SYTYCD's Adam Shankman on Directing Glee: "It's Not the Episode Everybody Thinks It Is"

Even the best singers on Glee know you can't win regionals without an awesome dance routine.
So who better to direct an episode than So You Think You Can Dance judge, Step Up 3D producer and famed choreographer Adam Shankman?
During the TCA press tour Monday, Glee show runner Ryan Murphy confirmed that Adam would be directing one of the first 10 episodes next season. Read on to hear what Adam told us last night about his episode (including the Michael Jackson rumors) and who he's most excited to direct...
"I can't say [which episode I'll be directing]," Adam told us backstage last night after the SYTYCD semifinal, "but it's not the thing everybody thinks it is."
Yesterday, Ryan Seacrest tweeted that he "got a pretty heavy hint" from Adam "that he's directing the MJ episode." "All I went was 'hee hee' in Michael Jackson's voice," Adam told us. "I didn't say yes I was doing the Michael Jackson episode.
"I literally sent an email to Ryan Murphy saying I had nothing to do with" the Michael Jackson reports, Adam told us. "The details are not all in—I don't even know if the music is all chosen for the episode."
"I told Ryan the episodes I respond to the best were the ones that pack an emotional wallop. He came up with the idea for the one that he wants me to do."
About the Glee cast, Adam says, "I absolutely adore them. They're all really crazy big fans of So You Think You Can Dance and they were at the Step Up premiere, all of them."
"But I'll tell you who I'm dying to work with: Jane Lynch."
What do you think? Is Adam the best choice to helm Glee's Michael Jackson tribute? Let us know in the comments!
