Barbra Sets the Record Straight

1. Regarding those absurd rumors that Barbra demanded the Staples Center be closed as she rehearsed for the Grammy Awards on Friday... she "tweeted" the following on Twitter:

How ridiculous to read that I shut down Staples Center during my rehearsal. Then who were the hundreds of people I was singing to?

2. Clarification on her 'Glee' statement to reporter at MusiCares Concert:

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.”

What I meant was that I’ve been overwhelmed preparing for my performances on MusiCares, the Grammys, recordings, and two movies. 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."
