While it’s not unlike Quentin Tarantino to make unexpected casting choices (Travolta as a hitman?), you can add this bit to the Too Outrageous to Believe category.

A report in the Daily Telegraph claimed the Inglorious Bastards director had been looking to hire Britney Spears for a role as a killer lesbian. The movie, a remake of the 1965 film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, centers around a trio of strippers who terrorize a couple they find in the desert.

According to the British newspaper, both parties were eager to work together on the project. “Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant. She’s delighted. She thinks it could turn her career around,” said a source.

But late today, Access Hollywood reported what we had already guessed by now: The story isn’t true. The star’s rep told the program that Spears is actually focusing her energy on her first career.

“Though she definitely intends to explore acting roles down the road, right now she’s concentrating on recording her next album”.

Please tell me this also means the end of Britney cameos on How I Met Your Mother...
