Source: Spears to appear on 'Mother' again

NEW YORK, April 20 (UPI) -- Pop star Britney Spears will appear on another episode of the U.S. comedy TV series "How I Met Your Mother," a source has claimed.

While Fox Studios has not confirmed the "Toxic" star will make a second appearance on the CBS sitcom, the source told People magazine that Spears and "Mother" executives are anxious for her to serve as a guest star again.

"The show is ecstatic and so is Britney," the anonymous source said. "She had so much fun the first time around she really wanted to come back. It was a mutual decision to work together more."

Spears received positive reviews of her appearance on a March 24 episode of the comedy series, which follows the tale of a New York man's romantic history.

"Mother" cast member Jason Segel said the singer was a natural in her portrayal of a receptionist at a dermatologist's office, People reported.

"She was hilarious in the table-read, and I got to see her do the run-through as well, and she was great," the actor said.
