DETAILS.com has posted a nice new Q&A with Neil.

The 38-year-old star caps a busy year with appearances this month in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Chrismas and The Muppets. He chatted with DETAILS.com about his love of magic, why he’ll never be the face of gay marriage, and his next career move—becoming a Blaxploitation star.

Visit DETAILS.com for the full interview.

Neil and David attended the launch of Barneys New York Presents Gaga’s Workshop last night. We’ve added pictures to the gallery.

So while we were out of the country, Neil was on… everything. The gallery is currently being updated with photos from the Smurfs World Premiere and the Smurf Week Kick Off Ceremony (there are a few up there already for both events, with more to come), and now I’m going to do a brief roundup of everything else. Thanks so much to Marcy for helping us out by giving us a heads up on what he was up to, so we weren’t totally floundering when we got back!

Last Monday Neil was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which you can watch in two parts here and here (not region restricted).

He co-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday, and you can watch the host chat section here.

Neil will be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight, on NBC at 12.35/11.35c.

Finally (for now – there’s more to come!) Neil and Jayma talked to Young Hollywood on their Smurfs promo trail:

We’ve finally added scans from Neil & David’s People interview into the gallery. Thank you to Helena from GoslingFan.com for providing us with such big ones to add!

It also looks as if unfortunately, Neil’s appearance on Ellen tomorrow has fallen victim to his busy schedule, as he’s been replaced in the lineup with Vince Vaughn.

TV Guide has a couple of quotes from Neil in their roundup from a couple of panels on Wednesday at winter TCA Press Tour.

As well as the two shows he was already scheduled to be part of at SF Sketchfest – Brian Henson in Conversation with Neil Patrick Harris, and The Paul F Tompkins Show on Sunday January 23rd – he has also been added to the lineup for the 9.30pm performance of the Thrilling Adventure Hour on Saturday January 22nd. He will join Alison Brie, Colin Hanks, Samm Levine, and Busy Philipps, amongst others, in at the Marine’s Memorial Theatre. Tickets are still available and cost $40/$50.

Finally, if you haven’t already seen it, take a look at this video posted on the official HIMYM YouTube which features the cast talking about “what HIMYM means to them“.

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!

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.

While in Vegas for the CBS Films Luncheon at ShoWest (a film/cinema distribution trade show), Neil talked to Tony Potts from Access Hollywood about his directing future and his work on Glee, as well as a little playing a blind man about Beastly, the movie Neil was there to promote. We’ve got a bunch of photos from the event, featuring Neil, Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer, in our gallery.

Dracula’s Daughter’s Vs. The Space Brains had its world premiere at the Cleveland International Film Festival on Friday, and by all accounts was a massive success! Clevescene talks to director Frank Ippolito ahead of the premiere and had this to say of Neil’s casting:

Casting Harris, whom he knew through the magician Teller (the subject of the Teller shorts) wasn’t difficult. “He likes quirky things,” Ippolito says of Harris. “Most of the stuff I see him do is a little weird so he thought it was cool. It wasn’t a struggle to get him to say yes.”

Despite Tweeting to the contrary following rumours earlier in the week, Neil did indeed perform the opening number at tonight’s 82nd Annual Academy Awards. He technically didn’t lie, as Martin Short was nowhere to be seen; though it’s thought that Mr Short was supposed to join him but a recent family emergency kept him away.

We’ve started to add pictures to the gallery, and the album will be updated as more come in.

Last year during the HIMYM summer hiatus, Neil shot The Best & The Brightest, a new comedy also starring Amy Sedaris, Bonnie Somerville, Peter Serafinowicz, John Hodgman, Jenna Stern, Kate Mulgrew, Steve Park, Kelly Coffield, Bridget Regan, Nina Lisandrello, and Chris McDonald. The movie’s writer/director Joshua Shelov was awesome enough to send us over an exclusive photo from the movie to share with you all.

Bonnie Somerville plays Neil’s wife Sam, and two of them play a couple navigating the treacherous waters of elite New York City private kindergartens. Josh has only the highest compliments for Neil, and we can’t wait to find out more about the movie!

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.

In a new Los Angeles Times article, Neil discusses HIMYM, suits and his own personal style.

“I’m a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy,” he said in a recent interview. “I was intimidated by high-end fashion growing up, and I never really bought into all the expensive things they were hawking in the fashion magazines.

“I didn’t know what to make of it. . . . I’d go into Fred Segal and panic at all the $6,000 shirts. I’d just as soon go to H&M and buy a similar shirt for $70.”

Even so, as a result of playing the show’s well-clad cad, Harris has had the luxury of engaging in some sartorial soul-searching. “Because the wardrobe department adds four or five new suits to Barney’s wardrobe each season, I’ve had the chance to try on just about every brand of suit on the market,” he said.

“That’s how I found that certain brands just fit my body type well. Dolce & Gabbana uses thinner fabrics and that makes them more comfortable for me — that’s another thing I’ve learned from” the show.

Harris, who doesn’t rely on a personal stylist to dress him for talk show appearances and red carpets, has even borrowed from the show’s wardrobe on occasion. “That’s one of the great things about being a guy,” he said. “You can just throw on a suit.”

And when pressed, he’ll admit he can see the wisdom of spending good money on denim (he favors Levi’s and Hudson) and underwear — “the stuff you wear all the time,” he said. He shops for clothes at Barneys CO-OP (“the one at the Grove is pretty good, but I’m usually in New York”). He’s partial to shades of blue and gray, shuns bold patterns and confesses a peculiar addiction to V-neck T-shirts.

“Slate gray is my favorite color,” he said. “I probably have 15 gray short-sleeve V-neck T-shirts in my house. Every time I go to buy clothes, I seem to end up with two more. I’ve got dark gray, darker gray, light gray, lighter gray, [and] darker blue-gray.”

You can read the rest of the interview at the LA Times website, and we’ve added the photoshoot pictures to the gallery, along with some pictures of Neil on the phones at the Hope for Haiti Now telethon on Friday night. The two-hour telethon raised $57m. You can continue to donate by phone, text, or via the Hope for Haiti website for the next six months.

Neil also attended the new Pee Wee Herman show at LA’s Club Nokia last week, and talked to TheStar.com about the show, and the chances of Dr Horrible 2.

The night I attended, I happened to spot How I Met Your Mother‘s Neil Patrick Harris in the audience, and was able to ask him what he thought of the show during an HIMYM set visit the next day.

He essentially agreed with me, having been both mildly entertained and somewhat disappointed with how much of it was recycled. It needs, we concur, more new gags and characters, along the lines of the featured floating puppet “Sham-Wow,” later accidentally deep-fried and resurrected as a ghost.

Harris, a song-and-dance stage star himself, hinted at an upcoming guest appearance on Glee, likely to be directed by Joss Whedon, for whom he also starred in the musical web hit Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog.

Harris is as much in the dark as anyone about the likelihood of a Horrible sequel. “I keep sort of asking (Whedon) if it’s gonna happen, if there’s gonna be any kind of Dr. Horrible-ness,” he says. “They’re anxious to do it, but scheduling becomes the tricky issue.”
