As reported yesterday, Cyndi Lauper will be guest starring on an episode of As the World Turns. Look for the singer to perform on July 3.

After taping her episode this week, Lauper spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the pair of actors/characters she spent the most time with: Van Hansis as Luke and Jake Silbermann as Noah.

''I think they're young, these guys, and they're sweet,'' the singer said. ''They're taking their time and struggling with the heart issues, which is even more endearing than just being like the straight couples, half-naked and having sex all over the place. The best way to people is through the heart, and that's why I think it's kind of interesting the way they've done it. It's about love.''
