The back-to-business Britney Spears arrived bright and early to the Fox Studios in Century City on Tuesday for a table read in preparation for her second guest appearance on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

Spears headed out around 8:30 am and made a quick stop at Starbucks in Beverly Hills before arriving at Fox.

Spears first appeared on the show in late March playing a receptionist named Abby and will return to the role in an episode titled “Everything Must Go” airing May 12. In the episode, Spears and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris’s character) taunt Ted, played by Josh Radnor, by pretending they’re in a relationship. Barney, who is desperate for a response from Abby pops her a shocking question.

The singer’s first spot on the show earned her positive reviews and brought in the show’s highest ratings yet.

Britney’s official site has confirmed the news of her return to the comedy:

“Brit’s guest appearance on “How I Met Your Mother” went so well last month that she’s going back for seconds! Yep, yep, the date is TBD — but it is confirmed that our fair lady will be reprising her holy role as a receptionist in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more info!”

I really hate the way they’re updating her site these days, I wish they’d find someone else to update it, with a less annoying style of writing!

If you think that blonde on the treadmill next to you looks just like Britney Spears, you might be right.

The 26-year-old pop star has become a regular at two Bally Total Fitness gyms in Los Angeles, and has taken on the company’s top fitness and nutrition experts as her personal coaches, Bally said Thursday.

“We are training Britney Spears,” John Wildman, the company’s chief marketing officer, told The Associated Press. “Britney is a regular active member of Bally and is working with our top two people. … Britney is their only client.”

Spears has been working out up to three times a day for the past three weeks, Wildman said, adding that her on-again manager, Larry Rudolph, arranged the relationship.

The attention that constantly surrounds Spears is good for the fitness chain, Wildman said.

“It brings visibility to what we think is a very unique and proprietary service offering that we have,” he said. “We hope to see her through to reaching her fitness goals.”

More exciting news, Britney visited a voice coach this morning!  Apparently it’s the same one that Paris Hilton used to record her album back in 2005.

Who knows what’s going on… Larry Rudolph is denying anything major is happening, but all the signs say otherwise.  I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…

Britney Spears returned to the recording studio this week with former manager Larry Rudolph.

“We went into the studio, but it was just for fun – nothing more,” Rudolph tells Usmagazine.com of their visits to a studio in Burbank, CA Monday and Tuesday.

Spears, 26, has not been in a recording studio for the past year, a source tells Us.

“She just wanted to go in and tinker around,” the source says. “She sat at a piano and got some ideas. She played the piano and sang a bit. She enjoyed herself.”

Spears played old and new tunes, the source says, adding, “she wanted to go in as a way to get her creativity going. It was a really positive experience for her.”

Spears and Rudolph, who produces MTV’s Rock the Cradle, “are not at the stage where they are talking business yet,” nor is this studio visit the start of a new project, the source says.

Earlier this month, Rudolph – who is credited for discovering Spears and managing her career for 9 years – told Us that she is on the “right path.”
