Britney Spears to Get Her Own Sitcom?

The following italicized article is from www.hollywood.tv:

U.S. TV bosses are so thrilled with BRITNEY SPEARS' guest spot on sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, they want to give the pop star her own show.

The singer's cameo as a secretary in the comedy was a huge success when it aired this week (24Mar08), attracting 10 million viewers - its highest ever ratings.

And network chiefs at CBS are now planning to hand Spears future guest appearances, before creating her own spin-off sitcom.

Sources tell the National Enquirer, "Britney did a great job playing the cute, funny receptionist - and really enjoyed herself.

"Doing a TV show will help Britney keep focused - plus keep her in Los Angeles, where she can see her kids regularly and create a positive work routine."

Adnan Slithers In. Blogs. Slithers Out.

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Adnan Ghalib slithered into the offices of photo agency Brit fans’ questions. The pap-turned-boy-toy seemed to imply that he and Britney Spears are still an item. No need to read it, though—we’ve deconstructed our favorite moments:

When asked how it feels to be on the other side of the camera for once, Adnan says, “A part of me is ashamed of the profession I chose...”

A part of you? Like your brain? That part?

Explaining his "relationship" with Amanda (the waitress who reportedly came between him and Spears), Adnan explains that he didn't cheat on Brit. Amanda “was dating a friend of mine who I checked in on often. But she had ulterior motives.”

You tell 'em, Adnan! We think it’s appalling when people try to insert themselves into a media circus for their own personal gain. What kind of scum bag would do that? Oh. Right.

Answering criticism about his decision to answer questions on a blog, the always altruistic Adnan says, "If I don’t answer on this blog, then two things happen: (1) The magazines will not be accurate with what I say and (2) I will have to be paid and I don’t want to profit off my relationship.”

This is us staring at the screen in disbelief.

Britney's Toxic Trio

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

As Britney Spears continues to cool her heels under the supervision of her father Jamie Spears, there are a trio of former bad influences — former constant companion Sam Lutfi, boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, and her party-girl cousin Alli Sims — biding their time, waiting for the day when the pop princess is unleashed.

First up is Brit's former shadow Sam, whom OK! can report has gone from riding the singer's coattails to fixing leaky plumbing and broken windows as the superintendent of his run-down condo in Venice Beach, Calif. Britney's dad has attempted to erase Sam from his daughter’s life by seeing to it that the restraining order against him is enforced to its fullest. However, Sam insists exclusively to OK!, “I’m a good person, and all that matters is that Britney’s getting better.”

Sure...

Of the three, Adnan, Brit’s notorious paparrazo beau, is the one who has the most contact with her and is the only one who gets to see her in the flesh. “She can call and text him," a Spears family insider tells OK!. "But Jamie has limited his physical appearances in the house.” In fact, the swarthy photog has reportedly been turned away at the gates of Brit's private community, The Summit, at least twice.

Rounding out the trio is Britney's fame-hungry cousin-about-town Alli, who had been using her family member to push herself into the spotlight. Except, as soon as Brit was committed for the first time this year, Alli was on a plane to New York City to "work on her album."

Immediately following Brit's release into her father's care, the singing superstar was banned from texting Alli. However, Jamie has recently decided to permit brief phone calls between the pair. “Alli agreed not to be in communication with her close friend Sam Lutfi in order to be granted permission to call and text Britney,” the insider tells OK!.

Only time will tell if Britney is able to succesfully avoid the tempting lure of her former party posse, or if this time in relatively quiet lockdown has helped her to see who really has her best interests in mind.

Britney Spears Propels 'How I Met Your Mother' To Series High

The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:

Britney Spears' return to scripted television had viewers tuning in at record numbers Monday night.

Call it curiosity or possibly fans rooting for a celebrity-underdog, for whatever reason, Britney's appearance on CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" boosted the series to its highest ratings ever in its three-season history with adults 18-49 and adults 25-54, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings.

But what are the critics saying about Britney's performance?

Tom Gliatto of People said Britney managed to jump the acting hurdles she faced, writing, "Her challenge was clear: Demonstrate that, even though she seems in recent months to have been traveling through life on the roaring, ragged edge of a tornado, she could still stop and stand still long enough to perform on camera, be as naturally charming as the role permitted, and let the audience conclude: 'Well, she SEEMS all right. She seems like Britney.'"

He doesn't think the script did enough with the potential triangle between the characters played by Britney, Josh Radnor, and Sarah Chalke.

"[Britney's] best scene came at the very end: Abby, letting herself be seduced by the ridiculously rakish Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), unexpectedly and enthusiastically upped the ante. It was a sort of fantasy validation: This loser secretary, who tried to find herself reading self-help books, was transformed into a fun girl with thoughts only of uncomplicatedly naughty good times," Gliatto writes.

"As she bolted from the office with Harris, it was as if Britney were rushing out to meet her former self," he added.

As for the acting professional's take on Britney's sitcom stint? The pop princess is getting more high marks.

"She did pretty good, there was a sweetness to her, a vulnerability," Charna Halpern, artistic director of Chicago’s Improv Olympic Comedy Club, told Us Magazine. "She looked beautiful and had screen presence, even when she was behind the desk and they made her look kind of homely, she was adorable."

Aliza Shane, senior director of NYC’s Looking Glass Theater agreed, telling Us Britney's role was, “over the top, and she certainly went for it. Clearly, she likes being on camera, no one can argue that!"

Tina Fey Would Love To Have Brit On '30 Rock'

Tina Fey Would Welcome A Britney Guest Spot: With the success of her appearance on "How I Met Your Mother," Britney is the talk of the sitcom world. Tina Fey of "30 Rock" told Access Hollywood in a conference call with reporters that even though the hit NBC show tends to write guest spots with the actors already in mind, "We would love to work with Britney," Fey said when asked if Britney were to approach the show. "I’ve worked with her twice on 'Saturday Night Live' and she was very professional and nice." So what do you say Brit? You and Kenneth would make a great dynamic NBC page duo!

Yes, Mother, Britney Can Still Draw a Crowd

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Britney Spears gawking lives.

Spears' guest appearance on Monday's How I Met Your Mother helped boost the sitcom by 1 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research stats show.

The CBS show averaged a season-high 10.7 million viewers, up from last week's 9.7 million.

It was the most-watched prime-time Spears moment of the Spears family's especially tumultuous last six months. It topped Britney Spears' sleepwalking routine at the MTV Video Music Awards (7.1 million). And it topped the first new Zoey 101 (7.3 million) to air in the wake of teenager Jamie Lynn Spears' announcement that she was pregnant.

How I Met Your Mother was Britney Spears' first gig since the MTV debacle gave way to months of personal, but not terribly private, drama. On it, she plays a sensitive secretary at a dermatologist's office visited by Josh Radnor's Ted. She appears about, rough estimate, 1,000 percent more engaged than she did at the Video Music Awards.

Spears curiosity factor or no, How I Met Your Mother remained an also-ran on Monday.

Updated: Just ’cause You’ve Been Asking

The following italicized article is from www.jfxonline.com:

HEY GUYS, RONNIE HERE. WE’RE DONE FOR THE DAY. IF YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG IN THE COMMENTS, YOU’LL KNOW WHY. BUT DON’T FRET, ADNAN’S AGREED TO COME BACK TOMORROW AND FINISH UP THE REST OF THE QUESTIONS. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TIME WE’LL GET TO POSTING AGAIN SO JUST KEEP CHECKING BACK! CHEERS FROM JFX.

Hi everyone, it’s Adnan. Sorry it’s taken a while to get your questions answered. I want to say thanks to those for the support, you know who you are….

I am anxious to see how this goes. If it goes well, we’ll definitely do this again and I’ll answer those questions that I did not have the time to answer. Who knows? It may become a regular event.

God Bless.

Question 17: Can you give an expl[a]nation with the cross you wear around your neck?

Answer 17: It was a gift from a friend that he picked up for me when he went to Argentina. That in itself is its value to me.

Question 16: How does being under the microscope affect your life professionally and privately? All the negatives and the positives no one can understand on being on the outside looking in and the sudden changes in lifestyles?

Answer 16: The first thing I learned is that the media don’t like ‘happy in Hollywood’ and its sad how the business has changed. A part of me is ashamed of the profession I chose but there are still a few respectful companies/photogs out there.

Question 15: Also….somewhere it mentioned that Adnan owns the company that he used to work (photograph) for…anyone know if this is true?

Answer 15: I wish that were true but I only freelanced for them.

Question 14: How is your family handling all the media attention and negative attention you have received?

Answer 14: Not well at all.

Question 13: What was your relationship with Sam?

Answer 13: None. Never had one.

Question 12: What is the deal with the whole Amanda thing? [What] is the nature of your relationship with her?

Answer 12: She was dating a friend of mine who I checked in on often. But she had ulterior motives.

Question 11: Do you know why X17 (and quite often lately TMZ) posts mostly negative things about you?

Answer 11: X17 has lost a valuable source and I have refused to partake. So the war is on. As for TMZ, well, they are who they are.

Question 10: Can any of the people that have followed her for awhile (paps) able to help her parents prove what Sam was doing to her?

Answer 10: I think they knew but not to the full extent. I feel I did enough.

Question 9: When can we purchase Team Adnan t-shirts?

Answer 9: Gigi, I will send you one if you like.

Question 8: How does it feel to date Britney Spears?

Answer 8: Actually, I view it as any other relationship… other than the media circus of course.

Question 7: Are you only with Britney until she is better? Have you ever cheated on her?

Answer 7: No. Never. Not on Britney or any of my past relationships.

Question 6: What is your main source of income these days?

Answer 6: Check out question 1 below. Why, do you have a job for me?

Question 5: Do you see Sam entering back into Britney’s life?

Answer 5: I’m sure he will try. He is relentless. Keep an eye out for an attempted comeback.

Question 4: How do you view the conservatorship?

Answer 4: Positive. As I would anything that is good.

Question 3: Why are you answering questions on a blog? Rubs everyone the wrong way.

Answer 3: If I don’t answer on this blog, then two things happen. 1) The magazines will not be accurate with what I say and 2) I will have to be paid and I don’t want to profit off my relationship.

Question 2: Are you being paid to wear Christian’s clothes?

Answer 2: No. I knew Christian before my relationship with Britney and have worn his clothes for years.

Question 1: What are you doing for cash these days?

Answer: I was fortunate that I had an extensive archive of pictures and video over the next few years and for now, but not for long, I have a reasonable income. I don’t need much to get by anyway.

Update: Thanks to everyone who submitted questions and comments. Adnan will be answering about 30 questions over the next hour, so bear with us as he types up his answers.

Britney's Comeback Plans

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Gone are the pink wigs, ratty hair and fake british accent the world has come to associate with Britney Spears. In their place, a fresh faced, natural brunette who has been reporting to work, making regular visits with her sons and seems in general, to be focused on taking her life back.

On March 24, the once reigning pop star made a highly anticipated cameo appearance on the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. Her performance was so good, she managed to wow not only the audience, but her co-stars as well.

"The only thing scandalous about this is how un-scandalous it all is," says HIMYM co-star, Josh Radnor, of Britney's appearance on the show.

Playing Abby, the nerdy receptionist, the bit part is just one of the baby steps the singer seems bent on taking to get back in fighting form. As she begins to rediscover herself, she seems to also be rediscovering her love for dance.

In addition to teaching kids at Millennium Dance Complex, the singer has been rehearsing alone, stopping in for two hours at a time to learn a chair routine for her new song, Hot as Ice. Sources say Britney may even want to open her own dance studio in the future and is considering The Dome, a 25oo sq. foot section of Millennium, currently closed.

Even Brit's father, Jamie Spears, seems to be loosening up on his rules---a bit.

"Britney is addicted to driving," An insider tells OK!. "Initially, her father wouldn't let her drive at all, but he knows how much she loves it and it calms her, so he's softened the restriction. He now lets her toodle around the block in her gated community."

Britney Back to Old Habits?

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

As millions of people around the country tuned in at home to watch the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother on Monday night to watch — and judge — the first acting gig for Britney Spears in two years, the pop star and mother of two wasn't anywhere near the TV in her Studio City home, but at Dominick's restaurant with friends, sending text messages, sipping on Cokes and munching on ravioli — her favorite dish at one of her favorite haunts.

And while in some ways it's a positive that Brit is out and about again without being on the leash of her father Jamie Spears, some insiders are concerned that this might signal a return to the pop star's previously questionable behavior.

"No matter what her dad says publicly, and no matter how many tantrums she's thrown, Britney loves the attention of the paparazzi and the crowds," one source explains to OK!, citing the pop star's earlier trip to Dominick's on March 21. "Her father had been able to sneak Brit out of the gates of The Summit, but then she heads to a restaurant where she's eaten a million times before with Alli Sims."

When the 26-year-old superstar exited Dominick's on Friday, where another source tells OK!, "they treat her like a queen," the singer had nothing but smiles for the couple of savvy camerman who had tracked her down. "She was happy to have been found," says the source. "If she goes out and doesn't cause a ruckus, she gets down on herself."

However, one thing that won't get Britney down in the dumps are the ratings from Monday's airing of How I Met Your Mother. While the numbers weren't Super Bowl-sized, they were the highest ever for the sitcom, which could be a good sign that we'll be seeing more of Brit on the small screen in the future.

OMG! She went to a friggin restaurant? Who on earth goes to a restaurant? OK...That does it for me...Lock her up! She's insane...A restaurant...What the hell was she thinking? (End of sarcasm)

Britney Spears Dines With Bodyguard on Night of TV Debut

The following italicized article is from www.usmagazine.com:

Britney Spears celebrated her big TV comeback Monday night with a dinner date with her bodyguard and a female friend in Beverly Hills.

Throughout her meal at Italian restaurant Dominick's, Spears, 26 — who did not drink — spoke in her British accent, a fellow diner tells Usmagazine.com.

"She looked so good, completely normal," the eyewitness adds. "She was smiling and laughing in the loud obnoxious Britney laugh."

The singer had a good reason to rejoice: Her cameo on CBS' Hot I Met Your Mother helped the show earn its highest ratings ever!

(Mother spiked to a series high 4.5 preliminary rating among adults 18-49, according to the Hollywood Reporter.)

Critics also praised her performance.

Fabolous Gives Britney Spears' Musical Comeback A Helping Hand

The following italicized article is from www.starpulse.com:

Hip-hop star Fabolous is helping Britney Spears get her pop career back on track - he's recorded a song for her forthcoming album. The Trade It All rapper was recently called into the studio to record his part of the song, but admits he was a little disappointed when he found out Spears wasn't going to be attending the session herself.

He tells MTV.com, "I didn't get to kick it with (Spears), but the people from her record label was on top of that..."

And after all her personal troubles at the start of 2008, Fabolous hopes she will soon be back to her best: "I don't know what condition Britney is in right now. Hopefully - more power to her - she'll get in a better space and position. Somebody needs to sit her down, let her know what the deal is."

Spears has since returned to work for the first time since her mental breakdowns in January - on Monday she was spotted at Hollywood's Alleycat Recording Studio, the same day her cameo appearance on How I Met Your Mother aired on CBS to glowing reviews.

Review of Britney Spears’s Comeback Role

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

The audience understood from the get-go that Britney Spears’s cameo role on Monday night’s How I Met Your Mother was more about damage control than acting.

Her challenge was clear: Demonstrate that, even though she seems in recent months to have been traveling through life on the roaring, ragged edge of a tornado, she could still stop and stand still long enough to perform on camera, be as naturally charming as the role permitted, and let the audience conclude: “Well, she SEEMS all right. She seems like Britney.”

And she did all that in the space of a few mild comic moments. At least she balanced out that weird MTV awards appearance last fall where she looked like a Bond girl who’d come out of a coma.

Her part on the CBS sitcom wasn’t as cartoonishly flamboyant as her 2006 appearance on Will & Grace, as Amber-Louise, the Southern conservative co-host of a gay talk show. This time she played Abby, a humdrum receptionist in the office of a dermatologist.

In fact, the very first shot of the half-hour was of Britney at her receptionist’s desk, staring off like some girl in a Vermeer painting, or perhaps more precisely like Scarlett Johansson in a movie about Vermeer.

Frankly, I would have made the entire half-hour an ingenious stunt: Everything was happening IN THE HEAD of this sad, dreamy girl. But that was not the plot: Ted (Josh Radnor), undergoing a series of laser treatments to remove a tattoo, had a crush on the dermatologist doing the zapping (Scrubs’s Sarah Chalke), but the doctor kept resisting his efforts at flirtation.

The receptionist, meanwhile, developed a crush on Ted.

The script didn’t make much of this potential triangle. Britney mostly smiled with a sort of likable, hopeful pathos (except for one brief moment, when she handed the doctor a file with a bluntness that seemed inexplicably hostile).

Well, what’s wrong with likable, hopeful pathos? Plenty of celebrities would kill for even that.

But her best scene came at the very end: Abby, letting herself be seduced by the ridiculously rakish Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), unexpectedly and enthusiastically upped the ante. It was a sort of fantasy validation: This loser secretary, who tried to find herself reading self-help books, was transformed into a fun girl with thoughts only of uncomplicatedly naughty good times.

As she bolted from the office with Harris, it was as if Britney were rushing out to meet her former self.

How I Met Your Mama

Okay ... so what did y'all think about Britney Spears's guest starring part on CBS's How I Met Your Mother which aired last night? I must admit, I wasn't home to watch the show when it aired at 8:30pm but I did watch it before I went to bed. Here are a few screencaps from Britney's appearance on the show:
In case you missed the show last night you can watch the entire episode in 4 parts HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. I was actually surprised at how small Britney's part was in the ep ... but I guess it makes sense that she play the whacky receptionist, especially considering the way things have been going in her life lately. It makes sense to ease her back into the public consciousness without overstepping too soon. I loved the Sarah Chalke character (which was originally supposed to be played by Alicia Silverstone, who I understand bowed out of the part after learning that Britney was cast as well for fear of being overshadowed) and I thought the whole ep was really funny overall. That being said, I think Brit could've been a little bit more natural ... her lines seemed a bit forced, as if she spent a lot of time enunciating before shooting her scenes ... but I was so happy to see that she pulled off the part perfectly. Her awkward manner of speaking fit in nicely with the character (and as much as I love her, I know her awkwardness wasn't by intentional design ... it looked like nerves). People magazine has posted a very thorough treatise on Brit Brit's performance HERE, in case you're interested. It's an intiguing read, if a bit too serious and overblown. I think this was a great little comeback for our dear Britney. I would've never imagined that she'd be back to semi-normal so soon after her mental breakdown in January (that was just 2 months ago, folks). Things are looking up ... I really believe she can keep things on the upswing from here on out :)

UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that last night's ep of How I Met Your Mother, guest starring Britney Spears, was the show's highest rated show ever. Hollllllla!

Britney's Back….and On Top!

As we mentioned last week, Britney Spears was set to appear in the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

And, surprisingly enough, when it aired last night, the show received its highest ratings ever!

Even more surprising, the critics liked it!

The Associated Press stated, "Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer. The 26-year-old pop star, who previously was on a 2006 episode of Will and Grace, appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, capably filling the small role."

The Daily News stated that for "those who hang on every one of Britney's career moves, this bold casting decision worked out. Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing, and with some of the nuances she brought to the character, you'd almost swear she'd been there before."

Could this possibly be the comeback Britney and the rest of the world has been waiting for?

We sure hope so!
