Glee’s Jessalyn Gilsig Wants Bette Midler to Guest Star
February 26, 2010
With all the celebs flocking to the set of Glee for their guest spots, one of the show’s stars, Jessalyn Gilsig, says there’s one icon she’d love to see join the cast for a little song and dance.
“Bette Midler should be on the show,” said Gilsig, who plays Terri Schuester, at the Costume Design Guild Awards Thursday. “I’d want her to be my aunt or something. You can imagine Bette Midler as a kid. She must have been one of these Glee kids. She must have been so misunderstood and struggled so much, but she’s driven the same way Rachel is driven. I think she would be a good fit.”
Still astounded by the overwhelming success the show has seen, Gilsig says the cast couldn’t be happier. “It hasn’t even been a full season,” she says, adding with a giggle, “maybe we should quit while we’re ahead.”
Also excited about costar Matthew Morrison’s upcoming album, the actress says, “He can do anything from rap to a folk song with a ukulele. I’m just like ”˜When are we doing a duet on your album?’ He hasn’t asked me yet,” she jokes. “But fans want to hear it.” ”“Jessica Herndon
I have to say, I do love Glee. I should hate it, I was in the Glee Club in highschool, and we were not like that. Haha. But for some reason, I love it. I think it would be a cute show for her to be on.
So far they have commitments from Madonna and J-Lo, but I think Bette is a better fit….
Please, what is a Glee Club? Does it exist only in schools? I’m lost.
It can exist outisde of schools, too, I believe….or some form thereof. Usually a singing group with minimal accompaniment…. it’s also a hit TV show over here….
And you act really gleeful!!! LOL
Haha =] Its a club for drama and music geeks. I was part of the drama club also and I won 2 capa awards (High school version of the Tony) for my work in A Music Man and Your a Good Man Charlie Brown. It was a fun club and the TV show is really funny, and Im sorta addicted to the music. lol.
The TV show Glee???????????
Yes…
Bette should go on Glee and perform a Delores skit. The show is full of camp, and this would be the cherry and whip cream on that nice delicious chocolate hot fudge sundae. . .
Bette is too good for that show.
