Neil Patrick Harris will return as host of the Tony Awards telecast on June 10 at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan.
"While Neil Patrick Harris hit town last week to co-host “Live! With Kelly,” he and partner David Burtka made time to stop in the 77kids NYC Style Lab in the American Eagle Times Square store to stock up on clothes for their twins, Gideon Scott and Harper Grace. They decided against matching antler-adorned trapper hats for them, said a spy. But, the witness reports, Harris wound up buying adult versions of the same headgear for Burtka and himself."

"I’m Captain Hook to David’s Peter Pan. Harper’s Tinkerbell and Gideon is Smee."

"It’s good to have a lot of once-in-a-lifetimes in your lifetime. If you get the chance to skydive, go skydiving. If you’re offered a part in a weird Shakespeare play in San Diego, slap on some tights and rock out some iambic pentameter. If you’re offered the opportunity to have a swastika painted on your ass, glitter on your nipples, and to simulate sex with a man and a woman behind a curtain, go for it… provided it’s Cabaret on Broadway and not in some dude’s basement."

Neil Patrick Harris Receives Walk of Fame Star
![“It all started with a joke,” recalled Neil Patrick Harris, star of the upcoming action film Homo with a Shotgun. “We were on break on the set of [television sitcom How I Met Your] Mother, and [co-star] Jason [Segel] was Google Imaging me to find that one shot of me on a unicorn. Instead, he happened upon a picture of me holding a double-barrel shotgun. I don’t even remember when…anyway, he showed it to [co-star] Allyson [Hannigan], and she said, ‘Hey, it’s a homo with a shotgun!’ I guess she had just seen the trailer for [the Rutger Hauer film] Hobo with a Shotgun, and thought it was a cute riff.”
Harris smiled, looked down slightly, and shook his head in amazement. “Next thing I know, somebody from Dimension [Films] is on the phone, and we’re getting $20 million in funding from the State of New York to develop the picture. Amazing.”
Details regarding the film’s plot are (so far) being kept hush-hush, but it seems likely that Harris’ titular homo will be forced to use his shotgun to defend against the dark forces seeking to deprive gays of their right to marry, possibly in a small town in Mississippi. “I won’t say the phrase ‘Squeal like a pig!’ is in the script,” teased Harris. “But then again, I won’t say it isn’t, either. It’s going to be a trip.”
Besides Harris, the film will feature an all-star cast of major figures in the gay marriage debate, including TV personalities Rachel Maddow and Ellen DeGeneres (upper right), National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown (center right), and Governors Andrew Cuomo and Sarah Palin (center left).](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo8cpgrsTB1qcwr2qo1_400.jpg)
