Troubled pop star Britney Spears says she is relishing her new role on "How I Met Your Mother". Spears says, "Working at How I Met Your Mother has been so terrific. Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful and Abby is such a fun girl to play. I'm having a blast!"
Kelli Raftery, spokesman of CBS said Spears attended a table reading with the cast on Monday, did a "run-through" on Tuesday and filmed scenes Wednesday. Raftery has also said that Britney Spears' divorced parents, James and Lynne has been dropped by the "Mother" set on Wednesday. The actress was scheduled to shoot scenes on Thursday.
Co-star, Josh Radnor said to People.com, "on the first day of the shoot, Britney knew her lines better than I knew mine. She's been great to work with".
