Well, she won't be the mother. That much we know.
But Arianna Huffington - the professional blogger who created TheHuffingtonPost.com - will guest star on the May 10 episode of How I Met Your Mother.
Playing herself, Huffington will show up at a New York Party attended by Ted, Barney and Marshall. She follows in the hotter recent footsteps of Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Lopez.

0 Comments Jennifer Lopez was the guest star last night on How I Met Your Mother and we must say we loved every second of her on the show!
First, we have to give props to the writers for the witty title of her self-help book, 'Of Course You're Still Single, Take a Look at Yourself, You Dumb Slut.' If there ever was a book out there with that title we know plenty women friends that would pick it up and at least skim through it. And the fact that you should wait 17 dates before sealing the deal? Genius and almost close to impossible these days.
Second, it is interesting that the producers would have two huge stars guest star on an episode back to back - but Jennifer definitely brought it this week. She was all that and more which made the ending with Barney jumping into the Hudson that much more plausible.
"Of Course" had us laughing out loud plenty of times, especially the Bang Bang song and dance that everyone got into. We have to give it up to Marshall because that song was really catchy (and yes, we will use it on our friends).
But, primarily, this episode tugged at our heartstrings for what could have been - for Barney and Robin.
It was so sad to see in the flashbacks Robin hurting over all of Barney's womanizing antics - especially her eating the chicken wings alone in the kitchen on Superbowl Sunday. We felt it was a bit unreal for things to go back to normal so quickly for them when they broke up; so it made their relationship that much more real in our eyes.
We liked seeing Barney's softer side and how much he truly cares for Robin. Of course he gave up his super date for Robin and Don, but who wasn't hoping and wishing Don was Barney?
This episode definitely had us wanting more for Barney and Robin and not-so-secretly hoping they will get back together. We leave you with a couple of our favorite How I Met Your Mother quotes after the jump!
Fresh off her successful hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, Jennifer Lopez guest stars on the March 8 episode of How I Met Your Mother.
We've already shown you one photo of the singer/actress portraying self-help guru Anita on the installment titled "Of Course."
But if one is good, three more is even better, right? Below, we've posted a trio of photos from the episode, all of which feature J. Lo as an expert that tries to help Robin deal with her anger toward Barney:

After a rather long break, How I Met Your Mother is back!
Carrie Underwood guest stared as Tiffany - a girl that has Ted on the hook. We have been in love with Carrie all the way back to her Idol days, but we didn't really think she did that great of a job last night. Her role seemed rather rigid and non comedic. Even her sultry glances at Ted seemed artificial to us.
Henrietta on the other hand, played the hookee quite well. How awesome was it that she made Ted an ice sculpture?
"Hooked" really showed a part of the dating world that gets overlooked. As much as it pains us to admit it, being the hookee has happened to the best of us. The hard part is actually admitting that you are indeed on a hook.
Off topic, where do you get a tea cup pig? And do they really stay that small forever? Yes, this is the ultimate bait and any single guys out there might do some investigation on finding where you get one because I am not sure how any girl would turn down seeing that! He was super cute!
Probably the best part of last night's episode was having Barney go over the history of hot girl professions. And one must agree with his time line - back in the day, a stewardess was the hottest job a woman could have (have you not scene Catch Me if You Can?) and today a pharmaceutical sales rep is arguably the best career path for any (smart) hot lady (I say that as a lady and having a couple friends that are in the business). Don't get me wrong, it is not always the case, but it was most fun to watch Barney play out the stereotypical jobs for good looking women.
Watching everyone else tell their stories about being a hookee and hooker was fun, but not really that funny. We thought Scooter was more creepy than cute and what is the deal with Marshall always reverting back in time?
We didn't get any closer to finding out about the mythical mother and we feel it will be this way for a while. Overall, we thought the episode held more truth than comedic one liners, but after the jump we leave you with a few How I Met Your Mother quotes that did have us laughing:
With just six words, How I Met Your Mother executive producer Cater Bays has piqued the curiosity of fans around the country.
Speaking to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly, Bays hyped “an attempted reconciliation between two exes” later this season.
That's all we know for now, but let the guessing games begin: Will we see Robin and Barney rekindle their brief romance? Or is the producer teasing a reunion between Ted and Robin? Ted and Stella?
The possibilities are as endless as the laughs that will surely ensure when find out this answer.
First, Carrie Underwood. Then, Jennifer Lopez.
The former singer will guest star on the March 1 episode of How I Met Your Mother. Following her appearance as a woman that jerks Ted around, Lopez will show up on the sitcom.
She'll play Anita, a self-help author that tries to seduce Barney. Check out the first photo of J. Lo on HIMYM below:
Tweeted Neil Patrick Harris:
“[She] was really great. Hot, cool, and funny. And well prepared! She gave me a few pointers.”
She can sing and she can look beautiful... but can Carrie Underwood act?
How I Met Your Mother viewers will be able to answer this question in a couple weeks, as the American Idol champion guest stars on "Hooked," the sitcom's next new episode. It airs on March 1.
Underwood will portray Tiffany, a woman suspected of stringing Ted along. Get an early look at the Grammy Award winner in a few How I Met Your Mother scenes below:
How I Met Your Mother was able to take two of the most popular events in February and put both into one episode.
"Rabbit or Duck" had us laughing out loud throughout all of Barney's crazy antics. His quest to land the perfect ten was very ridiculous and totally a pre-relationship Stinson move.
Having Barney hold up a sign during the Superbowl was genius. My question is not what woman would call a guy she saw on TV - but, what woman wouldn't? Even if it's just to see if it was real.
We have to wonder if Barney is just trying to catch up on all the months he wasted away while dating Robin or if this is rebound gone wild? Either way, watching him literally go nuts after each call was hilarious.
It almost felt like we were tuning into an adult version of our beloved childhood cartoons - having Don's face morph into rabbit then a duck was hilarious.
We must agree with the group - Ducks rule. And Don is most definitely a duck. He doesn't wear pants and his name is Donald - CMon! What more needs to be said?
In TV Fanatic's review of "The Perfect Week," we broke down Barney's pursuit of perfection, which he ultimately achieved with the help of his friends (and Jim Nantz).
Below, our staff further analyzes various topics from last night's episode of the CBS comedy in our weekly How I Met Your Mother Round Table discussion ...
1. What was your favorite How I Met Your Mother quote from last night?
L.J. Gibbs: Barney deserved self-congratulation after this one: "That woman nursing a White Russian is about to chase it with a White American. UP TOP!"
The Barnacle: I'm not convinced there was a bad quote during the exchange of Barney and his imaginary Jim Nantz, but I'm gonna have to give it up for guest star Nantz for his line regarding Barney scoring over 200 women and not a single fatty. Impressive indeed.
Mrs. Northman: Barney: "That woman nursing a White Russian is about to chase it with a White American!" Barney has the best one liners ever!
2. More disgusting: Sharing bodily fluids with seven people in as many days, or sharing the same toothbrush with four people over at least as many years?
L.J. Gibbs: Definitely the toothbrush. Ted was basically making out with Marshall for a few years, if you want to look at it that way. Sorry for the imagery.
The Barnacle: I'm going to make the bold assumption that Barney used a condom and therefore go with unprotected sharing of toothbrushes. That and beer pong are the main cause of herpes.
Mrs. Northman: That's a toughie! I think they are both equally disgusting. BUT, a toothbrush by far beats Barney's slutty week. Hopefully he just used a condom.
Welcome back, How I Met Your Mother, oh how we missed you!
On "The Perfect Week," we once again realized why we love single Barney so much. I am not a huge sports fanatic, but it was pretty awesome to have a Yankee make a cameo on HIMYM. And not just any Yankee, but Nick Swisher. He is super delicious.
The play by play between Barney and Jim Nantz was fantastic. Especially when Nantz got up and kicked the chair due to Lily saying jinx multiple times.There is one thing I do know, when it comes to sports fans alike are all rather superstitious.
The interaction between Nantz and Barney really had me rooting for Barney to land the seven girls - and that is a feat because normally I would just be disgusted by that kind of whorish actions.
We got to give it up also for the gang's sub story-lines. Who on earth shares a toothbrush? I have to admit, in dire circumstances I have had to borrow one, but making in a routine thing? That is just gross. Good job adding humor to it by having the whole gang use just one.
