Britney Comes To Glee: A Play by Play
Sept. 29 2010, Published 9:58 a.m. ET
We couldn’t wait to find out how in the world a Britney Spears cameo (or two or three) was going to play into Glee on Tuesday’s must-see Britney tribute. And leave it to Glee to find a genius tie-in that involved drugs and John Stamos. Oh yes, as an added bonus, John Stamos joined the cast tonight as Emma’s dreamy, new dentist boyfriend, Carl. After discovering that half the Glee club has plaque build-up – they all take their turn in his chair and under his anesthesia all dream a Britney fantasy come true. Each finds themselves with a different connection to the pop icon—with an obsession for her music fueled by Will’s insistence that they not perform Britney tunes at the Homecoming pep rally.
First up is Glee Club/Cheerio Britney (who claims she’s spent her life living in Britney Spears’ shadow because of the similarities to their names). Side note, she’s played by Heather Morris who is a professional dancer that toured with Beyonce before her Glee days—so we finally get to see her dancing chops. She pays homage to Brit’s famous looks (like the “Oops! I Did It Again” red cat suit) while belting out “Slave 4 U.” She literally had us do a double take with how closely she resembled Miss Spears from looks to moves.
