After stints on NBC’s Will & Grace and most recently a turn as guest host on Lopez Tonight, Jennifer Lopez is coming back to TV in a guest starring role on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother. The news comes on the heels of news that the singer may also guest star on Fox’s Glee. Lopez will play Anita Appleby, a no-nonsense self-help author who teaches women how to turn men into relationship machines. When Robin clues Anita in on Barney’s antics, Anita is determined to change him. “We’re looking forward to a week of revealing outfits and sexy dance moves the likes of which this show hasn’t seen since Regis Philbin guest starred,” said HIMYM‘s executive producer and co-creator Carter Bays. Lopez’s episode is slated to air in March.

Ugh! Stop with the lame stunt casting HIMYM! You don’t need big names to make your show awesome. It already is!
Michelle, you took the words right out of my mouth, this show is a perfect ten and stunt casting is not needed for the show and I would rather them just use the brilliant cast without getting superstars to be in it, no offense to J.Lo, the show doesn’t need help being, wait for it, LEGENDARY, it already is and has been for the 5 seasons its been on.
