Britney Spears has been refused a cameo on hit TV show 'Desperate Housewives'.
The singer had reportedly been begging producers for a role in the show for months but the 23-year-old star was turned down by show bosses who say guest appearances would ruin the series' appeal.
James Denton who plays Teri Hatcher's plumber boyfriend Mike Delfino, said a galaxy of stars had put their names forward for a part.
He said: "Everyone in town wants to be a guest star. Britney is my favourite. Her people have been trying to get her on the show but I can promise you that will never happen."
Earlier this month, Britney's acting ambitions were tarnished by news she was being sued for $30-million after allegedly stealing the idea for her debut movie 'Crossroads'.
Christopher Merrill says the pop babe, along with Paramount Pictures and MTV - who produced the movie and are also being sued - copied the script he wrote, called 'Dream Alive', which was submitted long before 'Crossroads'.
