Glee creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that Julia Roberts is a fan of the show. Murphy explained that he had worked with the actress on a film and had shown her the programme. "I just finished a movie with Julia, Eat, Pray, Love," he told E! News.

"She saw the rough cuts and fell in love with the show. I don't know if Julia's going to do it - maybe. But she loves the show." Murphy also confirmed that Kristin Chenoweth will reprise her role as April Rhodes, but added that he has had to turn down several people who want a cameo on the show.

"We've had to say no to a lot of American Idol contestants who have called," he said. "I'm shocked how many. Not just this season, but past seasons."Former American Idol contestant Todrick Hall recently admitted that he is campaigning for a role in the show.
