"Glee" just got 10 times more fabulous: The legendary Bette Midler has agreed to appear on the hit Fox musical.

On Monday night, creator Ryan Murphy asked Midler to guest-star on "Glee" onstage at the God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart Awards ceremony.

"I just asked the incredible Bette Midler to be on Glee in front of 1,000 people. I hope she says yes!" Murphy tweeted from the event. Muphy's dreams quickly came true when Midler happily accepted via Twitter, of course. "I should get out more," the actress quipped.





But before Midler can head to the set, the pair still needs to settle on a character.

"I have one vote for Rachel's grandmother...hmmmm," Midler tweeted. "I'm thinking, I'm thinking!!"





But with some of the Lima grads in New York, there's always the possibility that Midler will appear as herself.

Can you imagine anything more amazing than a 'Wind Beneath My Wings' duet between The Divine Miss M and Rachel Berry (Lea Michele)? Nope, neither can we.

Bette will add a good dimension to the ep she will be on. She is a very good singer and actress.

To any "Glee" fans who are anxiously awaiting Bette Midler's rumored guest appearance on the show: Don't worry — the actress is as well.

In October, creator Ryan Murphy publicly asked Midler to guest-star on Fox's musical series at a charity event, and then reiterated the invitation on Twitter.



But he apparently hasn't followed through.

"He mentioned it, but ... I'm still waiting for the call," Midler told Access Hollywood Friday during a press junket for her new movie, Parental Guidance. "But it's fine!"




Midler said she's been thinking about her appearance and even has a suggestion of how she could be written into the script.

"Maybe I could play Sue Sylvester's evil sister," she told Access Hollywood, praising the "hilarious" Jane Lynch, who plays the resentful coach.
