Neil Patrick Harris Against Second Britney Appearance

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip

While I’m sure he’s appreciative of the attention she helped bring to the show, How I Met Your Mother‘s Neil Patrick Harris would rather a certain pop star stayed at home.

Britney Spears’ cameo last month helped the CBS comedy earn its best performance in the demos ever.  So why wouldn’t he want her to come back?  Harris would (smartly) prefer to see Mother succeed on its own merits.  In an interview with the AP, the actor admitted that his opinions are not shared by everyone in his crew. “I’m in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed.”

The singer’s highly-publicized appearance was not the first time the series had had a celebrity visit.  Other guests have included Heidi Klum, Enrique Iglesias, Vanessa Minnillo and Mandy Moore.  If the stunt casting continues at this pace, the comedy could end up looking like a former NBC hit.

More Vanessa Hudgens Photos Released

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Late Night, Music, Cable, NBC, Gossip

As we reported earlier, Vanessa Hudgens canceled a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show yesterday.  While it was safe to assume she was still embarrassed about her infamous nudie pic, it turns out she may have been reacting to another round of photos altogether.

Former friends everywhere have been opening up their shoeboxes and sharing their favorite stills of the High School Musical star.  The latest ones released yesterday, reminiscent of the racy photos Lindsay Lohan took with Vanessa Minnillo, at least have her fully clothed this time.  One photo shows Vanessa almost connecting tongues with another girlfriend while a second apparently shows her touching a friend’s breast.

We can only hope Disney was apprised of all her photos before they issued their (weak) statement of support; I don’t imagine they will stop coming out of the woodwork anytime soon.

Vanessa Minnillo Bails from TRL

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Rumors

After four years on MTV’s Total Request Live, Vanessa Minnillo is calling it quits. Is it TRL‘s change in format to a semi-live program, or her recent shacking up with Nick Lachey to blame? Well, maybe some of both… or maybe neither. Minnillo said of her departure, “I had my four years there like high school or college. I’m ready for the next chapter – what it is, I have no idea. [But] I don’t want to be 48 saying, ‘Hey kids, now it’s Sean Preston Spears’s video.’ ” Good girl, getting out before she’s old and gray. She does have a career in the wings—a makeup line for Flirt! Cosmetics, which will be available in August. “We have two looks going on,” Minnillo said. “You can have that fun rock-and-roll look or an everyday look.” OK, sure. She’ll also show up in the next Fantastic Four. I’m sure she’ll have no trouble finding work. There’s always a new reality show looking for a host.
