Now, I don’t have anything personal against the Biebs. I have a teenie bopper past of my own, and the little Biebernators who run around make my heart flutter with memories of my own dark past. But the music is not my cup o’ Irish coffee.
My problem lies in this: I know I’m going to judge myself tomorrow for falling madly in love with “Baby.” I don’t listen to song leaks, but from what I heard during last week’s preview, it’s going to be in heavy rotation. So I suggest a musical pass for all Gleeks. Tomorrow, let’s all hum “Baby” (or “Somebody to Love,” which is also being feature in the episode) if we so choose and promise not to berate ourselves — or each other. Deal? Deal.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s wait out these hours until the new episode with peace of mind — and healthy excitement. Tonight, I hear that Rachel has lots of scenes with Brittany (a.k.a.: pure magic), and Sue returns after being absent from last week’s Tuesday episode.

Jane Lynch wants Elton John for Glee
Jane Lynch wants Elton John to star in Glee as her love interest.
Her co-star Matthew Morrison put forward the suggestion and Jane said she would be 'all over it'.
She told People, 'I love that idea, and I'm all over that idea. From [Morrison's] lips to [executive producer] Ryan Murphy's ears!'
She added that her hard-nosed character Sue Sylvester would be a perfect match for Elton.
'Someone Saved My Life Tonight is probably her favourite ballad, so I don't think he would have any problem,' she added.

'Glee' Beats Elvis Presley's UK Chart Record
The cast of Glee has beaten Elvis Presley’s British chart record by becoming the fastest act to score 20 top 40 hits. They achieved the feat on Sunday, when their rendition of Britney Spears’ "Toxic" entered the UK singles chart at number 40.
They scored their 20th hit in just 57 weeks, 31 weeks ahead of the late ‘King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, who took 88 weeks to achieve the same.
Martin Talbot, managing director of the Official Charts Company, said: "This is a quite amazing achievement by the Glee cast to be in the same company as the likes of Elvis Presley, in fact beating his 50-year-old record.
"The success underlines just how popular this TV show has become, as well as emphasizing how digital downloading has transformed the consumer's engagement with music. The Glee cast are superstars of the digital music age."
Glee’s chart success includes three top 10 entries, with their cover version of Journey’s "Don't Stop Believin'" reaching number two in January 2010.
Songs from a host of top music stars have been reimagined by the Glee cast -- which includes Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith -- including artists such as Madonna, Lady Gaga and Coldplay.
