Britney Spears in Talks to Produce, Star in New TV Show

Britney Spears is reportedly in talks to produce and star in a new TV show.

The 'Toxic' star has been meeting with TV executives to discuss possible projects following her recent successful appearances on hit US TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

A source close to the star said, "Britney met Roy Bank, the president of Merv Griffin Entertainment, on Wednesday. It was a serious meeting and they spoke about various program ideas - including a new music show."

The 'Piece Of Me' hitmaker, 26, is attempting to get her career back on track following a difficult few months, which included her shaving her head and being hospitalized for mental illness.

She received rave reviews for her performance as a ditsy receptionist in the sitcom, and has also reportedly been approached to star as Sandy in a new production of musical 'Grease' on Broadway.
