Your Chatty Source For Slightly Important NewsTVGuide.com is reporting that NBC wants Britney Spears to appear opposite Matthew Perry in a new sitcom tentatively titled Occasional Wife.
Could this be any worse of an idea?
Spears, seen here hugging Perry in 2002, would play a "wacky artist" on the show.

carol (8:44 PM 9/20/2007): i think it will be good for her to have different positive people in her life. things will soon turn around for her. i am speaking from experience.
rachael (9:08 PM 9/20/2007): Why do these networks make pilots for shows they know are going to bomb? No one wants to see Britney, unless its getting out of a car with no panties on. She's washed up. She needs to just quit before anything gets worse.
Julie (10:06 PM 9/20/2007): People are so jealous! Just leave Britney alone! Who are you to say that the show will bomb? Don't hate just because she's accomplished more in her life than you ever will. Stop hating on her! Everyone makes mistakes, you have made your share of them I am sure of it! The only difference between her mistakes and everyone else is that hers are noticed because she's always in the spotlight! She's a star and you are not...get over yourself!
Slick Willy Clinton (11:30 PM 9/20/2007): Damn! I'd still hit dat azz!
Leave my lady Brit alone! Hell, even Hillary and Chelsea wanna pop dat azz too! She's got two kids already, ya know she does it!

Stanley Harris (12:34 AM 9/21/2007): As a psychic, I can see the future. In a few years, Britney Spears will be recognized as one of the world's greatest geniuses and voted by popular appeal to be ruler of the world. Once ruler of the world, Britney will have all records of what anyone said about her reviewed and anyone with negative opinions will be put to death. So be careful what you say about Britney.
Lovely (12:47 AM 9/21/2007): No no Stanley - you must be thinking of Oprah.
Lin (6:24 AM 9/21/2007): Julie, people are not jealous of Spears, and even if anyone ever was jealous of her, there most certainly is nothing to be jealous of now. What she has done the last several years cannot be classified as "mistakes!" There are many successful young actresses and singers who are even more successful than Britney ever was, and no one ever sees them out partying all the time, at all hours, exposiing themselves, and doing the crazy things that Spears has done recently. She is only in the "spotlight" as of late because she has went to the extremes to put herself there. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it is Britney Spears.
Trish (7:03 AM 9/21/2007): it's time to leave Britney alone.. granted she goes looking for attention with her outrageous behavior, but someone needs to step up and help her.
I mean her mom, someone in her family...someone. God this kid has lived through a ton of misery in her short lifetime.
Someone needs to save her from herself :(
Sol (8:57 AM 9/21/2007): Sure! Get 2 drug addicts to act together, since there is no more hope for either of them elsewhere.
ItsMe (9:56 AM 9/21/2007): cool! I hope it's a hit!
Ted (12:23 PM 9/21/2007): Britney is the youngest washed up has-been ever. If NBC wants to waste money on her they deserve the flop it will be. Stay away M. Perry!!
michele (2:07 PM 9/21/2007): Wasn't there a show on TV many years ago, in the 60s, by the same name "Occassional Wife." ?? I don't think it lasted a season, if it's the one I'm thinking of.
No matter. If Britney can pull herself together and stay out of the public eye, at least until the program airs, THIS will be the "come-back" for her. NOT anything she attempts as a singer/performer. The sitcom is her golden ( and perhaps last ) chance to re-invent herself.
For God's Sake, Britney, don't screw this up.
pash1212 (6:26 PM 9/21/2007): awesome I would watch too see if it was good
mary (10:23 PM 9/22/2007): she needs to get off of her drugs before she thinks about acting.take care of her kids first
Tamar (3:03 PM 9/23/2007): When Brittney first started, yes she was only 18, and she was good. If she would of never met Kfed, everything for her would of turned out, she didn't do drugs, and she wasn't out drinking, look at the way his lifestyle was, he was the worst influence she could of had!!!! Does anyone remember this, and now he wants to make himself into a goody-two-shoes. Hello, am I the only one that remembers this? Hopefully, she won't loose her kids, but I don't think that he is the one that should raise them.
Ava (7:57 PM 9/25/2007): please do not make the mistake of giving that dumb hoe a show she is just going to ruin everything like she always does, thats all she knows how to do.... why are people in hollywood such dumbasses, let the dumbasses career die. dont give her more money for drugs booze and everything else that is ruining her kids.
goawayjolie (10:21 AM 9/27/2007): this would be good for Brit. she really needs a big change in her..work mite help cut down on the partying and her getting into trouble. A more responsible Brit..that would be nice to see.
Crying Expressive Hetrosexual (10:47 PM 9/30/2007): GAHD ! CAN'T YOU PEOPLE LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE !! SHE'S ONLY HUMAN ! I'M CRYING HUGE GOBS OF TEARS RIGHT NOW !! AND YOU CAN'T TELL IF I'M A GIRL OR A GUY !! JUST LEAVE HER ALONE ...PLEASE !!!
was that good enough for a pilot ?
nASTY bOIL (6:43 PM 10/13/2007): I've seen the pilot and it's great .Dickhead.Perry and Spears both take handsfull of downers and drink five six packs of beer and then take turns falling down and passing out . Now that's entertainment ! dickhead.
