'Glee' to Extend Timeslot for 'Born This Way' Episode

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 29th 2011 06:31PM

After taking a spring break, 'Glee' will return on April 19 with 'Night of Neglect,' but many Gleeks are already looking ahead to the following week's episode when the cast tackles Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way.' Fans will get an even bigger dose of New Directions and Gaga thanks to word that there will be more 'Glee' to go around that night.

According to TV Line, sources confirm that the episode is so packed that FOX will likely extend it to 90 minutes rather than the standard 60. The report goes on to say that although much of the episode has already been shot, producers -- pending the go-ahead from FOX-- are planning to go back and incorporate two additional musical numbers to fill out the expanded timeslot.

'Glee's aptly titled 'Born This Way' episode will be a special one. Aside from being the 40th overall, it marks the return of Lady Gaga's music to the hit show. Gaga actually approved the use of the No. 1 hit before it premiered and, like the song, the episode will focus on body image issues and the characteristics that makes each cast member unique. Perez Hilton reports that Lauren (Ashley Fink) will run for prom queen, Rachel (Lea Michele) will consider getting a nose job, and they will revisit the Kurt (Chris Colfer) gay bullying storyline.

The only thing this episode of 'Glee' is missing is an appearance from momma monster herself, though this is quite enough excitement for fans in one day. Dare we speculate on a Lady Gaga guest appearance?

'Glee,' 'Born This Way' will air on Tuesday, April 26.

I don't care what anyone says about Glee or Lady Gaga. I like what I like and I like both.

I wish they would quit doing her songs, boring. Glee has gone downhill in the second season and half the time it's repeats.

By sct

did they extend the show to ninety minutes to insure that victoria jackson's head would explode?

By maris

who really cares.there is enough garbage on without adding to it. lady gaga has real talent but she is so boring with her stupid costumes and attitude.maybe she should sing real music without having to make a statement with every song. as far as glee goes i give two thumbs down for really bad and boring tv

By Barry

So lets preempt "Raising Hope" so that we can extend "Glee" to 90 minutes. FOX just loves shoving this show down our throats.

By Mandy

I agree about Fox shoving this show down our throats!

You use Perez Hilton as a source? Really? Where are you located, Encino?
