Britney Spears Gets a People's Choice Nod

Britney Spears' career is officially in comeback mode.

It was announced Monday that the 26-year-old was nominated for a People's Choice Award for her role on How I Met Your Mother.

The category? Favorite scene-stealing star.

She's up against Luke Perry and Robin Williams, both for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

The singer starred as a dorky receptionist named Abby in two episodes of the CBS show earlier this year. On her first appearance in March, she helped the show win its highest ratings ever.

She received thunderous applause when she performed during Madonna's Sticky & Sweet concert show in L.A. Nov. 6.

Her new single, "Womanizer," was No. 1 on the Hot 100 Billboard chart in October - her first tune to top the list since 1999's "...Baby One More Time."

Her next album, Circus, drops on her 27th birthday, Dec. 2.

The 35th Annual People's Choice Awards airs on Jan. 7 on CBS. See a complete list of nominees.
