NBC's Britney Oops NBC is in the spin control zone thanks to its stunt casting of Britney Spears on "Will & Grace."

Earlier this week, NBC issued a press release touting Spears' guest appearance on the sitcom. Per the Peacock's PR department, Spears, would appear on the Apr. 13 episode playing a religious conservative TV personality who hosts a cooking show called "Cruci-fixin's."

Faster than you could say, "Oops, they did it again," NBC was facing a beef from the American Family Association, who claimed the network was mocking the crucifixion of Jesus.

NBC now says the initial press release was sent prematurely and the show would not contain any religious elements.
