The week wouldn't be complete without a thorough Britney Spears progress report. Everyone's favorite trainwreck, who spent the week filming scenes for an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother, has been relatively quiet. But the cast loves to talk about Brit, so there's been a different story every five minutes about how great she was. Lucky us.

Alyson Hannigan made up some stuff in order to stay on Brit's good side:

She was lovely. She’s just a person — so sweet and funny. We just talked about our clothes and dogs, and it was surprisingly just normal.

We appreciate the effort Al, but throwing in the "clothes and dogs" comment isn't going to make the "lovely" assertion believable.

Next up is Neil Patrick Harris with a more credible story:

She's good. She seemed a little nervous, she wore the big sunglasses the whole time. I think that's a bit of a security blanket. But she seems very professional.

Being up close to her, she seems like a very sort of fragile, kind of complicated person; it must be very strange to live in her life.

"Britney" then released a statement to the media about her time on the set:

Working at How I Met Your Mother has been so terrific. Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful and Abby is such a fun girl to play. I'm having a blast!

We're not even going to touch that, because it's obvious that did not come from Brit. If she had issued the statement herself, it would have been a bunch of random misspelled words mixed in with drawings of Cheetos and frapps.
