NBC has reportedly offered troubled singer Britney Spears a guest host
or musical guest slot on a upcoming episode of "Saturday Night Live.
Spears had appeared on the show four times between 2000 and 2003. Two
of those appearances were as a guest host, and her last appearance was
as a musical guest on a 2003 episode hosted by Halle Berry.
Producers apparently originally hoped for an appearance before the end
of 2007. But the combination of Spears' legal problems, as well as her
shaky musical performance at the MTV Video Music Awards have made any
substantial appearance before 2008 unlikely.
According to a source at the network, a number of ideas have presented
informally to the singer, ranging from a brief unannounced appearance
during a sketch to a full-blown guest hosting gig.
