'Glee,' 'Modern Family' Both Planning Lady Gaga Episodes

Do television fans love Lady Gaga as much as music fans? Gaga's upcoming Glee tribute is so big that the show is being extended a full half hour (sorry Raising Hope), and now Modern Family is getting in on the Gaga love.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell on the hit ABC show, revealed that an upcoming episode will center around a Lady Gaga concert. 

"Mitchell, my character, wants to go to the Lady Gaga concert, and Cameron is supposed to go with me but he's sick in bed and he's expecting me to stay home and take care of him," he toldRegis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. "And so I kind of, maybe, drug him a little bit so I can sneak out and go to the concert."

It turns out that Modern Family's admiration of the pop star is mutual. Ferguson said the cast found out Gaga is a big fan of the show when she approached producers about appearing in an episode.

"Gaga reached out and she wanted to do something with the show but it's like, how do you incorporate Lady Gaga into Modern Family?"

Hopefully the show's writers can think of some appropriately fabulous plot point for the pop star
