Gina Rodriguez Gushes About Britney Spears Guesting on Jane the Virgin: She’s
Speaking on HuffPost Live, she said: “Britney Spears was my pop star!”
The 33-year-old performer said, “I’m not ready to leave Vegas yet!” The two women have already started working together and Gina has been thoroughly impressed by Britney, not least when she saw her in a scene with Jaime Camil, who stars as Jane’s biological father.
“You can tell she’s got comedy chops like nobody’s business”, the Golden Globe-winning actress told host Alex Miranda. “Britney Spears was my Popstar!” Australia Network News reports that she may guest star on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black as a new inmate, as actress Kate Mulgrew hinted that the fourth season will feature overcrowding issues in Litchfield Penitentiary. As for that recent incident – when someone said she was using her Latino heritage as “marketing” – she would very much like to correct that misconception. “‘Cause she was light and love and giving, and it’s a great episode”.
OITNB’s Taryn Manning, who co-starred with Spears and Zoe Saldana in the 2002 coming of age film Crossroads, also hinted at wanting the pop singer to join the cast. “I was never aware of the effects of bullying until I got older and saw it in my nieces and nephews and in my cousins, until I saw the way social media had changed and actually made it more accessible to be cruel”, she says. At least that’s Rodriguez’s story, who admits growing up as a teen wishing she was the “Oops, I Did It Again” crooner. “She held her own and more”.
“I get to dance with her!”
Additionally, we also get pictures of Petra strutting down the hallway of The Marbella, Jane having a private conversation with Michael, and Rafael and Michael sitting with one another (I’m guessing that’s Jane sitting across from them). Jane the Virgin’s second season premieres October 12 at 9 p.m. on The CW.
