Britney Spears certainly isn't 'Toxic' to the producers of the Fox hit 'Glee.'Ryan Murphy, creator of 'Glee,' confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday that a Spears episode is in the works. It's not clear whether Spears herself will appear on the show, however.
Spears' manager, Adam Leber, started a Twitter campaign in April to have a Spears episode on 'Glee.' "Do you guys want to see a Britney Spears episode of GLEE?'' Leber tweeted. "Thoughts?''
Spears, 28, has sold more than 28 million records in her career. Her hits -- and possible 'Glee' numbers -- include '... Baby One More Time,' 'Oops! ... I Did It Again,' 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman,' 'If U Seek Amy,' 'Womanizer' and 'Toxic.'
'Glee' racked up 19 Emmy nominations on Thursday. In the previous season, the show based two episodes on the music of Madonna and Lady Gaga. Neither pop star appeared on the show.
In related 'Glee' news, a producer of the show shot down speculation that Spanish actor Javier Bardem would appear on the upcoming season. "No, javierbardemjenniferanistonjuliarobertsbradpittelviskatieholmestomcruiseandu2 are not appearing in season 2. But wouldn't it be fun...." Dante Di Loreto tweeted earlier this week
