HIMYM - The Britney Era

On tonight's episode of How I Met Your Mother, Britney Spears guest stars as a receptionist in a dermatologist's office [named Abby] who becomes "smitten" with our hero Ted. This could be a series killing mistake but given HIMYM's track record with guest stars I am expecting it be still be good, plus tonight will also feature another guest star in Sarah Chalke [of Scrubs fame] as Stella the actual dermatologist and eye of Ted's affection. In preparation for tonight's much-hyped episode, let's take a look back at the notable guest stars for the series:

Bob Saget as the voice of 2030 Ted. He is telling his daughter and son the story of how he met their mother, i.e. the premise of the entire show.

Megan Mullally as the voice of Barney's Mother. She is seen [from the waist down] in Barney's childhood flashbacks, including the one about his "father".

Bob Barker as Himself. This is the person Barney thinks is his father which lead to a great Price Is Right centric episode. Note Bob is not Barney's father [as far as we know].

Wayne Brady as James Stinson. Wayne as ultra-alpha-male Barney's gay,suit waring black brother is priceless casting.

Danica McKellar as Trudy. Ted's one night stand of The Wonder Years fame inspires Ted to act not think. She also returns with a friend.

Busy Philipps as Rachel. Rachel is Trudy's Kappa Epsilon Gamma sorority sister and they suggest a threesome with Ted, which he can't go through with.

Mandy Moore as Amy. Amy is a tattooed party girl who Ted dates briefly and I for one think Mandy should get some real ink.

Enrique Iglesias as Gael. Gael is Robin's Argentina lover whom all the ladies swoon over - even without his mole.

John Cho as Jeff Coatsworth. Slick and tempting possible employer for our newest New York lawyer, Marshall.

Alessandra Ambrosio, Selita Ebanks, Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller and especially Heidi Klum as themselves. The Victoria's Secret models were all part of a dream night gone wrong for Braney "Suit Up" Stinson.

So far the casting folks over at HIMYM have been right on so for now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but it better be good because the show is currently on the bubble for next season and if this episode is a mess it could be on the outs for their current fan base starting tonight.
