'Glee' club goes national

In what has to be the best story I've heard in a long time the "Glee" cast is going on a short national tour. I'm already on hold for my tickets.

The tour will feature all the young stars who play McKinley High's underdog glee club. It's a little disappointing that Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch won't be participating but I can always hope for a surprise on stage appearance.

Now I just have to figure out how to trick Tim into the theater and make him sit through the show. For more information on dates and cities click here.

Moore 'As the World Turns'

Oscar nominated actress Julianne Moore is one of the tens of movie stars who got their start on soaps. Now Moore is returning to her former stomping grounds for a cameo on "As the World Turns."

Moore won a Daytime Emmy for playing Frannie and Sabrina Hughes. She will be reprising one or maybe both of those roles in a short walk on role. The Hughes family is a core family on "ATWT" so it's nice that she comes home as the show prepares to end.

So many former soap stars like to pretend that their past never happened, as a longtime soap fan I am extra supportive of those actors who wear their daytime pasts like a badge of honor.

West to be new 'Nikita's' Michael

"ER" star Shane West has been cast as Michael in The CW's new show "Nikita." As a huge fan of USA Network's "La Femme Nikita" I have a hard time imagining anyone beside Roy Dupuis as Michael. However, it really all depends on the chemistry between West and Maggie Q, who was been cast as Nikita.

The new Jim Rockford

After shelving its "Prime Suspect" remake due to casting issues NBC has found an actor for its other classic TV update. Dermot Mulroney has gotten the role of Jim Rockford in NBC's "Rockford Files" remake.

Mulroney who is known for the films "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "The Wedding Date" previous television credits include a short arc on "Friends."
