Yes, it’s another cameo announcement.

I’m not even sure which reality show she’s from.

So we’re clear - these people are all being cast because the episode’s script called for a bunch of reality TV stars/tabloid fixtures. It works within the episode, and it’s minor.

HIMYM is not in danger of being cancelled, and I seriously doubt this is network-mandated. CBS is very satisfied with its Monday comedies (with the possible exception of Worst Week), and HIMYM doesn’t need any help in the ratings department. Viewership has been increasing every week since 4.02 aired, and Not A Father’s Day fell just short of netting the most viewers the show has gotten since Ten Sessions.

ick.
She is a playmate. On that stupid Girls Next Door. I really should not know this stuff. I do not watch this crap. I do read Perez Hilton though.

She’s the least tolerable of the Girls Next Door. The one with the *laugh*.

i think the episode is just a dream sequence with Marshall.. and something to do with him and the bathroom with a magazine..

Thank you for saying this. Stop flipping out, fandom. HIMYM is not ruined or trashed or jumping the shark.

This doesn’t merit its own post, but according to this the filming is over and done with - green screen, no interaction with the cast.

I’m starting to become afraid to look at this (very fine) site for fear of who be next.

The whole point of this particular episodes stunt casting is that its supposed to make you cringe I think. Marshall is carrying around this trashy gossip magazine to go “read” and I think it will probably poke fun at the guest stars more than it’s supposed to be like “Oooo look who we got on our show!” I’m not sure why everyone is freaking out, I think it will be a good gag.

I totally agree with Kelly.. everyone take a chill pill.. These writers are smart not stupid.. They’re not going to write celebrities into their show just to get a celebrity.. they make it flow.. i mean they made me like Britney Spears on TV again after the disatrous Will and Grace episode.. ugh..

The reason CBS is not impressed with Worst Week is because it is a terrible show…really really bad, unwatchable…

That is all…
