Original Air Date: May 12, 2008
This episode is all about Lily and Marshall selling some of their stuff to raise the funds they need to get the slanted floor in their new apartment fixed, as well as Barney and Abby (Guest Star Britney Spears) getting revenge on Ted for dumping them both.
When still-jobless Marshall learns it’s going to cost $1500, much more than the estimate, to repair the floor in his and Lily’s new apartment, he decides she needs to sell some of her expensive clothes online since his dowdy clothes aren’t the kind of things people would actually pay …read more

Tonight, in fact.
So, check out a sneak peek (and some hideous matching sweaters) from the May 12th episode “Everything Must Go” after the jump. Then cross your fingers, along with me, that this doesn’t become a regular thing.
I know BS helped the ratings when she appeared the first time, but there really is such a thing as too much. One more episode with her on and I’ll have my fill.

I’ve gotta give it up for How I Met Your Mother’s showrunners — it doesn’t look like they’re ever going to run out of ways to make Barney even more of a lech. A lovable lech, yes; but, a lech nonetheless.
And, that’s pretty much the theme of “The Final Four.” Barney comes up with yet another way, this time sports-related, to deal with his complicated love life when someone starts making it more complicated than usual.
How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS at 8:30pm EST.

Original Air Date: March 24, 2008
TED goes to a dermatologist for a consultation about getting his “butterfly tramp stamp” tattoo removed and meets pretty doctor STELLA ZINMAN (Guest Star Sarah Chalke of Scrubs).
Instantly smitten, he takes her up on her offer to go see what she feels is the worst movie ever, Plan 9 from Outer Space (he believes Manos: The Hands of Fate is worse), thinking the occasion is a date. When he offers to pay at the movie theater and Stella’s three girlfriends quickly jump onboard, Ted realizes that he’s actually hanging out with Stella on a …read more

Well, the March 24th episode of How I Met Your Mother is the one celeb-crazed viewers have been waiting for. That’s right — it’s Britney Spears time!!! And, more importantly for true comedy lovers, super Scrubs star Sarah Chalke is set to appear, too.
“Ten Sessions” feature Spears as a receptionist who gets the hots for Ted while Ted is busy getting the hots for her boss, played by Chalke.
Watch and be amazed. I just hope the Spears frenzy proves worth all the effort the media and Mother showrunners have put into it.

Entertainment gossip rag Us Magazine recently published an exclusive interview with How I Met Your Mother creator Craig Thomas. He was present at a cast table reading on Monday that featured celebrity mess and soon-to-be HIMYM guest star Britney Spears.
Here are a few bits and pieces of what we learn about Spears and her specific episode, currently scheduled to premiere on March 24, in the Q&A.

Spears sat with cast members for about 90 minutes during the script run-through.
Spears sought out HIMYM because she was looking for a small, funny role, presumably to help resurrect her currently disastrous career. …read more

This is just like a darn soap opera.
When I finished writing this post the first time last weekend, the title was “How I Met Your Mother Snags Alicia Silverstone.” I then moved on to something else and promptly forgot to publish it.
By the time I remembered the post, more stuff had happened. So, I renamed the article “How I Met Your Mother Snags Alicia Silverstone and Britney Spears.”
That was last night. Now even more stuff has happened, and I’ve renamed the post yet again, scrapping any direct references to guest stars all together should additional casting developments …read more

Whoa! Now I feel so good about not bothering to watch MTV anymore these days. Last night, the improbably named Music Television network broadcast the 2007 edition of its revamped Video Music Awards from Las Vegas, and the pop star formerly known as Britney Spears was the much-hyped opening act.
As you’ve most certainly heard by now, the troubled 25-year-old turned in a disastrous “comeback performance,” trudging around the stage like a modern-day zombie in an ill-fitting and ill-advised sparkly black bikini while badly pseudo lipsynching the fairly decent tune “Gimme More” from her forthcoming album. The whole …read more
