Barbie is the biggest movie of 2023, and some Gleeks are noticing a connection between the pink-hued masterpiece and the hit musical TV show.

It’s been eight years since the final episode of Glee aired, but this connection has spurred the belief that, if the two projects exist in the same universe, one of the characters is thriving in Hollywood.

There’s also a pretty good chance that you missed the connection!

No, that character is not Lea Michele‘s Rachel Berry or any of the members of the New Directions. However, co-stars and former members of the show choir Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz reacted to the news on a recent episode of their And That’s What You REALLY Missed podcast.

The cast of Glee reunited to pay tribute to late co-star Naya Rivera and you can watch the video right here!

16 members of the cast gathered on Zoom to talk about their favorite memories of Naya on the 10-year anniversary of her character Santana Lopez coming out as a lesbian on network TV. The reunion was part of the 2021 GLAAD Media Awards, which aired on Thursday (April 8).

Demi Lovato, who played Santana’s girlfriend Dani on Glee, opened the tribute. She said, “I will always cherish the chance I got to play Naya‘s girlfriend, Dani, on Glee. The character Naya played, Santana Lopez, was groundbreaking for closeted queer girls, like I was at the time. Her ambition and accomplishments inspired Latina women all over the world.”

The cast members who then participated in the reunion included Jacob Artist, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Jessalyn Gilsig, Dot-Marie Jones, Vanessa Lengies, Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale, Heather Morris, Matthew Morrison, Alex Newell, Lauren Potter, Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr., Becca Tobin, and Jenna Ushkowitz. Notably absent were Lea Michele and Dianna Agron.

The reunion ended with Jessalyn reading a note written by Naya‘s mom.

Glee star Lauren Potter got engaged to her childhood friend turned beau Timothy Spear over the summer, but they have split.

“It hurts,” the 26-year-old actress said to People. She added that he ended things over the holidays. “After we got married I wanted to wake up and see him make breakfast for me. I loved him so much.”

“He did not like the publicity,” Robin Sinkhorn, Lauren‘s mom, added. “It was overwhelming.”

To keep her spirits up, Lauren told the publication she’s been on a few dates, and has been hitting the gym. She’s also been working with a job coach, and will appear on the April 11 finale of Switched at Birth.

A congrats is in order for Glee alum Lauren Potter!

The 26-year-old actress just got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Timothy Spear over a picnic in Laguna Beach, Calif.

“He picked out the ring, made payments on it, and then planned the picnic and the moment to get down on one knee to ask her to promise to be his one-and-only and marry him when they are ready,” Lauren‘s mom Robin Sinkhorn told People. “Then they watched the sunset together.”

Congrats to the happy couple on the exciting news!
