Allie Merriam — Tue, 01 May 2012 12:56:28 PDT

Fans of How I Met Your Mother will know Cobie Smulders, who's played Canadian TV host extraordinaire Robin Scherbatsky for seven seasons on the hit CBS series. She's got the biggest movie role of her career, though, in this week's The Avengers. She stars opposite stars like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner in the Marvel superhero action flick. We've been big fans of Cobie's for years, and hopefully The Avengers is a sign of big things to come! We've rounded up 10 fun facts about Cobie, starting with her real-life relationship with SNL star Taran Killam. Click through, and start getting to know Cobie!

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 05:30:00 PDT

If you've seen any of the prequel movies to The Avengers, then you probably know Clark Cregg as the wisecracking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson. In the new movie, he's joined by fellow agent Maria Hill, played by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders. I sat down with the pair at the film's recent press day to talk about the film's amazing special effects, what it was like for Smulders to join the cast as a newbie, and more. Watch!

How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders smolders on the red carpet wearing a body-hugging Reem Acra dress paired with standout accessories (like that Jimmy Choo clutch). Her gold collar necklace and hammered cuff add a high-fashion touch to her look, and we love her old Hollywood updo. Smoky eyes, light pink lips, and neutral sandals complete her ensemble. Are you feeling it?

Rachel Zoe threw on a Ports 1961 dress last night to attend Elle's Women in TV dinner at LA's Soho House, hosted by Joe Zee, with her adorable husband Rodger Berman. The super stylist was joined on the red carpet by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders, and a curve-showing Sofia Vergara, who just revealed that she's designing a line for K-Mart. True Blood's Sam Trammell balanced out the ladies, as did Sofia's Modern Family costar Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The celebs all mingled inside, and Sofia snapped a photo of her good times with Sam and Jesse. Rachel, meanwhile, dished about the foods she's loving while pregnant. She said, "I really enjoy things that are tart, like strawberries and grapefruit. . . Sour things like that, but nothing really weird."

The How I Met Your Mother Gang Is Holding Out For Aniston

PopSugar — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:30:00 PST

The stars of How I Met Your Mother were together in LA last night celebrating their 100th episode at the Paley Center. The men of the series stopped to pose for photos on the way in, as a Lindsay Lohan-less Jason Segel and the single again Josh Radnor hammed it up alongside Neil Patrick Harris. Alyson Hannigan and Colbie Smulders were expectant mamas at a similar panel last year, but both stars have since welcomed daughters. Their series won big at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards, though the ladies are hoping for more - Alyson revealed her ideal guest star would be Jennifer Aniston, while Colbie is pulling for Meryl Streep. As for the ongoing mystery of who actually is the mother, Jason joked, "If we keep waiting, science will catch up and there's no reason that Marshall [his character] won't be the mother."

PopSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:30:10 PST

The cast of How I Met Your Mother gathered in LA last night for an event at the Academy of Television Arts And Sciences. The show's pregnant stars Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders brought along their men - Alyson with her husband Alexis Denisof while newly-engaged Cobie showed off the rock given to her by Taran Killam. Neil Patrick Harris rubbed both of their baby bumps before they all took the stage to talk about their program and sign autographs for fans. There hasn't been much news lately about Jason's romance with Drew Barrymore, but Josh Radnor seems to be going strong with Lipstick Jungle's Lindsay Price. Josh gushed about how he thought the show was "too good to be true" from the beginning, but four seasons later devoted and new fans are still eager to finally meet the mother.

How I Met Your Mother Kids Pose Pretty and Talk Britney

Molly — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:30:22 PDT

The adorable cast of How I Met Your Mother minus Jason Segel got together to share a few red carpet laughs in NYC last night at an Academy screening of the show. Alyson looked especially fabulous in her LWD while Jason Radnor looked every bit his character in the untucked shirt, tie and jeans. At the event Neil Patrick Harris talked about, what else, the possibility of bringing Britney back. He said, "The door is open for her. We would love (guest stars) who get in the show’s world to stick around if they want to … but I don’t know what the writers have planned." While I love the show with or without Miss Spears, it would be fun to see crazy Abby one more time.

Faux Music Video: Robin Sparkles, "Sandcastles in the Sand"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 06:30:06 PDT

Oh, How I Met Your Mother. Not only did they bring us a legen - wait for it - dary kiss last night, they also premiered the long-awaited B-side to Robin Sparkles' "Let's Go to the Mall," a mournful breakup ballad called "Sandcastles in the Sand." We got a preview of the video last week, but that didn't make the ultimate reveal any less amusing. (Admittedly, my biggest laugh in the episode came from a well-timed Degrassi joke - but that could just be me.)

The overwrought, obviously-written-by-a-16-year-old ballad included lines like "Together we were going to travel the globe/from Alberta to Ontrario," an awesomely bad makeout session with a character played by James Van Der Beek, and cameos from Tiffany and Alan Thicke to bring real '80s cred. I think the best description might be Barney's from the episode: "You know, if you re-edit it, there's a tampon commercial in there somewhere." It also made me think of this Wilson Phillips video for the first time in a decade or so, which I suppose is something to be proud of.

Did you think "Sandcastles in the Sand" lived up to the promise of "Let's Go to the Mall" and "You Just Got Slapped"? To check out the full video, just

First Look: Robin Sparkles, "Sandcastles in the Sand"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:30:41 PDT

The moment that How I Met Your Mother's Robin first revealed that she was the Canadian teen pop sensation Robin Sparkles, complete with hit single "Let's Go to the Mall," was one of the show's truly classic moments - not to mention one of my favorite online TV spots of all time.

On Monday, Robin Sparkles is back - this time with a little help from James Van Der Beek as an ex-boyfriend of Robin's who happened to star in the video for the B-side to "Let's Go to the Mall," a wistful breakup ballad called "Sandcastles in the Sand." Variety already has the whole song streaming online, but I'm holding off on listening to it until Monday. It's probably silly, but I want to be at least a little bit surprised.

I did, however, cave and watch some of the video teasers that have been released via CBS and MySpace. From the peeking I've done, I can tell the videos have a great, dated vibe, with a dose of Heidi Montag beach video and an amazingly awkward Dawson-related make-out scene. Can't wait till Monday? You can check out both video teasers if you

How I Met Your Mother (Minus Brit) Meets Jameson

Molly — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:30:45 PDT

The fabulous cast of How I Met Your Mother came together for a little early St. Patrick's Day party in Hollywood last night sponsored by Jameson. Sadly, their newest costar didn't come for the festivities, but you gotta believe that Miss Britney was still all anyone wanted to talk about. Alyson Hannigan skipped out on the traditional green garb - but Fab's got all the info on her cute look. How much fun would it be to party with NPH, Jason Segel and the gang? Next time, Brit should totally tag along.
