ISN'T SHE LUCKY, THIS HOLLYWOOD BABY: For what's apparently (yet again) a "bubble show," that HIMYM has managed to score an appearance by Britney Spears as a Ted love interest is rather impressive (though I'm unsure if it'll actually bring in ratings). That said, I'm not sure if I buy her as "sweet and friendly and scattered and a little nerdy—a female Michael Cera," the apparent description of her part. Though credit is due for putting her there while casting Mandy Moore as the slut with the tramp stamp. The episode airs three weeks from tonight.

ETA: Apparently, Britney's presence has angered formerly scheduled guest star Alicia Silverstone, who's bowed out, to be replaced by Sarah Chalke as a dermatologist/love interest for Ted. (However, Michael Auseillo suggests in the same article that Silverstone is still likely to show up, perhaps even as "Your Mother," at a later time.)
