Whatever happened to JLo? Because apparently, Ryan Murphy is considering the possibility of Susan Boyle playing McKinley High’s lunch lady. It would make sense, considering JLo was supposed to have a “Susan Boyle-esque” rise to fame. Whoever thought they’d go straight to the Youtube sensation herself?
When asked about Susan, Ryan Murphy replied: “I have two words for you: Lunch. Lady. I think Kurt would just die to give her a Christmas makeover. I don’t even know if she’s interested but it’s been pitched.”
I guess it would work out, since both Boyle and Glee are signed to the Columbia record label. What do you think? Would Susan Boyle make a good gleek? Are you bummed JLo potentially got kicked/politely declined? Sound off below!
Check out this interview with Jennifer Lopez where she talks about her upcoming guest appearance on Glee. She says that she would be willing to give them her entire catalog to work with because she’s a huge fan of the show herself. Awesome! Do you think we’ll have a JLo episode somewhere in Season 2?
Michael Ausiello of EW.com’s The Ausiello Files spoke with Ryan Murphy just moments before Glee‘s Golden Globe win! Maybe Murphy had been sipping on the champagne all evening, because he lot a LOT of spoilers slip! Here’s what he had to say about two of the new characters they’re going to cast and which celebs they’d like to have on the show!
* Kurt’s gonna get lucky. “We just announced we’re doing a nationwide search for the season 2 cast, and [a boyfriend for Kurt is] one of the three roles that we’re adding. And we’re going to make them a power couple. We’re not going to do the whole hiding in the shadows thing. We’re going to make them popular, and out and proud and glamorous. Like prom king and king. We’re doing the opposite of what’s been done.” But wait, there’s more: “We’re also casting sort of a Eve Harrington [from All About Eve] to kind of steal Rachel’s thunder a little. So those are two of the three.”
* He’s gonna keep us seeing stars. “We got Olivia [Newton-John],” he recounts. “She’s going to come on and do ‘Physical’ with Jane Lynch. Jennifer Lopez wants to do the show, so I’m going to meet with her. In the past couple of months, a lot of people are coming out saying they love the show and would I meet with them and write something. But I don’t want to stunt-cast too much, because I think the [musical] numbers are already so extravagant. If I do Jennifer, I would want her to be, like, a lunch lady. And [exec producer] Brad Falchuk? s obsessed with having Bruce Springsteen on the show, so I’m sure we’ll go after him at some point.”

Update: I talked to a source at Fox and they confirmed that Jennifer Lopez HAS accepted the offer to be a cafeteria lunch lady on Glee. I wish J Lo was a lunch lady at my school!
