After successfully hosting last year’s Academy of Magical Arts Awards, Neil will again be taking on hosting duties for the 42nd Annual AMAs, taking place on April 11th at the Avalon Theatre, Hollywood.
The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. & The Magic Castle present the The 42nd Annual Awards of The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. A highly anticipated entertainment tradition, The Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. 42nd Annual Awards Show celebrates the lavish world of mystery and illusion by gathering the top magicians from all over the world for one star-studded spectacular night.

The night will include performances by Yo Kato, Ed Alonzo, John Calvert, Andrew Goldenhersh, Armando Lucero, Jeff Hobson, The Great Tomsoni & Co. and more!

In other news, some further casting details have been released for the Smurfs movie. Glee star Jayma Mays has been cast as Neil’s pregnant wife in the live-action/CGI hybrid. This is being hailed by some as a “Glee reunion”, but don’t forget they’ve worked together before, when she played “Coat Check Girl” in season one of HIMYM.
The NY Post has a photo of Neil on the Glee set (spoilers only for his outfit), and the Beastly camp have released a couple of new photos from the movie, one of which contains Neil and can be seen at Entertainment Weekly.

I honestly don’t think that that is Neil’s Glee outfit; the pictures were taken at the parking lot, so it’s just his regular clothings.
But yay for Jayma Mays! And Hank Azaria… what a great cast.

That was what I assumed the first time I saw it, but then I thought that the fact that his and Matt’s outfits are quite similar in style might have been less coincidence and more to do with a particular spoiler I’d read about something they both have to do in the episode, so I figured better warn it as possible spoilers than say it’s just Neil in the parking lot and have it turn out to be the other way around!

Ah, I understand that. But he’s not wearing make-up and his hair isn’t done, so he consequently hasn’t been to make-up and fitting yet. Unless Glee has a limited budget and he had to bring his own clothes! But, I might be wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised, if he was wearing something similar for the show, though.

Ha, Glee spent so much getting Neil to appear that they couldn’t afford to clothe him too – that would be hilarious!
I think it’s more likely that you’re right, but better to be safe than sorry! I might amend the post to be clearer, though.

Tehe, maybe Neil *wanted* to bring his own clothes!
So he doesn’t end up in a sequin blazer again! (Though I’d bet he picked that one himself.)
And you know, it doesn’t really matter, I just get easily obsessed with little details. (Also, I tend to forget that some people are very touchy about any kind of spoilers, so you did the right thing.)
