I watched the entire season of the series How I Met Your Mother with great interest. As all other HIMYM fans, I was not quite impressed by the role of Britney Spears as Abby, the receptionist. I have no idea what she intended to achieve by taking up this role - she was easily outclassed by Cobie Smoulders as the show’s hottie and Britney’s acting skills are..um..better not discussed.

No wonder then that she missed the cut as Emmy voters left her off their list of semifinalists for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Too bad, Britney! And you have Mary-Kate Olsen for company too.

Update:

Britney is apparently working on a new album now, set for an early 2009 release. Her personal life appears to be still in a mess as she is reportedly seeing Adnan Ghalib again.
