    She shaved her head, went commando and drove with a baby in her lap. Here's a look at past antics of pop princess Britney Spears.

(CBS)  Britney Spears shows a comic flair as the giggly, nervous receptionist Abby on the March 24 episode of "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS.

During the show, the receptionist undergoes a transformation of sorts.

"Initially, she's wearing glasses and (is) a little mousey and, as she develops this crush, she gets a little foxier, tries to impress me," said Radnor.

Sure there is a positive thing each of us can do. Reduce or eliminate purchases of "Made in China" products AND services. Wreck China''s economy, create chaos in China''s being able to fund its militaristic stranglehold on the region, thereby releasing Tibet also from China''s chokehold. The results of such individual action which you can begin today without firing a shot will take years to topple the regime in China...but patience, persistence, and dogged stubborness yields better results than any ''flash in the pan'' short-term outburst. The Chinese know such attributes are thought of as un-American, but then they have been dead wrong before about Americans.

Being a star is so much easier than being a sober parent.
