LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenaningans

See Brit's Clip: Your wait for a peek at Britney's appearance on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" is over. With Brit's first words in the clip being, "Can we have sex and then go shopping?," it's bound to be an interesting episode. Check out the Brit sitcom clip HERE!

Will & Jada Not Scientologists: Despite reports claiming Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith had joined the Church of Scientology, the actor is telling Rush & Molloy of New York's Daily News these reports are false. "You don't have to be Jewish to be a friend of Steven Spielberg. You don't have to be a Muslim to be a friend of Muhammad Ali. And you don't have to be a Scientologist to be a friend of Tom Cruise," Smith told Rush & Molloy . "I am a Christian. I am a student of all religions. And I respect all people and all paths."

Mariah On Her Ditz Status: Mariah Carey is coming clean about people's perception of her. "I understand that people think I'm a ditzy moron," she told Allure magazine. But she wants the world to know there's more going on with Mimi. "I'm Mary Poppins: I'm what the button-up girls are supposed to be," she added. And as for a counterpart to Mimi Poppins? Mariah says guys have some stiff competition when it comes to dating her. "What's weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It's hard for a partner to compete – just imagine." We're guessing dinner and a movie just won't cut it with Mimi.

'Punky Brewster' Actress Gives Birth To Second Child: Soleil Moon Frye and husband Jason Goldberg had their second child, People reports. Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg, a girl, was born Monday in Los Angeles, weighing in at 8 lbs., 6 oz. "Soleil had a wonderful experience, and both she and the baby are doing great," a rep for Soleil told the mag. The couple also has a two-year-old, Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg. No word if little Jagger will be wearing mismatched shoes.

Just Miley Please: Miley, Hannah, Destiny-- we're dizzy trying to keep Miley Cyrus' names straight. Luckily the Disney star, born Destiny Hope Cyrus, is legally changing her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, according to documents obtained by Access Hollywood. The petition states that Cyrus wants to "make her commonly used name the same as her legal name." No word if the young star first considered changing her name to Ms. Tween Gazillionaire Cyrus, but we think it has a nice ring to it.
