Rather than celebrate with a big evening out on the town, Britney had a quiet British accent-filled dinner [1] with her bodyguard and a friend last night. Looks like she sped through it and grabbed a doggie bag . . . so she could get home in time to watch herself on How I Met Your Mother [2]? It sounds like she wasn't the only one — you all overwhelmingly voted that you loved her appearance [3]! Having been a fan of HIMYM since the start, I thought it was so fun to see her with the boys (also, I heart Sarah Chalke). Plus, Brit looked pretty cute, so yay for bidding on her wardrobe [4]. In case you missed seeing Brit's big performance, check it out over on Buzz [5], who also has the news that the ratings were great. Fingers crossed, this is just the beginning of things getting better for Britney — here's to having hope for second chances [6] after all.
