However, Spears wasn't the only guest-starring celeb to get the snub.

Mary-Kate Olsen, who portrayed a Bible-thumping pothead in Showtime's "Weeds," was also left off the list, as was Alyssa Milano, who showed up on NBC's "My Name Is Earl" during the season.

Well, at least they can't take away her Grammy.

Following her guest-starring stint on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," Britney Spears has been left off of the list of Emmy's 11 semifinalists in the category of best guest actress in a comedy series, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Despite earning largely rave reviews for her turn as Abby the receptionist on the hit sitcom, Spears couldn't crack the top 11, although she was one of 41 actresses to be considered for a nomination.

In fact, Spears wasn't even the lone "HIMYM" guest star to be left off the list - "Scrubs" star Sarah Chalke (who played Spears' boss on the show) also failed to crack Emmy's top 11 in the category.

So who did make the cut?

Sarah Silverman is one step closer to an Emmy nod, earning a spot in the top 11 for her guest spot on "Monk."

The same goes for Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher and last year's winner in the category, Elaine Stritch, all of whom have made the list following appearances on NBC's "30 Rock."

Vivica A. Fox's hopes for an Emmy are still alive on the heels of her performance in HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And Amy Ryan (who burst onto the big screen in Ben Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone" in 2007) turned a guest trip to Dunder Mifflin into a shot at an Emmy after her role in "The Office."

With Spears and Olsen being left out in the Emmy cold, it's very likely Lindsay Lohan saved herself some time by opting not to submit her name for consideration following her stint on "Ugly Betty."

Our sources say over the last few months Adnan has been getting into The Summit, the gated community where Brit lives. They have been "together," though we can't say it's still going on. We know they have been texting back and forth, at times complaining that Daddy Jamie is too "controlling" by trying to put the kibosh on the relationship.

But here's the deal. Daddy Jamie's job is to be controlling -- that's what a conservator does. And, sources tell us, Jamie's concern over his daughter seeing Adnan is not just his opinion -- the doctors who are treating Brit have told him it would be a bad thing for Brit to hook up with the dude.

Three's not a crowd for Lance Bass.

The former boy-band crooner was hanging out with one of his exes, hairstylist Ben Thigpen, on Friday night at New York City hot spot Tenjune.

And there was someone else with them.

A source reports that Bass' new beau was also there.

There aren't a lot of details about the latest guy, but a source says his name is Sebastian, and he's believed to be a personal trainer.

The three boys stayed put in the club's VIP area and "closed the place down," the source said.

Another source said this new guy has been in the picture for some time now, but he and Bass have kept things "casual."

Lance's rep could not be immediately reached for comment.
