In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Ryan Murphy revealed that Britney Spears herself will in fact be making a cameo in her tribute episode! “I think Britney, 100 percent, is going to be on the episode,” he tells Seacrest this morning. It doesn’t get more confirmed than that!

Britney’s role in the episode was covered as well. Apparently, the glee kids are denied performing Britney by an obstinate Mr. Shue. When when they take a visit to John Stamos (the dentist), the anesthesia creates a hallucinogenic musical explosion starring Britney herself!

In regards to how Britney’s darker days will be handled, including the head-shaving: “[This episode] is so reverential, so kind and about her music,” Ryan says. “We’re handling Britney with kids gloves.”

Heather Morris (whose character Brittany will be performing in the episode) almost got wind of the Britney cameo beforehand. When asked about it, she remarked, “I hope so, somebody keeps teasing me and telling me she is coming. Oh my gosh, I would be so nervous. Not really, I would be excited.”

Are you loving this Britney news as much as I am?! Feel free to scream/fangirl/speculate in the comment section!

I now present to you, a HUGE HUGE round-up of every Season 2 spoiler you could ever need in your life! If you haven’t been keeping track of all the interviews, press events, panels, and just general hype, have no fear! This post is brought to you by TheGLEEkSpot’s tumblr, with the latest news added!

New Characters:

• Kurt gets a boyfriend. An “everyday guy.” He’s going to be struggling with his sexuality and Kurt is going to help him through this. Ryan wants them to be prom king and prom king. This plot line is apparently delayed past the first few episodes.*
• A christian country singer (a la Carrie Underwood) is supposed to come on. No word on how big this role is going to be. She’s also supposed to have a pretty big problem with Kurt and his boyfriend being gay.
• Sam Elliot will be played by Chord Overstreet. Sam is a football player. Finn will take Sam under his wing, and will utlimately become Finn’s rival. He will also have a special relationship with Quinn.
• Mercedes gets a love interest, too. A “male version of herself” (Can you say killer duets?)
• Charice will be guest starring as a foreign exchange student and a rival to Rachel. Her character, Sunshine, will start out very small but as the season progresses she will get bigger. Charice starts filiming on July 28th with the rest of the cast, so she will be in the first episode.
• Dot Jones will playing Shannon Beiste (pronounced BEEST) the new football coach, replacing Ken Tanaka, who will no longer be on Glee.
• Cheyenne Jackson will be replacing Idina Menzel’s role as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline. This will be a major, recurring role.
• John Stamos will have a recurring role as Emma’s dentist boyfriend.
• Javier Bardem will appear as a rock star who befriends Artie. “We’re going to rock the house,” the 41-year-old Gleek tells EW. “We’re going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.”
• Comedy legend Carol Burnett is said to be in the works for the role of Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother. Nothing is confirmed yet, but really, how could they pass up Carol Burnett?

*They’re saying that Sam Elliot is NOT Kurt’s boyfriend. Our theory? They’re pulling back on all the hype so Sam can have a surprise “coming out” moment. The same way Idina being Rachel’s mother was a surprise.

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.

I was as shocked, awed, and puzzled as you were by the trending topic on Twitter that appeared a few days ago: #BritneySpearsGLEE. Reportedly, Britney Spears’ manager Adam Leber tweeted in an attempt to rouse excitement over a Glee all-Britney episode. “Do you guys want to see a Britney Spears episode of GLEE?” he tweeted to the world. “Thoughts?”

Ryan Murphy is considering the possibility. He told EW:

“I’m interested in the Britney Spears idea. I’ve always loved her. I’m entertaining it. I think young kids would like that.” Murphy also says that he’s contemplating doing similar hour tributes to Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, and, even, Courtney Love! “I actually ran into Courtney Love the other day and talked to her,” says Murphy. “She’s interested. I would love to have the kids do a Courtney Love episode one day.”

After the phenomenal success of last week’s glorified Madonna episode, it looks like the writers are looking for more stars to channel! What do you think? Overkill? Or potential hilarity?! Post away!
