Britney Portrays A Receptionist In CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother”

Britney Spears is ready to try out her acting skills in a guest appearance in the CBS show “How I Met Your Mother,” celebrity gossip site TMZ.com reports.

Britney’s agent Jason Trawick from William Morris made the deal with the show’s producers. TMZ quotes an unnamed source who called it “a small legitimate project that will keep her busy doing something.”

CBS spokeswoman Kelli Raftery told the Associated Press that Britney will guest star in a March 24 episode. Her scenes will be filmed later this week. The 26-year-old pop-star will embody a receptionist in a dermatologist’s office named Abby, who falls in love with Ted (Josh Radnor). Britney attended Monday a table read for the episode, where she reportedly made a very good impression.

E! Online’s TV blog has confirmed the fact that would-be guest actress Alicia Silverstone will not join “How I Met Your Mother” cast, after learning that Britney will be on the same episode. Silverstone was replaced by Scrubs’ Sarah Chalke, who will play Stella, lead character’s Ted object of affection.

“I was shocked that Madame Spears was willing to come and do some acting! […] It will be very unlike any Britney we have seen before, and we have seen a lot of Britney recently. What if she shows up on set and she is absolutely, totally normal and that whole thing has been a big ruse? She is smoking a cigarette and (says), 'Oh yes, it is all a big bit. I have a master plan,” the show’s star Neil Patrick Harris said.

Britney will co-star with Josh Radnor, Jason Segal, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris.

Spears has previously guest starred in a 2006 episode of “Will and Grace,” where she portrayed a conservative talk show host. Britney’s father, who is also her conservator, has agreed to his daughter’s TV project. Britney is still waging a custody battle against ex-husband Kevin Federline, over their two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
