Love And Other Drugs star Anne Hathaway is meeting with Ryan Murphy over the next few weeks to talk about a possible role on his hit TV show Glee.

Ryan told MTV news, "I'm meeting with Anne in the next couple weeks. We're not going to do guest stars at all the first half of the season, but I would love to work with her and she supposedly has the whole thing mapped out. I'm curious as to what she wants to do. I love her. I think she's great."

Anne told Jimmy Fallon that she wants to play Kurt's lesbian aunt on the show. "I would love to be on 'Glee'. Can I make a confession? In my head I've written a part for myself! It's so arrogant and obnoxious, it's like, 'Ryan Murphy no one else wants to be on your show.' But in my head I've cast myself and I know which song I'd sing. I would want to play Kurt's long-lost aunt, his mother's sister who is also gay, who comes back to help him deal with his sexuality and I would sing 'No One Is Alone' from Stephen Sondheim's epic show 'Into the Woods'."

Murphy and Hathaway met at the Golden Globes and organised a meeting, 'She walked by our table and we have a mutual friend and I said, "Do you really want to do it?" And she said, "I do." And I said, "OK, we're gonna do it,"' Murphy told Access Hollywood.

But Anne was reportedly kept waiting for a phonecall from the Golden Globe-winning creator. "Ryan Murphy goes, 'Anne Hathaway! Come on Glee.' And I said, 'Yes!' and he said 'Fab, I'll call you.' Anne told Buzz Sugar. "He went back to the press room and said, 'Anne Hathaway is going to be on the show.' And I never heard from him again. Ryan Murphy, I'm calling you out: I want to be on Glee. I've got my songs picked out."

Looks like Anne's a bigger Gleek than we are!
