NBC Offers Britney To Host SNL!

NBC has reportedly offered troubled singer Britney Spears a guest host or musical guest slot on a upcoming episode of "Saturday Night Live.

Spears had appeared on the show four times between 2000 and 2003. Two of those appearances were as a guest host, and her last appearance was as a musical guest on a 2003 episode hosted by Halle Berry.

Producers apparently originally hoped for an appearance before the end of 2007. But the combination of Spears' legal problems, as well as her shaky musical performance at the MTV Video Music Awards have made any substantial appearance before 2008 unlikely.

According to a source at the network, a number of ideas have presented informally to the singer, ranging from a brief unannounced appearance during a sketch to a full-blown guest hosting gig.
