Following on from the Emmy-nominated musical show’s massively popular tributes to Madonna and Lady Gaga, with whole episodes dedicated to the divas’ award winning songs, Ryan Murphy says the troubled pop princess Britney Spears will indeed be next to receive the honour.
‘We are writing a Britney Spears episode,’ he told US TV show Entertainment Tonight, though he didn’t reveal any further details as to whether Britney herself will make an appearance in the show, for example.
Speaking in May, Matthew Morrison – aka Glee club founding teacher Will Shuester – dismissed the idea of a Britney tribute episode, stating: ‘That’s a rumour her manager started. I hope our show doesn’t go along that route.’
Britney herself expressed her enthusiasm for the idea on social networking site Twitter, posting recently: ‘I love Glee, the cast is so talented.’
The future Mrs Russell Brand is also keen for a chance in the Glee spotlight – Katy Perry has urged fans to start a Facebook campaign to convince the show’s producers to to enlist her in the show.
