Jennifer Lopez was the guest star last night on How I Met Your Mother and did a great job!- much better than Carrie Underwood last week. It was interesting to see the show had two huge guest stars on back to back episodes, but Lopez was great fun to watch as she toyed with Barney. Though I think that the show really does not need to rely guest stars to be a success.
The highlight for me was seeing the true character of Barney -his much softer side. Since Barney and Robin’s break up, it had been unreal for things to go back to normal so quickly as if the relationship never happened, or was not at all important. And apparently poor Robin felt the same. This was an issue to be dealt with and the writers did a great job showing how much Barney actually cares for Robin.
I was not a fan of Ted’s song about the Super date though. It was awkward and did not work within the context or with Ted’s character. And then again, I loved when the whole gang broke out singing the very catchy Bang Bang!!
I must admit, I was disappointed to see Robin go on the “super date” with Don. And I think a lot of you were too. I was, and not-so-secretly, hoping they will get back together.
Do you think the writers are paving the way back to Robin & Barney 2.0 ?
I sure hope so!!
My fave moments;
Barney: At least when I run out on a girl, I have the decency to sleep with her first. It’s called manners.
Marshall: You’re my wife. You’re supposed to stop me from embarrassing myself in public.

Neil Patrick Harris made a surprise appearance at last night’s Academy Awards ceremony, wowing viewers and audience members alike with his song and dance rendition of “No One Wants to Do It Alone” as a tribute to hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. No wonder he was snagged as a guest star for an upcoming episode of Glee – this guy can can do it all!
Check out the video of his Oscar performance below.
The How I Met Your Mother star has confirmed he will essay the lead in Sony’s Smurfs: The Movie, a live-action/CGI-animated flick based on the classic ‘toon series. Harris will be part of the “live-action” half of the equation. Shooting starts next month, during his HIMYM hiatus, on the first of a planned trilogy of movies.
Given his Broadway chops, we’re hoping he joins the little blue beings for a rousing “Tra la la la la la” theme song.
Joining Harris will be legendary funnyman Jonathan Winters, still going strong at age 84, as Papa Smurf, along with George Lopez (Grouchy) and Alan Cumming (Gutsy). Katy Perry is in talks to voice Smurfette.
And lest anyone think Doogie is slumming it with Brainy, Papa, Smurfette and the rest of the mushroom-dwelling set, Harris took to his Twitter page to defend trumpet his role.
“I’ll do my smurfiest to represent well,” the 36-year-old thesp tweeted, before responding to a question: “Why? Smurfs are rad.”
CBS released this video teaser for next week’s How I Met Your Mother episode, featuring Jennifer Lopez (yes, that’s two quest stars in a row) as a self-help author out to teach Barney a lesson.
Neil Patrick Harris will star in Sony’s big screen adaptation of The Smurfs, says Deadline Hollywood. He won’t be voicing one of the Smurfs though as the project is a mix of live-action and animation. Harris will play the lead live-action character.
The site says that filming begins in April, when Harris will be on hiatus from CBS “How I Met Your Mother.” The Raja Gosnell-directed film is scheduled for a July 29, 2011 release.
“The Smurfs” were created in 1958 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, known throughout the world as Peyo. “The Smurfs,” originally called “Les Schtroumpfs” in French, were created for a Belgian series of comic books, first as minor characters. The villagers, known for their blue skin and small statures, spawned a line of statuettes, games, toys, theme parks and a hit TV series, which ran as part of NBC’s Saturday-morning lineup from 1981-90.
