Believe it or not – Glee is planning yet another “tribute” episode – this time, honoring the late, great Whitney Houston.

The cast will perform eight songs from the songstress, who passed away early last month, with powerhouse vocalist Amber Riley leading the way.  Riley performed a moving rendition of Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”, just days after the singer’s death and insiders report that this episode is a continuation of the cast’s wishes to pay their respects to an amazing artist.

It’s using Whitney’s music as a way to say goodbye… A way to respectfully say thank you for her music.

Series star Lea Michele took to her Twitter this morning to update fans about filming,

@MSLEAMICHELE: Starting a new episode today. A very special tribute to one of the worlds most amazing singers. Very excited about this one.

No air date has been set for the Whitney episode, but stay tuned to GossipTeen for updates!

After two years off successful tours during their off-season, the Glee cast has decided to take a much needed summer vacation.  You heard us right Gleek-os!  You’re going to have to resort to dusting off your CD soundtracks and watching old DVR’d episodes to get your McKinley High fix this year.

But lest you all get your panties in a twist, there is hope for seeing Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and the rest of the gang LIVE at least one time this year.  According to a source, Glee producers are considering a one-time performance at the Hollywood Bowl this fall that would serve as a fundraiser for the arts education charity, Glee: Give a Note.

Sounds like a win-win to us!

In a segment they like to call “revolving mirrors” Glee star Chris Colfer and the show’s outstanding choreographer Zach Woodlee, give us Gleeks a chance to peek into what makes the FOX hit show such a resounding success.

The cast and crew’s sense of humor!

Working on a show that tackles such hard hitting issues as bullying and gay-rights can be tough, so it’s important to remember what it’s really all about – GLEE!

Chris and Zach’s video segment is just as adorable as it is hilarious – check it out below!

BRING ON THE GLEEKS!

Glee super star Lea Michele made quite an impression on the red carpet in a stunning, gorgeous backless red gown by Marchesa of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

Lea tweeted, “On my way the the #Emmys!!! Beyond excited!!!! Wearing tonight a gorgeous red dress by Marchesa and jewels by Lorraine Schwartz.” Later, she added, “What a beautiful night…So happy for everyone who won tonight:) And now I turn into pumpkin and must go to sleep.. Love you all! Xo”

The 25 year-old actress was one of the best dressed at the Emmys. Lea brought sexy back and owned the red carpet with her charming presence. Apologies to the other beautiful Glee girls, but Lea had the best red carpet fashion pick in Glee history. It was epic!

Heather Morris, who plays cheerleader Brittany Pierce of FOX’s Glee, looked incredible in purple ruffled gown on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

The 24 year-old actress’ hair looked absolutely flawless in an elaborate updo, and the smoky makeup was also perfect. I’m not sure about the dress though. Only a hot and young spitfire like Heather could actually pull it off.

The beautiful Dianna Agron, who’s rocking a shorter new haircut, dared to wear a radiant blue gown by Roksanda Ilincic on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

Before the show, Dianna tweeted, “Nervous jitters like I’m going back to Prom. Don’t know why. Feeling like a little girl in big kids clothes. #funtimes.”

Later, she thanked everybody for her Emmys look: “You know it takes an army! Big thank you to Roksanda Ilincic, Fred Leighton & Roger Vivier for such beautiful pieces to wear yesterday.”

Gorgeous! Who do you think won the Emmys red carpet fashion showdown: Lea Michele or Dianna Agron? I’d say Lea killed the competition!

Glee stars Jenna Ushkowitz and Amber Riley opted for two very different styles on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

Amber got all dolled up and glamorous in a lavender gown, while Jenna went for a little edgier look with a tight updo, dramatic makeup and an asymmetric strapless black gown by Ghadah Paris.

Jenna tweeted, “It’s Emmy day! Woo! Got My fashions on, ready to have a great time!!! Bring it on Emmys!!!!”

Amber tweeted, “Almost to the Red Carpet and I’m sittin pretty in pink cant wait to get this show on the road. I wish you could wear jeans and graphic Tee and chucks to the Emmys! Don’t worry, I would never… or would I *evil grin* Lol I definitely am a girly-girl! I love putting on dresses and gettin dolled up ”

Actors Chris Colfer and Darren Criss looked super dapper in slick black suits on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

The 21 year-old Chris, who plays gay student Kurt Hummel, and 24 year-old Darren, who plays Kurt’s boyfriend Blaine Anderson, quickly became the most handsome and enigmatic gay couple in Glee club history.

Unfortunately, GLEE left empty handed with no awards, but actress Jane Lynch, who plays the devilish Sue Sylvester, delivered a fantastic ceremony as the host of the evening. Congrats to all Gleeks. The new season of “Glee” premieres today (Tuesday, September 20).
