Which Glee Cast Members Have the Best Shot At Being Movie Stars?

With I Am Number Four unspooling at theaters around the country (and in IMAX !), Dianna Agron becomes the first Glee star to graduate from McKinley High School to the silver screen. Four isn’t Agron’s maiden voyage into the world of film — she had small roles in Burlesque and The Romantics last year — but it is the first high profile movie appearance from any Glee star since the show exploded. Will Agron be the biggest movie star of the New Directions bunch? Ahead — using nothing but common sense, speculation and bit of wishful thinking — Movieline counts down the ten Glee students most likely to succeed.

Glee’s Heather Morris on Her Viral Rap Video, Sofia Vergara and Her Lesbian Make Out Scene

The second season of Glee has been an important one for Heather Morris. The actress — who portrays Brittany, the ditzy New Directions member who believes that Dr. Pepper is a dentist — became an official series regular, made her singing debut (in her character’s titular episode), out-danced Britney Spears and established herself as the most reliably funny actor on the Emmy-nominated series. Knowing all of this, Movieline made a point to track down the Arizona-raised back-up-dancer-turned-actress at Tuesday night’s Fox TCA Press Party to ask the break-out triple talent about her hilarious viral rap video , the possibility of a lesbian relationship on the show and her character’s patented one-liners.

‘Glee’ Tackles Britney Spears’ Snake-Charming VMA Set

The all-Britney Spears episode of “Glee” is just days away, and details about the pop star’s tribute are trickling in. We already know the McKinley high-schoolers are going to revamp Brit’s debut smash ” … Baby One More Time” and her Madonna match-up “Me Against the Music.” The song-and-dance crew has also reached beyond Spears’ trendsetting clips to one of her iconic stage performances: the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards rendition of “I’m a Slave 4 U.” A picture surfaced Friday (September 24) of the megastar’s “Glee” namesake Brittany (played by Heather Morris) rocking a bejeweled green-and-blue two-piece similar to Spears’ skimpy VMA ensemble, with a yellow boa draped over her shoulders. Morris recently opened up about the arc of Tuesday’s episode, dishing that the glee clubbers rebel against Schuester’s ban on retooling Spears’ hits. “Through a special substance, I go under and have a couple of dream sequences — not only myself, but with Santana [Naya Rivera],” Morris told Australian magazine TV Week. “A lot of it has to do with Will [Matthew Morrison] not allowing us to perform Britney Spears songs, because he doesn’t agree with what kind of entertainer she is, so it’s our fight to do Britney. But it’s not just us doing Britney in show choir; there are other sequences — it’s our homage to her.” Tuesday’s show is shaping up to be a busy one for Morris, who is also vamping it up opposite Spears herself in their reworking of “Music.” However, the actress insisted her previous encounters with Spears helped her stay cool around the pop icon. “It wasn’t really nerve-racking, because I’ve met her before and I wasn’t really overwhelmed by who she is,” she said. “But the idea of what she has given us for the show and, for me, getting to dance with her and play with her on set, I was just staring at her at one point and thinking, ‘This is just so frickin’ awesome.’ ” Are you excited for the Britney takeover on “Glee” next week?

Britney Spears May Cover ‘Me Against The Music’ On ‘Glee’

Pop star tweeted a photo showing her and castmember Heather Morris sporting looks from Madonna video. By Mawuse Ziegbe Heather Morris and Britney Spears on the set of “Glee” Photo: Facebook It appears viewers may get a taste of Madonna in Britney Spears’ “Glee” episode. Spears, who has been sending out updates from the set of the Fox megahit, tweeted a picture of herself in a scene reminiscent of her Madonna collaboration, “Me Against the Music.” In the picture, Spears faces “Glee” castmember Heather Morris, who is decked out in a suit and blue shirt similar to the gender-bending look the superstar singer sports in the 2003 video. Instead of reprising her original look, though, Spears appears to be taking on Madonna’s role, donning an all-white outfit reminiscent of Madge’s look in the clip. The singer accompanied the picture with a Twitter missive referencing the lyrics from the uptempo track: “All my GLEEKERS in the crowd, Grab a partner take it down.” In addition to possibly revamping “Me Against the Music,” the upcoming Britney-tribute episode will feature the smash hit that started it all. Jenna Ushkowitz confirmed to MTV News earlier this month that Lea Michele will perform a version of ” … Baby One More Time.” Ushkowitz also revealed that fans may see a match-up between the “Circus” superstar and the show’s in-house Brittany. “Some old Britney, some new Britney, some Brittany of our Brittany from the glee club. So it should be funny,” Ushkowitz said. “We’re really excited. I love Britney Spears.” Madonna didn’t participate in the making of her “Glee” tribute episode but Spears appears to be having fun on the set. “We love GLEE! Its GLEEKERIFIC!!!” Spears tweeted on Thursday (August 19). The singer also tweeted about her first day of filming on Wednesday and sent out another picture. “What’s up GLEEKS? Having so much fun on set!!” Spears typed. “Can’t wait for you guys to see the episode!” What songs do you hope will turn up in the Britney Spears “Glee” episode? Let us know in the comments below!

‘Glee’ Star Lea Michele Wants Justin Timberlake Super Bowl Episode

‘If not Justin, I would hope it would be the sequel to the Madonna episode,’ Michele says of possible post-Super Bowl show. By Mawuse Ziegbe Lea Michele Photo: Jon Kopaloff/ Getty Images Back in January, Lea Michele told us she was hoping for a dance-off between Matthew Morrison’s Will Schuester and Justin Timberlake on “Glee.” Well, the show might be getting a little closer to securing JT and/or his music. “I think they are saving Justin Timberlake for the Super Bowl episode,” Michele told The Hollywood Reporter. “They have to be, because he is so perfect for our show. He has to be on it! When I met Jessica Biel, like a loser, I asked her to tell Justin to come on our show. [ Laughs. ] She was a little taken aback and said, ‘Um, OK. I’ll tell him.’ ” Michele said that if “Glee” producers don’t make a JT episode happen, she’s fine with revisiting the hitmaking catalog of his “4 Minutes” collaborator. “If not Justin, I would hope it would be the sequel to the Madonna episode,” she said. “She has so many more amazing songs we didn’t even touch.” When the New Directions crew might tackle Timberlake’s hits is still up in the air, but the cast is buzzing about delving into the hits of his ex, Britney Spears . Michele is slated to revamp Spears’ debut smash ” … Baby One More Time,” and Heather Morris (whose character happens to be named Brittany) has said she wants to switch up “Toxic.” “Circus” and “Stronger” are other jams from the pop princess that might turn up in the episode, but castmember Naya Rivera said homing in on a few Spears songs is a major challenge. “There are so many great Britney songs to choose from; how do you pick just one?” Rivera wondered.

Britney Spears Set To Appear On ‘Glee’

Creator Ryan Murphy confirms to Ryan Seacrest that pop singer will guest star on tribute episode. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Audrey Kim Britney Spears Photo: Scott Gries/ImageDirect Lady Gaga : Check. Madonna : Check. “Glee” has featured the music of the pop stars to acclaim in its first season. Yet the show has yet to get high-profile singers Madge and Gaga to appear in person on the show. But another diva is about to change that. On Tuesday (August 10), show creator Ryan Murphy confirmed to Ryan Seacrest that Britney Spears will make an appearance on “Glee.” Now, fans are anxious to see what they’ll do with the Spears discography in an episode set to air next season. And the cast seems just as excited as the Gleeks about what’s to come. Heather Morris couldn’t wait to have Spears on set when MTV News spoke to her at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. “I get to do Britney Spears! I’m hearing rumors from other people that she’s supposed to be coming … that’d be so nerve-racking,” she said. “I like ‘Toxic’ the best or the ‘Slave’ video. It was always her best performance. She’s rocking! I don’t care what I do.” “I mean I can’t really give away songs, but I know we’ve seen pictures of Lea [Michele] in a sports bra,” Jenna Ushkowitz added, confirming online reports that Michele would sing the classic Britney tune ” … Baby One More Time.” “Some old Britney, some new Britney, some Brittany of our Brittany from the Glee club. So it should be funny,” Ushkowitz teased of featured songs. “We’re really excited. I love Britney Spears.” Fans also want to know whether Matthew Morrison will go all the way and shave his head as rumored for the episode. But the only thing he would confirm is that he couldn’t confirm anything. “All rumors,” Morrison told us. “I think you might be surprised. I don’t think I’ll be performing any [songs]. I might sing a little bit of ‘Toxic,’ ” he shared. “I’m not sure. We haven’t really got too far in the script yet, which is why I don’t know too much about the head-shaving thing.” Morrison’s castmate Amber Reilly is already convinced the episode will be great. “I can tell you it’s going to be a really great episode and you’re going to love it,” she said. “And they’re doing the big hits from Britney.” Which Britney songs do you think are absolutely essential to the “Glee” tribute episode?
