Is the Queen of Kabbalah so out of touch with popular culture that “she’s never heard of” Glee, the television musical hit that has much of America singing?
(Glee Fun Fact: Over 13.6 million viewers tuned in for the show’s spring season premiere on FOX Tuesday night.)
The much-awaited Madonna episode of Glee debuts next week, but Madge herself isn’t one of the millions of Americans who will be Gleeking as the Glee Club of McKinley High tackles some of The Material Girl’s biggest career charttoppers in a episode dedicated to her 27 year career.
A tipster tells PopEater’s Naughty of Nice: “Madonna doesn’t have a TV and has no idea what ‘Glee’ is. The show did ask her if she wanted to make an appearance in the much-hyped Madonna episode. She said ‘no thanks’ and, to be honest, she would rather they sing an Elton John song than butcher one of hers.”
She’ll go on The Marriage Ref but not TV’s hottest series? Interesting…. Whether she tunes in or not, Madge will pocket approximately $100,000 in royalties from Glee’s Madonna special.
Be sure to watch next week’s episode “The Power of Madonna” on Tuesday, April 20 @ 9 PM. The Glee Club will perform some of the Material Girl’s greatest hits, including “Express Yourself” and “Like a Prayer.”
