EW has exclusively learned that Glee is planning a second Britney Spears tribute for the fall! Set to be the second episode of the series’ fourth season, this hour homage to Brit Brit will feature eight of her songs but won’t focus on the character of Brittany (Heather Morris) as the first tribute did (Spears is not scheduled to appear in the episode as of now but producers are hoping to work out a deal).

The reason for the Spears hour is because the network is so excited about the pairing of a Spears/X-Factor with Glee on Thursday nights. It also certainly doesn’t hurt that the original Britney tribute, which aired early in the second season, is still one of Glee’s highest-rated episode to date.

Jennifer Lopez returned to American Idol to perform her new single ‘Live It Up‘ with her BFF rapper Pitbull at the live finale results show.



The video for the champagne fueled song will premiere later today, but a trailer was released to give you a preview of what’s to come.

Broadway musical based on the life and music of pop divaCher is currently in development, said the icon via Twitter.

Cher tweeted that it's been a "very slow process" and that producers have "been working on it quite a while now." Cher's publicist Liz Rosenberg concurred, telling Billboard that the show has been in the works for "several years."

The musical is one of a number of projects the diva has been working on behind the scenes. In addition to the stage show, she's recording a new studio album and planning for a concert tour. (More about the album and tour in a moment.)

Cher said that the musical would be divided into three segments, with three different actresses portraying her in various stages of her life. The trio of performers will interact with one another as well, in spoken word and in song. {source}
