Will Susan Boyle Take J. Lo's Glee Leftovers?

Way back in January, Glee creator Ryan Murphy revealed that he was trying to lure Jennifer Lopez to McKinley High, only instead of creating a meaty role for her -- like a recovered crack addict with an affection for Billy Joel, an alcoholic with a crush on Schue or Rachel Berry's bio-mom -- he wanted her to play a lunch lady. Months after she apparently passed on the part (J. Lo does not scoop mashed potatoes for anyone!), Murphy is trying to force her leftovers on Susan Boyle.

Murphy told EW that he's pitched bringing Boyle aboard to guest star in the part, which would be convenient since Boyle shares the same record label as the Glee-mates (who are considering releasing a Christmas album, by the way).

"I have two words for you: Lunch. Lady," Murphy said to EW. "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."

Coincidentally, the news comes a day after the Glee episode in which Boyle would have perhaps been best cast. In last night's episode, Rachel and her mother sang "I Dreamed a Dream," the song that made the Britain's Got Talent alum a YouTube sensation.
