Janel Parrish to Guest Star on Heroes

Say this about the growing number of new cast members and guest stars on Heroes: it’s an eclectic bunch.

There’s a former Alias star who is now a series regular: David Anders.

There’s a Star Trek veteran of the big screen coming aboard for a few episodes: Nichelle Nichols.

And now there’s Janel Parrish, an actress from the recent Bratz: The Movie who will play May, the head cheerleader at Claire’s new school.

In addition to playing one of the leads in Bratz, which opened to an underwhelming $4.2 million at the box office two weekends ago, Parrish wrote and recorded a song for the film’s soundtrack.

Maybe she can team up with Hayden Panettiere - another occasional singer - for a song-and-dance number on Heroes.
