GLEE star Lea Michele knows just the celebrity to be featured in a new Rock musical; Madonna. Her answer to 'which singer, songwriter, or band makes music that you think would thrive in a theater?' is included in a new feature from Newsweek.
It seemed safe enough...a group of television's nerdiest residents who just want to sing on Fox television. However, it was perhaps only a matter of time before The O'Reilly Factor's Bill O'Reilly found issue with his network's hit comedy GLEE. Last night, O'Reilly dedicated a special segment of his program to discussing the dangers and insensitivity of GLEE for its stabs at conservatives Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin during the Power of Madonna episode that aired on Tuesday.
After the success of this week's Madonna themed GLEE episode, Fox will be airing the 'The Power of Madonna' one more time on Friday May 23 at 9PM for those who missed out on it the first time (and for those who had DVRed the episode and fell victim to the cut off due to American Idol running late). Tuesday's episode pulled in 13.5 million viewers and it is currentlly holding the number oe position on iTunes.

On this week's episode of GLEE, Mr. Schue, observing the bullying that the girl members of the club are receiving from the guys, gives his students an assignment: pick a Madonna song and, in the words of the songstress herself, 'Express Yourself.' The premise, a rehash of last week's assignment to find a 'Hello'-themed song, is already becoming tired and redundant; not only is the series getting less original, but its preachy aspects are amplified to incredible levels in this episode.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Broadway veteren and Glee star Matthew Morrison chatted about the roles of his past and of what's in store for Mr. Schue in upcoming episodes. Morrison answered questions submitted by fans about everything from his stint in the Legally Brown webseries to what kind of hair products he uses.

In 'The Power of Madonna' episode, MR. SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) is concerned that the girls in the glee club are being disrespected and bullied by the male members. Looking to Madonna and her musical message of equality as inspiration, he challenges the entire team to choose Madonna songs as their next assignment in the hopes that the girls embrace Madonna's strength, independence and confidence so that the guys will see the errors of their misogynistic ways. The glee club takes the assignment to heart and performs some of Madonna's greatest hits, including 'Express Yourself' and 'Like a Prayer.' Meanwhile, KURT (Chris Colfer) and MERCEDES (Amber Riley) give SUE (Jane Lynch) a vote of confidence with a Madonna makeover that is definitely in 'Vogue.'
