Pop star Britney Spears will give her first public performance since giving birth last fall

Entertainment News Article | Reuters.com: "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Britney Spears will give her first public performance since giving birth last fall when she appears in an upcoming episode of the NBC sitcom 'Will & Grace.'

Rather than singing or playing herself, Spears, 24, will take a stab at comedy acting, portraying a Christian conservative talk show host in a guest appearance on the gay-themed series, NBC said on Wednesday.

She will share most of her scenes with the flamboyant 'Will & Grace' character Jack, played by Emmy winner Sean Hayes, an NBC spokesman said.

The episode, marking Spears' first gig as an entertainer since giving birth to a son in September, will be taped February 15 and air on April 13. Her last real experience as an actress came in the 2002 teen road film 'Crossroads.'"
