Britney Spears britqt.jpg Our sweet little Britney Spears playing a murderous lesbian stripper? We could never imagine such a thing - but Quentin Tarantino sure could!

The Telegraph reports that the Pulp Fiction director picked the pop princess to play the role of Varla in an upcoming remake of Russ Meyer's 1965 cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!.

But this ain't no Mickey Mouse role - Varla spends the movie (uh, spoiler warning) murdering her boyfriend, taking his new girlfriend hostage, and having sex with another girl before all the drama wraps up in a massive bloodbath!

A source describes Varla as "the most important character" in the film, and claims Tarantino "wanted to get Britney first" before signing any starlets to play her fellow stripping murderesses. "Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant," the source tells the Telegraph.

And it sounds like Britney's pleased with the role too - the paper says Brit is "delighted" by the role! "It is perfect Tarantino material," the Telegraph's source says. "She thinks it could turn her career around."

We'd sure love to see this go down - as long as Quentin's willing to treat Britney better than he treats our cameramen!
