As long as the day is full of time....

It's almost hard to believe that “How I Met Your Mother” was once considered a bubble show. For the first several seasons, fans waited with anticipation and apprehension for news of a renewal. But co-creator and executive producer Carter Bays was never too worried.

“It just felt like it's a good show. It's a good story,” Bays told Show Tracker. “You just have to have the faith that when you tell a good story, people will want to listen to it.”

They're certainly listening now. Currently in its fifth season, “Mother” is getting more press than ever thanks to classic, lexicon-entering plots like Slapsgiving and Robin Sparkles, a slew of high-profile guest stars (thanks for the ratings bump, Britney Spears) and all-around superstar Neil Patrick Harris, who plays womanizing cad Barney Stinson. This past year, the show was recognized by the Emmy Awards with its first nomination for outstanding comedy series. Fans dissect clues relating to the show's central mystery – who is the mother? – with a level of scrutiny and screen-capturing that is comparable to devotees of “Lost.” And in January, the show will air its 100th episode, which features guest stars Rachel Bilson, Tim Gunn and Stacy Keibler, as well as a musical number starring the entire regular cast.

“It was a very exciting week,” Bays said about filming the episode last month. “Any chance we get to have a little celebration, we pounce on it because it's kind of a ridiculous love-fest over here.”

One love-fest that did not last was the pairing of commitment-phobes Barney and Robin (Cobie Smulders). Recently, I spoke with Bays about what was behind the breakup, why Ted has gotten no love this season and what's ahead for the best friends since “Friends.”

“There's going to be some big shake-ups in the second half of the season between the characters,” Bays promised.

Glee star Matthew Morrison suits up in a tuxedo by Burberry and shoes by Aldo at the 32nd Kennedy Center Honors event in Washington, D.C. on Sunday (December 6).
The 31-year-old actor took part in a salute to legend Mel Brooks, who co-created the film and musical Young Frankenstein as well as other classic films and plays.
“I like crossing the line every now and then, and [Mel] is kind of the master of crossing that line, being a little offensive at times,” Matt said. “The man is a living legend.”
During the event, Matt also sang “Springtime for Hitler,” a song from the classic musical The Producers!
Others honored at the evening’s celebration include Bruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro, musician Dave Brubeck and opera singer Grace Bumbry.
If you can’t get enough of Matthew, Glee’s fall finale airs this Wednesday at 9/8c on FOX!

Possible stalkers, take heed -- Ryan Sheckler's teenage brother will open up a can of whoop ass if you get too close to his star bro.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Shane Sheckler got into an altercation with a middle-aged guy who kept showing up at the family home. We're told the guy was turned away once by Ryan's mom, but showed up again late Saturday night.

The middle Sheckler bro returned home at around 11:00 PM and encountered the alleged intruder and the two of them got into it. By the time cops arrived, we're told they found the alleged intruder in the street nursing wounds from the altercation.

The alleged intruder was taken to the hospital. He has not been charged yet -- but we're told he probably will be once he leaves the hospital.

He stated: "I truly believe he will return to us one day when he is good and rested with a great story to tell in his off the wall Cheng sense of humour. Chi is one tuff 'MF' and if anyone can make it through this, it's gonna be him."

In a video interview with NME.COM back in September, Moreno said he was still hopeful that Cheng will play with the band again.

Hulk Hogan is tying the knot again.
The wrestler, 56, and his girlfriend of nearly two years, Jennifer McDaniel, are engaged, a source close to the couple confirms to Usmagazine.com.
New York's Daily News also reported that the two are getting married. "He is engaged and very happy," a source told the paper.
It is happy news for Hogan (nee Terry Bollea), who had been engaged in a bitter divorce battle with his ex-wife, Linda, for nearly two years. Linda, who wed Hulk in 1983, filed for divorce in November 2007.
A newspaper reporter was the first person to inform him about the split. "Holy smokes," he said upon hearing the news. "Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."
The split grew increasingly ugly a short time later when Linda publicly began dating Charlie Hill who was one of their daughter Brooke's former classmates.
Hogan even complained to Rolling Stone about Linda leaving him for "some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior."
At one point in their split, Linda even accused Hulk of stalking her.
But in July, they settled their divorce. Terms of the agreement were not made public.
"The war is over," Linda told The Tampa Tribune. She even kissed her ex on the cheek in the courtroom. "I still love him. He's the father of my children."

Billy Corgan has released the first song from his ambitious 44-song Smashing Pumpkins release. As he explained previously, the album will be titled Teargarden by Kaleidyscope and is expected to feature 44 songs with each song made available for free, to anyone anywhere.

The band's model for the record is to sell highly limited edition EPs (of four songs each times 11). Corgan promises that the EPs will be more like mini-box sets rather than your normal CD single. When the entire album is finished, it will be compiled into a deluxe box set which will also be made available for sale.

Jennifer Hudson's casting as the wife of Nelson Mandela has reportedly upset South African actors.

Agence France Presse reports that the Creative Workers' Union of South Africa believes that casting the American singer and actress as Winnie Mandela in upcoming biopic Winnie undermines the development of a film industry in the country.

"It can't happen that we want to develop our own Hollywood and yet bring in imports," the union's president Mabutho Sithole said.

The group now plans to advocate for a meeting with the departments of arts and culture, the trade industry and home affairs.

"This decision must be reversed, it must be stopped now. If the matter doesn't come up for discussion, we will push for a moratorium to be placed on the film being cast in South Africa. We are being undermined, there is no respect at all," union secretary general Oupa Lebogo added.

The criticism precedes the opening of Clint Eastwood's Invictus, another film centred on Nelson Mandela's role in South Africa's Rugby World Cup victory in 1995.
