Despite previous reports that Britney Spears would not personally appear on the Glee tribute episode devoted to her, creator Ryan Murphy says she will!

Just last week, star Jane Lynch said that the episode was very much in the works, musically and plot-wise, but the pop singer herself would not appear.

So much for that.

On Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today, Murphy said Brit is 100 percent “going to be on the episode,” likely as a dental assistant to John Stamos’ character.

“The Britney episode is so reverential about her and so kind and it’s about her music and it’s not about her personal life,” Murphy revealed to Seacrest.

The girl on the right has shown her face many times from about 2005-present, but Britney Spears on the left will be the focal point of Glee’s tribute episode.

“And I think, Britney Spears is pop culture, and I think she’s been through a lot. And I wanted to do something that just sort of says, you know what, ‘thank you for who you are and what you have done.'”

Hopefully that includes a head-shaving, as rumored. Regardless, it should include a rendition of “Baby One More Time,” as this Lea Michele pic shows.

As for the other tribute songs, which would you rather hear when the episode airs September 28 (the season premieres a week earlier)? Vote below:
