Kurt Gets a BF, Harris to Guest on Glee

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has the scoop on what’s coming next on Glee, including a boyfriend for Kurt and guest turns by Neil Patrick Harris and Jennifer Lopez.

Ausiello learned of the reported guest turn by Harris from the actor at this weekend’s Golden Globes. The out actor is reportedly set to appear in an episode to be directed by Joss Whedon during May sweeps.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy is said to be creating a role especially for Harris.

An executive producer for the show also revealed that Lopez is in negotiations to guest-star as a singing cafeteria worker.

"Lopez wants to do the show, so I’m going to meet with her. In the past couple of months, a lot of people are coming out saying they love the show. ... But I don’t want to stunt-cast too much, because I think the [musical] numbers are already so extravagant.”

But the biggest news to come from Ausiello is that Kurt (Chris Colfer) will be getting a boyfriend this season.

“We just announced we’re doing a nationwide search for the season 2 cast, and [a boyfriend for Kurt is] one of the three roles that we’re adding. And we’re going to make them a power couple. We’re not going to do the whole hiding-in-the-shadows thing. We’re going to make them popular, and out and proud and glamorous. Like prom king and king. We’re doing the opposite of what’s been done.”

Glee took home the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series.
