FOX is definitely investing on its new series "Glee" because it won't stop at having Joss Whedon to direct an episode. The musical show has nabbed the right to Madonna's catalog and may bring in "American Idol" season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert to the equation.

An episode which will feature only Madonna's music is worked on for early next year, Entertainment Weekly has reported. Plus, co-creator Ryan Murphy reveals that they are trying to get Lambert to appear in the show. In fact, "Glee" will be paired up on Wednesday nights with "American Idol" next year.

EW is doing a huge coverage of "Glee" on its newest issue which is on stands this Friday, October 23. Murphy also revealed to the magazine that Lea Michele's co-star in Broadway's "Spring Awakening", Jonathan Groff, has been cast to be the lead singer of Vocal Adrenaline, the glee-club champs that appeared in the series' pilot back in May. Groff's character is a "male diva" who is trying to catch Rachel's attention.
