Glee Beliebes

Now this is how you get viewers of a certain (young) age to tune in: you do a Justin Bieber episode.

That’s what Glee is planning on doing next month, which is already shaping up to be quite eventful, what with their Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day installments.

Although details are scarce, this much is known: the Bieber-centric episode of the hit TV show is tentatively set to air on Feb. 15.

Update 1: That Feb. 15 episode, it’ll mark the return of Gwyneth Paltrow as Holly Holliday, who’s coming back to romance Matthew Morrison’s Mr. Schue.

G.P. will be back on the show for not one but two episodes. Yay!

And get this, Glee is also planning on taking on Lady GaGa’s “Born This Way,” her about-to-drop new single.

And Kristin Chenoweth is coming back toward the end of the season for a multi-episode arc.

Update 2: Not so fast with the excitement, Beliebers.

Turns out, Glee isn’t doing a full Justin Bieber episode, just using one of his songs. “[We are] not doing a Justin Bieber tribute episode. We are not doing any more of those this season. Those are reserved for artists with a big catalogue, à la Madonna and Britney, etc.,” said Ryan Murphy, the show’s mastermind. “[What we do do i]s a small part of a big episode that has a lot of other things going on.”
