'Glee'’s Naya Rivera Lands A Cheerful Upgrade

By Sugey Palomares

"Glee" fans rejoice! Lea Michele's character Rachel may be the most popular voice on Fox’s hit television series, but Santana Lopez — played by Naya Rivera — isn’t falling behind.

According to EW.com, the on-screen cheerleader and her bff Brittany (played by Heather Morris) have been confirmed as permanent characters for next season’s script. The Puerto Rican actress definitely worked her magic during the sinful “Like a Virgin” scene for Glee’s Madonna special.

That reminds us, can they please add a Brittany Spears special episode already? Santana would own a modern-day rendition of “Hit Me Baby One More Time”!

Better yet Gleekers, let’s picture the Cheerio character getting a spin-off with rumored novio and football hunk co-star Mark Salling? Genius if you ask us.
