Santana (Naya Rivera) has an awfully talented family. EW already broke the news that the Glee character’s mother will be played by none other than Latin superstar Gloria Estefan,but now we can exclusively tell you who’s being wooed to play her brother — rapper Pitbull! Yep, our source tells us that producers are hoping to land the “Give Me Everything” rapper to play Estefan’s son and Rivera’s big bro.
One other development is that Estefan and other buzzed-about Glee guest-star Ricky Martin will NO longer be appearing in the same episode. Martin will be getting his own episode in January while Estefan’s (and hopefully Pitbull’s) ep will air later this winter. The change was made so that there could be a giant family musical number in the Estefan episode.
And now for some scoop that Gleeks have been dying to hear: the show is beginning to cast for… RACHEL’S GAY DADS!!! Yep, it sounds like we will see the much-discussed-but-never-seen-duo by the end of season 3. I mean, they gotta be present for Rachel’s graduation day at the very least. Who do you think Glee producers should cast?

How about hiring actors instead of stunt-casting?
ReplyDeleteI've wanted Christopher Sieber to play one of Rachel's dads since the first series, I bet I'm disappointed.
ReplyDeleteRachel's dads should be interesting!
ReplyDeletewhat happened to no super-charged guest stars?
ReplyDeletelol XD I don't like Pitbull at all... :/ Gloria Estefan YES! but Pitbull??? :/
ReplyDeleteI just want a scene with her parents and Klaine...
ReplyDeleteAND ARGH! I freaken LOVE season 3 and I feel like its gonna suck... but HEY Bones was awesome and when they lost it it became super popular... so maybe its a good thing but me rather have great s3 and no s5 (cause s4 is kinda done deal what ever happens)
I think they meant that they wont make an episode about a guest star. Like they did with the drunk chick and sub teacher.
ReplyDeleteLike what they did with Sam's dad this season, big actor but it was a small part. the scene nor the episode wasnt about him. It was perfect. :DDD
But that would be a sound, reputable decision and this is Glee we're talking about.
ReplyDeleteI am part of the John Barrowman and Taye Diggs campaign on Facebook to play her dads.
ReplyDeletei couldn't agree more...i understand the gloria casting she is a singer and what not but really pitbull?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Taye Diggs as one of Rachel's dads...
ReplyDeleteSince Glee can't seem to kick its addiction to ridiculous stunt casting, they might as well embrace it. I hereby vote for...
ReplyDeleteIce Cube and Trace Adkins
... as Rachel's dads.
i-i don't know what to say..
ReplyDeleteI want Nathan Lane ...
ReplyDeleteI want Nathan Lane
