In a confusing move, CBS has announced that Britney Spears will guest star on a future episode of “How I Met Your Mother”. TVGuide.com has:

A CBS rep officially confirms for TVGuide.com that which was reported an hour ago on Pink Is the New Blog: Britney Spears is guest-starring on an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother. TMZ says it’s by no means a long-term gig and that her dad/conservator signed off on it.

Um. Yeah.

Alicia Silverstone was a great casting move, but Britney? Hopefully it’ll just be a cameo in a single episode. Yeah, that’s it…a cameo…..

Britney?
