			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We already knew that the <em>Glee </em>kids would be tackling Lady Gaga in their back nine episodes, set to begin airing on Fox April 13. But now we actually can tell you which Gaga tunes to get the choral overhaul: “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face.” The latter of the pair will be tackled by Lea Michele’s Rachel. Says creator Ryan Murphy, “Lea does a very stripped-down version of ‘Poker Face.’” Meanwhile, “Romance” sounds like a much more elaborate number, with the glee club actually donning Gaga-esque wardrobe for the performance.</p>
<p>“I do know that we’re all different Lady Gagas, and at one point I am the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga,” says Michele, referring to this crazy ensemble worn by the pop star. “I saw a picture of the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga with a Post-It on it that said ‘Lea.’ I was like, oh, great. Everyone else has incredible Lady Gaga outfits and I have that one.” And it sounds like producers are making sure the costumes are up to par with the real Gaga’s eccentric wardrobe choices. Says Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt, “The outfits are gonna be incredible. All the costumes are outrageous and legit. I actually went to the tailor this morning who makes the real Gaga outfits. They’re going all-out.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.</p>
<p>Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of <em>Glee</em> to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!</p>
<p>Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, <em>Glee</em>’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even before making it big on Fox’s hit <em>Glee</em>, Lea Michele was already a bona fide Broadway star, thanks to 2006’s <em>Spring Awakening</em>. No wonder the theater world is anxious to get her back on the boards. One non-profit theater company in New York has gone so far as to create a show with Michele in mind, the <em><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/role_for_her_286r8Xb6cSuI0yoLTtmd6J">New York Post</a></em> reports. Reed Prescott, executive director of the New York Theatre Barn, confirms that the brunette belter helped inspire their new musical “Speargrove Presents,” based on a real-life incident in which a town blocked a high school production of “Rent.” He chatted with EW’s Simon Vozick-Levinson about the about the project — and explained why Michele is the best woman for the job:</p>
<p><strong>EW: </strong>What can you tell us about the role?<br />
<strong>Prescott</strong>: It’s the role of Caroline Bonds. It’s a role that’s similar to what she plays on Glee — the queen bee of the high school drama club…. People from the community rewrite the show and take her song out, so she quits the show, which gets misconstrued as a big political move…. At this big school board meeting, she speaks up for herself, and they end up doing a concert of the show at a different location.”</p>
<p><strong>EW:</strong> Why Lea?<br />
<strong>Prescott: </strong>Well, because she has Broadway chops, clearly. She’s actually attended some of our events in the past. We just always had it in mind.</p>
<p><span id="more-397"></span><strong> EW: </strong>Have you reached out to Lea yet?<br />
<strong> Prescott: </strong>We haven’t done any hardcore reaching out yet. We’re in the first stage, putting it together a reading.</p>
<p>There is, of course, the little matter of Michele’s insane schedule, as she continues to shoot and promote <em>Glee</em>. Isn’t she <em>way</em> too busy to take on a stage role? Her rep did not return requests for comment. Prescott, meanwhile, remains optimistic. If she says no, “we’ll reach out to someone else,” he says. “But ultimately, we would love Lea Michele.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans of <em>Glee</em> will have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.</p>
<p>According to Billboard, the show will issue not one, but two albums in November and December featuring the numerous songs from the show as <em>Glee: The Music </em>volumes 1 and 2.</p>
<p>A new Christmas single, a cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” that won’t appear on the show, will also be released. A cast tour is reportedly in the works for summer 2010.</p>
<p><span id="more-259"></span>And, the mag reported, solo albums for the series’ stars could be in the works as well.</p>
<p>“Lea [Michele] has tried different songs and already thought, ‘Maybe I like doing rock,’” <em>Glee</em> showrunner Ryan Murphy told the mag. “Her album is not going to be Broadway stuff. She’ll sit with producers and come up with her own concept.”</p>
<p>And Lea herself said she’s not sure if her co-stars have plans for their own solo discs, but there’s one she can’t wait to hear.</p>
<p>“I have no idea, but all I know is that as soon as Amber Riley [who plays Mercedes] makes her album, I’m going to be the first one buying it,” Lea said.</p>
<p>Songs from the show have sold over 1.8 million digital downloads, the mag reported, with the <em>Glee </em>version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” selling 522,000 downloads overall and entering the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 4 in its first week of release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop Believing&#8221; in a <em>Glee</em> tour, because executive producer Ryan Murphy says it&#8217;s a go next summer. </p>
<p>Following the Season 1 wrap-up, the <em>Glee</em> club is going on tour. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to do what <em>American Idol</em> has done and put the kids on the road,&#8221; Murphy told the New York Post. &#8220;It all equals revenue streams for Fox.&#8221;</p>
<p>With five of <em>Glee</em>&#8216;s songs already on the iTunes top 100 list and the first of five CDs set to drop on Nov. 3, it was only a matter of time before the club hit the road.</p>
<p>Will you buy a ticket?</p>
