Days after news of an Alicia Silverstone arc, we’re learning of much talkier plans for How I Met Your Mother.  The CBS comedy will soon be embracing another guest star:  Britney Spears.

Unlike the storyline involving Silverstone, the part planned for Britney is not considered to be signficant.  The singer will also be playing someone other than herself.  (I’m guessing her character will still have some sort of twang and head gestures.)

Sadly, this stunt casting follows an appearance by Paris Hilton on My Name is Earl.  Apparently viewers will turn on their TVs if producers bring their internet stars to the TV.

No date has yet been announced for the Spears cameo.  Meanwhile, Hilton will be running around Jason Lee‘s dreams come April 3rd.
