Josh Groban will be cast as Ed Helms’ (Andy’s) brother on the upcoming season of The Office.

E! Online reports there is no confirmation on how many episodes Josh will appear in the show. However, based on his appearance in Glee, he should be hilarious playing Helms’ brother. We hope to see a sing off.

Earlier this week on OWN’s the Gayle King Show, golden-voiced legend James Earl Jones (of Star Wars and CNN) recited the lyrics of Justin Bieber’s “Baby”.

It didn’t take long for Lucas-heads to developed a video to go with it.

This soon-to-be Bieber classic was given such raw emotion by Jones, that it immediately brings to mind other recent renditions of modern classics. Remember when Josh Groban sung Kanye West’s tweets in his flawless tenor? Or how about Christopher Walken bedazzled the world with his reading of Lady Gaga’s beloved “Poker Face”?

Shatner… the ball is in your court now.
