Dot Marie Jones, who plays football Coach Beiste on "Glee," has joined Chelsea Handler's comedy pilot for NBC, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," as a guest star, according to TVGuide. The project is based on her book of the same name.

Jones will be playing a tough lesbian bully that Chelsea (Laura Prepon) meets and befriends in jail after being arrested for a D.U.I. Fun fact: The part was originally written with Rosanne Barr in mind.
