Barbra Streisand is set to extend on her return to acting, by taking on a guest-starring role in hit sitcom Will & Grace.

Streisand is currently finishing off work as Ben Stiller's sex therapist mother in Meet The Parents sequel Meet The Fockers, after a long absence from the silver screen.

And now she is expected to follow in the footsteps of Cher, Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson by taking on a role in Will & Grace - news which has proved to be all too exciting for the show's Emmy-winning star Debra Messing. The redhead actress says, "If she comes on the show, forget about it! Barbra, please come!" Messing admits she "burst into tears" when Streisand greeted her at a concert a number of years ago.

You Said

Too bad the show will still suck.

What a great thing it used to be though.

Why do you think it's gone downhill? I haven't watched as much recently. I always think it should have just been the "Jack and Karen Show."

Because they recycle the same jokes, the same plots, and the same mannerisms over and over again. You can see a definite slide in quality after season four. The quality of the writing has slipped, and it seems like the actors are now just trying to run out their contracts.

Yeah, it has lost something. I haven't watch the recent season...

I'd just be tickled if Babs would go the "Fock" away.

Yay! I am glad Chuck agrees with me on this...to be honest, I think the show "jumped the shark" when Harry Connick Jr came on....now, I am not knocking the eye candy that IS Harry Connick, Jr - but that is about the time that I thought the show went to crap.
