Lea Michele Talks Britney On ‘Glee’

The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:

Lea Michele hit the Emmy red carpet on Sunday night and dished the dirt on working with Britney Spears.

“She was so professional,” the “Glee” star gushed to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. “She looked incredible. She’s so tiny!”

The brunette beauty said working with the pop superstar was a great experience.

“She was great to work with,” Lea said. “It was one of those things where you go to work and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe we’re doing this!’”

Gleek alert: Fans can definitely expect to see Lea and Britney together on screen — although, she remained mum on the details.

“We are in a scene together,” Lea revealed. “What we do together, I can’t say, but I will tell you it’s incredibly iconic! I can’t believe Ryan [Murphy] got her to do this.”

Sunday was an extra special day for Lea – not only was the star nominated for her first Emmy award (for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series), but the award show also happened to fall on her 24th birthday.

Catch Lea and Britney on “Glee” on September 28 at 8 PM on FOX.

'Glee' Creator On Britney Spears Cameo: 'It Was Like The President Had Come'

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Britney Spears may be a pop princess, but "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy felt as if the president had stopped by the set during Spears' recent visit to William McKinley High. Murphy dished about what went down when the singer filmed her cameo for the "Britney/Brittany" episode.

"It was literally like the President had come," Murphy told E! Online. "We all had to wear wristbands. I couldn't get into my own sets at one point, which I thought was hilarious."

Murphy thought Spears was moved by the cast's admiration for her. "I think she was really impressed about how so many kids of the show do what they do because they grew up wanting to be Britney Spears," he said. "She was really sweet with them. We had a number with a bunch of eight-year-old dancers in the show and she spent a lot of time talking to them, and they did the number for her ... She was so sweet, she's great with kids, she was so awesome."

But security remained tight, Murphy said, because "everybody was sort of trying to get into the set and find out what the hell she's doing in the episode." What Spears will be doing on the show is still unknown, but a picture the singer tweeted from the set suggests that she may be playing some sort of receptionist.

Aside from hanging with the pop princess on set, the "Glee" creator also got to hear some of Spears' new material. "I got to hear some of the music she's putting out later this fall or early next year," Murphy said. "It's really a great return to form for her; the songs are amazing so I feel she's riding the crest."

And while there has been talk of Madonna tunes blaring the speaker intercoms once again, Murphy has also revealed that Britney "probably" will reprise her cameo spot on "Glee" episodes.

Last week, the singer tweeted photos of herself on set alongside Murphy and castmember Heather Morris. Posing in front of a set that looked similar to the singer's "Me Against the Music" video backdrop, Spears channeled the Madonna look that was donned in their 2003 collaboration.

More Glee for Britney?

The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:

Just days after Britney Spears stopped by the “Glee” set to film her cameo for Season 2, there already appears to be talk of her returning to McKinley High.

On Saturday, at the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles, Access Hollywood asked co-creator Ryan Murphy if fans can expect to see even more of the “Circus” singer, and Ryan suggested it is likely.

“Probably, yeah… probably,” he said.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Britney hit the “Glee” set earlier in the week to film her guest role, including one scene alongside the show’s own Brittany, played by Heather Morris. While on set, the pop princess spent time with Ryan, and at Saturday’s event, where “Glee” was up for several awards, he told Access what a delight it was to have her around.

“Britney came this week and shot, and I got to hang out with Britney,” Ryan said. “She was sweet, she was great.”

“I’m now best friends with Britney apparently,” Ryan added, jokingly.

Ryan, who also created “Nip/Tuck,” said he’s still surprised by the popularity of his show about a high school glee club.

“I never thought it would work at all,” he said. “I thought it was very good, and I thought the cast was great, but I thought the idea was kind of particular. I’m shocked.”

Catch the season premiere of “Glee” on September 21 at 8 PM on FOX, and the Britney episode on Sept. 28.

Ryan Murphy on the Britney 'Lockdown'

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Having Britney on set was like "having the President," according to Murphy, who reveals he couldn't even get on his own set at one point when Ms. Spears on shooting her guest spot! Security was so tight with wristbands, etc. that even the cast and producers had to face interrogation. Jane Lynch says she was at Disneyland that day because they "probably wouldn't have let me on anyway."

More Details about Glee's Britney Ep

Ryan Murphy is giving up some pretty good scoop on the Britney Spears episode.

He spoke exclusively with Ryan Seacrest this morning and answered some questions about the Britney episode.

He also squashed the rumor that they were going to do a Britney Spears head shaving scene, saying they are handling the Britney episode with kid gloves. I think Ryan must have gotten a huge backlash from Britney fans about mocking her breakdown- thus why he backed out of that idea. Smart move.

He said the episode will have Britney in a few scenes (although I doubt we’ll get any dancing or singing from her). More likely is that Britney may appear in the cast member’s dreams since the episode is based on a hallucination that takes place after John Stamos’ character puts the kids under in his part as a dentist.

Sounds funny so far! We all know how funny she is.

Maybe Britney might even spill some music details at the end of the show. It would be huge since all her fans will be watching this episode of Glee. Wonder how badly the viewer ratings will put Madonna’s to shame.

Is Britney Spears next to be "Gleeked" out? ET knows…

While there's no word if the pop princess herself will appear on the hit show, "Glee" creator/writer Ryan Murphy tells ET that the show is currently in the middle of writing a Spears episode.

The hit show, earning 19 Emmy noms Thursday, will also air a big tribute episode after next year's Super Bowl, but Murphy didn't reveal which star it will be based on, only hinting that we were "close" by guessing Michael Jackson.

Britney Goes for a Ride

The following italicized article is from www.fadedyouthblog.com:

Britney Spears looked a bit pouty and bored as she took a ride with her bodyguard through Los Angeles today (May 19).

Meanwhile, Glee creator Ryan Murphy confirms that a sequel to the Madonna episode is being planned and will “probably” be part of the next season.

He tells USA Today that he is in talks to make a Britney-themed episode.

“We love Britney,” he says. “We’re talking to Britney. I think you have to be careful on the show not to do too many tribute episodes. But she certainly has a huge body of work to pull from and the kids grew up with her so that is a consideration. They love her.”
