Interviews: Radio | Neil Patrick Harris Fan

Beastly Premiere & iVillage results announced!

By Rach | Published Sat Feb-26-11 -

Last night was the Los Angeles premiere of Beastly, which opens in the US next Friday, March 4th.We’ve updated the gallery with some Red Carpet photos, and both AfterElton and PopSugar have (different) exclusive clips from the movie that heavily feature Neil. In the modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Neil plays a blind man who is sent to mentor Kyle, the hunky high school hot shot turned grotesque beast.

ETonline spoke to Neil at the premiere:

Neil Patrick Harris also stars in the movie, playing a visually-impaired man. While filming, Harris aided his performance by wearing lenses over his eyes that blocked his vision, and he dished to Frazier about the pranks pulled on him while he couldn’t see.

“Alex would mess with me, ’cause he knew that I couldn’t see him,” said Harris. “He’d always, as I was talking, move to different sides and try to lick my face and stuff.”

Movieweb have up an interview with Neil recorded during filming, and Reelz also has an interview clip featuring Neil, Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens.

You can listen to his recent interview on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show here.

Neil will be appearing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson next Thursday (March 3rd).

Thanks to all your voting, Neil won the ‘Gay Man We Wish Could Be Our Boyfriend‘ category in the iVillage awards, coming in with 44% of the vote.

Link Roundup

By Rach | Published Sat Aug-14-10 -

Here’s a bit of a link roundup of videos and interviews – most are Rent related and were conducted before last weekend’s shows.

Before last weekend’s Rent production, Southern California Public Radio conducted a five minute interview with Neil about Rent, which you can listen to on their website, and the Orange County Register talked to him too.Vanessa Hudgens talked to MTV about working with Neil, and there’s a nice quote from Neil about Vanessa at the end of the article. After the event, Suite101.com posted a good writeup of the show. Sky.com’s Showbiz section also has a video from rehearsals.

Neil talked to eonline about the chances of him coming back to Glee, and provided EW.com with his “Must List” – you can check out three items from his must-see list here.

Dracula’s Daughters vs the Space Brains will be showing at the Oklahoma Horror Film Festival on Labor Day weekend, Sept 3rd-5th – check out their website for more details and a short interview with director Frank Ippolito.

Glee, Glee, more Glee (and some HIMYM)!

By Rach | Published Fri May-14-10 -

With Neil’s episode of Glee less than a week away, the promotion machines are going into overdrive. First off, if you want to hear a 30 second clip of Neil and Matthew Morrison singing Aerosmith’s “Dream On”, head over to this YouTube video.

Neil has been interviewed on a couple of radio shows in the last week or so, to promote the Listerine documentary. Last week he called into the Mark & Brian show, which you can hear here or download here (8 minutes), and this week he was on the Elvis Duran morning show, which you can play or download here (7 minutes). Both interviews are spoiler free for Glee, HIMYM and the Smurfs, though he discusses all three in both interviews.

There’s an interview with Joss Whedon up at The Wrap, he talks about reuniting with Neil.

Finally for now, Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the HIMYM season five DVD. Which this isn’t confirmed cover art, the placeholder art they used last year ended up being what was used, so it’s probably close.

Pre-Emmy Roundup: Saturday

By Rach | Published Sat Sep-19-09 -

Once again there are various Neil focus pieces floating around: Time Magazine, the Hollywood Reporter, and Entertainment Weekly’s Popwatch previews the piece in this week’s print issue (which you can see scans of here).

“If I don’t win, it’ll be fantastic,” he says. “I’ve got tons of jokes ready for that. If I do win, I think I have to go do the press gauntlet midshow, and then they’ll cut to me back there saying, ‘Our next two presenters are…’ I thought about calling [Malcolm in the Middle’s] Chris Masterson and seeing if he would sub in for me, as me, while I went to the gauntlet, and not even make a reference to the fact that he’s not me. Just have him keep going. Because I get told I was wonderful on Malcolm in the Middle almost as much as I get told I was wonderful on Doogie Howser.“

His appearance on Ellen yesterday is now on YouTube, you can listen to him chatting on On Air With Ryan Seacrest, and you can also watch another red carpet video from the Pepsi Max CBS Premiere Party here.

And if you have time to kill, AfterElton.com has a Neil Patrick Harris online jigsaw puzzle, and RightCelebrity presents the argument for Neil being The Sexiest Man Alive.

Pre-Emmy Roundup: Friday

By Rach | Published Fri Sep-18-09 -

Lots of articles today! First the LA Times has a nice piece with a few more details on how they’re saving time without cutting awards.

“There will be seven presenting teams,” producer Don Mischer tells Gold Derby. “They’ll each do two awards instead of one. That saves us walk-out time and the banter the presenters usually have to do before introducing an award. After presenting one award, the presenting team will jump right into giving out the next one.”

The same piece informs us that Neil will be “appearing on stage more than any other Emmy host ever”, and includes a running order for the awards. Neil’s Supporting Actor category is the third award of the night.

Bing claims to be the place to be for up to the minute Emmy news on the night, NPR have done a spotlight piece (and thanks to the reader who let us know that Neil will be on NPR’s Morning Edition today).

Videos: Neil previews the Emmys for Entertainment Weekly, and ETOnline catch up with the star at Wednesday’s CBS Season Premieres party. Finally, Neil discusses his part in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Kind of.

TCA Nomination, interview roundup & “Beastly”

By Rach | Published Fri Jun-5-09 -

Neil has been nominated for a Television Critics Association award for Individual Achievement in Comedy. He’s up against Tina Fey, Jim Parsons, Steve Carell and Alec Baldwin. HIMYM was also nominated in the “Outstanding Achievement in Comedy”.

Neil has been hitting the interview circuit pre-Tonys – here’s a roundup of everything we’ve found since yesterday’s update!

Videos: On Good Day LA, Neil talks hosting the TONY Awards, awkward moments on live TV and bringing Broadway to a national audience. Neil’s “Top Ten List” from last night’s Letterman (“Top Ten Signs You’ve Hired A Bad Tony Awards Host”) has been uploaded on YouTube (Neil shows up at around 5.06), Neil talks to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello in this seven minute interview,

Articles: Neil talks to the Wall Street Journal and ETonline about the Tonys and his work on HIMYM, while the Herald-Dispatch blog recaps the media conference call in full. Playbill, the Northwest Herald and the Boston Herald also run articles from that call.

He was also due to appear on CBS’s Early Show this morning, as well as the Morning Mash Up, 6am-12noon EST on Sirius XM (whatever that is!), along with the already announced appearance on The View.

Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch will be liveblogging from the Tonys, so if you can’t watch it live, you can still keep up to date!

Finally, one of those articles revealed that as well as The Best and the Brightest, Neil will be shooting a second movie this hiatus. He’ll be headed to Montreal to shoot “Beastly”, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen and Alex Pettyfer, – “a modern-day take on the “Beauty and the Beast” tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.” Daniel Barnz (Phoebe in Wonderland) will direct his own screenplay, based on Alex Flinn‘s novel. The movie is a joint production between Storefront Films and CBS films (which may have led to Neil’s involvement). CBS films are listed as the distributors, for a theatrical release of 2010.
