Paparazzi chase Britney on 'South Park' tonight!

Tonight, Britney Spears will follow in the footsteps of Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise and Robert Redford.

She's going to appear (in cartoon form) on "South Park"!

According to an insider, the potty-mouthed "South Park" prepubescents Stan and Kyle take on a mission to get a troubled Spears to the North Pole.

In a news release, a spokesman for the show reveals, "Britney Spears is trying to get away from it all in the mountains near South Park when the boys have a run-in with her. Stan and Kyle get caught up in Britney's celebrity and the never-ending feeding frenzy that follows her wherever she goes."

Sounds a bit like TMZ.

The parody of Spears airs Wednesday night. That's tonight!
