Lea Michele's character is graduating this season on Glee, so it's not the craziest idea that she re-audition on The Glee Project to return to the show.

Ah, we kid. Of course Rachel Berry will be back in season four, without competing on The Glee Project. But Michele is still going to pop up on the Oxygen reality series this summer...

Lea will appear in the premiere episode of The Glee Project's just-announced second season as a guest mentor. The series just began filming earlier this week, and Michele is the first of what will surely be many Glee castmember cameos to come.

She tweeted this weekend to her followers: "So excited to announce that I'll be guest mentoring on the season 2 premiere of ‘The Glee Project!'"

The Glee spinoff searches for the next multi-episode guest star on the Fox hit, with 14 contenders vying for the final prize. Glee creator Ryan Murphy will return as a judge, along with producer Dante Di Loreto, choreographer Zach Woodlee and vocal coach Nikki Anders.

The Glee Project's second season premieres this summer on Oxygen.

Great pick for the first mentor of the season, right Gleeks?
