How Britney Met Your Mother

Following in the footsteps of a certain familiar white trash icon, Britney Spears has announced a cameo on CBS in an attempt to bolster her public image. Via AP:

Spears will guest star in a March 24 episode of the cult series, CBS spokeswoman Kelli Raftery told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The pop star will portray a receptionist in a dermatologist's office named Abby who becomes "smitten" with Ted (Josh Radnor), Raftery said.
Craig Thomas, the show's creator, told Usmagazine.com that Spears attended a table reading with the cast on Monday, and that her scenes will probably be filmed later this week. He said representatives for Spears approached the CBS about "Mother" because "she was looking for a small part on a funny show."

Of course this won't be Brit's first sitcom stopover (remember this?), but even with those thespian chops we're not sure she'll top Mandy Moore's guest appearance in this season's premiere as a tattooed drunk chick Neal Patrick Harris's character Barney referred to as 1994 Courtney Love."

I would pound that so hard... of course while strapped with some Lil' Wayne patented protection.

She was looking for a part on a funny show? So why did she pick "Mother," then?

Also, have Britney's tits always been bigger than her head? Am I missing something? I'm suddenly a fan again.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...
