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.

Rachael Ray Throws a Prom

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication

OK, there’s no disputing that Rachael Ray is a do-gooder. And in this case, she helped a high school where eight students and the school were lost in a tornado on March 1st. Not only did she plan the meal and help prepare it, but she also paid for the prom for Enterprise High School in Alabama. She filmed the whole thing and will air it on the April 30th episode of her talk show. “The students of Enterprise High are so courageous, given all that they’ve gone through,” said Ray. “When I heard about what happened to their school and classmates, we wanted to help.” And that’s not all—Mandy Moore showed up to sing three songs at the end of the shindig. The memory of their fallen classmates was not forgotten, as they displayed pictures of the students and honored them. Still, students found it hard to celebrate, with one senior commenting, “It makes it a little harder for me. I’m used to all of them being around.”
