Idina Menzel to Guest Star on Private Practice
Taye Diggs is bringing his home to work with him.
The Private Practice star's real-life wife, Tony winner Idina Menzel, will guest star on the ABC series later this season, TV Guide reports.
In multiple episodes, Menzel will play the mother of a patient tended to by Pete (Tim Daly). To hear one source tell it, Pete's special brand of "bedside manner" might bring about an attraction between him and Menzel's character.
At this early stage, it's unclear if Idina Menzel and her main man, who plays Sam Bennett on the Grey's Anatomy spinoff, will share many scenes.
Menzel first met Taye Diggs back in 1995, when they were both cast in the New York Theatre Workshop production of Rent.
They went on to costar in two other stage productions, including Broadway's Wicked (for which Menzel won a Tony, playing "bad witch" Elphaba).
Menzel's most recent TV gig was a pair of episodes of 2005's Kevin Hill, which starred - wait for it - a handsome fella named Taye Diggs.

I sincerely hope that this guest star does not have a 'thing' with Pete. I am a Violet/Pete supporter all the way! I want to see more of the Pete and Violet romance play out. Especially if the baby is his. (It better be). I want those two together!
