But she’s not the only one who had an issue with the Spears takeover at William McKinley High School. The hit Fox show has come under fire as the Parents Television Council has deemed the “Britney/Brittany” episode the “Worst TV Show of the Week” due to the broadcast’s “explicit sexual content.”

A message posted on the organization’s website decries the episode’s “skimpy outfits” and “sultry grinds” during “I’m a Slave 4 U.” And even though “Glee” castmembers show very little skin in the re-creation for the 2001 Madonna duet “Me Against the Music,” the PTC said the interpretation included “plenty of girl-girl bumping and grinding.”

According to the group, the tribute to the always-controversial Spears wasn’t appropriate because the singer is far from a suitable role model.

“Glee earned its highest ratings ever with this Britney Spears tribute, drawing 13.3 million viewers,” the message continued. “A scary thought considering that the mostly young teen/tween audience basically witnessed an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque. But perhaps most troubling is the deification of a troubled pop star into a symbol of empowerment and self-esteem. Considering her stints in rehab, her very public breakdowns, and her questionable parenting skills, there is absolutely no way Spears should be considered a role model. The producers of the show can spare us the old song-and-dance about fallen celebs turning their lives around. What’s next? Portraying Ike Turner as a reformed feminist?”

Spears knows controversy and criticism far too well. Since the beginning of her career, she’s always raised eyebrows with everything from her sex-kitten public image to her sometimes-questionable parental judgment. While the pop star has played it relatively safe since her comeback, the singer did make headlines last year for her suggestive single “If U Seek Amy,” the third offering from her album Circus.

My Opinion: I think I’ve seen more racy stuff on Family Guy then I did on Britney’s Glee episode so those at the Parents Television Council can go take their pathetic lives and just shut their pie hole. There was nothing wrong with the episode and it for surely didn’t offer: an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque. Get real!

TMZ reports that Judge Reva Goetz had requested a meeting with the pop star after the judge had discussed ending the conservatorship with Spears’ lawyers at the last few status meetings.

Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, was also present in the judge’s chambers during the progress meeting. He left the courtroom minutes after Britney, who wore a black dress and black ankle boots.

It was decided that Spears would remain under her conservatorship, according to TMZ. The judge took the stand to announce: “At this time, all orders will remain in full force and effect.” The decision came after she met with Spears and her father individually. The judge did give the OK to approve “investment strategies” for Britney’s trust; a petition had been filed regarding that matter.

While there seems to be no change in Spears’ personal life, she has certainly been a force to be reckoned with since she released her 2008 album Circus. She’s managed to once again top the charts, mount a successful tour and even try her hand at acting. This week alone she brought some star power to “Glee,” which tackled her hit-filled catalog, including “Me Against the Music.”

Much has been rumored about what Spears is working on as far as a follow-up to Circus. After it was reported that Spears might release new music sometime this year, her manager, Adam Leber, was quick to clear the air.

“No new music news right now….Wish people wouldn’t mislead you guys with BS info,” he wrote on Twitter in August. “Not cool! PS- The guys that ARE working on Brit’s next album ARE NOT talking about it…”
