Britney Spears' critically-acclaimed TV appearance in How I Met Your Mother has landed her the chance to hit the West End stage in London. The troubled singer has been offered the lead role in a forthcoming London production of Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire.

A show insider tells Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "She has poise, timing and a real flair. We'd wanted her for Blanche because even though she's technically too young to play her, who else could embody this fallen southern belle so well? She's living out the story, so to harness that on stage would be amazing for an audience to see - and cathartic for Britney too."

Spears isn't the only new mom who is being considered for the Blanche DuBois role; Halle Berry is also among the front-runners to land the role, according to reports.
