MONDAY (4/21)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): New episode. “A dethroned Blair musters up the strength to head back to school, and Jenny tries to keep up with the financial demands of the in-crowd.” Mondays are always better when other people are miserable.
- Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm): George Bush provides support to a war vet going for the million. After three tours in Iraq, the President figured it was the least he could do.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): If you can’t handle the thought of humming a tune about sandcastles over and over again, this might not be the episode for you.
- The Bachelor: London (ABC, 10pm): “Matt accompanies Amanda, Chelsea, Noelle and Shayne to their hometowns.” Being allowed to live in the U.S. takes more than just a sham marriage. It means faking it with her family too.

Britney Spears Returns to How I Met Your Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Editorial, Gossip, Ratings, Renewals,
Even though Sarah Connor has managed to get itself off the renewal bubble, there’s a list of others shows out there still aiming to get their golden tickets.
Believing there’s nothing wrong with a bit of promotional overkill, How I Met Your Mother will be looking to once again milk something out of their celebrity cash cow. (No pun intended.) According to People, a source reports that Britney Spears will indeed make another appearance on the comedy. Her first stint on the CBS series helped give the show its highest ratings ever.
Now if this latest publicity stunt doesn’t get the network to renew HIMYM once and for all, I don’t know what will. Will Jason Segel need to go full frontal? I’ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I know he’d do it.

Preview How I Met Your Mother’s New Robin Sparkles Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, Video,
Although it’s been a while since we’ve seen Robin Sparkles on American television (she was discovered back in November 2006), fans won’t have to wait much longer.
Come April 21, How I Met Your Mother‘s favorite Canadian pop star (a.k.a. Robin’s early years) will be showing us a much softer side. Here’s a preview of her Debbie Gibson-esque ballad “Sandcastles in the Sand.” (Check out the other ‘80s icons in the clip.)
If you haven’t had the chance to experience Robin’s breakout hit, “Let’s Go to the Mall”, you can see that video after the jump. Those wanting even more Sparkle can also learn about the acid wash loving singer through her MySpace page.

Neil Patrick Harris Against Second Britney Appearance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip,
While I’m sure he’s appreciative of the attention she helped bring to the show, How I Met Your Mother‘s Neil Patrick Harris would rather a certain pop star stayed at home.
Britney Spears’ cameo last month helped the CBS comedy earn its best performance in the demos ever. So why wouldn’t he want her to come back? Harris would (smartly) prefer to see Mother succeed on its own merits. In an interview with the AP, the actor admitted that his opinions are not shared by everyone in his crew. “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed.”
The singer’s highly-publicized appearance was not the first time the series had had a celebrity visit. Other guests have included Heidi Klum, Enrique Iglesias, Vanessa Minnillo and Mandy Moore. If the stunt casting continues at this pace, the comedy could end up looking like a former NBC hit.

MONDAY (3/24)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): The overly-promoted Britney Spears cameo finally airs tonight. Let’s just be happy the show is only 30-minutes long.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Nicole Scherzinger gives the girls tips on vocal expression. Sadly, advice on releasing solo albums is not something she can dish out.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): New episode. “A bride is murdered at her wedding. The investigation takes the CSIs to a strip club where the bachelor party took place.” Strip club? This would be the perfect time for another Elizabeth Berkley appearance.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season premiere. I wonder if LC wore any of her own designs in Paris. Doubt it.
