  • Video Q&As: I Hit the How I Met Your Motherlode! | TV Matt'rs | 6/10/2008
    The night was Awe. Some.Nearly the entire How I Met Your Mother gang (minus Jason Segel, who is busy shooting a movie) congregated at McGee's in NYC — aka the inspiration for the sitcom's McClaren's. Cozying up with each in a booth (and maybe the occasional adult beverage...), I sought out scoop on all things Mother.Here, I will embed the video of Neil Patrick Harris, who ponders the Barney-Robin hookup and their possible future, the Britney aftermath and more. Links to my sit-downs with Josh, Cobie, Alyson and a pair of producers will follow. I hope you enjoy, because it was one of my most fun outings here ever!More from the Mother gang:• Josh Radnor on Sarah Chalke, fans getting Lost-like crazy and more.• Alyson Hannigan on dissing me for three years straight(!), Lily and Marshall's next hurdles (a baby, maybe?) and more. • Cobie Smulders on dressing to kill, getting "tipsy" to play Robin Sparkles and more.• Exec producers Carter Bays and Pamela Fryman... read more
  • Cobie Smulders Makes How I Met Your Mother Sparkle | TV Show Previews | 4/21/2008
    Acid-wash denim, neon jelly bracelets and big teased hair are making a comeback — for one night anyway, when the totally awesome Robin Sparkles makes a return appearance on How I Met Your Mother (tonight at 8:30 pm/ET, CBS). We asked Cobie Smulders about her Canadian teen pop-star alter ego, whose first fake hit, "Let's Go to the Mall," became a real Internet sensation in 2006. — Megan Walsh-Boyle TVGuide.com: Robin Sparkles is back!Cobie Smulders: She's back with a vengeance, [and] back with a teenage angst love song.TVGuide.com: We hear James Van Der Beek will be joining you on this episode.Smulders: He's great — super-funny and very talented. He has to wear some ridiculous costumes — we kind of make him older and look terrible for a few scenes, but he's still handsome. He has been a real team player with all that stuff.TVGuide.com: Tell us about the new song, "Sandcastles in the Sand." Smulders: The song is a love ballad about teen heartbreak.

  • Robin Sparkles' Latest Hit "Leaks" onto the Internet | Today's News: Our Take | 4/16/2008
    Back in 2006, it was revealed that Sparkles is the stage name of How I Met Your Mother's Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), who apparently was briefly a teen pop star in Canada. The video for her minor hit "Let's Go to the Mall" became a viral sensation, prompting the show's producers to pen a B-side ballad. "Sandcastles in the Sand" is currently streaming audio at Variety.com, while a clip from the music video is available below. The full vid goes online following the April 21 Mother, which features guest spots by James Van Der Beek, Alan Thicke and former teen popstress Tiffany (who will surely rock your body 'till Canada Day). Warning: The song is made of crack cocaine, and will be stuck in your head all day. What's your favorite lyric? Are you as all aboot Ms. Sparkles as we are? — Mickey O'Connor read more
  • Tiffany, Alan Thicke Add Sparkle to April 21 Mother | Today's News: Our Take | 4/9/2008
    The April 21 episode of How I Met Your Mother is turning into a wonderful '80s flashback. Already marking the return of Robin Sparkles, the outing will feature visits from former teen popstress Tiffany and Growing Pains' Alan Thicke, playing Ms. Sparkles' gal pal and father, respectively, in a newly unearthed video for "Sandcastles in the Sand," a ballad Robin wrote upon being dumped by her backup-dancer beau (Dawson's Creek's James Van Der Beek).HIMYM co-creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wrote and composed "Sandcastles in the Sand" as the B-side of "Let's Go to the Mall," using iconic '80s breakup ballads such as "Foolish Beat" and "Toy Soldiers" as inspiration.With Michael Gross (Family Ties) having guested as Ted's pop and Bob Saget (Full House) playing narrator, Thicke represents the third classic '80s dad to get involved with the CBS sitcom. What's your take? Is this shaping up to be one of Mother's best eps? — MWM read more
  • Mother Cast Celebrates New Shows, and St. Pat's Day | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 3/15/2008
    The cast of How I Met Your Mother put the "work hard, play hard" philosophy into action Thursday night as they celebrated the premiere of their spring season and St. Patrick's Day at the Palihouse Hotel in West Hollywood. Stars Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Bob Saget wrapped up a milestone week of filming with pop diva Britney Spears and turned out in their red carpet finery ready to par-tay. Jameson Irish Whiskey cocktails flowed, Irish-themed hors d'oeuvres (including mini corned-beef-and-cabbage tarts, whiskey wings, and mini shepherd's pies) were passed around, and Segel dished about Brit-Brit's acting chops.

Segel also discussed his moonlighting as a big-time Hollywood writer when he's not working on HIMYM. "I'm writing the script to the next Muppet movie," he said.
