Britney to appear in Glee (possibly)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 August 2010
It occurs to me that a great way to get widespread coverage for your TV show would be to always mention celebrities you’ve vaguely spoken to about appearing in it when you yourself are being interviewed. And if you can phrase it so it sounds like they’re a dead cert to appear, however vague the actual conversation may have been, then all the better. Hence, once this particular CMU story has been written, unless Ryan Murphy comes up with something really impressive, you’re going to have to start looking up your own ‘Glee’ news.
Last week ‘Glee’ boss Murphy insinuated that Paul McCartney and Susan Boyle were going to be in future editions of the show. Boyle, it seems, is actually quite likely to appear as a dinner a lady in the Christmas special. What Murphy actually said about McCartney was a bit more vague, it’s possible they’re just going to use some songs the musician suggested, which may or may not be Beatles songs.
Anyway, and continuing with the name dropping, when appearing on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this week Murphy revealed that one episode of the next series will feature the music of Britney Spears, and that the lady herself may make a cameo. He said: “Britney, I think 100%, is going to be on the episode. She is going to come and do a couple of scenes. It’s about her music and not her personal life. We’re handling Britney with sort of kid gloves. I really admire what she’s done with her life and how she’s turned things around”.
Other pop stars who may or may not appear in the show include Leo Sayer, Finnish Eurovision winners Lordi, Cliff Richard and Michael Jackson.
