Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenaningans

Acting Heavies Weigh In on Brit’s Sitcom Appearance: Britney made her return to scripted television last night on “How I Met Your Mother.” But what did the professionals think of Brit’s stint as an over-the-top receptionist? “She did pretty good, there was a sweetness to her, a vulnerability,” Charna Halpern, artistic director of Chicago’s Improv Olympic Comedy Club, told Us Magazine. “She looked beautiful and had screen presence, even when she was behind the desk and they made her look kind of homely, she was adorable.” Aliza Shane, senior director of NYC’s Looking Glass Theater agreed, telling Us Brit’s role was, “over the top, and she certainly went for it. Clearly, she likes being on camera, no one can argue that!” Check out Brit in action HERE!

‘No More’ From Montag: Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your radio, Heidi Montag is back! — we kid… kinda. Despite universal pans from fans and critics on her first single, Heidi is back with a new single, “No More.” People has the track if you want to take a listen to “More” Montag. Luckily, Spencer Pratt has yet to show up on any of Heidi’s songs, but the year is young, and would anyone really be surprise if ended up trying to rap? Someone needs to tale K-Fed’s place!

Bling By Nic: Nicole Richie is a mom, reality star and now a maker of the bling! The former “Simple Life” star is releasing a line of costume jewelry, People reports. “It’s all costume jewelry. I like to play with jewelry and mix and match,” she told the mag. Nic’s bling line is being released by Mouawad, the same company who released Heidi Klum’s line of jewelry. And this new endeavor is not getting in the way of motherhood for Nic, who told the mag, “everyone’s been really mellow and able to work around my schedule. If I need to go feed the baby, I do it.” No word if she’ll be releasing any baby bling for Harlow to model.

Switchblade Shia: Shia LeBeouf, who has already had multiple minor run-ins with the law is now wielding a knife with a scary precision. In a video posted on the “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” Web site, Shia shows off his skills with both a sword and a knife. CLICK HERE to check out Shia in action!
