Straight out of the ‘WTF Folder’, Liz Smith of the New York Post reports that some NBC insiders believe Britney Spears could be just the ticket to play opposite Matthew Perry in a new sitcom.
The tentatively titled ‘Occasional Wife’ has the ‘Friends’ alum attached to play a guy who persuades a young, wacky artist to pose as his missus, so as to bolster his career. Assessing Brit’ fit for the female lead, one source insider says, “There’s something about her that just connects with the audience…. They want her to succeed now in spite of her adversity.” Or at least pump out one last decent music video.

I smell a giant rumor.
didn’t jennifer aniston do that same story in ‘picture perfect’?
This is a joke right? How in the world would they even get her insured? There is no way.
Actually, Brit was a big hit when she guested on Will and Grace. I kind of hope this is true, she may be effed in the head right now, but when sober she can be pretty damn entertaining
Oh good god do the 18 people that went and saw her last ‘film’ have amnesia (they probably hope so)- brit makes lindsay look like meryl streep.
Hmmmm this doesn’t sound very true to me. I do think Brit would be good on a sitcom though if she could get her act together. She’s got one of those personalities that just make people want to watch her and listen to what she’s got to say. Maybe its the Southern thing? I thought she was funny on Will and Grace and hilarious that time when she hosted SNL…even her reality show was kind of fascinating. Good idea but until Britney gets her life back on track I can’t see her showing up every day on a set and actually following a schedule.
Ashley - the pre-show press is what worked for Britt, she was majorly panned once the show aired.
bullshit.
is that a real picture? she looks aammaazing there…Oooh, how i miss the old Britney glory days when her weave loooked good and her stomach was ripped…………………
This better be a lie. Who would wanna work with that washed-up, talentless nutjob? MP can’t be that desperate. She was laughably bad on “Will & Grace!” Skank can’t act for shit. She can’t *act* like a mother, a dancer, or a singer…she’s only convincing as a trashy, self-absorbed cunt.
I actually loved Crossroads, LOL. True story.
