‘Glee’ Stars: Mr. Schuester Likely Won’t Shave His Head For Britney Episode

Gleek Alert! Rumors have been flying in recent weeks that Matthew Morrison – who plays Glee club director Mr. Will Schuester on “Glee” – will shave his head in the upcoming Britney Spears tribute episode, something Jane Lynch confirmed to Access Hollywood last week. Those plans, however, may have changed.

AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman caught up with the stars of “Glee” at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night and found out the shearing scene may be off.

Heather Morris, who plays cheerleader Brittany on the wildly popular show, told Laura that the entire plan may be nixed now that the shaving secret got out.

“I guess they’re deciding not to do it now because it was kind of supposed to be like the surprise, you know,” Heather said. “Then [executive producer] Ryan [Murphy] got wind that everybody found out and he was like, ‘I don’t think we can do it anymore because now it’s out.’ “

If Ryan decides to keep the scene, and clippers are required for Will, Matthew told Access that he’d actually shave his head, instead of using a bald cap.

“I’d have to shave it ‘cause then it wouldn’t make sense with the rest of the series,” Matthew said.

Gleeks needn’t worry though – Matthew said that he’ll still be a sexy Schuester, bald or not.

“I’m so hot,” he said, jokingly. “I did it a couple of years ago for a movie and I like it.”

Heather said she too would be up for the hair-free treatment.

“Maybe they’ll have my character do it. Maybe they’ll have Brittany shave her head,” Heather laughed.

The blond noted, however, that she wouldn’t say goodbye to her lengthy locks for the potential scene.

“I would do the bald cap,” she added.

In related news, “Glee’s” Harry Shum, Jr. confirmed to Laura that fans can expect to hear Britney hits “Toxic,” “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” “Oops, I Did It Again,” and possibly “I’m A Slave 4 U.”

“I think there’s going to be some homage to costumes of Britney music videos,” Harry added. “I’m excited to see that — those costumes are epic!”
