GLEE IS THE WORD FOR OLIVIA

By Toby Longhurst

Olivia Newton John is certainly no stranger to playing the uncool kid at school who knows how to belt out a tune, but TV land is abuzz with the news that Sandra D is about to be swapped for the kids of Glee.
Glee star Jane Lynch, who plays the ruthless cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on the hit television show told OK! that the Aussie icon will indeed find her way to William McKinley High School for a special guest apperance, and that the pair will even share a song together.
“I am doing a song with Olivia Newton-John,” she said. “I’m doing ‘Let’s Get Physical,” Lynch said.
“I’m so excited I can’t see straight! [Olivia] provided the soundtrack for my tortured adolescence. Her charitable work and commitment to making others’ lives and the life of the planet better is so inspiring.”
While Lynch, who is an out and proud lesbian, may be full of praise for Olivia, the same can’t be said for her thoughts on President Obama’s gay marriage stance.
“Shouldn’t there be safeguards against the majority voting on the rights of a minority?” Lynch told The Guardian.
“If people voted on civil rights in the 60s, it would have never happened. It took somebody like Lyndon Johnson going, ‘F all of you! I’m going to do this. Obama won’t do it. He’s a huge disappointment to me.”
