Matthew Morrison wants Simon Cowell and One Direction to make cameo appearances on 'Glee'.
The singer-and-actor thinks the band - which includes Zayn Malik, 21, Harry Styles, 20, Louis Tomlinson, 22, Liam Payne, 20, and Niall Horan, 20 - could join the comedy drama as students attending McKinley High School in Ohio.
Matthew - who plays teacher Will Schuester - told the Daily Star newspaper: "We have been so fortunate to have some great cameos, and to have One Direction on would be great for the show.
"They are not much older than High School age so we could have them as students. And I am sure the younger female cast members wouldn't object to their presence either."
The 35-year-old actor and his co-star Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) are also hoping for media mogul Simon - whose reality show 'X Factor' helped catapult the band into the spotlight in 2010.
He explained: "Both mine and Jane Lynch's dream cameo is Simon Cowell. So maybe the boys could bring their manager.
"It would make great TV seeing Sue Sylvester and Simon Cowell go head to head."
Some of One Direction's songs, including 'What Makes You Beautiful' and 'Live While We're Young', have previously been performed on 'Glee' but Matthew admitted he didn't know much about the group when they used their tracks and he is astonished at how far they have come since then.
He added: "I remember when the show covered 'What Makes You Beautiful' I had only just heard of One Direction.
"But since then they have pretty much gone one to take over the world!"

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his 50/50 co-star Seth Rogen are teaming up for a Christmas comedy. Director Jonathan Levine, who worked on their last movie, will also join the pair once again and Sony has confirmed filming for the untitled project is set t...

Matt Richardson has been voted the public's top 'weird crush' of 2014.
'The Xtra Factor' presenter has topped the annual poll conducted by heat magazine, coming ahead of singer Ed Sheeran, 'The Great British Bake Off' judge Paul Hollywood and 'Made in Chelsea's socially-awkward entrepreneur Francis Boulle.
Matt said: "I'm really happy. I really wanted it. A lot of people might be embarrassed about it, but I thought, 'I'm never going to be Torso of the Week, so I'd better win this one.' I campaigned quite hard, but Matt Edmondson was all like, 'I don't want to win it', and then started getting everyone to vote for him on the radio. But I still won. And I did it without a national radio show."
Last year's top weird crush, Russell Howard, didn't make this year's top ten, however, new entries include 'The Wrong Mans' star James Corden.
Other stars who made the list include TV magician Dynamo, comic John Bishop and 'EastEnders' actor Jake Wood.
heat editor Lucie Cave said: "Sexiness comes in all shapes, sizes, ages and smells, and at heat we like to celebrate the unconventional. So while 'Weird Crush' might sound like a backhanded compliment, it's actually the highest honour we can bestow."

'Hollyoaks' star James Sutton wouldn't "rule out" a reunion between John Paul McQueen and Craig Dean.
The lovebirds captured the imaginations of fans of the Channel 4 soap between 2006 and 2008 and James - who returned to 'Hollyoaks' in 2012 after a four-year absence - is open to his former on-screen lover, played by Guy Burnet, making a comeback.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Guy and I certainly worked well together. I think you'd have to ask him more than me. I know he's quite happily living out in LA, but never say never. We worked well together and we shot some stuff that we're both really proud and it was important at the time. I'd never rule it out. But it's not really my call."
Craig and John Paul were given a happy ending as they left the Chester to live together in Dublin, but John Paul returned to Hollyoaks village in December 2012.
James - who is currently at the centre of a heart-wrenching sexual assault storyline - insists he wasn't worried about returning without Guy and feels he is "good enough" to carry strong storylines himself.
He explained: "I'd like to think I'm experienced enough and good enough to stand on my own two feet, and not just be part of a couple. I don't mean to sound at all arrogant or derogatory to the relationship. I'd like to think I can hold my own and be the focus of the storyline and do a good job.
"I feel good about the work I'm doing right now. I feel very at ease, I don't feel particularly nervous about scenes ... I feel invigorated by the work I'm getting and the scripts I'm getting. It's just great to be back here and have people writing for me in such a wonderful, vivid way."
'Hollyoaks' airs weeknights at 6:30pm on Channel 4.

Boyband M.A.D are getting used to being mobbed by school girls in the street.
The group - made up of Michael Sutthakorn, AB Pryer and Dan Lewis - are Britain's newest teen pop act and have already scored a Top 40 hit with their debut single 'Toyboy'.
Band member Dan, who moved from his home in South Wales to London to join M.A.D, told BANG Showbiz: "It kind of scared me before I moved because I didn't know what was going to happen, but once we got Top 40 it was all worth it.
"Now when I to go out in Cardiff with my friends, my local town, I get bombarded by fans, it's unreal.
"I've enjoyed the attention from girls and every time I went home it got worse and worse. The first time there were five, then ten, now there are hundreds and I can't walk about or shop properly because so many people come up to me, but it's so much fun."
Dan, 17, was first discovered on Facebook by a music scout who watched videos of him singing and playing guitar, and the lads now have young girls follow them home from rehearsals.
He said: "Every morning before they go to school they're outside the apartment. I remember once I was in the lounge playing Fifa in my boxers and there was a fan waving at me I was like, 'Oh no'."
The band were once mistaken for boy band The Vamps in a McDonald's restaurant but say they're more of a cross between Busted and One Direction.
Dan added: "We met some of the bands from the Big Reunion in the recording studio and met 5ive. They gave us a lot of advice, telling us to enjoy it because the time flies.
"We're all very different people and have only known each other for half a year but it's all great fun and we're just like brothers now."
The band's new single 'Fame & TV' is out on Sunday, February 16.

Nadine Coyle has given birth to a baby girl.
The former Girls Aloud star and her fiancé Jason Bell have welcomed their first child into the world and announced the happy news on Twitter yesterday (10.02.14).
The singer told followers: "I am overjoyed to let you know our little girl is here. She is amazing! I love being a mammy & will fill you all in soon. Love Nadine Xx. (sic)"
The 28-year-old star was initially shocked when she realised she had fallen pregnant and expected one of her Girls Aloud band mates - which includes Sarah Harding, Kimberly Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts - to have a baby first.
Cheryl was quick to congratulate the couple and tweeted: "It is OFFICIAL!! There is a baby Aloud!!!!!! Congratulations @nadinecoylenow & Jason so amazing!! (sic)"
Nicola also added: "There is a little baby Aloud! Congratulations @NadineCoyleNow & Jason on your little baby Girl. I'm so happy she's here and healthy <3 xo. (sic)"
The pair started dating in 2008 and Jason, a former American footballer, popped the question over Christmas.
It is the second time the couple have been engaged, after the first ended in June 2011 because Nadine wanted to focus on herself before committing to marriage.
The brunette beauty told fans she was expecting a baby last summer and later confirmed she was back together with Jason, 35, after speculation over who the father was.
Nadine announced they were expecting a baby girl together on New Year's Day and posted a photograph of a duck-shaped balloon from her baby shower with the message: "It's a girl!" on her Instagram account.

Nigella Lawson and Trinny Woodall were involved in a war of words online yesterday (10.02.14).
The TV chef's ex-husband Charles Saatchi is now dating fashion expert Trinny, who appeared to mock Nigella in a blog marking her 50th birthday, seemingly making reference to when Charles put his hand around his ex-wife's neck at a London restaurant last year.
Trinny wrote: "It's great that, at 50, life can still grab you by the throat and shake you up.
"And it's even better when you've learned to cope with whatever's thrown at you -- so long as it isn't a bedside lamp."
The star, who is celebrating her birthday in the Lake District with Charles, then had another dig at Nigella, 54, who is known for her curvy figure, writing: "If you used to like showing your cleavage, just be aware your skin probably looks like old chammy leather now.
"So wear something round-necked. You can still show off your shape."
Nigella appeared to respond to the blog post by writing on Twitter: "Slut's Spaghetti -- aka pasta alla puttanesca -- is #recipeoftheday. Do I need to say anything more? (sic)"
The brunette beauty attached a photograph of the recipe, before later adding: "No agenda behind #recipeoftheday! Slut's Spaghetti an old fave of mine. (sic)"
Nigella married wealthy art dealer Charles in 2003 but they divorced seven weeks after photos emerged of him with his hand around her neck in 2013.
The break-down of their marriage was played out in public during the trial of her former aides Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who were acquitted of fraud last year, where Nigella was forced to admit she had used cocaine and marijuana in the past.

Joel Kinnaman's 'RoboCop' costume was a "challenge to put on".
The 34-year-old actor plays cop Alex Murphy who is turned into a cyborg law enforcement officer in the movie and claims his iconic black costume was "uncomfortable" and he dreaded the thought of wearing it.
During a press conference, Kinnaman said: "It was a little bit of a challenge to put on the suit. The first time I put it on, we were out in Pasadena and it was a hot day in LA. It took one hour and 45 minutes to put it on, and it was so uncomfortable. It was digging in everywhere. It was pressing down on my shoulders. I was just sweating like a pig. After 20 minutes, I said, 'I've gotta get out of this!' And then, I was thinking to myself that it was a daunting idea that I was going to have to wear this for 14 hours a day, six days a week for five months."
Kinnaman felt "vulnerable" in his costume and insists this helped him relate to his alter-ego in José Padilha's remake of the 1987 film of the same name.
He added: "The suit became one of the first seeds that led my imagination into the vulnerability that Alex Murphy felt, after he became RoboCop.
"It was an interesting contrast because he's got this body that is so powerful, but he feels very uncomfortable. He's amputated from his throat down. He doesn't know who he is anymore. And my little level of comfortability led me to think about what Alex would have felt, times a thousand. I was surprised to realise that the suit, which should make me feel so powerful, actually made me feel vulnerable."

Kim Kardashian is keeping her old clothes - so her daughter can use them for Halloween costumes.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is having a special storage area created in the new home she and fiance Kanye West are currently having renovated and will keep all her old garments, whether she likes them or not, until eight-month-old North is old enough to use them.
She said: "I'm saving them all to give to North. I'm building a whole attic. At the moment I have a storage unit of all my old stuff and even if it's not really her style - or my style anymore - it's so fun to see all the flashy things I've worn.
"She can use them as Halloween costumes or whatever she wants with them."
Kim's sister Kourtney is also saving her old clothes for her daughter, 19-month-old Penelope, as she believes fashions always come back around.
Kourtney - who also has four-year-old son Mason with partner Scott Disick - told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I want her to find and grow into her own style but I will always be here to offer advice.
"Trends always seem to come back around, so it's nice to think our investments will hopefully one day be revived and styled in a different way by our daughters."

Chantelle Houghton says it's easy to pile on the pounds "without noticing".
The 30-year-old TV personality - who has 19-month-old daughter Dolly with ex-fiance Alex Reid - is delighted she has managed to shift her extra weight recently and is hoping to maintain her slim figure.
She told new! magazine: "I'm really proud of myself this week as I've pretty much reached the weight I was before I had Dolly.
"I won't lie, it was hard work at times, but I'm glad I did it. It's amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it.
"I'm not going to slip back into bad old habits. I'm also going to buy myself a couple of pairs of skinny jeans from Zara and make sure I stay in them. I've been living in leggings and it's so easy to put on a few pounds without noticing."
Chantelle is currently single and insists online dating is a great idea as you can get a "fairly good idea" about a person from their profiles.
She added: "I don't think there's anything wrong with online dating and Preston [her ex-husband who is on Tinder] won't be at all bothered about people knowing. I think it's a good idea as you could spend two hours chatting to someone in a bar, then at the end of the night find something out about them that makes you realise they're not for you. At least with online dating you can get a fairly good idea what they're like from their profile, so it can save a lot of time."

Bruce Jenner's daughters are "confused" by his current appearance.
The reality star has recently undergone a laryngeal shave to make his Adam's apple smaller and is sporting dyed hair with highlights and longer nails, and his daughters Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 16, with estranged wife Kris Jenner don't understand the new look.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Kylie and Kendall just don't know what to think. It's extremely confusing for them to grasp. There is just no denying Bruce's recent physical changes, and he does look more feminine.
"It's been especially hard for 16-year-old Kylie because some of her friends have made jokes about Bruce's looks."
Kris has denied Bruce - who lives in Malibu, California, away from the family home in Calabasas - is undergoing a sex change and he has said he only had the throat operation because he didn't like the way his Adam's apple looked.
The source added: "Kris always encouraged Bruce to have his face nipped and tucked. He has had plastic surgery to remove excess fat above his eyelids. The Adam's apple surgery is just following in that pattern."
The decision by Bruce, 64, to move out last year has been especially hard on Kendall and Kylie as he had always been there for them in the daytime, while Kris was concentrating on the careers of their half sisters, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian.
The source added: "They have always been closer to their dad because Kris had been busy for so many years with their older half-sisters. It was always Bruce driving the girls to and from school.
"He wants to spend time with them, but it's hard for them to get all the way over Malibu where he is living. Plus, they would much rather be with their friends, which is typical for teenagers. Still, they miss their dad."

Samuel L. Jackson slammed a news anchor for confusing him with Laurence Fishburne.
The star had appeared on California's KTLA news channel to talk about his latest movie, 'Robocop', but was astounded when he was asked by Sam Rubin about his appearance in a Super Bowl commercial.
He responded: "What Super Bowl commercial? You're as crazy as the people on Twitter. I'm not Laurence Fishburne.
"We don't all look alike. We may be all black and famous, but we don't all look alike."
Sam apologised profusely and tried to steer the conversation back to the movie, but Samuel was not impressed.
Speaking about his appearing in a credit card advert, he added: "There's more than one black guy doing commercials. I'm the 'What's in your wallet?' black guy. [Fishburne's] the car black guy. Morgan Freeman is the other credit card black guy. You only hear his voice though, so you probably won't confuse him with Laurence Fishburne.
"I've [also] actually never done a McDonald's or Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial. I know that's surprising."
Sam later issued a formal apology to the actor and admitted his embarrassment, but claimed he had actually been referring to a 'Captain America' commercial which also aired during the Super Bowl and did include Samuel.
He said: "I pride myself on the fact - that unlike a lot of people who do this kind of work - more often than not, I really do know what I'm talking about. But I didn't 30 minutes ago, and I'm really embarrassed about it, and I very much apologise to Samuel L. Jackson and anyone else who was offended for what was a very amateur mistake."
