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.

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.

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.

Neil has once again been nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for his role as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, and additionally has been nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series category for his appearance as Bryan Ryan on Glee.

“Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit” has been nominated in the  Outstanding Original Music & Lyrics category, and HIMYM has again been nominated for Outstanding Art Direction in a Multi Camera Series. HIMYM misses out on a nomination in the Outstanding Comedy Series category this year.

First of all, TV Squad caught up with Neil while he was doing his Smurfs press a few weeks ago. They cover everything from Harold & Kumar to Glee and Doctor Horrible, so check it out here.

Is there going to be a third ‘Harold and Kumar’ movie?
They started filming already. It’s called ‘A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas.’ It’s in 3-D, and they’re filming in Detroit. I’m not dead in the third one.

How are you going to explain that?
You saw me get shot [in the last movie], and at the end of the credits I arose, so I was clearly not dead. All may or probably won’t be explained. There’s a new director on board, and he’s great. We’re doing a giant holiday TV special Christmas medley that I help [out on], so there may be singing and dancing in ‘Harold and Kumar.’ He’s very enthusiastic towards Busby Berkeley.

You have so many different projects going on now.
I’m just so amazed and lucky that things keep slotting in as they do. Things have been very fortunate the last couple of years, to an extreme, but if this movie ['Smurfs'] were happening a month later, I wouldn’t have been able to do it because it would have overlapped with ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ and if this movie had gone on another week I wouldn’t have been able to do ‘Harold and Kumar’ because I had to slot that in. It’s all been circumstantial and wonderful.

And Out.com caught up with Neil not long after last year’s Emmys, in this interview that we haven’t linked here before.

While his return was never really in doubt (would they dare make an H&K movie without NPH?!), Hollywood.com has confirmed that Neil will be returning in A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, due in Theaters Christmas 2011. Check out the full article here for a few snippets on Glee, Dr Horrible and his return to H&K, and expect a few articles to pop up over the next week or so as it seems it was press day at the Smurfs this week, with Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello also stopping by the set on Tuesday.

Neil tweeted earlier that he was about to go on and do the Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda. If you couldn’t get to a TV in time, or live outside of the US, you can watch it on their website here. He talks Glee, Smurfs, HIMYM and the Magic Castle amongst other things!

They also have a web exclusive video filmed after the show, asking Neil how he thought the interview went, here!

Hope you’ve gotten some sleep now, Neil!

Now that the episode has aired, Tim Stack of EW’s PopWatch has posted an interview conducted with Neil during the filming of the episode, and it contains mild spoilers. They talk about how Neil got the gig on Glee, working with Joss, and his fears for the future of Dr Horrible.

There’s also a video interview on MTV.com, conducted on the red carpet at TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people gala a week or two back.

If you didn’t see the episode, you can catch it on Hulu if you’re in the US. In the UK, Dream On will air on E4 this coming Monday (May 24th) at 9pm, repeated throughout the week, and on Channel 4 next Friday (May 28th) at 8pm for those of you without digital. “Dream On” is the only one of Neil’s songs from the episode that has an official studio version, which you can buy on iTunes or here on Amazon (coming soon), and features on the Volume 3: Showstoppers soundtrack album, which is out now.

In non-Glee news, Stand Up To Cancer today announced that following their September 2008 telethon, there will be another this year, to be broadcast on September 10th. More details will be announced as the date approaches, and Neil may not be involved, but he is a strong supporter of their work so we’re keen to publicise their event here.
