IS IT POSSIBLE to deliver one shred of good news in the matter of Britney Spears? Yes, actually. It's a long shot, everything considered, but here goes, anyway. Matthew Perry is said to be "attached" to an NBC sitcom tentatively titled "Occasional Wife," about a guy who persuades a young woman -- "a wacky artist" -- to pretend to be his wife, the better for his career. (Yes, if it sounds familiar, it was a short-lived 1966 series. And the "pretend to be involved for professional reasons" plot was also the basis of the Jennifer Aniston bigscreen comedy, "Picture Perfect.") Some high-ups at NBC think Britney Spears has the right quality to play the free-spirited girl who helps Perry put over his charade. Is Britney marketable as a sitcom star? One NBC honcho said, "There's something about her that just connects with the audience, and they want her to succeed now in spite of her adversity." This remark was uttered before Britney's charming bodyguard crawled out to say the falling pop star took drugs in front of her children, and revealed other salacious bits of nastiness. Maybe somewhere down the road, there's salvation for Britney in the form of a TV series?

I think Brit should concentrate on learning to live in the real World and to take care of her kids before embarking on any new showbiz gigs, likely she has no choice in the matter anyway, with the new ( Very well thought out ) ruling that judge handed down the other day.
This idea is probably dead in the water cause, after that court ruling
NBC has No Bloody Choice but to find someone else, to play the part! ;)
Oh please...
Britney's been having one of the worst years in the history of showbiz, and we're supposed to believe NBC wants to put her in a sitcom with Matthew Perry, one of the stars of one of the most popular shows they ever had?
This sounds like a BS stunt cooked up by one of Britney's PR people to give her a little positive press.
That is, if she has any people who still want to work for her.
