Report: Boyle Offered Ugly Betty Cameo

British tabloid The Sun is reporting that Scottish Singing sensation Susan Boyle has indeed been offered a cameo part on Ugly Betty.

It was just too perfect, and SoBoo, as they call her, is still quite popular in the states, so this could be one of the better stunt-casting decisions made by the show.

The Sun reports that producers contacted Boyle about a month ago.

A source close to the star said: “Susan has been bombarded with offers of work in America, but this is something she is really keen on and we hope to make happen.

She will definitely play herself.”

I still hope she’s somehow “related” to Ashley Jensen’s Christina. And I’d love to see a speechless moment of recognition between Susan and Betty.

Now, as you may know, Susan was supposed to come to the US to tour after the final of Britain’s Got Talent, but she had what the tabloids term a breakdown.

She has since missed a string of dates on the BGT tour as she conserves her energy to record her debut album. Susan’s spokeswoman said: “Susan has many offers on the table. At the moment she is looking forward to recording her album.”

I think this could be done worth a laugh or two, and maybe bring a half a point in the ratings if done right. Plus, I’m dying to see what the writers and producers do with the “idea” of Susan Boyle. Hopefully, she’ll acccept.
