Neil opens Smith Center

By Rach | Published Sun Mar-11-12 -

Neil hosted the black tie gala to celebrate the opening of the Smith Center in Las Vegas last night. We’ve added photos to the gallery.

“Making a new performing arts center rise from the desert is more complicated than a Wynn whim,” joked host Neil Patrick Harris early in a performance being filmed for future PBS broadcast.

Harris also had a joke to illustrate how the very name suggests a building that can be for everyone. “Smith just happens to be the name that appears on 68 percent of the registries in Las Vegas hotels.”

Full review of the event at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and further details on that PBS broadcast when we get them.

It has been announced (and confirmed by Neil) that Neil will be participating in some form in the new Nerdist channel that Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) is launching on YouTube. Read more about that on TubeFilter.

Neil & David attend Muppets premiere + LA Gay & Lesbian Center Gala

By Rach | Published Sun Nov-13-11 -

Yesterday Neil and David attended both the Muppets movie premiere and the LA Gay and Lesbian Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala and Auction. We’ve added photos from both events to our gallery.

Neil was interviewed by HollywoodJunket and FilmFracture at the Muppets premiere.

Then in the evening, Neil and David were honoured with the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award at the “40 Years of Family” themed event for the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. Greg in Hollywood has a nice rundown of the event & Neil and David’s speech here.

“We are so honored to be here on the 40th anniversary of this incredible and important institution,” Harris said before slipping into humor and adding: “It’s hard to believe that it’s been 40 years since The Center first invented gays and lesbians. And we are so happy that they did.”

David, taking on the straight man role if you will, added: “More to the point, we are extraordinarily grateful that we are able to stand here today as a same-sex couple with children and not feel like we are some kind of freak show or some kind of government experiment gone awry.”

Neil then paid tribute to other famous gay parents before them like Dan Savage and Cynthia Nixon, BD Wong, Cat Kora. Ricky Martin, Sara Gilbert, Clay Aiken, Rosie O’Donnell, among others who he described as “courageous people who stood tall long before it became acceptable to do so.”

“The fact is, David and I don’t even consider ourselves true activists. There’s a lot of other people who do that heavy lifting. Sometimes we choose to raise our voices so that the world can hear us but other times we just, frankly, we just want to curl up at home and be a family together.”

Neil & David to be honored by LA Gay & Lesbian Center

By Rach | Published Thu Sep-22-11 -

Neil and David will be honored at L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala & Auction. The event will take place on Saturday November 12th at the Westin Bonaventure in LA. The event’s theme is “40 Years of Family” and David told eonline how honored they are. The official press release is here.

Harris and Burtka are steadfast supporters of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) organizations, including the Center. They’ve given generously to help LifeWorks, the Center’s youth development and mentoring program, thrive.

The two have been out publicly for years, and as the proud fathers of twins they’re the perfect pair to join the Center in celebrating “40 Years of Family” at the gala.

“We’re honored to be a part of this important celebration for the Center, which offers so many important services to LGBT youth and LGBT-parented families like ours,” Harris says. “The gala raises thousands of dollars to support services like meals and housing for homeless youth, a charter school for young people bullied and harassed in traditional schools, mentoring services and much more.”

For full details and ticket information, visit anniversarygala.org.

In other news, there’s another interview with Neil on getting his Walk of Fame star, thanks to Hollywood Dailies; Neil will be appearing on The Price Is Right during Celebrity Week to celebrate the show’s 40th year – Celebrity Week kicks off on January 2nd 2012; Variety has a nice profile article on Neil’s coming out experience, including quotes from Neil’s manager Booh Schut, HIMYM Director Pam Fryman, Doogie Howser creator Steven Bochco and Neil himself.

San Diego Comic-Con 2011

By Hilary | Published Mon Apr-18-11 -

There are now a little over three months until San Diego Comic Con and both Rach and I will be attending this year.

It’s too soon to know which TV shows and films will be represented at the convention however previous NPH projects have had a presence at the event – after all, this is a man who has voiced Peter Parker/Spider-Man (plus the Amazing Spider-Man in the recent video game, Nightwing and Barry Allen/The Flash. Really now, surely Joss Whedon must be able to find a space for him in The Avengers? This year we have a new Harold & Kumar movie to look forward (A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas) and certainly the stars of that franchise are no strangers to Comic Con.

And of course let’s not forget The Smurfs! If they can invade New York, is San Diego any safer?

One thing’s for certain: thanks to Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Neil is pretty much destined to always have a place in con-goers hearts. If we hear about any specific events planned for this year’s convention we’ll be sure to let you know and hopefully we’ll also be in a position to report back on these.
