TV gets ready for another Britney cameo...
Britney Spears is paying another visit to the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother".
Spears' appearance in the March 24 episode won her good reviews and boosted the show's viewership to 10.6 million viewers, in comparison to the 9.6 million who had tuned in the previous week.
When last seen, Abby was flirting with womanizer Barney (cast member Neil Patrick Harris). The new episode, which began production Monday, has Abby and Barney sharing their mutual dislike of Ted (cast member Josh Radnor) and acting on it.
Harris himself has recently stated that he didn't think the show needed cheap stunt casting to increase its rating, which was seen as a dis on Spears.
