Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!
Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

Glee star Dianna Agron is adding writer to her resume – after selling her first movie screenplay.
The 23-year-old actress, who got her big break in the Golden Globe-winning musical series, admits she’s on a lucky streak after finding success with her first screenwriting venture.
She says, “Once a month, try something you don’t think you’d be good at .. You can find such happy surprises. Recently, I got the confidence to write a screenplay – a story about a guy who can’t say ‘I love you’ – and it’s been optioned! “The challenge is getting off your couch and doing it, making the conscious decision to put your (ideas) into motion. You can always find a reason not to try. But unless you become fully invested, you’ll never know what could happen.”
Glee picked up Best Comedy series but unfortunately Lea Michele lost to Toni Collette. Jane Lynch lost to Chloe Sevigny and Matthew Morrison was beat by Alec Baldwin but Glee picked up one of the big ones which is awesome!
Loads of photos to come tomorrow. It’s late now and I must sleep.
Dianna Agron and the cast of Glee have been nominated for a 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Award! Huge congratulations for the well deserved nod!
