American TV channel CBS has confirmed superstar Britney Spears second appearance on the hitshow “How I Met Your Mother”, but this time around her ditzy character Abby is teaming up with the womanizing Barney (Neil Patrick Harris).

Production of the episode began today.”We’re all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again. And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney’s very nice and no, I can’t get her autograph for you,” said Craig Thomas, executive producer and co-creator of the show.

In the episode, Barney and Abby realize that they have one thing in common: their mutual hatred of her unrequited love Ted (Jason Radnor). The “couple” decides to go to the bar to flaunt their new relationship in Ted’s face. Desperate to get a rise out of his former pal, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby.

Britney’s previous apperance on the show on March 24 brought almost 11 million viewers to the show – a record for the sitcom that is currently on it’s third season.

“How I Met Your Mother” airs Mondays at 8:30 pm (ET/PT) on CBS, Britney’s new appearance airs on May 12.
