Neil Patrick Harris on Hosting the Tonys and Guesting in Sleep No More
8 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
When one checks into the McKittrick Hotel, home of the full-immersion dance-theater phantasm Sleep No More, one expects the unexpected. Still, one does not expect to be pulled into a small room with Neil Patrick Harris, dressed as a hotel porter, tearfully exploring the “androgynous side of himself.” (Somehow, James Franco seems more likely.) The quintuple-threat How I Met Your Mother star and once-and-future Tony host was “so envious” when he heard Alan Cumming had done Sleep (as have Evan Rachel Wood and Dita Von Teese), he asked for a walk-on. And he’s going to do it again soon — though he won’t say exactly when. “If there’s ever any production of theirs they want me to be a part of, I am, by default, their lackey.”How’d a celebrity quintuple-threat TV star and Tony host end up guest-starring in a highfalutin haunted house?A friend had »

Iran recalls ambassador to Azerbaijan over Eurovision ‘gay parade’Could Pan Am survive to fly for another season?Last night's Glee finale was up 20% from last week, but down 35% from last year's finale. Molly Ringwald Says 'Pretty In Pink' Friend Duckie Was Gay, But Jon Cryer Disputes Allegation. Molly also says that John Hughes "wrote a lot of gay characters, but it was something that we never talked about. I would say in just about every movie he did, he had a character that easily could have been gay.” Yes, Molly but they weren't gay, because John Hughes had no guts, and that's one of the reasons why I have trouble wtih his filmography.

Listen: Clay Aiken Discusses 'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale, North Carolina's Amendment One, And More
19 May 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
A few days before his face-off with Arsenio Hall on the finale of Donald Trump’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” (Sunday night on NBC), Clay Aiken was confident and comfortable.
“I hope I’ll win,” said the openly gay singer and actor who shot to stardom as a contestant and first runner up on “American Idol” almost ten years ago. “We have different styles. [Arsenio Hall is] a little more laid back. I’m a little more hands-on. I think the effects of my efforts were superior. I think we’ll see on Sunday when Mr. Trump makes his decision.”
Aiken also weighed in on his new-found role as a gay activist, taking on North Carolina’s antigay Amendment One and appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation” opposite the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins last week, an experience he laughingly still can’t believe happened.
“Wasn’t that crazy?” he asked, beaming with a smile, »

Have you ever been this upset about a TV show? Check out fan's reaction to 'How I Met Your Mother' finale

Okay, I’ll admit that I started humming along to Cat Stevens at the end of last night’s How I Met Your Mother season finale. It was hard to see everyone grow up (Barney & Robin — phew!) and I’m just so darn happy for Marshall and Lily and Waitforit. I rewound to watch the Breakfast Club costumes again. And fine, I’ll even admit to getting a little misty-eyed when Ted drove off into the sunset with Victoria — don’t we all deserve to be happy?

Bret Michaels has settled a lawsuit against CBS over an injury he suffered during the 2009 Tony Awards. The singer had alleged that producers were to blame for him being smacked in the face by a descending set piece because they failed to tell him how to exit the stage safely. Michaels had just finished performing the 1980s Poison hit "Nothin' but a Good Time," featured in Rock of Ages, when the mishap occurred. He was sent for X-rays as Tonys host Neil Patrick Harris joked, "His number gave headbanging a whole new meaning." Michaels reportedly suffered
