There's lots of Britney news to talk about. The troubled singer, in another comeback effort, has landed a guest role on the U.S. sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother." Spears was said to be a total pro, showing up early and knowing all her lines. Meanwhile, Britney's dad is looking to downsize. A judge granted Jamie Spears the power to sell off the fleet of cars the singer has collected. Spears dad, who's been put in control of Britney's affairs, said the cost of maintaining seven cars is just too much. Remember the headlines earlier in the week about Britney and Mel Gibson's dinner meeting. Well, apparently it wasn't the first time the stars have come together. People magazine said Gibson and his wife have reached out to Britney in an effort to help her. Mel and Britney used to be neighbors in Malibu. British actor Paul Scofield, famed for his Oscar-winning portrayal of Sir Thomas Moore in "The Man For All Seasons," has died at the age of 86. Scofield had been suffering from leukemia. Scofield later went on to star in Robert Redford's 1994 film Quiz Show and the 1996 screen adaptation of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Owen Wilson's latest effort, "Drillbit Taylor" hits movie screens this weekend. But, you'll be hard pressed to find the star doing any publicity for the comedy. The Los Angeles Times reports that the studio was afraid that interviewers would focus on Wilson's apparent suicide attempt last summer. Lastly, with the studio moving up the release date for "Quantum of Solace" to October 31, here's a sneak peak from some location shots of the upcoming James Bond flick.
