Neil and David performed at Trevor Live! last night, we’ve added pictures to the gallery and red carpet videos have started appearing online. Watch them talk to the Trevor Project red carpet interviewers here.

While they were in New York last week, Neil and David recorded an episode of The Chew with chef Mario Batali. Airdate is yet to be officially confirmed but is expected to be early January. The Chew airs weekdays at 1et/12pt/c on ABC.

Neil is also scheduled to make his annual appearance narrating the Candlelight Processional at Walt Disney World next week, December 10th-12th.

During the holidays, Epcot theme park is transformed into an international celebration of Yuletide traditions filled with festive decorations and live entertainment. From Holidays Around The World to Candlelight Processional, delight in the sights and sounds of the season.

Candlelight Processional is a special holiday event held nightly at the America Gardens Theatre in Epcot theme park as part of Holidays Around The World. The event retells the stirring story of Christmas with a special celebrity narrator † accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and a mass choir.

Neil will be attending the 2011 People’s Choice Awards tonight, and PopSugar are going to be broadcasting live from the red carpet, and backstage during the show – starting from 4.30pm PT/7.30pm ET!

You may have seen Neil’s recent Tweet, in which he commented that he’d seen a lot of negative reactions to his opening number for the Oscars. While we don’t really think he’ll ever see this, we wanted to put together a bunch of the best reviews, for your reading pleasure. If you know of a review that we missed, please get in touch and we’ll add it to the page!

“NPH opened the show with a rousing, Broadway-style musical number. He was on fire, a vibrant presence on that stage and — as we soon learned — an impossible act to follow for co-hosts Baldwin and Martin.” ~ MTV

“An outstanding song-and-dance number from Neil Patrick Harris trumped the ho-hum opening monologue of hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.” ~ LA Times

There were understandably a lot, so we’ve given them a page of their own. You can read the rest here!

Neil presented Joss Whedon with the Vanguard Award for technology and new media at last night’s 21st Annual Producers Guild of America Awards.

Neil Patrick Harris presented the Vanguard Award for technology and new media to writer-director-producer Joss Whedon, calling him “perhaps the only pioneer in the field of sing-along blogs,” a reference to “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along blog,” on which they collaborated.

“Joss Whedon doesn’t just build stories, he builds entire universes,” Harris said, admitting that he had just begun to work on Internet projects. Whedon likened the award to Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize — “it’s (for) what you’re going to do.”

The Hollywood Reporter has an article on the night, and we’ve updated the gallery with some pictures.

If you hadn’t already heard, at last night’s 67th Annual Golden Globes ceremony, Neil lost the award for Best Supporting Actor to Dexter’s John Lithgow. Neil and John were nominated alongside Lost’s Michael Emerson, Jeremy Piven from Entourage and William Hurt for Damages in a difficult category which combined drama and comedy.

We’ve been updating the gallery all night with pictures from the red carpet, the show itself, the press room and the Fox afterparty which Neil and David attended.

Neil talked to Ryan Seacrest for E! on the red carpet, they discussed American Idol, Neil directing tonight’s episode of HIMYM, and the Hollywood choice of umbrellas! He also catches up with TV Guide Network’s Carrie Ann Inaba, and the Insider talks to a number of stars – skip to 2:07 of this video to see Neil talk to Niecy Nash.

Before the ceremony, Neil said that he couldn’t wait to see host Ricky Gervais “do his thing. He was such a great choice to host that show. It’s a rough crowd, everyone’s at big tables talking to each other the whole night and drinking. It’s pretty raucous. I think they chose the perfect guy to host it. He’ll be masterful in his lion tamer’s skills.” He also commented that “Ricky would probably tease me about my hosting duties on other awards shows. He’s absolutely hilarious. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to do.”

Important news first – as you may have seen on our Twitter, or various other places around the web, Neil has joined the Tweeting masses. He’s @ActuallyNPH, and his account has been verified by Felicia Day, CBS, and is now an officially verified account. He’s been on Twitter for less than 12 hours, and already has over 40,000 followers!

On to other news, Neil has been added to the list of presenters for the CNN Heroes event. He will join Carrie Underwood, Leona Lewis, Nicole Kidman and many others for the “Heroes” event, which will be hosted by Anderson Cooper and broadcast on Thanksgiving night (November26th). Thanks to Sarah for the tip!

Finally, the photoshoot that Neil, Josh and Jason were doing for Playboy will be in the US December edition. You can see a couple of the pictures on this blog.

This year’s Trevor Project’s Cracked X-Mas event will be honouring Neil as their 2009 Trevor Life Award Honoree. Previous Life Award Honorees include Sigourney Weaver and Ellen DeGeneres. The event will be hosted by Jeff Probst and takes place on Sunday December 6th at Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles. Tickets are currently on sale at $35, $50 and $100, although the prices increase after today (Nov 1st). Visit their website to purchase tickets.

The Trevor Project is a non-profit endeavor established to promote acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and to aid in crisis and suicide prevention among that group.

In a slight amendment to our last post, Bravo’s “A-List” awards will indeed air on Wednesday, April 15th at 10/9c, but the actual ceremony takes place on Sunday April 5th at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. It’s worth noting that this is the day after “The Expert at the Card Table”‘s three night run in London reaches its end, so it probably means that Neil won’t be over in London for those shows.

Bravo have issued a press release announcing presenters and performers for its second annual A-List awards.

“The second annual “A-List Awards” includes appearances by Gwen Stefani, Neil Patrick Harris, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Procter, Chelsea Handler, Tori Spelling, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, Laurel Holloman, Tyson Beckford, Kate Flannery, Bruce Vilanch, Fred Willard, Mark Indelicato, Jose Andres and Cat Cora, and a special musical performance by Rafael Saadiq. Additional presenters will be unveiled in the weeks to come. The second annual “A-List Awards,” celebrate the best in food, fashion, beauty, design and pop culture and honor those who have made an unforgettable mark in the arts and showcase some of the leading creative minds in today’s society.”

You can read the rest of the press release here.The A-List Awards take place on Wednesday, April 15 and will air on Bravo at 10/9c.

Also, CBS Watch “asked some of prime time’s biggest stars to share their favourite vacation spots”. You can read Neil and Cobie’s responses here.

The next episode of HIMYM (airing on February 2nd) has had yet another title change! While it was originally known as “Special Skills”, the most recent CBS press release named it “Barney Stinson: That Guy’s Awesome”. Now the press release has been updated with a note making editors aware of the title change, and it’s now called “The Possimpible”.

The Magic Castle website has been update with a few more details on Neil’s hosting job at this year’s Academy of Magical Arts Awards on March 8th.

On the subject of website updates, the Ojai site has been updated with some more celebrity names for next Saturday’s benefit. Neil will be joined in the performance by David Burtka, Dick Van Dyke, Zachary Quinto, Jane Leeves and many more. The show will be followed by a dinner and auction fundraiser. Neil is expected to be providing Magic Castle passes for auction – last year the passes went for almost $4,000 for a package which included Neil hosting for a dinner party of 8 at the Castle. The $65 tickets to “Where’s The Money? Show Me The Money!!” are now sold out, but $85 preferred seats and $200 tickets to both the reading and the dinner are still available.

Neil and David attended the ART LA 2009 Museum Of Contemporary Art Benefit opening night reception on Thursday, and we’ve added a stack of photos to the gallery. While at the exhibition Neil told eonline that he thinks Barney’s next conquest would be former Golden Girl Betty White!
