Last week, it was announced that Neil Patrick Harris is going to host this year’s Oscars. Today we found out that he wasn’t the producers’ first choice. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron wanted Ellen DeGeneres back at the job, but she said no. Then they asked Chris Rock if he wanted to do it again and he too turned them down. The third choice is really random and thankfully Julia Louis-Dreyfus also wasn’t interested in hosting Hollywood’s biggest night. The first person who said yes was NPH, and now he gets the honor that three other people didn’t want.
Too bad, Kevin Spacey wasn’t higher on the list because I think he would be the perfect man for the Academy Awards.
I like Harris, but I am over him. I want someone new and exciting and I think Zadan and Meron should have held out a little longer before asking their fourth choice.
What do you think?
Neil Patrick Harris has hosted the Emmys, the Tonys and in 2015 he can add the Oscars to his resume. Take that Hugh Jackman, he’s now done one more bigger show than you.
A few years ago I would’ve been excited for this news, but now I am over him. I know he will do a great job, but it’s like been there, saw that. You know?
How do you feel about him MCing Hollywood’s biggest night?

Neil Patrick Harris is on The Late Show tonight and David Letterman asked Doogie Howser about his memoir that is coming out next month. It was then that the How I Met Your Mother star admitted he included the CBS late night host in the book and he thinks of him as a father figure.
Sounds innocent at first, but then he goes on. Harris then reads, “Only a sexy father. So suave, so rakishly handsome. A generous kisser, a generous lover.” Then he continues on as we wish he would, “You might expect him to be more selfish in bed, but no he is very thoughtful. He’s always tending to my needs first.” Then he wrapped it by saying, “The next time I’m on the show, I’m going to find some organic way to tell him how much I appreciate that.”
I think he succeeded. Not only in telling Letterman how he feels about him, but getting us to want to read Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography.

Ever since the producers of How I Met Your Mother Tweeted that there was an alternate ending to the crappy one that aired, we have wanted to see it. Well here it is, and it too is crappy. Not as crappy, but still crappy.
And they wonder why How I Met Your Mom didn’t get picked up. You are only as good as your last impression and their last impression was not a good one.
On a positive note, the HIMYM ending was still better than how Drop Dead Diva and Californication ended their runs. Although that is not saying much.
Neil Patrick Harris Tweeted this photo of himself sans his hole Hedwig and the Angry Inch costume, and there is nothing to be angry about in this picture. Seriously, how amazing does his body look after playing the lead role in the musical 8 shows a week for the last few months? It doesn’t even look like he has an angry inch of fat on him! Not that we can see the area where that inch is. I mean, we can barely see where it would be because there isn’t much we can’t see in the image.
Although, he needs to do a better job when it comes to putting on his makeup. I joke, because it looks like that from all the sweat and tears he shed during his Tony winning performance.
