hyllnings avsnitt
"Vi arbetar på två hyllnings avsnitt," Berättar Ryan Murphy (skapare) till The Hollywood Reporter. "Jag är inte redo att berätta ännu eftersom det inte är klart, men det är roliga saker."
Medan detaljer hålls hemligt, har Murphy tidigare i år avslöjat att han vill göra en Madonna/Elton John mash-up denna säsong. "Ett stor GLEE mål i år:. En Madonna / Elton John mashup # gayhatchetburying", skrev han på Twitter i augusti.
Hyllnings avsnitten har varit varierande i serien. Det första Spears avsnittet erbjöd i November 2010 höga tittarsiffror -som sedan toppade Madonna. Den 90-minuters Lady Gaga avsnittet - 18 avsnittet av säsong två - registrerat säsongen med en 3,4 rating och 8,6 miljoner tittare. Årets "Britney 2,0" sålde 2,9 i demo och 7,5 miljoner totalt tittare.
Murphy - talar vid öppnandet av The Hollywood Reporter Design Hollywood showhouse på The Century som en del av THR: s konstituerande design - noterade också att han planerar ett Alla hjärtans dag bröllop, men ville inte vara specifik. (Vi tittar på dig, Will och Emma!)
Också att hålla utkik efter: "Jul avsnittet, som Murphy beskrivs som "Mycket känslomässigt" "Vi har tagit karaktärer som du inte skulle förväntas att vara tillsammans och satt ihop dem", säger han retandes, notera att det görs på ett mycket Love Actually sätt.
Vem tror du Glee ska hedra? Tror du att det blir ett Alla hjärtans dag bröllop för Will och Emma?
The Fox musical -- which has already paid tribute to Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Madonna and Britney Spears (twice) -- isn't done with the hourlong dedications this season.
"We're working on two tribute episodes," co-creator/showrunner Ryan Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter. "I'm not ready to announce yet because it's not clear, but fun stuff."
While details are being kept under wraps, Murphy this season has hinted that he wants to settle the Madonna/Elton John feud that erupted earlier this year. "A big GLEE goal this year: a Madonna/Elton John mashup. #gayhatchetburying," he wrote on Twitter in August.
Tribute episodes have been a mixed bag for the series. The first Spears offering in November 2010 notched a then-series high, topping its Madonna effort. Its 90-minute Lady Gaga entry -- the 18th episode of season two -- registered a season low at the time with a 3.4 rating and 8.6 million viewers. This year's "Britney 2.0" collected a 2.9 in the demo and 7.5 million total viewers.
Murphy -- speaking at the opening of The Hollywood Reporter's Design Hollywood showhouse at The Century as part of THR's inaugural Design Issue for which he was the cover story -- also noted he's plotting a Valentine's Day wedding, declining to provide specifics. (We're looking at you, Will and Emma!)
Also to keep an eye out for: Glee's Christmas episode, which Murphy described as "very emotional." "We've taken characters that you wouldn't expect should be together and put them together," he teased, noting it's done in a very Love Actually fashion.
Who do you think Glee should pay tribute to? Do you think it'll be a Valentine's Day wedding for Will and Emma? Hit the comments with your thoughts. Glee returns from its baseball-induced hiatus Nov. 8 at 9 p.m. on Fox. Meanwhile, check out interviews with Murphy and co-star Chris Colfer, below.
