Neil Patrick Harris the star of the TV series, and will be getting some face time with Lopez on this episode.

CBS announced Wednesday that Jennifer Lopez will guest star in a March episode:  “We’re looking forward to a week of revealing outfits and sexy dance moves the likes of which this show hasn’t seen since Regis Philbin guest starred,” said series executive producer and co-creator Carter Bays.

Lopez is cast as Anita Appleby, an outspoken self-help guru who makes it her mission to break Barney (Harris) of his weenie womanizing ways.

Lopez is also rumored to be considered for white-hot TV series, FOX’s Glee, which is currently on an awards bender, scooping up a Golden Globe and SAG award recently.
