@KristinDSantos & @adammshankman...WHY?

But we WANT the Michael Jackson tribute!!!

From Kristin Dos Santos at eonline.com:


Even the best singers on Glee know you can't win regionals without an awesome dance routine.

So who better to direct an episode than So You Think You Can Dance judge, Step Up 3D producer and famed choreographer Adam Shankman?

During the TCA press tour Monday, Glee show runner Ryan Murphy confirmed that Adam would be directing one of the first 10 episodes next season. Read on to hear what Adam told us last night about his episode (including the Michael Jackson rumors) and who he's most excited to direct...

"I can't say [which episode I'll be directing]," Adam told us backstage last night after the SYTYCD semifinal, "but it's not the thing everybody thinks it is."

Yesterday, Ryan Seacrest tweeted that he "got a pretty heavy hint" from Adam "that he's directing the MJ episode." "All I went was 'hee hee' in Michael Jackson's voice," Adam told us. "I didn't say yes I was doing the Michael Jackson episode.

"I literally sent an email to Ryan Murphy saying I had nothing to do with" the Michael Jackson reports, Adam told us. "The details are not all in—I don't even know if the music is all chosen for the episode."

"I told Ryan the episodes I respond to the best were the ones that pack an emotional wallop. He came up with the idea for the one that he wants me to do."

About the Glee cast, Adam says, "I absolutely adore them. They're all really crazy big fans of So You Think You Can Dance and they were at the Step Up premiere, all of them."

"But I'll tell you who I'm dying to work with: Jane Lynch."

*sigh* Let's keep pushing harder GLEEks & MJFam!!

SYTYCD on GLEE?

by Jennifer Still of digitalspy.com:

Ashley Galvan has revealed that she would love to star in an episode of Glee.

The 19-year-old was recently eliminated from the seventh season of So You Think You Can Dance after a fractured rib rendered her unable to perform.

She hoped to be fully recovered soon and admitted that in addition to dancing, she plans to begin auditioning for TV and commercial roles.

"I'm hoping that I will be able to go on a lot of auditions for different jobs and just kind of continue my journey, which is only just beginning. Hopefully I get to work in movies and commercials and TV work," she told Inside Pulse.

"I'm hoping that someday I get to be on Glee. That's my dream, I hope I get to do that."

She added that an appearance on the Fox musical series would not be out of the question, as she has a background in acting.

"I did [train in acting], for about a year... because that's something I really wanted to do, something I really wanted to open up with because I am a shy person and I feel like doing acting will kind of help me grow up and not be so shy anymore," she explained.

Galvan's good friend and fellow competitor Robert Roldan recently said that his dance on Wednesday night's show was dedicated to her.
