Oliva Newton-John to guest on ‘Glee’

Following their amazing win for Best Comedy at the Golden Globes yesterday, the ‘Glee’ team are gearing up for their back 9 with a few big names.

According to Entertainment Weekly, ‘Glee’ show-runner and executive producer Ryan Murphy has tapped some big names for the show’s back 9 episodes, including Australia’s own Olivia Newton-John.

“We got Olivia [Newton-John],” says Murphy. “She’s going to come on and do ‘Physical’ with Jane Lynch.”

But Newton-John isn’t the only big name dropping by William McKinley High. Jennifer Lopez has also express interested in making a guest spot on the Golden Globe award winning comedy.

“I’m going to meet with her,” says Murphy.

Although he adds that he doesn’t want to do too much stunt casting on the show. “I think the [musical] numbers are already so extravagant. — If I do Jennifer, I would want her to be, like, a lunch lady.”

‘Glee’ fans should also keep an eye out for a special Madonna episode when the series returns in April. Episode 15 is going to be “huge”.

“We’re shooting it now. It’s got like 10 numbers in it, and the production value is very big. We adore her and worship her, so when I’m directing, I’m always like, ‘Do it for Madonna’.” says Murphy.
