LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears already has a Grammy under her belt, but is she about to add an Emmy to her mantle?

The pop star-turned-sitcom guest star doesn’t have the golden statue in her hands just yet, but she’s one step closer.

Spears has been included on the official ballot as a possible nominee to receive an Emmy Award for her two guest appearances on CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother,” OK! magazine reports.

The list of actresses will be whittled to a short list of final nominees before the Emmy Awards ceremony in September.
