CSI:Miami seeks a bald Britney type actress for an upcoming episode partially set in a rehab facility.

The episode “Rush”, scheduled to air April 16th, involves the murder of a movie star at a celebrity rehab center. The Britney character will not be the murder victim. While at the facility to investigate, the team will encounter a starlet who has shaved her head.

CBS confirmed that a character inspired by the bald pop star will appear in the episode, but calls Britney Spears’ influence “a small part of the episode.”

This is not the first time the “Hit Me Baby” star has inspired a television character. In September, the season premiere of Law & Order featured a character named Sky Sweet, a mother whose parenting skills are called into question when she’s observed driving with a child on her lap.
