Britney Spears is done filming her second appearance on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. This time around her character Abby is dating Doogie Howser’s character Barney which must be really awkward for the Doog considering he publicly complained about stunt casting Britney. Apparently, the writers decided to send him the message to “Shut the hell up and stop rocking the gravy train.” Entertainment Tonight reports on Britney’s second go-round:
“I had such a great experience the last time I was on the show that I couldn’t wait to come back,” she said. “I was really looking forward to working with this cast and crew again. Everyone was so nice. Abby is going to have a lot of fun!”
I included a video clip after the jump which I’ll warn you will start playing automatically. So, brace yourself for some Britney Spears acting on the ASAP. If you can’t play videos at your work, don’t worry, I’ve got a way around your network admin: It’s called quitting. It’s real simple and all it takes is a well-timed middle finger to your boss after you tip over the water cooler and admit to eating everyone’s lunch. Damn, I should blog for Monster.com. I’ve got career skills out the anus!
EDIT: Okay, wow, so that video not only autoplays, but goes right into “Barbara Walters’ miscarriage.” Mmm, transition-y.

I wish someone would kill this bitch. Is the American people so fooled by this southern piece of shit?
See, brothers and sisters having sex IS a bad thing.
Jumpin_J | May 8, 2008 at 1:37 pm
FIRST! And I quit.
mer | May 8, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Christ, is she good at anything?
Harry Ballzack | May 8, 2008 at 1:43 pm

Doogie looks happy in his matching light blue outfit. I think it is great that she is showing a normal side for change.
Quinn | May 8, 2008 at 1:53 pm
she surprisingly has good timing.
Ted from LA | May 8, 2008 at 1:59 pm
#8,
Tell that to the 28 people she’s hit with her car over the last year.
Grunion | May 8, 2008 at 2:03 pm
What the fuck is on her head? No seriously what the fuck is that? Hair? I think not..
Bill Clinton | May 8, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Doogie is a fag!
Texas Tranny | May 8, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I hope they were wearing pretty matching panties too.
Deva | May 8, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I wish she’s stick her head under a car tire a give the thumbs up….
Sasha | May 8, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Those Primp sweats are so ugly. Only dumbass celebs like Britney would pay $100+ to look like that.
FRIST!!! | May 8, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Nice kitty sweatshirt. Where do I get a shirt that says “Hey I’m 37 but I have the mental capacity of a 12 year old”??
Wait. Did she just refer to herself as Abbey?
Linzi | May 8, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Britney Spears is actually good for this part and some fucking bitter ass people can’t accept that she’s doing well. Everyone is so used to ragging on the poor girl that people can’t even have the balls to admit when she’s good at something. Get off her damn back! She’s trying to do something good for herself? Can’t anyone give her a little credit?
mimi | May 8, 2008 at 2:23 pm
YAY FOR BRITNEY!
GOOD ON YOU BRITNEY!

Very interesting. Thank you.

Keep on rockin Britney ..!!!!!
LBJ | May 8, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Looks like the original #18 was assassinated.
Jala | May 8, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I think her acting is good, actually. She’s funny and really gets into character well. Keep it up Britney, you’re awesome!
FRIST!!! | May 8, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Oooh! Ooooh! What did #18 say??
Is it even The Superficial anymore? | May 8, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Britney is doing a good job acting.
John Mayer is funny.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is hot in a bikini.
Why not just put in an automatic redirect to okmagazine.com? Although then you’d miss out on all the tortured Engrish in the dating site spam.
Laura Jones | May 8, 2008 at 2:46 pm
the scene seemed kinda tepid and and lame. What a dull episode this is going to be, I do not think they will gather as much hype for the episode this time as they did last time for having Britney on it. I really think Britney seems sorta like a droid here and going thru the motions but for real, she looks cute. BORING.
OMFG YAY | May 8, 2008 at 2:48 pm
britney looks uncomfortable and out of place.
mamadough | May 8, 2008 at 2:49 pm
regardless of her attempting to be normal again, she still has this greasy, unwashed look to her compared to what, 7 years ago? when will THAT go away?
Alice | May 8, 2008 at 2:53 pm
How is it possible that nobody mentioned how FAT she looked, especially her gut in the first shot as she’s walking in? If she’s not pregnant, it’s definitely time to go back on the stimulants and laxatives. Great big handfuls of them.
Sid | May 8, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Doogie’s a professional, so he did the scene as best he could, even though the writers seemed to be trying to burn him for his earlier comments. Later he went to his dressing room and calmed himself down using the preferred method of his kind: watching John Travolta in “Hairspray” while rocking back and forth on his chair with a fist in his ass.
jesus | May 8, 2008 at 3:06 pm
“i dont think shes that bad.”
What high praise. Can we not do better than that?
judas | May 8, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Don’t make me call 5-0 on you again.

She’s one of the most successful performers ever in pop music. She’s already done better that you ever will.
Natty B | May 8, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I’d still have sex with her. She could weigh 350 pounds and I’d love it just to say I fucked Britney Spears. That’s all that matters. All that matters in this entire world.
yomomma | May 8, 2008 at 3:22 pm
i actually think she’s quite good. she was terrible on will & grace, but i think it was just the character. this “abby” is gonna be funny! good job, britney!

CONCORD, N.H. – Since they first walked the planet, humans have either buried or burned their dead. Now a new option is generating interest – dissolving bodies in lye and flushing the brownish, syrupy residue down the drain.
Don’t you love it when you sit down at your desk to eat your lunch and shit like that pops up on your homepage??
Anybody want my club sandwich?
meee | May 8, 2008 at 3:35 pm
ok i don’t get it…is everyone on that show SUPPOSED to act poorly?
Vincin | May 8, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Britney will never approach the level of talent, dignity, and class displayed every day by the Superficial commenters while working at our jobs. We generate the finest coversheets (they’re new!) for our TPS reports, no matter how many “PC Load Letter” messages we encounter.
Grunion | May 8, 2008 at 3:37 pm
#31 done better than I ever will?
whatever at least I can see my kids whenever the fuck I want.
The Hammer | May 8, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I almost threw up when i saw britney then i did when Barbara Walters started talking
andie | May 8, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Wow, she really isn’t that pretty anymore. I mean, I look at this video and I don’t see any trace of the extremely hot chick she used to be.
She just looks like a normal cute girl, not like a star.
To be honest, I didn’t really watch the video that close, though, so I can’t comment on her comedic timing or anything.
Oh, and I don’t get the title to this post. Doogie’s gay, yo! WTF?
Chupacabra | May 8, 2008 at 3:53 pm
She actually looks better than Amy Winehouse. This is getting weird.
mamadough | May 8, 2008 at 3:58 pm
lol @ #31. has she been more successful in the music industry compared to me? yes. in life? fuck no. im sorry to say that i’ve never been locked up for being fucking crazy, spoke in a fake accent, hit people with my car, lost custody of kids, have scabby skin, and shaved my hair in a mental breakdown (did i miss anything?). i am well educated, happily married, and financially secure. i would say mamadough – 1, britney- 0.
kati | May 8, 2008 at 4:08 pm
that was actually amusing. i don’t think she’s a bad actress at all
restingonlaurels | May 8, 2008 at 4:22 pm
canned laughter comes in handy here to bridge the awkward silence between each line…. horrible.
BJ | May 8, 2008 at 4:22 pm
that was awful. the other cameo was better who writes this crap that doogie backs up?
Randal | May 8, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Hey Britney, great work! I’ll certainly have to catch the episode as the clip was way too short. Your first appearance was gold and no doubt, you’ll do even better in your second appearance.
Is this going to be your next step? When will you start touring for your latest album?
Hope to read from you soon. Luv ya! xoxo

I think she did great. She’s got a cute smile. She’s a natural performer. Whether she’s acting on TV or performing on stage, dancing etc.she’s got dyamic presence. Hopefully she’ll continue geting her shit together, because this is her only chance for a comeback. She might as well pack it in if she loses it again.
As far as the way she looks, she needs to hire a hair stylist pronto because her hair is awful. The camera adds weight which isn’t really a good thing for her, good thing she’s hitting the gym and drinking water and not a friggin frappuccino. She should lose another 10-12 lbs to be in form; if she wants to get serious about performing again.
T | May 8, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Star Jones and Bawbwa Wawltews need to take the beef into the boxing ring.
T | May 8, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Sorry make that 20 lbs.

Their are signers and then there is brit who sings and dances the best pop and all the other girls are just copyists. Storys like this one are just a way to show that brit is human because we forget that somwetimes beacause we cant be like her at all ever. i know that I have striven to be like her but all I can do is try because if I did then I would be her and there can be only one brit and she the brit that is her.
I am claping for her to be happy when she is actressing. She carrys so much gilt and tenshuns for us and its to much beer on her cross.

Do people comment here to be witty, or to criticize famous people so that they feel better about themselves? The answer is obvious:
