Britney's Back….and On Top!

Filed under: TV News > Britney Spears

wenn5107717.jpg

As we mentioned last week, Britney Spears was set to appear in the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

And, surprisingly enough, when it aired last night, the show received its highest ratings ever!

Even more surprising, the critics liked it!

The Associated Press stated, "Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer. The 26-year-old pop star, who previously was on a 2006 episode of Will and Grace, appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, capably filling the small role."

The Daily News stated that for "those who hang on every one of Britney's career moves, this bold casting decision worked out. Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing, and with some of the nuances she brought to the character, you'd almost swear she'd been there before."

Could this possibly be the comeback Britney and the rest of the world has been waiting for?

We sure hope so!

      All she did was hide her belly behind the desk. The other female star was much, much better and had more screen time. I would not call it a comback; let's just say she was so-so!!!!

      She needs to get rid of that asstastic weave!
      Look at her receding hairline - the one that receded after the first one….yuck.
      Perez - you should have a new "Filed Under" - huge foreheads. Angelina can keep Britters company in that category.

      still looks she could use a hair brush and jeans that aren't ripped up. if it were anyone else playing the part we would say "not rememberable" … i just wished there was something else worthwhile to watch at that time.

      Britney looks so much better.

      I hope she has learned that she needs someone to manage her life, someone trustworthy, someone looking out for Britney's well being.

      i don't know what they liked about her….she was so boring! i think bringing her on the show was a cheap move on the producer's part. she needs to play something more along the lines of a cracked-out nympho schizophrenic! she'd nail that role!!!! LOL

      how come her face is so slim and flawless on tv?
      photoshopped a lot .

      she's a HORRIBLE actor

      218

      I saw it and LOVED IT! I think she could be on a great ensemble cast show. Her comedic timing is great too. She looked pretty, healthy, and very happy. It was good to see her not looking like a train wreck. If she ended up on a tv show like that I would watch it. But it would need to be a show with lots of characters not the Britney show. She needs less time in the main limelight to get herself on track and keep herself there. I say good for her, she can be proud of herself.

      AH HA HAHA HA HA…….. COMEBACK…….YOU FUCKING MORONS……………………SHE NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO COMEBACK TO…SHES ONLY RICH BECAUSE HER MOMMY PROSTITUTED HER OUT WHEN SHE WAS CUTE …………..A LOOOOOOOOONG TIME AGO…………….LONG BEFORE SHE FLASED HER VAGINA EVERY CHANCE SHE COULD AND LOST HER CHILDREN TO THE POINT A JUDGE WOULDNT EVEN LET HER VISIT……………………YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING MORONS…………………

      221

      OMG! Are you Serious? Are people really this stupid? First of all, her performance was not bad but it was not worth all this hype that people are giving it. That part could've been done by anyone. It was a bit receptionist part with a few lines and because she didn't look cracked out like she usually does, you all are acting like it's a great comeback? Wow, britney fans are total idiots. This girl has average talent at best. I don't understand the obsession with her. NO TALENT! Being cute, blond and ditzy is not talent.

      222

      its nice that she's getting her act together…i live in kentwood and she used to be the laughing stock of the town…

    23. Rebecca says – reply to this


      223

      I'm so happy that she's back on track (hopefully). Britney is truley a talented individual. She's just a woman trying to live her life in front of the world. She had problems but so does everyone else. She deserves every high that she can get. I hope she know that there are people out here that have always been a fan and pray for her everyday. Britney: Keep going. there are people who believe in you and WANT you to do well.

      224

      I knew the ratings would spike! And what's all the comeback talk? She was never really gone- there was never really a point in her 3 year hiatus when people went 'Britney who?'- from '99 and on, most people around the world hear 'Britney' they think 'Spears'. That and Blackout won awards (best international) and hasnt sold poorly, especially given that she hasnt promoted it. Anyway, let's hope she maybe keeps it a recurring role on the show!

      225

      The episode was really good, a nice comeback from the strike! I was afraid that no one would remember this show && it'd go off the air, but Britney came on and it [[apparently]] got a lot of viewers!! That last part was pure genius too! :D

      229

      It took her 7 hours to do a 3 min clip…with folks reading her every line! No lipsync…This is a come back! U Brit folks crack me up..

    30. dc says – reply to this


      230

      Just because she taped a guest spot on 1 show does not mean she's fine! I tired of people saying "She's Back!" and "She's on track!" No she isn't. You don't go from where she was 2 or 3 months ago to "OK" in such a short time. She needs to disappear for a year or so, get MAJOR therapy, and THEN think about coming back.

      231

      Yeah!!! I can't wait for her next single and/or remake of Break the Ice. The vid is terrible, she can do it herself so much better!

      236

      People who normally don't watch the show only watched it to see Britney… more out of curiosity than anything.(I'm guilty of it too since I stopped watching the show sometime ago…) While it was no great shakes, I thought she was cute as shy, ditzy "Abby."The show will be back to it's low ratings next week.It's a boring show which is why I quit watching it.

      237

      I don´t know if Spears can act, but one thing I know is that she can´t sing.Maybe as a precocious child she was impressive,but mainly as a sexualized child.She can´t sing and I wouldn´t be surprised if she could´t act either but has always been useful for generating money from uncritical adolescents.

      … its highest ratings ever? so does it mean instead of 1 viewer there were actually 2? give it up, perezito, even you can't make the trailer park has been into a star. why don't you write about her smoking and how bad it is for her health? keep to reality, baby. love u.

      245

      I had to work :O(

      But I caught the show online.

      Britney was really funny, and I can see some station giving her a show if she could take it on at this time in her life.

      That ending was beyond fuckin funny!

      AS nonmeat eating ass can bend over and kiss her own for pulling out of the show!

      251

      I HOPE SHE DOESN'T THINK THAT HER FOREHEAD LOOKS GOOD WITHOUT HAIR ON IT. WHY WON'T SOMEONE TELL HER SHE LOOKS STUPID..FIX YOUR HAIR,NO PONYTAILS EITHER. YOU LOOK SO STUPID IN A PONYTAIL. THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. AS FAR AS HAIR GOES, NOTHING WORKS FOR YOU. I LIKED YOU BETTER BALD, COZ YOU LOOKED LIKE THE ANTICHRIST MAD.

      It's paytime for Kevin…. He is the one going down now…. She is on her way to recovery, people love to see this, she is going to go up like foam and as long as she keeps her family close she will be alright. KEEP IT UP. You look so much more beautiful and sexy covered up. Hope you finally realized the difference between sexy and trashy. Leave some things to the imagination. Very happy for you!!!!

    55. nuska69 says – reply to this


      255

      P.D. Just a suggestion , STOP USING EXTENSIONS. They will pull your own hair out, and your hairline will keep receding. Why don't you wear your own short hair for a while. You can still go wild and dye it platinum. Take the extensions out before it is too late. You have nice features, the extensions make you look cheap. Aside from that you are looking better than you have in years. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
