Spears’ Cameo Forces Silverstone to Quit

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

Yesterday, we told you that Britney Spears would be making an upcoming appearance on How I Met Your Mother.  Unfortunately, her announced entrance was followed by someone else’s exit.

Alicia Silverstone, who was supposed to be involved in a romantic storyline with Ted, has opted out of her guest role.  It seems Alicia didn’t like the idea of Spears’ cameo overshadowing her her spotlight.  (The pop singer was slated to play her receptionist.) 

Sarah Chalke - Dr. Elliot Reid from Scrubs - will now be stepping in to fill the Clueless star’s shoes.  Unfortunately, her schedule will only allow her to be in one episode….not several, as was intended for Silverstone.  This most likely means will not know the identity of the show’s ‘mother’ anytime soon.

Could Alicia Silverstone Be How I Met Your Mother’s Mystery Woman?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, CBS, Gossip, Rumors

Based on some fine detective work, TV Guide is speculating that the ‘mother’ of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother may in fact be….Alicia Silverstone.

That educated guess is based the Clueless star’s several episode arc with ‘father’ Ted later this season.  (And it’s not like any love interest every sticks around for long on that show.)

If it isn’t Silverstone, let’s hope the writers introduce the mommy quick.  If CBS doesn’t renew the show (it’s not yet on the fall schedule), we may never find out.

Alicia Silverstone Goes Nude for PETA

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Talent, Gossip

Alicia Silverstone, who is set to star in NBC’s sitcom The Singles Table, if ever it gets a timeslot, is appearing in a new PETA commercial. In the buff. The 30-second ad features the blond beauty getting out of a pool saying, “I’m Alicia Silverstone, and I’m a vegetarian. There’s nothing in the world that’s changed me as much as this. I feel so much better and have so much more energy.” And did we mention she’s naked? The actress, who peaked at Clueless, then seemed to fizzle, is showing first-hand how being a vegan has been the best course for her body. Once criticized for her weight gain, Silverstone said, “Once I went vegan, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, my nails were stronger, and my skin was glowing. I feel great!” To borrow a phrase (from Clueless, which I have a fond place for in my heart if only for the delicious Paul Rudd), Silverstone is such a Betty.
