Spaced Remake Snubs Creators
Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: Comedy, Editorial,
For fans of the original series - some of us still finding it hard to accept that there will never be a third season - the announcement that an American remake of Spaced was on the way probably didn’t raise cheers of joy.
In fact, it’s always been assumed that Granada (as it will be called) would be Americanized and Hollywoodized beyond recognition from the original genius upon which it’s based, which makes this latest piece of news all the more infuriating.
Wonderland and Warner Brothers, more specifically McG, have apparently cut Simon Pegg, Jessica (Stevenson) Hynes, and show’s director Edgar Wright out of any participation with the show, crossing lines from avoidance to clear expression that their creative input is undesired. A foolish gesture considering Pegg and Wright’s phenomenal American success with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and morally just all sorts of wrong.

Here’s your first glance of Britney Spears during her upcoming appearance on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother. If this shot does not scream overacting, I don’t know what does. (You can see another one of her scenes, after the jump.)
Mark your calendar for Monday, March 24 to see if it gets any better than this.

Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
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.

My Name is Earl Welcomes….Paris Hilton

I never thought I’d see the day when a perfectly good comedy wastes its time on celebutante trash. Unfortunately, this news is real: Paris Hilton will guest star on an episode of My Name is Earl.
Granted, there was a time when Tara Reid was seen roaming the halls of Scrubs—but I actually believe that was during her less skanky period.
The show’s creator confirmed that Hilton will be featured in one of Earl’s dream sequences. (Let’s hope it’s a dream of Joy and Catalina pulling her extensions out.)
The cameo will happen during the show’s official return: April 3.
