Britney wants 'Glee' role to be like 'Where's Waldo'

Britney Spears will soon join the ranks of “Glee” guest stars, and she’s going to have a big say in the part she plays on the show. “Well, it's her idea. She sort of wants to do a 'Where's Waldo?'-type thing with 'Where's Britney?' ” “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy told MTV News at the "Eat, Pray, Love" premiere Tuesday in New York. He added that the singer will “kind of” be playing a version of herself. Murphy said that it was really the cast who pushed for Spears to be on the show. Since the young “Glee” actors and actresses fondly remember the heyday of the singer’s career, they wanted to pay homage to her. “The reason we're doing it is because so many of the kids on the show say, 'We grew up with Britney. We want to do Britney.' So I said, 'OK,' but I'm filled with admiration for her,” he said. “I met with Britney Spears years and years and years ago right when ' ... Baby One More Time' came out and I was sort of starting my career, and I've always loved her,” Murphy said. “I think what she's done in turning everything around is remarkable, and the show is just a love letter to her music.”
