Yahoo! Brit Got a Job!

Well, what do you know! All you people out there who were crying non stop, thinking how poor Brit Brit Spears is all alone in the world, crazy, friendless and jobless, you can stop now. I mean really, you can stop, dry your tears and smile, ’cause the sun is shining again on the formerly-out of control fallen pop princess. Well, maybe not really shining, but a couple of rays are making their way down to Brit’s heart, and the frapp loving singer has a reason (or at least a pretext) to stop spending her days driving aimlessly around L.A. and hooking up with paparazzi lovers. Why? Well, because lil’ Brit Brit Spears landed a job, y’all, and is reportedly very excited about it.

And no, Britney is NOT trying to buy off Starbucks and become the multi-million dollar executive of a giant frappuccino-making international consortium – nor is she going back to singing, at least for now. No, she’s trying her hand at acting again (shudder). The singer’s representative has confirmed reports that she will make a guest appearance on the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” Britney previously appeared as a guest on another CBS sitcom, “Will and Grace” (sometime at the beginning of 2006 if memory serves), and didn’t do such a horribly bad job of it, so here she is getting another shot at fame as an actress. Oh, joy.

No word yet on exactly what part Britney will be playing on the show, but it’s deemed to be a small project. Gossip site TMZ reported that the popwreck already took part in a read-through and she was “really funny”, according to a source. No word yet on whether the source found Britney herself funny (funny-looking is my guess), or whether Brit’s attempted performance was the source of the humor. Apparently, all this is nothing but “a small legitimate project that will keep her busy doing something”. Good for her. At least it’s not boozing, doing drugs or visiting gas stations at night and using public toilets. Big improvement, don’t you think?
