Being the president’s wife apparently has its perks.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that First Lady Michelle Obama has invited the cast of Glee to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 5 — and, barring any last-minute glitches, they’re gonna do it!
Rumor has it Mrs. O and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, Glee’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.

Glee star Lea Michele suffers for her art – the hit U.S. show’s energetic dance numbers have left her with recurring back spasms.
The 23 year old plays wannabe actress Rachel Berry in the popular musical comedy, which is based around an all-singing, all-dancing choir at a fictional Ohio high school.
And the tough routines have taken their toll on the former Broadway star, who has been left with damaged back muscles.
But Michele insists she can learn to live with the condition – because her job is so much fun.
She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “We all did this one dance number a couple of weeks ago that was extremely gruelling. Now I have back spasms every so often. I’ll be talking and be like, ‘Excuse me a minute,’ and my back will just spaz out. And then I’ll be fine. But we ignore it because we’re all just happy doing what we do. We don’t pay attention to our injuries.”

The cast of Glee reunited on set in LA yesterday after a whirlwind few weeks of awards show success at the Golden Globes and the SAGs. Dianna Agron caught up with Corey Monteith, while Mark Salling entertained himself with a miniature dirt bike nearby and Chris Colfer tooled around on his Razor scooter. Kevin McHale buried himself in a good book, and new fashion all-star Lea Michele traded couture for her casual wardrobe. The gang looked happy to be back together, though they’ll soon welcome new members into their fold – Jennifer Lopez is rumored to be making a cameo, while Molly Shannon is confirmed to play a guest-starring role as Jane Lynch’s nemesis.
