Here's one Glee fans should have seen coming: That upcoming Britney Spears-themed episode? It will revolve around New Directions' own Brittany (Heather Morris).
Of course!
Series creator Ryan Murphy tells TVGuide.com exclusively that McKinley High's deliciously ditzy Cheerio Brittany will be at the center of Season 2's tribute to Spears.
And it gets better. Brittany will be belting out not one, but two of the pop star's tunes. "Heather's actually got a terrific voice," Murphy says.
No word yet on which numbers they'll be, but just imagine the possibilities: Brittany could sing "Boys" (because she's hooked up with everyone, even Kurt) or "Toxic" (which could be her ode to Kurt!)
Would "Oops!...I Did It Again" be too obvious? Hmm...
Morris already seems sold on the idea. "I heard there's a Britney Spears episode coming up and fingers crossed that I get to sing, because I play Brittany and I'm like, 'Oh my god, it's insane,'" Morris told E! Online last month.
Glee fans won't have to wait long to find out how Morris sounds. Murphy said the Spears-powered hour will be the second episode to air next season.

Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Britney Spears will not appear in Glee.
The showrunner recently announced that the show will dedicate an episode to Spears songs but he has now clarified that the singer will not be making a cameo.
"We're doing an episode about Britney Spears, but she's not on the show," he told E! Online. "It's not like anything we've ever done. There's a twist on it."
Murphy also admitted that many of the rumours about guest stars are "not true" but revealed that Kristin Chenoweth is "definitely coming back". He added that he is hoping to find roles for Javier Bardem and Jennifer Lopez, who has previously claimed that she would love a guest spot on the show.
"I love Jennifer," he said. "We keep talking about it. Again, we're just trying to find the right part."
However, Murphy dismissed speculation that Justin Timberlake will have a cameo, saying: "I don't know where that came from. We love him. He's the kids' favourite. A lot of this stuff comes from, 'Who would you like to be on the show?' And one of the kids said Justin and I said, 'Yeah, I love Justin'."
Murphy added that Jonathan Groff is unlikely to reprise his role as Jesse.
"He is doing a play in London til January," he explained. "We always have a soft spot for Jon, but he's not in the country."
Glee returns for its second season on September 21 on Fox.

Ashley Galvan has revealed that she would love to star in an episode of Glee.
The 19-year-old was recently eliminated from the seventh season of So You Think You Can Dance after a fractured rib rendered her unable to perform.
She hoped to be fully recovered soon and admitted that in addition to dancing, she plans to begin auditioning for TV and commercial roles.
"I'm hoping that I will be able to go on a lot of auditions for different jobs and just kind of continue my journey, which is only just beginning. Hopefully I get to work in movies and commercials and TV work," she told Inside Pulse.
"I'm hoping that someday I get to be on Glee. That's my dream, I hope I get to do that."
She added that an appearance on the Fox musical series would not be out of the question, as she has a background in acting.
"I did [train in acting], for about a year... because that's something I really wanted to do, something I really wanted to open up with because I am a shy person and I feel like doing acting will kind of help me grow up and not be so shy anymore," she explained.
Galvan's good friend and fellow competitor Robert Roldan recently said that his dance on Wednesday night's show was dedicated to her.

Filipino popstar Charice Pempengco has reportedly had cosmetic procedures to prepare for her debut in the second season of Glee.
The teen singer underwent a noninvasive Thermage procedure, meant to tighten the skin around the face, and a Botox treatment to make her face look more narrow, cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo told ABS-CBN television.
Charice said of the treatment: "All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure."
The 18-year-old said that the cosmetic surgery was part of her preparations "to look fresh on camera".
Charice landed the role on Glee in June.
She made her first US TV appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and later appeared on Oprah Winfrey's chatshow after she shot to fame by posting videos of herself on YouTube.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has suggested that the second season will be more "intimate".
Murphy told Entertainment Weekly that he wants the new episodes of the show to include fewer songs.
"The second season will be more intimate and quieter with less musical numbers," he said. "People expect that we're going to keep trying to top ourselves and out-Madonna ourselves. But we're actually doing the opposite of that."
Murphy added that he is excited about exploring the show's characters in more depth.
"I love the characters we've created," he said. "I love that I'm doing a whole episode around Heather Morris [Brittany]. We've finished a couple of the scripts and I love them even more than I did the first season. I just think they're more emotional and funnier."
The second season of Glee will premiere on September 21 on Fox.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has praised cast member Mike O'Malley.
O'Malley stars in the show as Kurt's father Burt and was recently promoted to a series regular.
Murphy has now told The Boston Globe that he wrote the role specifically for O'Malley.
"It's a real tour de force role and I knew what Mike could do," he said. "This isn't an after-school special. This is a working-class dude who's not okay with his son being gay, a guy who's having a tough time. It's heavy and Mike has the ability to cut through the sentiment."
He added: "Mike's talent is deep. I will always write for Mike O'Malley."
O'Malley was recently nominated for an Emmy for his role in Glee.

John Barrowman claims to be on the verge of securing a part in the new season of Glee after a recent meeting with show bosses.
The Desperate Housewives star, who recently announced his dream of playing one of Rachel Berry's gay dads, revealed that he is currently in talks to take on an unspecified role.
"I met with their casting people and I said I'd love to be in it," Barrowman told Now. "The ball's in their court, though."
Barrowman claimed to be discussing a possible role in the show back in March, but this was swiftly denied by executive producer Ian Brennan.
Season two of Glee is scheduled to premiere in the US on September 21 and will air in the UK sometime after.
