Britney Spears Comes Back On TV!

She’ll be starring in the now popular sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" again… Britney Spears is to appear in a popular US sitcom for a second time playing a receptionist. The makers of How I Met Your Mother have invited the Pop Star back after her previous appearance drew 3 million extra viewers. Britney Spears- whose real estate is still under the control of her father- is expected to record the new episode of "How I Met Your Mother" this week before it airs May 12, 2008

The announcement comes as a surprise as actor in the show Neil Patrick Harris told us earlier this month: “She's not going to be a regular on our show… She's not an actress.” Britney Spears had a mental breakdown early in 2008 and was admitted to hospital. Hopefully news that she is working again means she is getting back on track…

Goodluck, Dear Brit.

Will Britney Spears Return to Her 'Mother'?

An executive producer for "How I Met Your Mother" says he's open to having Britney Spears return for another cameo. "We always said, 'You know, if her character pops, we'll bring her back,'" Carter Bays told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I thought she was great. I was very proud of that episode."

Spears, 26, garnered good reviews for her guest starring role as a goofy receptionist in the March 24 episode of the cult CBS sitcom. The show ended with Spears' character flirting with womanizer Barney (Neil Patrick Harris).

On the following episode, which aired Monday, the show introduced a "mystery woman" who's been sabotaging Barney's usually successful attempts to pick up ladies.

Asked if Spears might turn out to be the saboteur, Bays said: "Could be. There's no reason why not." He also suggested actress Sarah Chalke, who guest starred alongside Spears.

Bays said it was surreal to see Spears on the set.

"It was totally weird. ... I think we have a very, like, kind of Midwestern homey vibe here on the show, and it was strange to suddenly have helicopters circling," he said.

So will she or won't she come back?

"I don't know," he said. "I don't know the answer to that."
