Getting the Last Laugh

Well, now we really know why the bigwigs at CBS told Neil Patrick Harris to can it. According to network sources, Britney Spears is headed back to “How I Met Your Mother.” The sitcom saw record ratings when the post-rehab pop tart guest starred on the show in March and now it appears producers want more Britney. Sources close to the show are calling the move a “mutual decision” and both parties are reportedly thrilled to be working together again. Insiders say the singer turned actress has signed on to do a single episode and will reprise her role as … Continue reading

Put a Sock in it Doogie Howser!

I think it’s finally dawning on Neil Patrick Harris that he’s better off keeping his mouth shut when it comes to Britney Spears. The “How I Met Your Mother” star is once again going public to set the record straight on remarks he made regarding Britney Spears’ recent cameo on the CBS sitcom. Earlier this week Harris was asked in an interview: “Why does such a gem of a show need Britney to get any attention?” To which the former “Doogie Howser, M.D.” star responded, “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to … Continue reading

No April Fool’s Joke—Britney, Melanie and Joey’s New Gigs

I think it’s safe to say that the animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals or PETA hasn’t exactly been Britney Spears’ biggest supporter. Which is why I honestly thought their most recent offer to the recovering popwreck was an April Fool’s joke. But according to PETA reps, their goodwill gesture (at least that’s what they’re calling it) is the real deal. According to PETA bosses, they want the singer turned TV secretary to work as a real receptionist at their Los Angeles offices. The PETA people say they were inspired to make the job offer to … Continue reading

Get a Piece of Britney

Why not? Everyone else is… or has… While I realize there are many of you who would rather not even see the name Britney Spears let alone have it attached to something you wear, know this: it’s helping the environment. Yes, you can help save the planet by shelling out a few bucks to own clothing items worn by the pop star during her recent guest appearance on CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother.” About a half dozen items of clothing (how many scenes does she have anyway) will be auctioned off to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council. The … Continue reading

Britney Spears Sitcom Star?

Will the real Britney Spears please step forward? It’s no secret that the 26-year-old pop star is guest starring on an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but who would have imagined the response from her co-stars would be so, well, uh, positive? Apparently, the reforming pop wreck is actually acting… normal. But is it all an act? According to news reports, the singer arrived on the series’ set promptly at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected back later today to finish shooting her scene. Show producers say Spears is portraying a receptionist in … Continue reading

TV Star Expresses Shock About Britney Spears Appearing on Sitcom

Well, that didn’t take long. Within hours of CBS announcing that Britney Spears landed a guest role on an upcoming episode of “How I Met Your Mother” the sitcom’s star went public expressing his shock about the news. “I was shocked that Madame Spears was willing to come and do some acting,” series regular Neil Patrick Harris told TV’s “Entertainment Tonight.” Instead of revealing whether or not he would be sharing scenes with the troubled pop star the 34-year-old actor focused on Spears’ lack of acting experience. “She hasn’t acted in a while,” Harris noted before adding, “This is a … Continue reading
