Maybe they should relaunch How I Met Your Mother with Kevin Federline telling the story to the kids!

"Undergarment up!"
Sorry, I switched to "Thong up" - the consensus here was that it's 11% funnier. - MWM

Thong up! Snort!
Maybe it's a good renewal sign that HIMYM is getting all these big name guest stars. One can only hope.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is terrible news.
So, did they originally want Alicia Silverstone for the role? That's a HUGE step down.

I hope they don't plan on her being the mother. With how she's going, there's less than a 50/50 chance she'll be around next year. She's the next Anna Nicole, sorry to say.

This totally falls into the when-bad-"actors"-happen-to-good-sitcoms category. At least when she appeared on Will & Grace, that show was already three-seasons stale and her unfunnyness was on par with the rest of the episode. But HIMYM is such an amazing, witty, irreverent and smart sitcom... she probably won't get half the jokes.

When I saw the headline I kept thinking, please don't let it be HIMYM, PLEASE!!! This sucks. HIMYM is a great show and doesn't need any gimmicks like this. Do they really think people will tune in for her anyway? This is so depressing.

"So, did they originally want Alicia Silverstone for the role? That's a HUGE step down."
no, i think they mean that this casting news trumps alicia silverstone's casting news.
and i think this could be really funny. they've already had mandy moore on the show, playing against type (ie- playing someone like britney/amy winehouse); maybe they'll have britney play against type (ie- playing someone without serious mental issues).

I can't believe anybody who pays attention and a fan of this show could think this is bad news... unless you think that a possible ratings boost for a show that is in very real danger of getting cancelled is a bad thing, this is GREAT news. Even if she freaks out and bungles the whole thing, it's still big press for an underappreciated show (I also think Britney was hilarious on Will & Grace, but I'll admit she was a different girl back then.)

I wish HIMYM would stop with this gimmicky crap, and just stick to the core characters. They are also the show that brought in the Victoria's Secret models, and got no ratings bump. I think Britney is so hated now lots of people will not watch. Personally, The Big Bang Theory is so much better and funnier now that I could really care less.

FROM THE FUTURE: CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" canceled. CBS executive quoted as saying "It's like every viewer turned off their televisions, took out a gun shooting the screen, and then belched their eyes." One viewer was quoted as saying: "Will & Grace abused guest stars like a teenage boy with a naughty magazine."
