Jessica Sanchez inks deal to join ‘Glee’, show creator confirms
It’s confirmed. Jessica Sanchez will join the fourth season of “Glee”.
Entertainment website TVLine.com reported on Monday (Tuesday morning, Manila time) that the “American Idol” runner-up “has closed a deal” to be a part of the popular musical series but provided no further details.
“Glee” creator Ryan Murphy confirmed the news on Twitter for the website’s reporter and shared an idea on the same post.
“Michael Ausiello broke news of Jessica Sanchez on Glee. With voices like Jessica, Lea, Naya, Melissa, Amber, and Jenna…Streisand episode?” Ryan tweeted following the report.
In late June, TVLine.com first reported that Jessica’s representatives were “close to signing a deal” for her to appear midway through season 4 of “Glee”.
The 17-year-old singer, whose mother Editha hails from Bataan, will be the second Filipino celebrity to appear on the show. During season 2, Charice made waves as exchange student Sunshine Corazon, the pint-sized diva who gave Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michele, a run for her money.
Jessica is currently preparing for the launch of her debut album with Interscope Records, set for release before Christmas.
