Is Britney back, y’all?
Forget her 2007 VMAs comeback that wasn’t – where her performance of her single “Gimme More” left everyone begging for less – and focus on, if nothing else, the numbers that Brit’s guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother produced. Ms. Spears’ turn as receptionist Abby netted the CBS sitcom over 10 million viewers, its highest ratings ever. So no, Brit may not be accessorizing her bookcases with Emmys anytime soon, but people are still fascinated by her.
Dad Jamie – the newly appointed conservator of his daughter’s estate and supposedly the man responsible for getting Brit the role on How I Met Your Mother – liked the routine that the filming schedule gave Britney. Fellow cast members on the show liked Brit’s professionalism, saying that she came to the set knowing her lines better than they did. Execs at CBS liked the spike in ratings for the show. So what does this mean?
Reports are surfacing that CBS is going to begin giving Brit guest appearances on other network shows and will eventually let the pop princess have her own show. Let’s hope it’s not as Chaotic as her last foray into television – and not as sexual, either. Gross.
I have to say, I thought Brit’s performance on How I Met Your Mother was pretty good – and even tmz.com agrees with me, which never happens. As long as she stays out of barbershops and away from paparazzo boyfriends, I’d say she’s getting herself back on track.
You go girl!
