Thia Megia Sings US National Anthem in Pacquiao-Marquez Match; Trends on Twitter

Filipino-American and American Idol 10 finalist Thia Megia recently sang Star-Spangled Banner, the US National Anthem, in the Pacquiao vs Marquez boxing match  held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on November 12, 2011.

"Thia Megia" trended on Twitter in the Philippines on the day of the fight. Pinoys were evidently so proud of the singer singing the American Anthem.

A WhatTheTrend.com description on why she trended said "...Thia Megia will be playing Sunshine's sister in a [sic] upcoming episode of "Glee"." But we're not so sure about that. WhatTheTrend descriptions are almost always fan-generated that sometimes they are even not related to the trending topic at all.

Come to think of it, Thia Megia on Glee is not a bad idea at all!

What's sure, though, is Thia's riding the ZhuZhu Pets Float at the Thanks Giving Parade in New York City three weeks from now. She sang the ballad One Day for the soundtrack of ZhuZhu Pets, an animated film being released this Holiday season.

Charice Returns to "Glee"?

The Chasters were saddened when it was reported that guest stars wouldn't be a part of Glee anymore. But Ryan Murphy, co-creator and producer of the show, gave some hope about the matter on his interview with Inquirer Entertainment.

Ryan Murphy said that the storyline of Charice's character hasn't had any closure yet so she might come back towards the end of season 3.

Charice plays the character of Sunshine Corazon, an Asian exchange student who auditioned and passed for the glee club New Directions. She transferred to another school, though, to join the Vocal Adrenaline to escape Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) who was bullying her.

At the end of season 2, Sunshine and Rachel had somehow patched things up, Rachel even became Sunshine's "strength" during her performance with the Vocal Adrenaline.

Meanwhile, Harry Shum Jr.'s character Mike Chang was finally given a "speaking part" in the show (imagine having no dialogue for 2 seasons!). He also had his own song and dance number. Finally!

The show's earlier decision to stop having guest stars was to give the other characters (like Harry's) a chance to shine.

But would Charice really be coming back? Or will Ryan Murphy change his mind again?
