Britney Green Lit By TV Cast; Shunned by Alicia

Posted Mar 12th 2008 12:21PM by TMZ Staff

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!
Brit, Alicia
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.

7. how can you say Britney can't act. She has been acting like a singer for years, and by her record sales in the past, fooled alot of people.

I wish her luck.

8. One hit wonder Silverstone better take all the parts offered to her. She isnt that great of a boxoffice draw and I hear her movie roles and paychecks are few and far between. I hope Britney strips on the show.

9. Good for Britney....getting those two men out of her life and bringing back the family (as screw up as they are) have been a good thing in her life.

10.
Life's a bitch and then you die so why try to move ahead
When with every move you make, you get closer to death

Hard to listen and solutions puttin stops to them
Can't advise me lest you walked in my mocassins
Who are you to pose the question to me, why?
Life's a bitch and then you die



It never gets any better than the last time
Every night I kneel by my bedside, pray to God and ask why
people do the things they do, offendin you
You make it big and yup, they're a friend to you
And when you fall on your face it's real funny
Those pretendin, everything is centered around the money




Life's a bitch.. and then you die
Life's a bitch.. and then you die
Life's a bitch.. and then you die
Life's a bitch.. and then you die, and then you die




Can't make a move, cause now you got a whole lot to lose
You know what you gotta do when you do it, most won't
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
But I just want you to know the what when where how and why
Life's a bitch, and then you die


Life's a bitch, and then you die

12. I do not see why alica keeps snubbing people. She did samd on a member of the view. She does not realize her place in society I think, she think she is somone but she is just a hsa been child actor. She should try to be nice to anyone because she is not all that. She feels she can just snub people when that is a sign of someone with little or not class and someone who is definately not professional. I feel sorry for her trying to bring attention to being upstaged by britney who she be supporting. Britney is at least trying and she is a far superior actor and professional then alica would ever be.The series has mad a good move to support Britney and a bad choice to be assoicted with likes of Alica.
