NBC has decided to cancel a controversial episode from sitcom "Will and Grace" featuring a guest appearance by Britney Spears.

Britney Spears was to portray a Christian conservative sidekick to homosexual character Jack McFarland (actor Sean Hayes), who has his own talk show on the "Out TV" cable channel.

Jack's network was to be bought out by a Christian network, eventually leading to Britney Spears' character appearing in a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixins."

Britney Spears was supposed to be a guest star in an episode aired the night before Good Friday.

The American Family Association (AFA) reports that the network cancelled plans to include a reference in the show's April 13 episode that would have offended Christians.

However, NBC now says the description of the episode was a mistake. In a recent memo to its affiliates, the network referred to some "erroneous information" that was "mistakenly included in a press release describing an upcoming episode ... which, in fact, has yet to be written."

The offensive reference to "Cruci-fixins" will not be in the show, the network went on to state, "and the story line will not contain a Christian characterization at all."

There was no comment from Britney Spears or her representatives.
