GLEE in Filming for Whitney Houston Tribute Episode

GLEE is currently filming a tribute episode to Whitney Houston which features eight of her songs, according to eonline.com. The release date for the episode is yet to be announced.

"It's using Whitney's music as a way to say goodbye," an eonline.com source reveals. "A way to respectfully say thank you for her music."

Earlier today, Lea Michele tweeted: "Starting a new episode today. A very special tribute to one of the worlds most amazing singers. Very excited about this one."

Featuring a soundtrack of hit songs from past and present, GLEE follows an optimistic high school teacher who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to restore his school's fading glee club to its former glory, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.

GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer.
