Filipino-Mexican-American singer Jessica Sanchez is said to be in talks to become a cast member of the hit teenage musical dramedy "Glee." According to a report of the Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, "Glee" is "thisclose" to adding Idol Season 11 first runner-up Sanchez for a "multiepisode arc in its upcoming fourth season." The report said Sanchez, 16, would likely join "Glee" midway after "American Idol" completes its summer concert tour. The two shows — "American Idol" and "Glee" — are both produced by Fox. Quoting a report of the entertainment site TV Line, the Hollywood Reporter said the "details on Sanchez's character are being kept under wraps."
