Britney Spears Does 'How I Met Your Mother'
Pop star's guest appearance will air on March 24

Britney Spears is taking a break from making tabloid headlines to shoot an episode of CBS' "How I Met Your Mother."

Shooting will take place this week on Spears' "HIMYM" guest shot and the episode will air on Monday, March 24. That will be the show's second new half-hour after returning from its strike hiatus and it will also be the show's second episode in its new 8:30 p.m. time slot after "Big Bang Theory."

Sources close to the show say that Spears will play Abby, a meek and unassuming receptionist for Ted's (Josh Radnor) dermatologist. When Ted begins to fall for the dermatologist, Abby begins to fall for Ted and makes an effort to clean up nice.

A visit to the always friendly "HIMYM" set may be the perfect rest cure for Spears, who has spent several months the midst of a general whirlwind involving custody of her children, allegations about her mental health and her always entertaining personal life.

In addition to her reality series "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic," Spears stretched her acting muscles in the feature "Crossroads" and in a guest spot on "Will & Grace."

Me too. I should have figured it wouldn't last. :shame:

And what an obvious cheap stunt on HIMYM's part. Glad I don't watch it so I don't have to see Brit.

We don't hate her, we just hate seeing all her personal problems constantly being on display. She shouldn't be working until she has all her shit together, and something tells me she needs to keep working on herself some more before she starts working again.....

Precisely. I don't hate Britney, but I'm tired of hearing about all of her insane antics. I would much rather she just focus on getting well, because I do feel sorry for her. It's just tough to feel too bad for her when she thrusts herself out into the media spotlight.

How i Met Your Mother is a critical success, but its only a modest hit in the ratings..It really could use buzz from this guest stint to boost its ratings..I might actually watch this episode and i've never had any interest in the show before..

Did any of you heard that supposedly Alicia Silverstone was supposed to guest star for 6 or so episodes..But she dropped out when Britney got cast..Apparently Britney was supposed to play her assistant..And Alicia didn't want that...

I'm surprised you all didn't have the reaction I did when I saw this on "Showbiz Tonight," lol. I heard that and I thought, "WHAT?! How'd they get her?!"

personally, I think this is HUGE for that show. It needs the buzz, and you don't get much bigger than Britney, whom the whole WORLD is obsessed with these days. They'll watch just to see what she looks like on legitimate camera again.

I just would have thought she'd do something bigger, deserving of her celebrity. (Don't get me wrong, I love HIMYM). Maybe be the latest of Charlie's WHORES on "Two and a Half Men."

I heard that and it didnt shock me. I love AS, but she is really picky and stands her ground. For whatever reason she wasnt happy about working with brit and backed out.

The HIMYM news just keeps coming.

Sources who work on How I Met Your Mother tell me Alicia Silverstone has opted out of appearing in the 14th episode of the season, which has another guest star you may have heard of...the name Britney Spears ring any bells?

I'm told Alicia is a big fan of HIMYM and wants to take part in another role at a later date—just not while Britney is there since, according to sources, it may be too "chaotic." (Hmmm...that word also ring a bell?)

Inside sources also confirm what my frenemy Michael Ausiello just reported over at TV Guide: that Scrubs' Sarah Chalke is now in line to replace Alicia in the role. Not too shabby, right? Clearly, the girl's got comedy chops and knows her way around a doctor's office...

The role that was Alicia's and now is looking like Sarah's is that of Stella, a hot doctor that Ted (Josh Radnor) has a serious crush on—and goes to ridiculous lengths to impress. As we reported yesterday, Britney is playing "Abby," the "Michael Cera-esque" receptionist for Stella. So Sarah and Britney will share some screen time (and I'm guessing Josh will be pinching himself at the surreal sandwich in which he will find himself on set!).

If you ask me, this is all a win-win-win for HIMYM. All the brouhaha over Britney should bring more attention to this fantastic show we fans are already ape-dookie over, and now we get to have Sarah Chalke (love) and still look forward to Alicia Silverstone (fingers crossed) appearing later on. Plus, you know, all the regulars and stellar writing we've already come to love.

Oh, BTW, I'm starting to develop a serious girl crush on Miss Silverstone because, clearly, the girl has impeccable taste in television. Not only is she a HIMYM fan, but Connie Britton told me Alicia once screeched to a halt and almost caused a car accident just so she could pull over to the side of the road and tell Connie how much she adores Friday Night Lights.


Honestly, that's just legen...wait for it....dary! (As the illustrious Barnito Supreme might say.)

So what do you all think of all these HIMYM developments? Dying to know, so please, post below!

that was from E!
