Golden Globes roundup

By Rach | Published Mon Jan-18-10 -

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.”

Post-Emmy Roundup: Monday

By Rach | Published Mon Sep-21-09 -

Glossing over the fact that (if you haven’t heard) Neil was robbed once again and even without Jeremy Piven being nominated, he lost the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series award to Two and a Half Men’s Jon Cryer, the show has been getting rave reviews. If you watched the ceremony you’ll have seen many of the presenters praising Neil’s handling of the show, Jon Stewart in particular.

And the compliments don’t stop there. There are reviews of the show all over this morning and they’re all incredibly positive about Neil and the way the show was put together. There’s USA Today, Los Angeles Times, the LA Times Awards Insider, Entertainment Weekly, Zap2it, StarTribune, Reuters, the Arizona Republic and The Celebrity Cafe, to name just a few.

There are photos from the arrival and the show in our gallery, with more to come as today progresses, so keep an eye on it! And if you check out our YouTube channel, you can check out the Dr Horrible interruption, and Neil’s awesome opening number.

And don’t forget (as if you could!) that How I Met Your Mother season five premieres tonight on CBS at the new time of 8/7c!

Something I forgot in all the updates yesterday – there’s a lovely article/interview up at USA Today, and there’s a new photo up along with the article. Thanks to a wonderful donor, we now have 73 HQ outtakes from that particular shoot in our gallery.

There’s a Q&A up on Oprah.com, and some new video interviews – one from TV Guide’s Emmy preview, and the cast on CBS’s The Early Show (both episodes contain some clips/behind the scenes from S5 episodes so slight spoilers).

Finally, there’s a Neil profile as part of the Celebrating…Emmy digimag, available here. The 24-page digi-mag celebrates the nominees for major categories, profiles host Neil Patrick Harris and includes a gallery of Charles Bush photographs of past recipients.

The Tonys & Beastly

By Rach | Published Mon Jun-8-09 -

Neil’s night at the Tony Awards is over and while the reports start to flow in, we’ve added arrivals and show pictures to the gallery, and you can see Neil’s big closing number on YouTube – and be sure to keep an eye on our YouTube Channel as we’ll be adding more videos to our playlists as and when they become available.

And a quick update on Neil’s role in Beastly – the Hollywood Reporter has run a piece the two films Neil’s shooting this summer, and it elaborates that he’ll be playing “a blind tutor who helps and bonds with a teen (Alex Pettyfer) who is shellshocked from being turned into a hideous young man”.

More on the Harris/Burtka Art Exhibition

By Rach | Published Thu May-21-09 -

LA Weekly blogger Gendy Alimurung also attended Neil and David’s exhibition of art, and you can read her article here.

“Careful,” he warns when several women move to check out his bookshelves. “One of those cabinets is full of porn.”

A few words on Neil Patrick Harris’ office: Best. Office. Ever. Dark and spooky but kinda silly. It contains an original 1968 plaque from Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, and a Medusa-head lenticular “changing portrait” from the same. A bride doll with a beating red heart glows on the floor.

Neil was at the CBS Upfront presentation in New York yesterday. There are some photos in the gallery, and you can read about his part of the presentation in this article.

“Article 157, a good way for a bro to get a get in the mood at the CBS party is to suddenly mention the dirtiest sounding CBS shows. These include, but are not limited to ‘The Bing Bang Theory’ and ‘69 Minutes.’”
