After all the rumors that were swirling around about will she do it or not, Idina Menzel, the star from Broadway, will officially be on Glee’s set to film her role for the upcoming episodes this season.

Lea Michele, Glee star tweeted, I’m on the set with Idina Menzel. She is so lovely and I’m very happy to have her on the show.

Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, also provided some details for the character of Menzel to Michael Ausiello, resident Gleek for Entertainment Weekly, who shot the originally rumor down of Menzel playing the biological mother of Rachel, Michele’s character.

Murphy told Entertainment Weekly that he wasn’t going to do that. Her part was written as kind of Faye Dunaway in Network. She will be playing Vocal Adrenaline’s female coach. That is who she will be playing.

Menzel will appear during the first episode after the show returns to the air on April 13 as well as the season finale when the kids are participating with New Directions in their regional showdown.

Kristin Chenoweth, Menzel’s co-star in Wicked, appeared in an earlier episode this season. She sang a cover of “Alone” the hit from Heart, along with Matthew Morrison.

Is the Glee tour coming to a city that’s near you?

The creator of the Golden Globe award winning television series, Ryan Murphy, has confirmed that Glee’s cast will go on tour this summer.

Murphy, speaking to television critics visiting Glee’s set in Los Angeles said, we will do a tour. Yes, we are touring.

I really can’t say anything more right now. However in the next few weeks there will be an announcement about dates and the places where we’ll be touring.

They will be very busy beavers, Murphy added, pointing to the cast. In April we will finish shooting. Then we will be doing a very select kind of small tour this summer.

Gleeing will be finishing its first season with a nine new episode run beginning April 13 on FOX. The second season for the show has been ordered already.

In addition, Murphy confirmed that he had plans for a meeting with Jennifer Lopez so they could talk about her possibly making a guest appearance on Glee.

Murphy said, she is a Glee fan, and I’m one of her fans. We will have dinner so we can discuss it. I would love to get her to play some great cafeteria lady and have Kurt (played by Chris Colfer), make her over into a sensation like Susan Boyle or something.

Reports are that Neil Patrick Harris has narrowed in on a deal for appearing in a May sweeps episode of Glee being directed by Joss Whedon, his director from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

Harris reportedly does want to be on the show and Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, definitely wants him. A role is being created especially for the scene stealer of How I Met Your Mother. The role does include some song and dance. The gig, in fact, would reunited Harris with Zachary Woodlee, choreographer for the musical number for the recent 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother, as well as with Whedon.

One potential snag- there always seems to have to be one- is CBS will need to approve the appearance of their MVP on the breakout FOX hit. However Glee and How I Met Your Mother are both 20th Century Fox produced, so on their end there is no conflict.
