Britney's About to "Meet My Mother"

Posted Mar 10th 2008 3:03PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that Britney Spears is prepping for a small guest part on CBS's hit "How I Met Your Mother."

Our sources tell us that Brit's agent Jason Trawick from William Morris made the deal with producers on the show. One source called it "a small legitimate project that will keep her busy doing something." We're told it's not long term and her dad -- her conservator -- is down with it and has signed off.

Pink is the New Blog, who first reported the story, says Brit Brit is scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode. TMZ caught her arriving at the FOX lot.

"How I Met Your Mother" is a CBS show produced by FOX. The show is "on the bubble" a biz term for getting 86'd and producers think this is just the gimmick they need.

A source on the show tells TMZ the critical darling is not about to be canceled and is returning to the air next Monday.

Stay tuned ...

47. Saw Britney on an old episode of Saturday Night Live recently. Must've been 4 years old or more? Anyway, she was FUNNY. She played a tough ex-Disney kid who had written a book about her (four day) experiences with Disney. FUNNY. Other comedy stuff, too. She really handled the humor well.

So yeah, she'll be good on this show.

50. It certainly troubles me, but doesn't surprise me at all. I always thought dad was in it for the money. How can he possibly sign a contract on behalf of a "gravely disabled" person to appear on a tv show. Seems getting her better and getting her kids back was not what dad had in mind...he is only after another free ride from his daughter. He ought to be ashamed of himself.

53. Does anyone remember Britney on Will & Grace? She is a HORRIBLE actress. I love How I Met Your Mother but will not tune in to see the trainwreck.

54. How can you say that's Britney's car arriving at the Fox lot? I don't see her getting in or out of it... that could be anyone's car! That could be YOUR car!

55. Some people put her down when she went through her "crazy" spot, and now they are putting her down for moving on. Too much time on their hands!

Good for her that she's moving on and working. At least she's doing what makes her happy. Roll on the next video as weel, which her site says is break the ice!

57. #55 She was great on Will and Grace..that episode was right up there with a few other greats like the Michael Douglas and Kevin Bacon stalker episodes..Brit did a real good job..

58. I saw Brit on an ep of "Will and Grace" and she was really good..better than other guest stars like Demi Moore and Madonna..I think the girl could have her own sitcom with someone like Danny Noriega from Idol..

59. Cool. I'll tune in.

60. OMG - I am so excited! I haven't heard anything about her in, well in minutes!
Oh, and I forgive "How I Met Your Mother" for having her on, just don't let it happen again because I LIKE your show!
