Could it be that the cool show for guest appearances is going to be Glee? It well may be the case after Kristin Chenoweth's musical showstopper last October. Kristin's Tony-award winning costar from Wicked, Idina Menzel, wants to do Glee. How do we know? Her husband, Private Practice's Taye Diggs, confirmed it.

There's more to it than just that. Apparently the Glee fans -- Gleeks -- have noticed the remarkable resemblance between Idina and Lea Michele.

Why, she could be/play Lea's mother! They look alike and they are both big time Broadway belters. We've heard Lea's incredibly rendition of "Defying Gravity," the song that made Idina a star, on Glee, too.

What about Idina? Have you heard her? Does she not sound like Lea? Have a listen:





My guess is that the smart Ryan Murphy-led team at Glee are already at work on this casting coup. Now, whether they choose to make Idina the biological mother that Rachel's never met is still to be determined. That's what many fans are hoping for, because thus far, we've heard a lot about Rachel's two dads. There's been nothing about her mother.

Hmm... I like it. What about you?
