So Does Barbra Streisand Really Hate Glee?

Diva responds to Glee-bashing controversy, says she should have been more careful in choice of words

Is Barbra Streisand really joining Kings of Leon on the Glee diss train?

Not so fast.

At the pre-Grammy MusiCares event Friday night, Streisand was asked if she would ever consider doing an episode of Glee and replied, "Not if I can help it. " Needless to say, Gleeks went apoplectic (especially considering show star and professed Streisand fan  Lea Michele performed a tribute to Streisand that night).

Now Streisand is doing a quick backpedal clarification...

"When asked if I would ever appear on Glee, I should have said, 'You never know.' It was wrong to say, "Not if I can help it," Streisand said Sunday in a statement to E! News.

"What I meant was that I've been overwhelmed preparing for my performance on MusiCares, the Grammys, recording a new album, and starting a new movie. So I couldn't take on any more work, and besides that, I wasn't asked. I'm so honored that a lead character on Glee is so admiring of my work. In my speech at MusiCares, I thanked them 'for exposing young people to music they might otherwise not hear today: Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Darren Criss…you're all so gifted.'

And there you have it.
