Lea Salonga not joining 'Glee'

International singer Lea Salonga is not joining hit American comedy series "Glee."

In her live interview on “The Buzz” Sunday, Salonga said there was no offer to join the show, and she has no idea where the speculations came from.

"No, no. I've not been asked and I have no idea how that (speculations) happened," Salonga said.

Rumor has it that Salonga will portray international singing sensation Charice's mother.

If given a chance though, the Tony Award-winning theater actress said she would be glad to do it.

"Of course I would, absolutely. It's one of my favorite TV shows,” she said.

In “Glee,” Charice will play the role of a foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get lead star Rachel contemplating murder. The pint-sized singer will start taping for the series on July 28.

"Glee" is an hour-long comedy series that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to reignite his passion while working with a group of outcasts to revive the fortunes of the school's glee club.

Meanwhile, Salonga is all set for the staging of "Cats,” one of the well-loved and longest running musicals on Broadway.

Salonga top-bills the production as "Grizabella" wherein she is singing alto.

The musical will be held at the CCP Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo from July 24 to August 15.
