Britney Spears to guest star on 'Will & Grace'

If you're not familiar with the term 'jump the shark,' it means the point at which you know everything is downhill from there. It comes from the show 'Happy Days' when, as it was winding down, the writers had Fonzie jumping a shark on waterskis.

It looks like the writers for 'Will & Grace' have run out of decent ideas for the show, so they're going to bring in Britney Spears for a guest appearance as a stunt to boost their ratings in their final season. You always know that a show is on its final legs when they start bringing in the celebrities for guest appearances, and 'Will & Grace' is no exception.

After two failed outings as an actress, how will Britney Spears do? My guess is that it will be only slightly better than Kevin Freeloader's attempt at a singing career...
