Jason
Segel: "Britney Spears Blanked Me After Not Getting Joke"
4/3/08
Actor Jason Segel was left red-faced on the set of U.S. sitcom How I
Met Your Mother recently - when guest star Britney Spears blanked him
after he made a joke.
Segel was bemused by the paparazzi in helicopters circling the show's
Hollywood set trying to get a shot of Spears, who had a cameo role as a
secretary on the TV comedy.
So the comedian approached the Toxic singer to offer an alternative
explanation for the choppers in the sky - but she didn't get his joke.
Segel says, "I went up to her and said, 'I'm sorry, I have this
big movie coming out - this is what it's like for me.'
"She looked at me strangely and walked away."
