“All I can say about that is that we’re doing six Britney songs, and then Brittany (Heather Morris) is doing a Britney song. We’re paying tribute to her in a sort of fun and unexpected way.”

“Glee” creator Ryan Murphy, discussing the very limited details that he was willing to reveal about the episode devoted to Britney Spears over the weekend at 2010′s San Diego Comic-Con. Murphy appeared on a panel with most of the key members of the cast, including Amber Riley (who plays Mercedes Jones), Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina Cohen-Chang) and Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel). Murphy did not reveal which Spears songs would be included in the episode nor would he disclose the plot of the show, though he did say that the approach would be “hallucinogenic.”

Murpy and the cast also discussed a handful of other developments that will be coming on the upcoming second season of the hit Fox show. Murphy said that both Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth would return as guest stars, R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” would appear in an episode about religious issues, a second episode devoted to Madonna is in the works and the show is in discussions with a major (but undisclosed) star to guest on the high-profile episode that will air after the next Super Bowl on February 6, 2011.

The new season of the hit “Glee” is scheduled to kick off on September 21 at 8 p.m., though the show will shift to 9 p.m. following the Super Bowl episode (which coincides with the return of the Simon Cowell-free “American Idol”).
