UPDATE: An astute reader points out this is Leah Michele singing “Make You Feel My Love” Adele-style. That’s even more of a tear jerker. Good for ratings.

Earlier: “Glee” will say good bye to Cory Monteith and his character Finn next week. By the looks of the clip, it will be a maudlin affair. The music is Adele singing Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” from her 19 album (the one with “Chasing Pavements”). “Glee” is starting to fade in the ratings but this episode is sure to be its big last stand at the top of the charts.

Miley Cyrus’s pictures, taken by artist Terry Richardson, are a hit. I don’t know what the purpose of them is. Miley’s album has already gotten publicity. It will live or die based on the music. We’ve — trust me– forgotten all about Hannah Montana by now. She is dead and buried. I think this may be over the top but maybe there’s more. It’s hard to imagine Billy Ray Cyrus thinking any of this is a good idea. But we give the people what they want. Every artist can’t be classy.

Cyndi Lauper’s Tony winning Broadway musical “Kinky Boots” has recouped its investment in a record 30 weeks. The show was capitalized at $13.5 million. In June, “Kinky Boots”– written with Harvey Fierstein–won six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Actor for Billy Porter. It co-stars Stark Sands, who’s also in this winter’s Coen Bros. movie “Inside Llewyn Davis.” Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig are the proud producers. By the way, not only is “Kinky Boots” in the top 3 of the Broadway box office every week, the CD recording of the show is a monster hit. I think now Cyndi, the hardest working woman in pop music, can come off the road and enjoy her success!

Here’s another voice in the mess Mia Farrow and Maureen Orth caused this week. Barbara Sinatra, widow of Frank, was reached by The Desert Sun in Palm Springs yesterday. Barbara, who published a memoir last year, called the “possibility” that Mia’s son Ronan was fathered by Frank and not Woody Allen: “A phony deal.”

Barbara told the Sun:  “It’s just a bunch of junk. There’s always junk written — lies that aren’t true.”

Sinatra also told the paper that Ronan was left nothing in Frank’s will. Sinatra died in 1998 when Ronan was 11 years old.

As I wrote yesterday, when Ronan– originally named Satchel– was conceived in March-April 1987, Farrow was shooting “September” with Woody in Connecticut. She wrote in her memoir “What Falls Away,” that she was Allen’s “constant companion.” The movie “September” was shot and then re-shot with a different cast. Mia was in both casts. Sinatra was performing in Las Vegas. He was 71 years old. Randy as Sinatra was, he wasn’t a time traveler.

Orth is the worst kind of journalist. She’s colluded with Farrow to “get” Woody Allen. She questions nothing that Farrow tells her for the Vanity Fair article. She simply accepts and presents it. Why didn’t she call Barbara Sinatra? Or look into the timeline of where both people were physically in that time period?

I’ll tell you why: because she didn’t care if it was true. Nice work.
