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.
