The Princess Diaries: Glee Edition?

Playbill Online is reporting that a Princess Diaries reunion may take place on the popular show. It seems both Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway are rumored to be joining the show. According to the UK Daily Express, Andrews is being considered for the role of Kurt’s grandmother. Hathaway, meanwhile, is being offered the role of Kurt’s aunt according to the newspaper.

While this would be wonderful, I hesitate to believe this is real. When promoting her new movie “Love and Other Drugs,” Hathaway mentioned to one of the late night hosts that she would love to be on Glee. She had even scripted a role for herself. She imagined herself as Kurt’s long lost aunt, his mother’s sister. Who just so happened to be gay herself! She would help her nephew with his journey.

So, while this would be awesome, it is wise to take it with a grain of salt.

Can Glee Get Any MORE Awesome?

Seriously? First, it has a kick-ass cast singing some kick-ass songs. How can you not love Lea Michele’s Type-A, overachieving Rachel? Or Matt Morrison’s idealistic, passionate Will? Or Jayma Mays germaphobe, understanding, pining Emma? Or Chris Colfer’s talented, if a bit the stereotypical gay, Kurt?

And, of course, there is the sheer awesomeness that is Jane Lynch’s Sue Sylvester.

To add to the regular cast, there are the equally talented guest stars: Debra Monk. Victor Garber. Kristin Chenoweth. JOSH GROBAN. And there is the promise of more awesome to come: Idina Menzel, rumors about Neil Patrick Harris and Jennifer Lopez, and the reuniting of Spring Awakening lovers Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff. And Playbill has an article that made me ask the question in this post’s headline. It would seem the producers are now courting West End and BBC star John Barrowman for the show.

Captain Jack on Glee? Yes, please!

If you’ve never had the opportunity to hear Barrowman sing, YouTube him. He’s got a great voice and the credits to back it up: Sunset Boulevard, La Cage aux Folles, Beauty and the Beast, Godspell, etc. And he’d be great no matter what they decide to do with him—so long as it’s a recurring gig and not just for one episode.

Please, Glee producers. You have shown yourselves to be Master of the Awesome. Do not let Barrowman slip through your fingers!

Addendums

According to Zap2It.com's blog Korbi TV, apparently a role has been cast as a possible love interest for Secret Life of the American Teenager's Tom. And rumor has it she'll be introduced at Amy and Ben's wedding. So, I guess the Secret Wedding of the American Teenager is Amy and Ben's.

In light of this revelation, I guess we could play "Where's Waldo?" Last night's episode never did reveal where Mr. Molina was. Do you think he finally realized he was the only one who had any crumb of common sense in that school? And therefore, he ran far away?
