"Glee star Amber Riley has declared that she would love to become friends with Adele.  The 25-year-old, who plays Mercedes Jones in the Fox musical comedy, received a touching email from the 21 singer after posting a cover of her track &amp;#039;Someone Like You&amp;#039; online.  Speaking to Reveal, Riley said that she would love to take their relationship further and jokingly invited Adele to come and move in with her.  &amp;quot;When I covered Adele&amp;#039;s song, she emailed to thank me,&amp;quot; Riley revealed. &amp;quot;I love Adele, I want her to be my best friend. She could come to the US, live with me and sing to me every morning.&amp;quot; Riley added that she was happy for the pair to be seen as positive &amp;quot;role models&amp;quot; by challenging the &amp;quot;standard image&amp;quot; of female celebrities.  &amp;quot;When you&amp;#039;re a celebrity, you have two choices - you&amp;#039;re either just famous, or you can be an example,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;I chose to be a role model. I get a lot of letters from young girls and they need somebody who looks like them, someone who isn&amp;#039;t what you&amp;#039;d expect in Hollywood. I&amp;#039;m very different to that standard image and I think they can relate to that.&amp;quot; Riley and her Glee co-star Jenna Ushkowitz previously argued to Digital Spy that Adele should appear on the show.  Glee airs in the US Tuesdays at 8/7c on Fox, while UK viewers can watch it on Thursdays at 9pm on Sky1.   &amp;gt; Adele: &amp;quot;I f**king love Glee&amp;quot; Watch Amber Riley cover Adele&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Someone Like You&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
