 Britney Spears: Will guest star on CBS' 'Mother'
The troubled singer, Britney Spears will appear on the TV show 'How I Met Your Mother'.
Britney Spears had first showed off her acting skills in the widely criticized 2002 movie ‘Crossroads'. Then she had played a character on a 2006 episode of "Will and Grace". CBS spokeswoman Kelli Raftery told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she will perform in a March 24 episode of the cult series as a guest star. Raftery said, Britney will portray a receptionist in a dermatologist's office named Abby who becomes "smitten" with Ted (Josh Radnor).
The show's creator, Craig Thomas told Usmagazine.com that Spears attended a table reading with the cast on Monday, and that her scenes will probably be filmed later this week. Thomas said, the representative of Britney Spears has approached the CBS about "Mother" because "she was looking for a small part on a funny show".
"How I Met Your Mother," returning Monday with all-new episodes following the writers strike, co-stars Radnor, Jason Segal, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris as twentysomethings living in New York City. Harris portrays serial bachelor Barney Stinson, who frequently uses the word "legendary" to describe his various exploits.
Britney Spears has been under the conservatorship of her father, James, following bizarre behavior and two hospitalizations. She is also locked in a custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline over the former couple's sons, Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2. |
