While her acting career took a backseat to her incredible pop career — potentially due to Crossroads not exactly being critically acclaimed — her name was still being mentioned in casting meetings. And for one early 2000′s film in particular, we can definitely see why she was considered.

The film that Britney Spears was almost cast in

Speaking on the Hollywood Gold podcast, Legally Blonde writer Kiwi Smith discussed the making of the film and the process of casting the role of the iconic, unforgettable Elle Woods.

On the podcast, she revealed that the “Bend And Snap” scene was actually her own creation after a few cocktails and that many studios turned down the film as it felt too similar to Clueless.

Bet they’re kicking themselves still to this day.
