“Drag Race” Diva Shangela Says Halleloo To “Glee!”

By now Glee has become infamous for its guest stars, from Broadway talents like Idina Menzel and Cheyenne Jackson to Hollywood stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson. Joining these esteemed ranks next Thursday is none other than Shangela, one of our favorite contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

On November 29, Shangela (born D.J. “Shangela) will appear on the musical-comedy series’ Thanksgiving episode. Details are tight, but Shangela does say her scene involves  a group dance sequence to “Let’s Have a Kiki.” The reality star shared on HuffPo that, “I light up brighter than a holiday tree at Pier One Imports every time I even think about,” filming the episode.

In addition to mixing it up with series costars Lea Michelle, Chris Colfer and Dean Geyer, Shang got to cut a rug with guest star Sarah Jessica Parker. “[She] did an entire four-hour rehearsal in the cutest Manolo Blahnik pumps!” gagged the drag darling. “There were moments when even I had to say to myself, “Bitch, is this really happening right now?!?”

Oh, it’s happening, Shang—now don’t %$&@ it up!
