Whitney Houston, we have a problem – with you turning down "Glee"

24 June 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

Whitney Houston apparently doesn’t believe that children are the future — or at least not the children of Glee. The pop diva has turned down a role as a rival choir director in the upcoming season of the new high school musical comedy.

As Whitney herself might say: Oh, hell to the no!

Still her loss is Eve’s (and our) gain. The hip-hop star has stepped in for the singer and will appear in a two episodes arc this fall. I’ve never seen the Barbershop movies, so I can’t comment on Eve’s acting, but she sure struts around impressively in her videos and has a role in the upcoming Ellen Page-Drew Barrymore collaboration Whip It!, so I’m sure she’ll do just great.

Still it’s hard to understand why Whitney wouldn’t wanna dance with somebody (had to do it) in the Glee crew.
