Pop starlet Britney was supposedly due to play April the robot in I Was Made to Love You. She backed out at the last minute. Adam Busch (Warren) told Zap2it, “But then Britney backed out in the last minute and they got this other actress.” Coincidentally, Shonda Farr, who ended up playing April, appeared in the movie Crossroads, which starred Britney Spears.
There were rumours again that Britney was due to play another character in season seven, but Sarah Michelle Gellar apparently said no, as she felt the show wouldn’t benefit from the kind of publicity which follows Spears.
Britney is referenced in Life Serial, when the construction site foreman calls Buffy “Britney”. In Lessons, Dawn tells her class, “I love to dance. I like music. I’m very into Britney Spears’ early work before she sold out, so mostly her finger painting and macaroni art. Very underrated.”
In Sleep Tight, Angel says, “Yeah, and you look like hell. Not the fun one where they burn you with hot pokers for all eternity, but the hard core one. You know, Nixon and Britney Spears.”

Perhaps Britney was afraid it would be revealed that she is actually a robot herself, constructed in some corporate pop laboratory.

Kind of odd that the Buffy Crew wanted britney as a robot and the crew who made
Austin Powers: Goldmember actually got her to be one of those tit gun robots that explode whenever he thrusts his groin at them

All I know is a part of me would have been pissed that pop-slut Britney Spears was a part of Buffy, but another part of me would love to see her be a robot, just how she is, and get the crap beaten out of her. I guess either way I won. :)

BTVS is way too full of quality for someone with no quality

Still, imagine Buffy kicking the ever loving crap out of Britney Spears! Almost makes me wish she was on the show…almost…

I have been playing Buffy on the Xbox and every now and then when she stakes a vamp she says “oops I did it again”

Not to poop on the party, but I actually kinda like Britney. I would have been glad to see her in Buffy…I’m on my own, though. The girl who actually did play April, was in Crossroads with Britney.
