Secret Admirer

Britney's Marriage Proposal

Bald producer Moby claims he's in love with the troubled popstar…

Britney Spears has a new admirer in the shape of Moby- who has proclaimed his undying love to troubled singer and even claimed he wants to marry her!

He said: "The fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat!"

Moby has said he thinks Britney's mental health and relationship problems are down to her being a child star.

 

The producer said: "She became an international icon aged 16… it's breaking my heart because ultimately she's not doing things on a symbolic level.

"Cutting your hair off is symbolic. Losing your children and becoming a drug addict is not."

Back on How I met your Mother?

Spears back on How I Met Your Mother?

I'm a huge fan of CBS' How I Met Your Mother. However, I'm not a Britney Spears fan, especially due to everything she did this past year. So when CBS announced a few weeks ago that Spears would guest star on the show, I was not a happy camper.

That said, after watching the episode "Ten Sessions," I had to admit that Britney Spears gave a good enough performance as Abby, the crazy office assistant. But I was hoping that this would be the last we would see of Abby. The TV Fairy didn't hear my plea and decided that Spears could return for one more episode ... if planets aligned.

Even if she only had a minor role in the episode, Spears' appearance on HIMYM helped the show get record ratings. This big ratings push and the good press Brit got from this gig are probably the main reasons why both the show and Britney Spears are trying to have her return one more time. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports that Britney Spears' return as Ted's stalker will depend on her availability.

I'm torn by this announcement. I don't like Britney much but her appearance on the show helped get the needed ratings for a possible renewal (the show is still on the bubble). If it can help this gem of a show get another season, I guess I'm all for Spears returning as Abby and stalk Ted some more.

What do you think about this announcement? Should Spears come back? Let your voice be heard in comments below.

Crazy Skinny

Britney Spears' Revealing Slim-Down Tips

Regular workouts and a healthier diet helps star shed pounds

Pop star Britney Spears, who's recently battled weight issues, surprised fans with a slimmer figure during her appearance last week on the hit CBS show How I Met You Mother.

Once known for exercising religiously and doing 1,000 crunches a day, Britney's weight has yo-yo'ed in recent years to coincide with her erratic behavior. But insiders tell OK! magazine the star has really been cleaning up her act, incorporating regular workouts, dancing and embracing a healthy diet. So how did she do it? "Britney's a pro at losing weight fast," a Spears insider told OK. "She can drop 7-10 pounds in two weeks."

The 5-foot-4 singer has been eating five small, protein-packed meals a day and now avoids fast food and soda (once staples of her daily diet). "Eating five meals a day will boost your metabolism," Dr. David Katzin of Fresh Diet, a meal delivery program told OK!. "By eating superclean, balanced foods at each of your five meals, you will find that your metabolism goes into overdrive, becoming extremely efficient at burning calories."

Britney has also reportedly been enjoying daily dance workouts at Millennium Dance Complex in L.A., supplemented by regular running on her home treadmill. Hopefully Brit will keep herself clean and healthy as she blazes a comeback trail. Remember, Brit: Good health is your most important asset. Keep it up!

Colonic?

Toxic Britney goes colonic

Britney Spears is cleansing her system of toxins thanks to regular colonic sessions, according to reports.


The 'Toxic' singer has been making regular trips to a Beverly Hills clinic as part of a bid to adopt a new positive lifestyle after a year of mental health issues.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Cleansing a few times a week gets rid of lingering stuff in the colon. Britney's had the treatment before and says it makes her feel great, more upbeat and energetic."

But can she PLAY a Crazy Woman?

Britney Spears To Play Role Of Mental Patient

March 30th, 2008 at 20:43 by Paul Sorrenti

Britney Spears has been offered the chance to play nutjob Blanche DuBois in an upcoming London stage play of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.

You may be wondering why on earth anyone in their right mind would deem Britney Spears an appropriate figure to take on the role of one of America's all time great femme fatales but, before you get carried away with that thought, just stop to consider a few things:

First of all, Blanche, as all over 50s and film students know, comes from a small town in Mississippi. And where does Britney come from? That's right; a small town in Mississippi.

Blanche is eventually exposed as an alcoholic, and Britney too has been found out to be dependent on a drug or two .

And, as if that wasn't enough, later on in the story Blanche has a nervous breakdown and is shipped off to a mental hospital.

Not so sure about yourself anymore, are you dear reader? Suddenly it becomes all too apparent why someone might deem the girl suitable.

There is one potent misnomer though, which is that when Blanche looks upon the vicious, working-class, alpha-male that is Stanley Kowalski, she sees nothing but a hideous 'ape', and tries but fails to fight off his sexual advances. Whereas Britney…

A source close to the production said of Miss Spears:

"She has poise, timing and real flair. We'd wanted her for Blanche because even though she's technically too young to play her, who else could embody this fallen southern belle so well? She's living out the story, so to harness that on stage would be amazing for an audience to see - and cathartic for Britney too."

Maybe you're right, Mr 'close source to the production', but perhaps instead of trying to find therapy in humiliating herself night after night in front of the boos and hisses of the baying-for-her-blood British theatre-going public, she could just have a lie down and a cup of tea?

It's just a thought.

Emmy Talk?

Britney Spears: The Brain-Breaking Emmy Talk

March 26th, 2008 at 14:00 by Stuart Heritage

As we all know, on How I Met Your Mother on Monday night, Britney Spears managed to get through about 10 lines without crying or showing anyone her vagina.

So it goes without saying that Britney Spears will probably get nominated for an Emmy for it. Seriously.

Since the Britney Spears episode got How I Met Your Mother its highest-ever ratings, there's now a bundle of genuine speculation that Britney Spears will snag an Emmy nomination for it. Which we're fine with, so long as the Emmys open a new category entitled Best Transparent Stunt Casting Of A Mentally Ill Celebrity To Revive A Mostly Rubbish Sitcom. And even then it'll be a toss-up between Britney and Franz Kafka's rib-tickling turn on According To Jim.

There's something really odd about the way that self-destructive celebrities are given awards. What's that? Amy Winehouse has been taped smoking crack a couple of months after she almost died from a drug overdose? Quick, someone give her a Grammy. What's that? Naomi Campbell has punched a boat to splinters with her fists? Quick, someone give her a, um, actually, Naomi Campbell doesn't really win awards, does she? Bad example, let's move on.

And now it looks like history might just repeat itself. A couple of months ago, the only awards that Britney Spears could have possibly won were the Most Disturbing Dance Teacher award and a prize for being the only person in history who does a British accent worse than Don Cheadle. But now? Now Britney Spears has been on a mediocre sitcom for about 15 seconds, so it's only right she should get an Emmy for it.

Even though the cast of How I Met Your Mother would only admit to being 'quite impressed' with Britney Spears' cameo on Monday's show, by and large TV critics have fallen over themselves to praise Britney's performance in what we can only assume to be a heavy-handed overcompensation for the kicking she gets from other parts of the media. And, yes, that means there's Emmy talk. The Los Angeles Times reports:

Emmy voters love to hail stunt casting in those guest-acting categories. Often when big-name stars condescend to visit the boob tube, they get rewarded with nominations just, so it seems, for showing up — like Brad Pitt did when he accepted an invite for turkey dinner on "Friends"… Now consider all of the people who tuned in to see Britney Spears on "How I Met Your Mother" last night: 10.6 million. That's the highest viewership ever for the CBS sitcom. Audience size matters when you weigh who might get nominated for an Emmy because that first round of voting is determined by a popular vote of TV academy members.

Can Britney Spears really win an Emmy for How I Met Your Mother? Stranger things have happened, and who knows what'll happen if Britney gets an accolade for her work, rather than for shaving her head and getting her chuff out. Plus, if an Emmy for Britney Spears means that House doesn't win quite as many this year, then we're all for it.

But let's not forget that this year's Emmy Awards don't take place until September. Was Britney Spears' fleeting appearance on How I Met Your Mother memorable enough to keep her in voters' minds until then? Worse still, what if Britney Spears gets her act together between now and September? The whole mental illness thing is Britney's USP as far as the Emmys go. If she wants to stand any chance of winning this award, Britney had better go out and do something hopelessly batshit right now. Right now. Batshit!

Britney's Cars...

You Could Buy One of Britney Spears' Cars

Posted: Mar. 25, 2008 03:03 p.m.

People reports that a court has given Britney Spears' dad, Jamie Spears, "the power to 'sell or dispose of' an undisclosed number of her seven cars." Fox News says that a lawyer for Britney's father stated that "the cost of upkeep for Brit's army of vehicles was really running up the bills." According to NME, Mr. Spears "will maintain control of the estate until a hearing on July 31."

Britney's fleet of cars includes a Mercedes-Benz SL65 Roadster and CLK350 Convertible, a MINI Cooper Convertible and an undisclosed Audi.   Autoblog notes that a classic 1956 Porsche 356A Speedster may be among the lot as well.

The Mercedes convertible may be the most famous of the brood, as it's been involved in several incidents over the past year. These include the pop star's run-in with the law when she illegally parked in a handicapped space (as reported by US magazine) and, on a separate occasion, ran over a cop's foot (as reported by People). In 2006, Brit's MINI Cooper also gained notoriety when she was photographed driving with her young son's infant seat facing the wrong way, MSNBC reported.

So when will the famous singer's car troubles end? Only time will tell, but for now, check out how the Britster's (soon to be former) cars do in the U.S. News car rankings.
