The stars of the hit CBS series How I Met Your Mother were on hand at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, CA for an event honoring the show’s milestone 100th episode. Speaking to Extra! TV on the red carpet, Alyson Hannigan talked a bit about some of the famous guest stars that have appeared on HIMYM and revealed who she would like to see guest on the show in the future:

Country superstar Carrie Underwood will stop by as guest star on “How I Met Your Mother” and star Alyson Hannigan tells “Extra” she’s happy to be working with Carrie but she would also like to see Jennifer Aniston on the show! “I’m going to put that out there!” she smiled. Underwood’s name will be added to the list of celebs who have guest-starred, including Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian and Wayne Brady. Co-star Cobie Smulders wouldn’t mind sharing a scene with another megastar. “If Meryl’s free, that’d be nice,” Smulders, 27, joked. She continued, “I love having guest stars, but I love when they cast people who are up-and-coming and need a break.” “The Twilight Saga” star Rachelle Lefevre appeared in an episode where she fell for Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris) before landing the role of evil vampire Victoria. “We like the people who come on the show and really play on the show,” Harris explained. The suited-up stud also says he’s “excited” to have Underwood on board, but “it’s hard to top the Victoria Secret supermodels for Barney because he had a whole episode with them and Heidi Klum.” On Thursday, “How I Met Your Mother” reached a sitcom milestone and celebrated its 100th episode at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills. Hannigan, who picked up a People’s Choice Award for her role, confessed, “I’m so lucky to be on two shows that have reach a hundred episodes.” The glowing actress, 35, also topped over 100 episodes with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

Firstly, congratulations to the cast and crew of How I Met Your Mother on reaching their 100th episode. The true test of a good show is lasting long enough to make it to 100 eps. Secondly, how great do Alyson and Cobie Smulders look in these photos?! These ladies always bring the hotness when they show up on the red carpet. The dudes, save for Neil Patrick Harris and Aly’s hubby Alexis Denisof, were lookin’ a bit sloppy … they should look to NPH for style and grooming tips, methinks. And while I confess that I am not a regular watcher of HIMYM, I am VERY excited for the 100th ep which will air on Monday Jan 11 because it will be a MUSICAL EPISODE! I will deffo be tuning in, you should too!!

It would seem that Lindsay Lohan has got a new man in her life … but it’s prolly not what you’re thinkin’. Lindsay was snapped making her way out of a man’s home early yesterday morning after she spent the ENTIRE night with him inside … but since that man was Jason Segel, I think it’s safe to assume that the duo were merely hanging out as friends and nothing more. Jason seemed pleased as punch that the paps were outside his home waiting to take pics … Lindsay seemed less enthused about their presence:

As you can see, Jason was carrying the Dracula puppet that was featured in his movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall … perhaps he put on a little puppet show for Lindsay to keep her entertained. L. Lo managed to keep relatively quiet about her night with Mr. Segel … she gave no indication on her official Twitter profile that she was hanging out with the funnyman. Mebbe she just wanted to keep their pj party private or mebbe she was embarrassed … but whatever the case may be, she apparently was in no mood to be braggin’ about her night. These two deffo make an odd couple … it’ll be interesting to see if they decide to spend any more time together in the future.

Neil Patrick Harris, who has been named as one of Out magazine’s Out 100 folks for 2009, is featured in the pages of the new issue of Playboy magazine alongside his How I Met Your Mother co-stars Josh Radnor and Jason Segel in celebration of HIMYM’s 100th episode. Here is NPH’s solo (and fully-clothed) Playboy photo along with some excerpts from their Playboy interview:

Neil, Josh Radnor, and Jason Segel suited up in Hickey Freeman, Paul Smith, Hugo Boss, Isaia and more for the December issue of Playboy (on newsstands now!!). Be still my heart! Here’s a Playboy I may need to seek out. The 4-page pictorial is in celebration of How I Met Your Mother’s 100th episode and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate. Ok… now I just sound creepy. But, seriously, three of my favorite comedy guys getting all dressed up for a photo-shoot? I do approve. And the guys have got some fashion advice to share as well, including these tidbits…

Josh Radnor: “I have fond memories of parachute pants!”

LOL. I don’t know that this is enough to get me to rush out and buy the new issue of Playboy magazine but I can appreciate that these guys prolly gave a great and funny interview and it is prolly deffo worth reading. NPH looks pretty damn good in his suit … but he’s wearing far too much clothing for me to be inspired to purchase a nudie mag ;) After the jump, check out the Playboy photo of NPH with Josh and Jason …

The entire cast of the hit CBS show How I Met Your Mother is featured on the cover of the new issue of TV Guide magazine …

… but even cooler than that, the cast is featured in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly in a fun new photoshoot where they recreate images that reflect the Best that 2008 had to offer. Here are pics of the cast doing the Olympics, the Jonas Brothers and Indiana Jones:

THE OLYMPICS — The men lost a lot of hair to play the U.S. 4×200m relay team; Harris (far right) even cajoled Segel (far left) into shaving his 
armpits. ”The guys sounded like they didn’t think it was going to grow back,” laughs Smulders. ”Dude. Trust me. It grows back. 
 I wish it didn’t. It does. You’re gonna be fine.”

INDIANA JONES — Smulders (left) didn’t see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (she says the key to Cate Blanchett was ”just look like a badass”), while Harris studied Indy hard: ”It’s sort of a quarter-squint. The lips go down, 
 but there’s a hint of a smile. But he’s not amused, because he’s always got other things in mind.”

OMG! Is this not the most brilliant thing you’ve ever seen? Not only is it an amazing idea but the recreations are freakin’ hilarious!! After the jump, check out the HIMYM cast doing the Sex and the City Movie and the Vice Presidential debate …

US Weekly has our first look at the upcoming cameo that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, collectively known as Speidi, will be making on an episode of the hit CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. The ep, slated to air on January 12, will feature Speidi on the cover of a fictional weekly tabloid magazine called Them before they actually come to life on the show. Here is a pic of HIMYM star Jason Segal (who plays Marshall) with his copy of Them magazine featuring Speidi on the cover:

Usmagazine.com has your first look at newlyweds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. In the episode (airing Jan. 12), the two appear on the cover of a magazine — titled Them Weekly — and eventually come to life. They tease Marshall (Jason Segel) as he desperately searches for a peaceful place to read the magazine while at the office. Their episode also features newly engaged Kendra Wilkinson and Kim Kardashian. Said Kardashian, “I really had a great time and hope this opens up other opportunities for me in the acting world.”

Um … if this cameo ep leads to “other opportunities” for Kim Kardashian to act then I will call for an immediate removal of this show from the television airwaves — period. But I digress … you gotta love that the coverstory headline on this copy of Them magazine reads “Heidi & Spencer: Hey everybody, we’re on How I Met Your Mother”. Talk about your art blending into reality and vice versa. While I sincerely doubt that these cameos will be as well-received as, say, Britney Spears’s cameo appearances on the show earlier this year were you gotta commend HIMYM for keeping their fingers on the pulse of what’s hot. Like it or not, these reality TV stars are all the rage these days … there’s some bit of genius in interjecting some of their appeal into a traditional sitcom. What do y’all think … are y’all looking forward to seeing these folks on How I Met Your Mother?
