Mentally-wayward popstars appearing on desperately mediocre American sitcoms is a bit like buses, isn't it. You go years without seeing, say, Syd Barrett cameo on Home Improvement, and then suddenly Britney Spears decides to appear on How I Met Your Mother twice in quick succession, thus making her identical to a bus in that one unconvincing respect. Yes, we know that we've hardly stopped yammering on about Britney Spears returning to How I Met Your Mother, but this time it's official - a contract has been written and Britney Spears has either signed it or wiped a dirty finger along the bottom of it because she's still not allowed near anything as sharp as a pen yet. Whichever one is true, the deal's been done.
So it seems that Britney Spears really is going to appear in How I Met Your Mother again - which is great news for everyone except Neil Patrick Harris. That's because, after last time Britney Spears was on How I Met Your Mother, her co-star Neil Patrick Harris told everyone that it was just a stupid piece of stunt-casting that made everyone look silly, although he now claims that his statements were taken out of context. And now that it's all but official that Britney Spears will make a second appearance on the show, Neil Patrick Harris has made his point of view absolutely clear - he'd be thrilled to have Britney Spears back on How I Met Your Mother, because ethically-dubious stunt-casting is the only thing keeping the poxy show afloat at the moment. We're paraphrasing slightly.
The all singing, all dancing, bald, umbrella-wielding straw-dog of the world's media Britney Spears is all set to re-plaster her face across the ever-stretching, mind-sucking abyss of America’s TV screens. You will once again get to look back at her and respond to what she says and does, as if she were actually in your front room with you! Imagine that. All you need do is squint and someone as famous as Britney Spears will be hanging out with a dirty, little, scum-sucking prole like you - as if it were the most natural thing in the world!
Neil Patrick Harris has responded to yesterday’s Associated Press article which suggested he would like Britney Spears banned from the set of How I Met Your Mother by saying what he meant to say was that Britney is welcome back anytime! That’s a bit strange, isn’t it? Why on one day (yesterday) would someone say: “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeedâ€, and then one day later (today) say: “As I have said all along, Britney did a great job on the show. She really did. In fact, we are all hoping that she returns rather soon to reprise her role as Abbyâ€? What could have happened to change Neil’s mind so drastically in such a short space of time? Hmmm…
If CBS had its way then How I Met Your Mother would become the Britney Spears Laffs & Distressing Outburst Hour. But How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris isn't having any of it. He's decided to speak out about the idea of making Britney Spears a How I Met Your Mother regular, because growing an audience naturally is much better than shocking viewers into watching by parading unwell megastars around in front of them every week. Hear hear Neil Patrick Harris - finally, someone with the balls to speak out against this increasing over-reliance on chasing ratings through cheat stunt casting. Mediocre sitcoms that people only really watch because they're lazy and nothing else is on, you now have your champion.
Britney Spears made a huge impression on the set of How I Met Your Mother, and not just because she rubbed her vagina against a plywood set wall until she wore a hole in it.
In fact, since Britney Spears a) gave How I Met Your Mother its highest-ever ratings and b) managed to get through her entire cameo without puking directly into Doogie Houser's eyes, the show's producers have come up with a brainwave.
They want Britney Spears to be on How I Met Your Mother all the time. No joke.
As we all know, on How I Met Your Mother on Monday night, Britney Spears managed to get through about 10 lines without crying or showing anyone her vagina.
So it goes without saying that Britney Spears will probably get nominated for an Emmy for it. Seriously.
Since the Britney Spears episode got How I Met Your Mother its highest-ever ratings, there's now a bundle of genuine speculation that Britney Spears will snag an Emmy nomination for it. Which we're fine with, so long as the Emmys open a new category entitled Best Transparent Stunt Casting Of A Mentally Ill Celebrity To Revive A Mostly Rubbish Sitcom. And even then it'll be a toss-up between Britney and Franz Kafka's rib-tickling turn on According To Jim.
