Nicole Richie is returning to the small screen. No, not for The Simple Life (thankfully), but to NBC's action dramedy Chuck.

Lucky for Zachary Levi (Chuck), he gets to be on set with not just one blonde bombshell—Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah)—but now Nicole Richie will be joining him.

Similar to Lindsay Lohan's appearance as Betty's high school tormenter in Ugly Betty, Nicole will play the snarky and evil girl who tortured Sarah in school.

When Sarah must attend her 10-year-high school reunion for a mission—with Chuck as her date, of course—she has to face her high school nemesis.

According to executive producer Josh Schwartz, "Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny. This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt. It's going to be really fun."

How does this compare to Britney Spears' gig on How I Met Your Mother? Will you watch Nicole's Chuck debut?

Britney Spears is guest starring as Abby, a receptionist who becomes overly smitten with Ted. Scrubs' Sarah Chalke is also in the episode, playing the doctor who Abby works for and who Ted is actually crushing on. Who will win out? Britney or Sarah?

The AMAZING comedy How I Met Your Mother returned to the airwaves last night. While it wasn't one of their funniest episodes (it was more introspective), it still had that great How I Met Your Mother vibe that is what draws us all to the show.

And, next week, Britney Spears will be on! Fingers crossed that millions of people will watch because of Brit Brit, realize how fabulous the show is and then become lifelong How I Met Your Mother fans so that it stays on the air forever.

Until then, for some crazy reason, the show has yet to be renewed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: How I Met Your Mother is the best comedy on television.

So will someone please tell me why CBS has yet to renew it?

Many people might think I'm speaking blasphemy here, but this is how I truly feel: How I Met Your Mother is better than Friends.

The characters—Ted, Marshall, Barney, Lily and Robin—are not only more realistic than the characters on Friends, but they're funnier too. The How I Met Your Mother characters are perfect for the 18-49 (guys and girls) audience, because we all have friends like them and we all have the conversations that they have.

Last year it took CBS some time before announcing Mother's renewal, so there's still hope that we'll get a fourth season. (Right now all we know is that How I Met Your Mother will return post-strike on March 17 with nine new episodes.) Though I'm still confused as to why it wasn't renewed along with the rest of the CBS shows.

CBS renewed the dramas Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, Numb3rs and Without a Trace. As for the comedies, it renewed Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory.

Two and a Half Men is a humorous show, but it's a comedy that my parents find funny and one that I can live without. The Big Bang Theory is also very cute, and I'm glad it was renewed as I watched it each week, but if I had to pick between it and How I Met Your Mother, Mother would win with flying colors.

Plain and simple, How I Met Your Mother is a fantastic comedy. And in a time when great comedies are so few and far between, why would CBS take such a prized possession and treat it liked chopped liver?

Please, please, please watch How I Met Your Mother when it returns on March 17, and prove to CBS that the viewers want this realistic and hilarious show to continue for years to come. The characters on How I Met Your Mother have become our friends and we want to grow old with them—not remembering them!
