Britney Spears To Reprise Role Of Stalker on CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother”?
Just today on the Glosslip segment (3:00pm EST) of Shaun Daily’s BTRToday show we discussed the positive direction Britney Spears’ life has taken since her father took over as conservator for her estate, and ostensibly her life. K wrote about Britney rehiring her former long-time manager Larry Rudolph, who had guided her career (for better or worse) for ten years. It was almost 15 months ago when she fired him and her life took a serious downturn.
According to Ausiello Scoop (TV Guide Blog) Britney may get another shot at the small screen in the CBS hit sitcom, “How I Met Your Mother.” Feast your eyes:
Britney Spears and How I Met Your Mother are looking to rekindle their mutually beneficial relationship later this season. According to multiple sources, Brit’s in talks to reprise her role as Barney’s fraternal twin Ted’s stalker in at least one more episode. “It all depends on her availability,” whispers an insider.
Brit’s first go-round on Mother was a resounding success for all concerned: The yet-to-be-renewed CBS sitcom received a much-needed ratings boost and Spears made headlines for doing something other than driving to her local Starbucks.
It’s not clear whether this would also signal the return of Brit’s boss, Sarah Chalke, whose impeccable comic timing as Ted’s crush elicited shock and awe from critics despite the fact that she’s been hitting comedic home-runs for seven freakin’ years on Scrubs! Get with the program, people!
Britney received mixed reviews for her first effort on the show, with the general consensus being she was “ok” but not up for an Emmy.
But here’s the thing the mainstream media doesn’t seem to grasp, Britney is dealing with handicap. No, not the kind Heather Mills has, you know, that whole “basic instinct” thing she’s got going on, no what we mean here is, Britney is “recovering” from an episode. An episode which was clearly beyond her control.
We don’t expect the media to give her a free pass or anything, and certainly she shouldn’t be given awards for NOT acting crazy, but it takes a lot of guts and courage to keep going when you’ve been lampooned and ridiculed as much as Britney has.
I say, go for it Britney. We’ve got nothing but positive thoughts going your way.
Now please, don’t f*ck it up!

Hate to say this, but I’m not sure if it’s guts and courage or if Britney’s just too out of it (and maybe too stupid?) to know just what a complete and total laughingstock she became when she was crazy.

Exyank…she had a major mental breakdown, possibly a result of being involuntarily drugged by one of the few she trusted and one of the many who betrayed her.
Yes, it’s a life she chose, but she “chose” it when she was too young to understand all the rules.
She’s no genius but to call her stupid and crazy is unfair. The kind of once-unsolicited attention she received would likely be too much for any mere mortal to bear.

Britney was awful. I’m a fan of the show, and Britney was simply dreadful.
If people are impressed with her performance, it must be because they’re applying the Special Olympics standard: she did finish the entire episode. Woohoo!
Awful acting.
Though I suppose putting on the southern drawl instead of her normal British acting might have been a stretch: now that’s acting!

[...] I hate to say it, but I am about to defend Spears. She is in no way, shape or form fat. Her physique is impressively well maintained for popping out [...]

for being a mentally ill trainwreck, I thought she did remarkably well on that tv show.
