No surprise here. Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Britney's guest appearance on "How I Met Your Mother" gave the show it's highest ratings ever. The critics blew Britney plenty of kisses too.
Critics were relatively impressed. "Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer," wrote the Associated Press. "Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing," wrote the New York Daily News. "Brit looked slim, (OK she was behind a desk), trim and gorgeous," wrote the New York Post.
Of course Britney's guest appearance gave "How I Met Your Mother" the highest ratings it's ever had. Was anyone watching the show before she came on? Hardly. But if you bring on a recently-rehabilitated Britney Spears then eyeballs will follow. Wherever Britney goes, moneys and fans (or spectators, rather) will follow.
The question of course is: Can Britney use this renewal on life, and launch a proper comeback? We'll have to wait and see. Last time when she divorced K-Fed, we thought all of her troubles would go away and she'd be the Britney that was. So I'm not holding my breath this time.
