TV Guide reports today that it is quite possible everyone's favorite cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, may be getting married on an upcoming episode of GLEE.  According to the report: "Looking to steal some of the glory away from the over-the-top wedding Kurt's planning for his dad and Finn's mom (think doves and glitter!), Sue (Jane Lynch) announces to the school that she, too, is getting married. To whom, you ask? All I'll say is that it's the only person Sue views as her equal." 

Could this be why Carol Burnett is making her way onto GLEE as Sylvester's mother? Word is also that Burnett and Lynch will share an on-screen duet from WONDERFUL TOWN. Says Lynch to TV Guide: "She and I sing a duet, 'Why, Oh Why, Oh Why, Did I Leave Ohio' from [the Broadway musical] Wonderful Town."

GLEE made its triumphant return to prime time with an astounding 12.3 million viewers tuning in to the Season 2 premiere. The anticipation and excitement for Glee music reached new heights with over 250,000 new tracks downloaded in the first 48 hours available. This incredible response yielded more record breaking moments for Glee; it's the first time all singles from any episode simultaneously appeared in the top 10 of iTunes Top Songs chart. Additionally, the Glee cast version of Jay-Z's anthem "Empire State of Mind" has the single highest first day sales for any Glee track released to date.

To date over 13 million Glee songs have been digitally downloaded, with over 5 million albums sold worldwide. Glee scored three consecutive #1 releases with Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers, Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna and Glee: The Music, Journey To Regionals. This week four Glee releases occupy slots within Billboard's top 100 best selling albums (Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers at #31, Glee: The Music, Volume 1 at #58, Glee: The Music, Journey To Regionals at #66 and Glee: The Music, Volume 2 at #81). With all the excitement around Glee's return, it's evident why the New York Times proclaimed "'Glee' is now a bonafide phenomenon."
