"Everything. She's life," the 31-year-old actress gushed of the pop star. "Incredible. Incredible. Incredible woman, super sweet, super kind. She loved the show, that's how [her guest spot] actually ended up happening."

"You can tell she just wanted to be there," she added. "'Cause she was light and love and giving, and it's a great episode. It's so good. I mean, you can tell she's got comedy chops. Like nobody's business ... She held her own and more. She was very, very good."

Spears starred in the 2002 movie Crossroads, and has previously appeared on such shows as Will & Grace and How I Met Your Mother. Rodriguez shared a photo with the singer on set Monday, writing, "This woman is just wow... @britneyspears you are everything!!!"
