Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan Conquers Glee Come New Year!

It’s official! And we’re giddy as can be to announce to you that pop Latino artist and diva extraordinaire Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan are up for the charts to start the New Year right with Glee! And speaking of Glee, don’t worry, because we’ll be on for Glee Season 3 Episode 9:Extraordinary Merry Christmas when it airs on your favorite websites and small screens right this month on December 13, 2011. No, you’re not hearing anything wrong. It’s because everything rings true, Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan are all tangibly confirmed to join Glee for another episode in the new year. And if you still can’t believe that, just wait and ask the show’s executive music producer, Adam Anders.

"We just announced Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan for a Spanglish episode," he told Billboard.com Sunday night. "We're just starting the planning, so I don't know (which songs the pair will sing.) I wouldn't tell you anyway!"

Anders for his part did confirm this crazy, hazy mash-up with Martin’s ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca ‘ amd Estefan’s ‘Conga’, which would be one cool route for the two hit superstars. According to some of the earliest reports, Estefan will be in the most compromising role ever: Santana’s mom and Martin will be McKinley High’s newest and hottest Spanish teacher (‘scuse me, Will,) in the very next episode.

"I'm excited everyone is here together supporting this cause," said Harry Shum Jr., who was on hand with his co-stars to introduce Amber Riley's performance. "Last year I was here, but it wasn't this big of a scale. I'm so happy to see it grow over a year and bring awareness. I danced last year. We're alternating, this year Darren (Criss) is doing it and Amber's doing it, but I'll just enjoy watching."

Anders also served as the musical director for the rest of the night, working hand in hand with Adam Shankman, who also directed the entire event. Anders described his role as "selecting songs, arrangements, artists, pulling favors," but admitted that he didn't need to twist anyone's arm to be involved in Trevor.

"We thought we'd have to, but everybody wants to be part of it and help out," he said. "The amount of talent that's come out to support has been amazing."
 But don’t wait for long, and don’t miss Glee Season 3 Episode 9: Extraordinary Merry Christmas.
