According to TVLine.com, GLEE's upcoming 'Born This Way' episode, set to air on April 26, will be extended to an hour and a half instead of the typical 60 minute slot. 

While the episode features songs by superstar Lady Gaga, the episode will not focuse exclusively on her music.

As described by TVLine, in the episode, 'Lauren (Ashley Fink) runs for prom queen, in so doing challenging the traditional notion of what a pageant princess looks like. Rachel (Lea Michele), meanwhile, considers getting a nose job.'
