Britney Spears put in treadmill time at Bally's again yesterday. While we're still not sure how hard she could be working out with the sunglasses on, it probably helps her chances of becoming the gym's spokeswoman. Hopefully that job prospect is looking up, because it seems everyone jumped the gun a little about Brit making another appearance on How I Met Your Mother.

But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
