Super Britney?

What would Britney Spears’ superhero name be? I guess y’all can make up your own names for her, because Brit’s going the animated route. Yes, Brit’s new music video for her single “Break The Ice” is definitely very anime-inspired. The single’s set to release on April 14, but I’m sure all Brit fans already know the song from her current album, Toxic. She has been really busy lately and probably didn’t have time to do a proper video. This is definitely a creative way to introduce a new song and will be a surprise for her fans. Can’t wait to see how the video turns out.

LATEST: Troubled pop star BRITNEY SPEARS landed an appearance on her favourite U.S. sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER after the singer's agent asked the makers to create a character for her.
Spears - who will appear as doctor's receptionist Abby - is a huge fan of the show, and deemed a guest role in the series a perfect assignment at this juncture of her turbulent career.

"They said she was looking for a small part on a funny show, and she checked out our show and liked it. They were really receptive to the idea of bringing Britney in and just doing a funny role for her. It all came together really quickly - it was kind of shocking.
"She seemed to have a great time, and we had a great time working with her. It was just like really a normal table read."
Spears will shoot her scenes this week (begs10Mar08), with the episode scheduled for broadcast on U.S. cable channel CBS on 24 March (08).

Since Britney's release from the hospital over a month ago, Kevin has been growing ever closer to his former in-laws, even playing a round of golf with Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, over the weekend.Following her visit with the tots, Lynne headed over to the set of How I Met Your Mother to watch Britney hard at work on the hit CBS sitcom. The pop star, who arrived at the studio around 7:30am on Monday with two bodyguards, will star in a guest role as a receptionist.

Lynne Visiting Britney On Set!

We were wondering why Britney Spears's bodyguard rushed back to her house while our girl was shooting!
He returned to Brit's Summit home to pick up mom Lynne and bring her back to the studio to visit Britney on the set. They should be arriving in Brit's black Escalade any minute!
So nice of Lynne to support her daughter while she films - hope it's going well!
UPDATE - Lynne still hasn't arrived at the studio - looks like she's stopped to shop first!
Stay tuned for more updates!

Cover Story:At Home With Britney

For the last six weeks, Britney Spears has essentially been grounded by her daddy, Jamie Spears, in a desperate measure to save her life. Of course, there are worse places to be holed up than her $7.2 million, 7,400-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa in Studio City.As part of her dad's restrictions, the 26-year-old is no longer allowed to hit the night clubs in L.A., hang out with her paparazzi pals or make frequent, erratic stops at gas stations, fast-food joints and public bathrooms. A friend of the the singer tells OK! that Brit recently snuck a text message to them saying, "I'm so bored. I hate my life."Now, a typical day with Britney includes spending hours alone in her bedroom, which a frequent visitor to the home tells OK! is "like a princess' room with several walk-in closets and a spa tub, plus a long counter where she used to keep all her wigs." Jamie, who stays in a room downstairs, leaves his daughter alone when she's in her private suite. And since she's no longer allowed to go out, the pop star now spends hours in front of the mirror trying on different outfits. "Changing clothes all day long must seem harmless enough, so her dad doesn't interfere with that," a friend of Britney explains to OK!. "She'll change three or four times on days when she's not leaving the house." Some of those clothes include "fat clothes" that Britney likes to wear when she's feeling bloated or out of shape. Friends say the singer keeps a secret closet stocked with these loose-fitting garments for just these occasions. One thing visitors to Britney's home are surprised to discover is that the seemingly scatterbrained star keeps a clean house. "Her life may seem out of control, but the inside of her house is very ordered," a friend of the singer tells OK!. "She's very clean and has no clutter."An even bigger surprise inside the house — a shrine to ex boyfriend, Justin Timberlake!Sources tell OK! that few people have seen Brit's collection of private mementos from her years with the pop superstar. "She's obsessed with him," the source reveals. "She has pictures of them together and has devoted a private area just to celebrate him."

"Break The Ice" Music Video A Cartoon

If "Break The Ice" is a freakin cartoon for a music video for real, I'll first laugh my ass off, then throw any sharp object around me at the closest person in proximity, then cry. The Sun is reporting that these are stills from the upcoming music video for "Break The Ice," even claiming it was Britney's idea to have a cartoon for the video: "The audacious promo to forthcoming single Break The Ice is set in a futuristic world, and sees Brit depicted as a pretty, slim line superhero. And the unorthodox shoot was the star’s own idea. She told label bosses she wanted a cartoon version of her celebrated Toxic clip." Guess we can't have it all! Would prefer her to get healthy then a new video shoot anyway.

Britney Spears "Was Laughing A Lot" on How I Met Your Mother Set

Usmagazine.com has confirmed that Britney Spears will guest star on the March 24 episode of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
The pop star, 26 will play Abby, a receptionist at a dermatologist’s office who falls for architect Ted (Josh Radnor) when he comes in to have a tattoo removed. (It is Spears' first return to the small screen since a 2006 cameo on Will & Grace.)
In Abby’s first scene, she bursts in during Ted’s painful session.
“Doctor, are you all right? I heard a woman screaming!” Abby says. Seeing Ted, she giggles.
Us spoke exclusively to show creator Craig Thomas about Spears, who attended a table reading with the cast on Monday.
Tell Us how this all came about.Britney’s people ended up coming to CBS and expressing interest in our show, and we were thrilled: ‘Britney Spears watches our show!’
They said she was a big fan of the show?They said she was looking for a small part on a funny show, and she checked out our show and liked it. They were really receptive to the idea of bringing Britney in and just doing a funny role for her. It all came together really quickly – it was kind of shocking.
How quick?We heard that they read about the part on Thursday. We were literally in the middle of a re-write of that script, and they said, ‘Oh, we’re having dinner with Britney tonight, and she likes the show. Can you get her a script a half-hour from now?' So we just sort of busted ass for the next 40 minutes, hit print and showed her our in-progress rewrite of the episode. She got in and thought the character was really funny and said yes the very next day.
So the script came before you knew Britney would be attached to it?That’s right. They thought the part was a great thing for Britney to do, just to keep her acting chops up and come have fun with us for a week.
Describe the role.The episode's about Ted, our main character. Ted went crazy one night earlier in this season and got an embarrassing butterfly stamped right above his ass. Not his proudest moment. So he's now in the predicament of having to remove this tattoo, so he goes to a dermatologist to remove it and gets a big crush on his dermatologist. What he's sort of oblivious to, as he’s pursuing this dermatologist, is that the dermatologist’s receptionist (Spears) is falling in love with him. It's a fun, romantic comedy episode.
So Britney's character is kind of mousy?She is just trying to get Ted’s attention and keeps on screwing up, saying awkward things. Ted’s absolutely oblivious. Go, Josh Radnor — he has Britney Spears chasing after him in this episode!

Britney Green Lit By TV Cast; Shunned by Alicia

Sources connected to the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" tell TMZ the cast members were told Britney wouldn't be on the show unless they said it was ok. They met with her and they liked her -- they really, really liked her!We're told the entire group of actors approved Brit. She was, as one of them put it, "laid back and collected."We're told Brit will play the receptionist for Ted, Josh Radner's character. But that wasn't the original plan. Alicia Silverstone was supposed to go on the show and Britney was then asked to play her receptionist, but Alicia didn't want to be upstaged and refused to play ball. Unclear if Alicia has backed out altogether.

Brit's Faux Lawyer Files Appeal

Jon Eardley, the attorney who filed a request to have Britney Spears' custody and conservatorship cases moved to the federal courts, has appealed the February 1 decision that granted Jamie Spears control of the pop star's affairs.
In documents obtained by PageSix.com, Eardley claims that Brit wasn't given the proper five-day notice prior to the hearing.
Because it was determined that Britney isn't fit to retain her own counsel, Eardley has never officially represented the pop star. Eardley, who practices law out of his mother-in-law's home, shares spokesperson Michael Sands with Brit's former pal Sam Lutfi.

Brit's Conservators Clean House

New players have been brought in to look at Britney Spears' business affairs, and the money the pop star shells out for additional lawyers could end up paying off — literally. Florida-based attorney Jorge Hernandez has been retained to head up Brit's audit with Jive, her longtime record label, to determine whether the company owes her money. Tom Hansen, a powerhouse L.A. entertainment lawyer, has also been hired to look at all of Britney's contracts.
Jamie Spears and Andrew Wallet, co-conservators for Britney's estate, are getting a much better idea of where Britney stands financially and "are being extremely thorough in assessing the situation," our source tells us. "Her business affairs were in disarray because Sam [Lutfi] had isolated Britney, and it's going to be a very tedious task of going through everything." As we exclusively reported, Howard Grossman, Brit's former business manager, was a very good friend of Sam Lutfi's. Grossman has since been fired by Jamie.
The pop diva did not appear in court yesterday, as noted in the minute order released today, which states, "The court finds that the proposed conservetee is aware that this hearing and has chosen not to appear." Britney opted instead to go to a table read of How I Met Your Mother in preparation for her guest appearance on the show.
The minute order also states that going forward, all doctors names wouldn't be disclosed.

If she is pregnant, the fallen pop princess isn’t taking the usual mom-to-be precautions. While many obstetricians advise expectant mothers against enjoying raw fish or dyeing one's hair during pregnancy, Britney stopped for sushi in L.A.’s Beverly Glen Plaza on March 10, boasting a new color and fresh highlights.

Madonna on Drugs, Profanity and Justin's Ass-ets

Madonna is arguably one of the world’s greatest entertainers, and her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was no exception. The singer regaled the audience with tales of drug use, a story about the time she made Justin Timberlake drop trou — and she peppered her acceptance speech with curse words.
She revealed to the crowd that her longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg, was "smoking a joint" when she met her and that she and music executive Michael Rosenblatt once "did a tab of Ecstasy and danced the night away."
The singer even showed a rare moment of humility, thanking critics who "said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn’t sing, that I was a one-hit wonder." She said: "They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better."
Actor Tom Hanks inducted this year’s honorees, who also included John Mellencamp and Leonard Cohen. A shirtless Iggy Pop took the stage to perform Madonna’s hits "Burnin' Up" and "Ray of Light," later hopping into the pop star’s lap.
Justin, who introduced Madonna, was not lacking for entertaining anecdotes, either. In his speech, he described Madonna as someone who has "always been a woman on top," noting that she "fully enjoys that position."
He also shared a story of the time Madonna offered to give him a B-12 shot while the two were collaborating on her forthcoming album "She proceeds to pull a Ziploc bag of B-12 syringes out [of her purse] and says, 'Drop 'em.'" He continued: "So I immediately dropped my pants. She gave me a shot in my a** and looks at me and says, 'Nice top shelf.' That was one of the greatest days of my life." Madonna corrected: "Everything he said is basically true, but I didn't say, 'Drop 'em,' I said, 'Pull your pants down.' I like to be accurate because you know I am a control freak."
She then said that Justin was responsible for her ribald language. "He's rubbing off on me. He's bringing sexy back," she told the audience, before turning to him and threatening, "I'll get you, f******!"
Justin also took the opportunity to joke about former girlfriend Britney Spears, saying that despite Madonna’s busy career, she "found time to publicly kiss someone I may or may not have kissed myself… Of course, you all know who I'm talking about: Sean Penn."
He also noted the number of "Madonna wannabes" in the music industry today. "I might have even dated a couple of them," he quipped. "But there is truly only one Madonna."

Britney Creates Mama Drama

Hollywood was abuzz yesterday with the news that Britney Spears was returning to TV to guest star as a secretary on How I Met Your Mother — she had been MIA from television since a 2006 Will & Grace cameo. Everyone was looking forward to seeing if Brit could pull it off — everyone, that is, except for Alicia Silverstone.
See, Alicia was set to play the woman that Brit would be assisting, but according to Pink is the New Blog, the Clueless star felt the pop star would overshadow her and has told producers she's outtie. Way harsh, Tai.
Stepping in last minute to replace Alicia is Scrubs’ Sarah Chalke, reports TV Guide. Sarah knows a thing or two about being a late-in-the-game substitute — she took over the role of Becky Connor on Roseanne for three seasons after the orig Becks, Lecy Goranson, left to attend college. Brit’s ep is set to air toward the end of April and fans of the underrated show are praying this isn't the encounter that has Ted telling his kids, this is how I met your mother.
