Britney Spears' Wardrobe From "How I Met Your Mother" To Be Auctioned For Environmental Organization




Looks like Britney is trying to clean up her image - particularly with good works which is a pretty good idea I'd say.

From AP via MSNBC, Britney Spears' wardrobe from her guest-starring stint on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" will be sold at an online auction to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental organization.

The weeklong auction begins Monday night, just after the episode featuring the pop star is set to air. Spears plays a flirty receptionist who falls for show's main character.

A half-dozen Spears-worn items will be available, including a navy print Juicy Couture dress, a yellow Nannette Lepore dress and a cream Nannette Lepore cardigan with blue flower details.

CBS and 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the show, are sponsoring the auction.

Jericho Last Episode This Tuesday - Jericho To Be Canceled




To all "Jericho" fans out there, be way the news that Tuesday’s season finale will also be the series finale, the network said Friday, according the New York Times.

CBS has canceled the postapocalyptic drama “Jericho” for the second time in two years. The series, which starred Skeet Ulrich and followed the events in a small Kansas town after nuclear attacks devastated cities across the United States, was first canceled in May 2007.

A campaign by fans combined with data showing that the show was being recorded and watched outside its broadcast time persuaded CBS to order a short second season. But the show has performed poorly since the new episodes began appearing last month. The most recent episode attracted fewer than six million viewers and a 1.9 rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic.

“Without question, there are passionate viewers watching this program; we simply wish there were more,” Nina Tassler, the president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. Carol Barbee, an executive producer of “Jericho,” said she was “pursuing other venues” for the series, giving credence to reports that a cable network could pick it up.
