Neil is set to host a one-hour fashion special on CBS, Tuesday September 14, 10/9c. The special will focus on year two of Fashion’s Night Out, including “Fashion’s Night Out: The Show”, taking place on September 7, and the Fashion’s Night Out event itself, taking place in New York on September 10th.

Oscar de la Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg, Justin Timberlake, Tory Burch and Anna Wintour will be among the many fashion industry stars featured in FASHION’S NIGHT OUT 2010, a one-hour primetime special that takes viewers behind the scenes of the world’s largest fashion celebration, to be broadcast Tuesday, Sept. 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  The special will be hosted by Emmy Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris, star of the CBS comedy series, “How I Met Your Mother.”

Looking beyond the glamour to the real-life implications at stake, the show will also focus on individuals working in all parts of the industry for whom the vibrancy of the fashion business is a question of economic survival — from Wintour’s initial meetings in Paris with her international editors to discuss plans for this year’s event to interviews with sales managers at the Gap about how Fashion’s Night Out benefits the retail industry.

Looking back at the Emmys, a number of websites/networks interviewed Neil on the red carpet – Ryan Seacrest for E!, Access Hollywood, NBC, Entertainemnt Weekly and TV Guide.

Final point for tonight, something which you might already have noticed – we’ve given the site a redesign!

Once again, Neil was beaten to the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series statue, this time by Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet.

He presented Edie Falco with the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and was acknowledged for his Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series win for Glee at least weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys.

We have started adding pictures from the red carpet, backstage and of Neil on stage to our gallery, and we’ll continue to add them through the night and over the next few days!

When Neil hosted the Emmy Awards last year, John Hodgman was enlisted to introduce the winners up to the stage, using “less than credible” facts. This year’s gimmick is for host Jimmy Fallon to introduce the presenters for some of the awards using messages sent in on Twitter.

For example, Fallon said, he’ll announce the chosen tweet, user name included: “(At)blahblahblah says Jon Hamm is the hottest guy of all time. Here he is, Jon Hamm,” NBC’s “Late Night” host riffed.

To submit a message, visit nbc.com/emmys/imontheemmys and sign into your Twitter account. Be sure to include the #imontheemmys hashtag for your tweet to be considered for use during Sunday’s show. Other celebs you can help to introduce include Neil’s Dr Horrible co-star Nathan Fillion, Glee’s Matthew Morrison, and Sofia Vergara, who plays Neil’s boss in the upcoming Smurfs movie.

The Huffington Post has pictures of the seating arrangements for Sunday, where we can see that Neil’s seat is front row.

It was announced today that Neil, along with fellow winners from last weekend Betty White, Jeff Probst and John Lithgow will be part of the Emmy ceremony on Sunday. According to HitFix, it’s currently “unclear if Harris, White, Probst and Lithgow will be performers or if they’ll serve some other capacity in Sunday’s Jimmy Fallon-hosted telecast, but their involvement was announced on Wednesday morning at the official unrolling of the Emmy red carpet at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater.”

Sorry for the delay, but our gallery has now been updated with pictures from the red carpet, show, press room and Governor’s Ball. More to come as we get them!

There’s video (again, more are expected to materialize over the next few days) from the Press Room, at the LA Times.

In non-Emmy news, there’s a short snippet of an interview with Neil where he talks about the “gypsy” nature of acting, at Hollywood Outbreak.

Congratulations to Neil who took home two awards from last night’s Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards. He won Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Bryan Ryan in Glee and Outstanding Special Class Programs for the 2009 Tony Awards.

At tonight’s Creative Arts Emmys, two of Neil’s categories are expected to be announced. The winner of the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, as well as the category he was belatedly nominated in for his presenting of 2009′s Tony Awards will be revealed at tonight’s ceremony. An edited version of the show will air this Friday on E!.

The Hollywood Reporter talked to Neil in the last few days, and published a nice interview with him yesterday. They talk a little about the twins, Glee, HIMYM and the Emmys, amongst other things.

The Hollywood Reporter: With projects in film, TV and on the stage, you’ve had a very industrious year. How does it feel to double your career Emmy nominations in one fell swoop?
Harris: I have three times as much of a chance to lose, so I’m very excited. It’s been a busy year, but I’m happy to be riding the “Glee” train. In a normal world, I would not be able to do half the things I did this year, but for some reason everything fit in like a weird game of Tetris.

THR: Besides the recent news that you and your partner David Burtka are expecting twins in the fall, what other plans do you have for staying busy? Perhaps a return to “Glee”?
Harris: We just started shooting Season 6 of “Mother,” so my focus is on that well-tailored suit of a role. Barney is on a quest to find his real dad. Which I think may give us some answers as to why Barney is the way he is. As for “Glee,” Ryan Murphy mentioned something at the TCA, but I’ve heard nothing concrete about it. It’s great what “Glee” is able to do each week. It was a really exhausting episode to film, but fun too.

THR: So there’s no truth to the rumors that you may be taking a break from Hollywood?
Harris: No, not at all. It’s a virtual impossibility at the moment. I have two more seasons for sure on “Mother” and a bunch of things pending or already in the can. I love the business and have worked steadily to stand where I am. I have no interest in backing off now.

Neil will be appearing Live on Kevin Pollak’s chat show, today at 3pm PT (which is in around 10 minutes from the time of this post if you’re not sure on your timezones). Alternatively you should be able to download it in the “archives” section of the site tomorrow.
