Lets Get This Party Started
Doogie to Brit -- You Stunt My Growth!

Britney Spears is popwrecka non grata on the CBS sitcom she just cameo'd on – at least according to one of its stars.

In exclusive interview with AP, Neil Patrick Harris says he doesn't want Spears back on "How I Met Your Mother" – nothing personal, he just doesn't think they need recovering celebuwackos on the show for cheap ratings' boosts. "I'm in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed," says Harris.

There were rumors that Spears might make another appearance on the show after her first one -- and producers have reportedly been receptive to the idea.

Rihanna: Cleverly Dumb


Inadvertently or not, like NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg, Rihanna also just confirmed the worst-kept secret in the celebuverse.

"I didn't know!" Rihanna told People at an event. "No one knew!" Knew what, exactly, Rihanna? Apparently she wasn't invited to the wedding or the party – maybe because it had been rumored that she and Jay had gotten together at one point, which both denied.

BeJay were in Houston last night – Beyonce's hometown – but no word yet if there was any confirmation of the nups.

A tell-all book by Anna Nicole Smith's ex-dress designer has gotten the go-ahead for publishing after a judge ruled it's ok.

According to Gatecrasher, "Anna Nicole Smith –- Portrait of an Icon," written by Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson and published for a former H'wood madam, had been in the midst of a legal tussle after threats to sue over material in the book.

But a judge has given the book the green light, saying that Atteu has the right to publish.

17. #6, if you think that is the most unflattering Brit picture you have not been paying attention. There are DOZENS more that look worse than that. And by the way, the camera doesn't lie. It's not a bad picture, it's a picture of a ugly person.

19. "Stunt casting"? Can anyone say "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle"?

20. Okay.
#11--You apparently missed the whole brit riding around picking up starnge men and taking them to hotel rooms and it s a good thing brit has her own money because if she didn't she would undoubtedly be living on a street corner. As far as jealous of brit, i wouldn't trade places with her for all the money in the world.
#14--Exactly how did i assume you watched himym
#15--Check your facts. Brit has never been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder which by the way is not even accepted by the ama as a disease.

So tired of all the Britney S--t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

22. That Other Blog first reported an accident involving paparazzi chasing Britney Spears last night. TMZ has since confirmed the news that a ’spotter’ (person who notifies paps of celebs locations) on a motorcycle was hit by a paparazzi’s car and has been seriously injured while chasing Britney.

The accident happened around 5:00 PM. Several cars were chasing Britney when the photographer hit the spotter throwing him off his motorcycle and onto the road. He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

More as story develops..

23. 5. If the above article is true, then Harris is absolutely correct. I believe Britney should not be back on the show. I didn't want her there in the first place. Her behavior should not be rewarded.

#2
I find it hard to believe that you have ever watched the show. Without the Barney character, which is played by Harris, this show doesn't last one season. Barney is what makes that show work.

25. I liked having Britney on the show and thought she did a great job. I have always loved watching Neil Patrick Harris and was a little disappointed to find out he was gay. Oh well. I am now totally floored that he would be so jealous of Britney that he has to knock her in public. He is lying when he says he does not want her on the show because of the big name status. She stole the show from him and that is what he fears. I am upset that he made such a comment but it was ok that his boyfriend was on the show. Fair is fair Neil and you have shown what a loser you truly are in life.

Besides Neil I think you were on Wil and Grace and the show was great. How dare you knock the show. You tried to make it big in hollywood but only managed to get storm troopers. Part of the advertising of the show when it was being premiered was that you were going to star in it. Oh that is ok because that was all about you.

I will not watch you any longer. If the powers to be give into you then I will say the they too have lost my respect.

Typical people like you eventually show your true colors. Typical I am disappointed as I respected you and you blew it.

Posted at 10:30AM on Apr 11th 2008 by Ya but Neil wants his same sex boyfriend on the show

26. Nothing but us rocks in here!! Can you hear them rattling??

27. Mary/ In that article it says nothing about Brit doing anything wrong, I am starting to agree with the last few posts you are a very bitter person in need of help.

Posted at 10:45AM on Apr 11th 2008 by anonymous

28. Bitter? About Brit? I think not. I was merely using her and Jamie as an example of the type of "celebs" that hollywood is putting out these days. I would simply like to turn on the tv and see entertainment provided by people who truly have talent. Also, it saddens me that alot of really talented artists/actors can't get "a break" because of these so called celebs.

29. Looks like TMZ stopped my post in which I shared exactly what Neil stated. He never said "he does not want recovering celeb wacckos". He stated "Nothing against the pop singer personally — he just doesn't think the show should bring guests aboard for a ratings boost alone". He also stated he hates that the other network had to put the dancing with the stars on @ the same time as HIMYM. He does NOT want any celebs on the show, he feels the show can get ratings on their own. Umm, I think he is in another world, the show is tacky from what I have seen, it's lacks alot charisma & personality. JMO.

30. Britney Spears needs to stay the hell home. Acting is the last thing she needs. Wasn't it the pressure of the biz that made her lose her mind to begin with? She can't act or sing. Go marry your cousin down south and get a toothless dog, like you were meant to!
