'Glee' plans new Britney Spears tribute episode

'Glee' will pay tribute to pop princess Britney Spears once again in an upcoming new episode.

Spears, who was officially confirmed as a new judge on X Factor USA last night (May 14), will not make a cameo on the popular musical drama this time around but instead the episode will feature 8 of her hits.

EW.com reports that the episode will be second in the show's impending fourth season and it is set to premiere this coming autumn.

Back in 2010, the 'Hit Me Baby (One More Time)' superstar appeared as herself on the 'Britney/Brittany' episode of 'Glee' and she lent 5 of her iconic singles to the talented cast for the show.  

Following the exciting confirmation of Spears' new talent show judging role, she opened up about being chosen for the job and told the press:

"I'm so excited about this whole experience. It's going to be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done. I'm ready to find a true star."
