With the premiere of Glee‘s second season only weeks away, dozens of newly released photos and spoilers are throwing the fandom into a frenzy of anticipation! New York Times photographer Todd Heisler spent five days in August documenting the show at a studio lot and in two Los Angeles-area high schools.

His candid behind-the-scenes photos offer a window into the making of the highly anticipated season two, featuring the making of the Britney tribute episode. You can see Heather in her “Me Against the Music” video, Matthew busting a few dance moves, and even a full page of the episode script! Check out the photos below!

@DiannaGleeFans on Twitter has a close transcript of what the script page says. Go follow her!

Sources were originally reporting that Mr. Shue would shave his head in protest of New Directions perfoming Britney’s music. It appears that part of the episode was meant to be a surprise, but is no longer happening now that everyone knows. Whoops!

Heather Morris tells Access Hollywood at the Teen Choice Awards: “I guess they’re deciding not to do it now because it was supposed to be the surprise…then Ryan got wind that everybody found out and he was like, ‘I don’t think we can do it anymore because now it’s out’.”

Matthew Morrison added that if the head-shaving happened anyway, he would actually shave his head, instead of using a double or a head cap. “I’d have to shave it ‘cause then it wouldn’t make sense with the rest of the series,” Matthew said. Glad he’s thinking about continuity!

He could totally pull it off though. “I’m so hot,” he kidded, “I did it a couple of years ago for a movie and I like it.”

Heather joked about having Britney shave her own head for the episode. She said she’d opt for the bald cap. I would too.

Mr. Schuester Likely Won’t Shave His Head For Britney Episode

E! Online’s Kristin de Santos is making us squeal again! That woman has it down to an art form.

In her latest spoiler chat, Kristin answered the burning questions of two fans using her endless entertainment intel. Apparently, season two will feature the return of KCheno and the one thing we’re all waiting for: Brittany’s first solo!

Barry in Ohio: Glee please!
How about some Kristin Chenoweth news that’ll make your heart sing?! Our favorite guest star tells us she’s setting her sights on Glee’s second season, and she’s in talks to have her own show. (Anybody remember Kristin? Yeah, it’s not that.) “I’m working on my album with Sony,” the O.G. Snookie (Olive Snook, bitches, yo yo!) tells us. “So I’ll be doing a tour and going back to Glee a little bit and also doing my own TV show.” According to a source close to K.Chen, it’s way too early to divulge any other details, but still, feel free to hug me and give me chocolates for sharing this happy news. No really, I don’t mind.

Maggie in Barcelona: Is that Britney Spears’ themed episode of Glee really going to happen?
As of now everything is still in talks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Glee pulled off a Britster episode in season two. We know one Gleek (and fellow “Brit”) who’d love it, too. Heather Morris (Brittany) tells me: “I heard there’s a Britney Spears episode coming up and fingers crossed that I get to sing, because I play Brittany and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, it’s insane.’” That could potentially be Heather’s first solo…how fitting is that?!

How exciting is that?! It’s been rumored that Brittany will make her singing debut, and also rumored that there’s a Brittany Spears episode in the works. How insane/ironic would it be if Brittany sang some Britney? Post below!

Edit: Thank you to a commenter, for pointing out that I spelled Britney wrong.

We all know and love her as the hilariously deadpan Cheerio, Brittany. Check out what Heather Morris had to say to Dance Spirit Magazine about her road to becoming a professional dancer from her humble roots in Arizona!

Once you spot Heather Morris on the hit TV show “Glee,” you’ll sit on the edge of your couch anxiously awaiting her every scene. As the unintentionally hilarious airhead Brittany, Heather delivers priceless one-liners with deadpan seriousness.

“Brittany can figure certain things out, like cheerleading and performing, because those are her passions,” says Heather. “But she doesn’t pay attention to anything else!”

Heather nails this obtuse character so perfectly that it’s hard to believe she’s a dancer first and an actress second. “Heather has incredible comedic timing,” says “Glee” choreographer Zach Woodlee. Plus, she has the kind of charisma that catches the audience’s attention. As a result, the 23-year-old is now finding out what it means to be famous.

Starry Constellation Magazine has yet another interview with a Glee cast member. This time, our friend Lisa had the pleasure of chatting with Heather Morris, who plays Brittany on the show. I must say, this was a really good interview. They talked about a lot of fun behind the scenes stuff and even asked some questions about Brittany’s future. Make sure to check out the full interview on StarryMag.com and listen to a podcast of the interview, here.

Q. A lot of people have been asking, does Brittany have a last name?

A. That’s probably the best question I’ve ever been asked because I don’t. I’ve always asked Ryan, “Does Brittany have a last name?” He’s like, “No, I think you’re just Brittany.” We call her Brittawny as a joke, her nickname is Brittawny. She’s the only one on the show who doesn’t have a last name.

Q. “Glee” has some of the best comedic moments and lines, as does your character Brittany. She may not say much now, but what she does say is hilarious.

A. A lot of the stuff they give me will be last minute, it won’t be in the script, and they’ll just kind of throw it at me on set. They’ll run a scene and then Ryan will be like, “Ok Heather, I want you to say this.” It’s always fun because it’s so out of nowhere, I don’t even know what he’s going to give me to say. There actually have been a couple of times where I’ll jokingly say something in a scene and he’ll be like, “Oh that’s in, that’s in,” and he’ll use stuff that I say. It’s always fun because it’s so simple, no-brainer random stuff.

Q. So you have moments of adlibbing with your lines?

A. One time specifically in one of the new episodes that will be airing on Tuesday there was a line in a choir scene. In the middle of the scene I was joking and Jonathan Groff who plays Jesse St. James was standing next to Mr. Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, and they looked identical. At the end of the joke I said, “Mr. Schue, is he your son?” Ryan started cracking up and he was like, “I’m using it!”
