Surely you're wondering what "How I Met Your Mother" has up its sleeve for the show's upcoming third season - apparently, late '90s/early '00s pop stars! It's like my senior prom all over again, except with slightly less awkward teen dry humping.The venerable "Entertainment Tonight" reports that Mandy Moore, fresh from the by all accounts laughless "Licensed to Wed" (or as I call it, "Licensed Towed") will be showing up in at least one episode as a "rebound" gal for Ted, who of course pulled the inevitable plug in his relationship with Robin (whose character is a former Canadian pop star. wild!) on the second season finale. The article quotes EP Carter Bays describing Moore's role as "the tattooed, vodka-swilling trainwreck that Mandy Moore thankfully never turned into." Who could he possibly be referring to?
And according to the ever-effervescent Michael Ausiello, none other than Enrique Iglesias himself will show up starting up with the show's Sept. 24 season premiere, in two episodes as Robin's latest love interest. Whoa, is it smoldering in here or is it just that juicy piece of casting news? It comes at a weird time for me personally, as I hadn't thought about Enrique Iglesias in years (probably in 2003 when he was pretty good in a tiny role in "Once Upon A Time In Mexico") before he was on the local news a couple days ago for some reason (not this reason, sadly "How I Met Your Mother" casting news doesn't make the local news like it used to), and now, here I am, not only thinking about him, but writing about him! No word on if he'll let the rhythm take him over or want to live this night forever.
