Oct. 20 -- Theyll probably have to peel Jack (Sean Hayes) off the ceiling for this one: Cher is coming to visit Will & Grace this season.

Apparently the Believe songstress was flattered enough by Jacks obsession with her to grace the show with her personage. The diva shot a guest spot as herself on the Emmy-winning NBC sitcom on Tuesday, USA Today reports. NBC will air the episode, titled Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves, on Nov. 16, which just happens to be during sweeps.

Chers appearance will have Jack, Will (Eric McCormack), and Grace (Debra Messing) in a bit of tizzy, were sure. And were betting that resident diva Karen (Megan Mullally) will have plenty of snide things to say about the VIP visit.

After all, theres so much to dish about with the taller half of Sonny and Cher: her fashion sense, her extensive plastic surgery, her younger boyfriends, and especially pertinent on a show with two gay lead characters how slow she was to come around to accepting that her daughter, Chastity, is gay.
