Britney Spears issued a statement yesterday, saying she was happy to work again with the cast of the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” The singer followed up her successful guest-star appearance from March
with another episode for May sweeps.
“I had such a great experience the last time I was on the show that I couldn’t wait to come back,” the singer said in a statement Monday. “I was really looking forward to working with this cast and crew again.
“Everyone was so nice,” she added. “Abby is going to have a lot of fun!”
This time around, Spears’ lovable but ditzy Abby no longer pines for Ted (Josh Radnor). She falls for Barney (Neil Patrick Harris).
According to a CBS release, the “couple,” who don matching V-neck baby blue sweaters, go to the show’s local hangout bar to “flaunt their new relationship in Ted’s face.”
The episode airs May 12.
In other Britney news, she is expected to make an appearance in family court today for a progress report on her child custody case. Britney currently has supervised visitation with her two sons, but would like to receive overnight privileges. A child custody evaluator will give their report to the judge today, which could determine future visitation arrangements.
