Cheryl Cole to Guest on GLEE's Season 4

According to the UK's Daily Star, Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole is set for a guest appearance on the upcoming fourth season of FOX's GLEE. While rumors of the news have been circulating for months, GLEE stars Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison now confirm that the show's producers are very interested in making it happen. 

Jane Lynch, who portrays coach Sue Sylvester on the show, revealed, “There’s been talk on set of Cheryl appearing for a year or so, but it’s set to happen now. Matthew’s spoken very highly of her and the younger guys on set are keen to have her on, for obvious reasons."

She continued, "Cheryl’s the perfect Glee fit, she can sing, she can dance and she looks good. It would be cool if she played herself. She might be used to getting treated like a princess but Sue Sylvester doesn’t make exceptions for anybody. If Cheryl starts acting like a diva, she’ll see that Sue is meaner than Simon Cowell.”

Added Matthew Morrison, “Cheryl is a beautiful woman, America is starting to really know her. A lot of stars want to appear on Glee and actually ask the show. So the fact producers want Cheryl says a lot about what they think of her talent.”

Cole recently spoke about the possibility of creating a musical based on Girls Alive, the girl group of which she is a part. Girls Aloud was created through the ITV1 talent show Popstars The Rivals in 2002. The group consists of Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. They are signed to Fascination Records, a Polydor imprint. The group achieved a string of twenty consecutive top ten singles, including four number ones, and two number one albums in the United Kingdom.

Girls Aloud's collaborations with Brian Higgins and his songwriting and production team Xenomania have earned the group critical acclaim, due to an innovative approach to mainstream pop music. The group has become one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, amassing a fortune of £25 million by May 2010.
