It’s been reported on Refinery29 New York that Idina will be participating in this year’s “Fashion’s Night Out,” the biggest public fashion show in New York City and the largest shopping event of the year. She will be joining Bravo’s Project Runway host Michael Kors at his Madison Avenue boutique for a few duets. Apparently, Mr. Kors is a singer! Who knew?

Fashion’s Night Out is September 10th. Kors’ event has not yet announced a time. Check back for more details soon!

Yesterday, Idina was the dinner entertainment at a high-dollar glitzy fundraiser for the Democratic Party held in a private residence in Los Angeles. President Obama was in attendance, as was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a number of other Washington and Hollywood heavy-hitters. This marks the second time Idina has been invited to perform for President Obama, and the fourth time she has performed for the incumbent President (Clinton during RENT, Bush at the Kennedy Center Honors, Obama at the White House, and this event). Not too shabby!

You can read about this event in the LA Times.

p.s. I hadn’t posted about this here yet since I had hoped we’d get some photos, but none have surfaced. Darn private events.

The Sesame Workshop put out a press release today announcing the 41st season of children’s television classic Sesame Street. They have confirmed that Idina and Taye will be guest stars on an upcoming episode and will be in the “Word of the Day” segment, presenting the word “allergic.” A still from the episode has also been revealed, though the air date for their episode has not yet been confirmed (we’ll tweet it when we know). Cute!

In case you missed E!’s report on this back in March, you can watch a quick clip from the Sesame set below.

It was announced today that Idina will be replacing fellow Broadway legend Patti LuPone as the guest vocalist for the National Symphony Orchestra Pops season opening weekend October 28-30 at Washington, DC’s Kennedy Center.

Hot on the heels of her sold-out performance with the NSO at Wolf Trap in July, Tony winner Idina Menzel (Wicked) opens the NSO Pops season with Principal Pops Conductor Marvin Hamlisch in a diverse program of classic pop, musical theater favorites (including hits from Wicked and Rent) and her own original stories and songs. A powerhouse of talent, the Glee favorite constantly amazes audiences with her compelling, humorous, and emotional performances.

In a statement Idina said, “I am delighted to return to the National Symphony Orchestra so quickly, and especially to open the NSO’s Pops Season with Marvin Hamlisch. We all worked together for the first time just a few days ago at Wolf Trap, and we had a terrific time. I can’t wait to be with Marvin and the NSO again!”

Tickets go on sale to the public August 11th and are $20 – $85 and can be purchased (at that time) on the Kennedy Center’s website.

Today at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Glee creator/writer/director Ryan Murphy confirmed what we’ve all been hoping for:
