Neil Patrick Harris

By lost_torch How I Met Your Mother’s decision to bring the Barney-Robin love story to a premature climax has left fans feeling decidedly unsatisfied. But executive producer Carter Bays insists the romance was sacrificed for a greater good: the preservation of Neil Patrick Harris’ legendary ladies...

By snicks I know people are getting up-in-arms about Mariah Carey's list of demands to turn on some Christmas lights, and it's too bad they didn't ask me. All I would have required would be a case of Yoo-Hoo, a Baja Beef Chalupa from Taco Bell, and maybe a lap dance from one of those Twilight guys.

By Myles Last week’s episode of How I Met Your Mother proved enormously divisive, despite the fact that for the most part most critics read the episode itself in much the same way. For example, Todd VanDerWerff and I both liked elements of the episode, but our overall impressions of the episode were...

By jimmy paravane In case you were wondering, the other openly gay actress is NOT Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen has acted in her career, but right now she is a well known, and well liked, even by some of you aliens, comedienne, talk show host AND soon to be American Idol judge!

By fizzle I never thought I’d say this…tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother was terrible. I never ever ever want to see an actor wearing a fat suit on screen again. And Neil Patrick Harris, of all people?! It was unflattering, unfunny, and barely made sense in the overarching story. I did like how it...

By snicks Sir Ian McKellen showed up on The View today and mentioned that it wasn't until he came out that he became a movie star. He also had to endure Elizabeth Hasselbeck arguing with him about the NHS (apparently Lizzy is an expert on British health services), a flu-ravaged Whoopi Goldberg asking...

By lucyfoxx Ok, so How I Met Your Mother has only just started screening in the UK, and so it’s stars don’t have quite the profile that they do in the States. But looking at the stir the show has created across the pond, it is obvious that the cast have started to take their place among TV (and cinema’s) A list....

By LyleMasaki If there's one thing How I Met Your Mother does incredibly well, it's making the audience wait for the pay-off for a joke (see Countdown, Slap Bet). At the risk of ruining the eventual joke (cuz we're that smart), let's dig through the archive of Neil Patrick Harris photos in AfterElton Blun...

By Andrew Belonsky Everyone loves Neil Patrick Harris. And how could they not? He came out singing cabaret and danced away with our undying love. Not that he didn't have it before. After this evening's turn as the show's host, we're pretty sure Harris should master the ceremonies of every Hollywood event ever.

By Brian Moylan At least that's something to liven up the long, tedious awards show that is like the Oscars, but with more categories, worse dresses, and Tony Shalhoub in the audience. We predict that Harris is going to do a lovely job, just like he did earlier this year at the Tonys. Then they will ask him to co...

By halfhearteddude Neil Patrick Harris, a teenage TV star as Doogie Howser MD, is the perhaps the funniest man on TV right now. As Barney Stinson, his comedic timing and delivery is impeccable.

By Jac But what makes the show really tick? Neil Patrick Harris, Dr Horrible himself playing the womanizer Barney Stinson. His catchphrases (here’s his blog) and bro code (there’s even a book now) raise the show to another level. There is no one in real life like the Barnacle, you would expect such...

Britney Spears returned to CBS’s How I Met Your Mother Monday as Abby, the silly-vulnerable receptionist with an unrequited crush on Ted (Josh Radnor). The ratings spiked with her first appearance, so she was quickly shoehorned into this new episode.
