Justin Timberlake will Join Glee

It may only be in its first (albeit wildly successful) season, but Fox's Golden Globe-winning dramedy "Glee" has already scored several high-profile cameos, from Kristin Chenoweth and Eve to the recently announced Jennifer Lopez.

As if that weren't enough, one "Glee" star has her sights set on the hottest ex-boybander to have ever dated both Britney Spears and Jessica Biel.

"I would love Justin Timberlake to come on the show," Lea Michele revealed to MTV News while on the rain-soaked red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards.

"He's an amazing comedic actor, as well as an incredible singer and dancer, and that's very 'Glee.'"

Casting Justin would be very "Glee" indeed, and Lea's even got an idea for a storyline involving Mr Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and JT.

"I think that he and Matt could have a nice little dance-off - what do you think?"

I think, yes! A million times yes! Now, to choose the soundtrack for this continuously looping fantasy that will be playing in my mind for the next however long it takes to actually make this happen.

"FutureSex/LoveSounds" or "Rock Your Body" - Decisions, decisions.
