Gleeks, you probably thought Gwyneth Paltrow doing Cee-Lo was big news.Well, you’re gonna get down on your knees and thank Grilled Cheesus for this latest bit of news.
A Glee source has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Glee will be tackling Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” for their post-Super Bowl episode…but with a twist. The Jackson classic will be performed as a mash-up with another song, yet to be chosen. But the supersized episode, which source says will be the most expensive in Glee history and likely one of televsion’s priciest episodes ever, will also feature covers of tunes by Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum, and Katy Perry.
Although “Thriller” is featured in the episode, it will not be a Michael Jackson tribute episode. Nor will it be a tribute to Bruce Springsteen, as rumors have suggested. In fact, sources say that the only pop star truly considered for the Super Bowl episode was Sir Elton John (expect an Elton John tribute episode later this season).
The post-Super Bowl episode will instead keep with the evening’s sports theme and focus on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester’s cheerleading regionals (the “Thriller” mash-up will be played during halftime of the onscreen pigskin game). Basically, it will be a classic episode of Glee, but just bigger and better.

Gleeks can also expect appearances from season two fan favorites: Blaine (Darren Criss) and Coach Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones).
General Motors is co-sponsoring the episode, which likely means there will be limited commercial interruptions.
So, Gleeks are you ready for some football?
