The ABC hit comedy show “Modern Family” is no stranger to hilarious guest star cameos including David Cross, Shelley Long, and Nathan Lane, and now quite possibly one of the biggest pop sensations we’ve seen — Britney Spears.
The news started when Britney tweeted on Tuesday about her love of the show: “I know everybody is excited about the Super Bowl, but I personally can’t wait to see the next episode of Modern Family! Funniest show on TV.”
As you can probably guess it took off from there. The Modern Family star actress Sofia Vargara retweeted Spears’ tweet, and soon after Vargara’s manager chimed in on the situation “@BritneySpears on Modern Family? What do you guys think?”
After that Britney responded with a very enthusiastic tweet “Ahhh I would love to be on it!”, which then prompted fans to start a rabid campaign #GetBritneyonModernFamily and resulted in a trend topic for the popular social networking site.
So far neither Britney’s camp or Modern Family’s officials have confirmed about the guest starring role, but you never know, odder things have happened, and “Modern Family” hasn’t been a show to shy away from anything out of the ordinary.
The show recently came under fire for showing a toddler curse in an episode, riling up anti-profanity crusaders across the globe.
Spears has dabbled in comedy before, guest starring on “Glee”, “How I Met Your Mother”, and “Will & Grace” just to name a few. As a child Spears was also featured on the hit relaunched variety show “The Mickey Mouse Club”.
