Britney's Next Single "If You Seek Amy"

Pop princess Britney Spears (spotted yesterday arriving at a dance studio) has announced her next single off her successful new album "Circus" (sold over half a million copies the first week) will be the track "If You Seek Amy."

The singer, who seemingly cleaned up her act last year, has had a great deal of success in the past 10 months, beginning with her buzzworthy appearance on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."



The first single off "Circus" titled "Womanizer" became an international smash hit, leading into several MTV Europe Music Awards and a great launch of her new album. Brit will begin her new world tour back where she belongs, March 3 in Louisiana.

The singer still gets a little anxious around the paparazzi, as visible in the image above (taken 2 days ago). Fortunately, there no longer seems to be any vagina-flashing. For now, that is.

The meanies among us may have been disappointed when Britney Spears pulled herself together and appeared on stage all sparkly and sober at last night's MTV Video Music Awards, avoiding a disaster of Brittastic proportions, such as her infamous Las Vegas fiasco, exactly a year ago.

An opening comedy segment with Superbad's Jonah Hill, a standing ovation from the star-studded crowd as she appeared on stage to introduce Rihanna, and later, three Moonmen including video of the year, made Versace-clad Spears' appearance at the overall safe and tedious 25th Anniversary VMA telecast last night, a much-needed success.

Then again, would she have pulled it off if she'd had to actually perform last night?

VIDEO: Alyson Hannigan on Britney

"How I Met Your Mother" star Alyson Hannigan says they have the best writers in television. Well, you got that right, sunshine! Your comedy is hilarious and so are you, Lilly dearest. Former "Buffy" star talks about Britney, the show's charity website and next week's season finale. Judging by the fact there will be a cliffhanger, I hope season 4 renewal is a shoe-in.

VIDEO: Britney Spears to Return to "Mother" Again and Again?

If you're a fan of CBS' buzzworthy comedy "How I Met Your Mother," but don't really like Britney Spears, you may not be happy to hear the bubblegum pop star could be back if the legen... wait for it... dary! show is renewed for a 4th season. But given all the guest stars abuse on shows like "Will & Grace" I say taking Spears' stunt and turning it into a plot-advancing device is pure genius.

As far as I'm concerned Craig Thomas and his writers have once again proven this gem of a show is built on great content. Even if there may be celebrity guest star stunts to occasionally give the comedy a ratings bump it deserves, the quality has not been compromised as it remains one of the most hilarious half-hour laughers on television today.

Check out the stills & spoilers from Britney's 2nd HIMYM episode.

Britney Spears on "How I Met Your Mother" Again

Fallen pop princess Britney Spears is back on TV's coolest sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS this Monday night. Here is a little taste of Brit Brit's latest attempt to rebuild her career.

Barney (the hilarious Neil Patrick Harris) and Abby (Spears) will realize that they have one thing in common - their mutual hatred of Ted (Josh Radner). The "couple" decides to go to the bar to flaunt their new relationship in Ted's face.

Spears, who approached the show producers herself with the proposal to make an appearance on the show, gave "How I Met Your Mother" a solid ratings boost pushing their audience well over 10 million viewers in March.



Although CBS has been reluctant to renew the sitcom for a fourth season (the network honchos are allegedly not too fond of it), given all the buzz and ratings improvements, they may have no alternative when they announce their fall line-up at an Upfronts event in New York on Wednesday.

Britney To Do "Mother" Again?

This week's amazing Barney-centric episode of CBS' comedy "How I Met Your Mother" was sheer proof that this hilarious sitcom can be at the top of its game without any celebrity guest star gimmicks. And yet, the producers are negotiating with Britney Spears to return for at least one more episode this season as Ted's stalker and Sarah Chalke's receptionist.


Hoping to prove that the only thing better than a good thing is overdoing the good thing, the troubled pop star is about to help herself stay in the positive limelight for a little bit longer and, hopefully, help the buzzworthy sitcom boost its ratings and earn a 4th season pick-up.



Not that the show which had been on the bubble before its return on St.Patrick's Day needs much help. This has creatively been a gem of a season and the ratings have recently perked up thanks to a little switch with the rookie sitcom "The Big Bang Theory." Rumor has it, the show will be back in the fall after all.

Britney Spears on "How I Met Your Mother"

Britney Spears has taped her appearance in the March 24 episode of CBS' buzz-hungry sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" (which returns with an all-new, post-strike, St.Patrick's Day-themed episode tonight, yay!) and according to star Neil Patrick Harris, she was very professional. Phew!


As you may have heard, Alicia Silverstone, who was slated to appear in the sitcom in a multi-episode arc, bailed out when she learned that Spears was coming on board to play her assistant. Silverstone was supposed to play Ted's new lover/dermatologist, a role that went to Scrubs' Sarah Chalke.


Harris phoned into the Ryan Seacrest show to talk about Britney, who allegedly wanted to appear on the sitcom. I'm not sure whether Britney really is a fan of "How I Met Your Mother," but the buzz she has generated for this hilarious show over the past week has most definitely been welcome.



According to rumors "How I Met Your Mother" is once again on the bubble and CBS has yet to confirm whether the show would return for a 4th season. This year the show has averaged 7.97 million viewers, down from last year's 9.9 million. The ratings have however been heavily impacted by the absence of new episodes in early 2008.


Tonight the show moves to its new, post-Big Bang Theory slot at 8:30pm. Will the move and the Britney stint help spike up the ratings? I certainly hope so.

VIDEO: Britney Spears' Catastrophic 2007 MTV Video Music Awards Live Performance

SEPTEMBER 9, 2007: Four years after she locked lips with Madonna before the release of her last studio album "In the Zone," Britney Spears tried and failed to stage a comeback at Sunday night's Video Music Awards in Las Vegas lipsynching and limping her way through her new single "Gimme More" and wasting the plum opening spot of the show in the process.

The fading 25-year old pop star who is now better known for her bizarre antics splashed all over tabloids than her musical merit is said to have spent the week partying. This was tragically obvious in her lifeless and ill-timed delivery of the new track "Gimme More."

The troubled singer who is believed to be acting out the way she does due to her insecurities and general lack of confidence may also have shot herself in the foot by dressing up for the number in a stripper outfit. Being the mother or two and a junk-food addict should not have allowed for that digression.

Having said that, I do have to admit I actually find Britney somewhat attractive in some of these images. I didn't just say that, did I? Well, at least she doesn't look starved like all the models and actresses nowadays do.
