New couple spotted at the Emmys!
The Emmys weren't just a showcase for how awesome Neil Patrick Harris is. The awards show was also the prime Hollywood hookup market of the fall. E! Online reports that Jason Segel, whose CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother was nominated for Best Comedy Series, and Chloë Sevigny, one of the plural wives from HBO's Best Drama Series nominee Big Love, were spotted making out at HBO's afterparty. Reps for the two declined to comment, but we know it is on.
Chloë and unfeasibly tall Jason were spotted kissing in a secluded corner of the HBO … Read More
The CBS hit sitcom offers four valuable love lessons to the Gen X/Gen Y set.
No one has probably ever told you this but being a successful twentysomething living in New York The City isn't all peaches and cream. There's job stress, living situation stress, friendship stress, relationship stress and sometimes Bob Saget smugly reminisces about the whole sordid affair. While How I Met Your Mother is framed as flashbacks (narrated by Saget) of the protagonist's (Ted) quest to find a woman to make babies with him, the ensemble brings much more to the table than that.

NPH and David Burtka are holding out on children just a bit longer.
There have been a few rumors being batted around that say Neil Patrick Harris is expecting a child. Seeing as he and his partner, the super cool David Burtka, are both men and thus incapable of becoming pregnant, we were mildly skeptical of the story. Jokes aside, obviously NPH and David Burtka could very easily have secured a surrogate (possibly David Crosby?) but the star of How I Met Your Mother has told New York Magazine that they are waiting a bit before they become parents though he says that he and David "would make … Read More
Neil Patrick Harris and his partner are not expecting a baby—yet!
So, are Neil Patrick Harris and his longtime partner David Burtka expecting a baby via a surrogate mother? Star magazine reported earlier this week that the couple were going through Growing Generations, the same agency that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick used for the twin girls they are expecting in July. Sources even revealed that Neil and David had made it through the screening process and were relieved that they could start going through surrogate profiles to find the right woman to carry their baby. The source even went on to say, “Neil and David … Read More

An ad wants near-perfect wingwomen and we've got some fictitious picks for the job.
Thank you Gawker and Craiglist.
If it wasn't for these sites, we would have missed this oh-so-classy help wanted ad for a "Personal Introduction Assistant" or "Wingwoman."
Now, the employment posting wants applicants to be classy and dress well, and states the following about the ideal applicant:
"Must be able to do 4 things: 1) start conversations with beautiful women; 2) after that, remain totally silent, unless spoken directly to, but smile and look friendly while the man you are "winging" orchestrates the social situation; 3) socialize and block any man or woman attempting to interfere with the … Read More
Justin Timberlake & Andy Samberg's video brings up a lot of questions.
There are a lot of things that are forbidden fruit to best bros (or even close bros), the list of these verboten acts constitute the bro code. While the written Bro Code is a contrivance of How I Met Your Mother's Barney Stinson (played awesomely by Neil Patrick Harris), unwritten (and largely unsaid) rules exist between real life bros.
Almost all of these unwritten rules involve the acquisition or retention of tail. There are several understandings between gentlemen that all but make moot the phrase "all is fair in love and war." Chief among … Read More
These TV couples show us how to keep romance in our relationships every week. Who does it best?
There are a bunch of things a married guy just can't do anymore. Sorry.
You're probably going to get really sick of this but, I was watching How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) the other night and it was enter-wait for it-taining once again. This episode (Episode 84, "Murtaugh," Season 4) centered around a list called the Murtaugh List (after Roger Murtaugh, played by Danny Glover, one half of the Lethal Weapon's crime-fighting team). The list was named after Murtaugh's catchphrase, "I'm too old for this sh*t," and was a list of things that the characters were too old to do. I thought the list was a little silly, I've used a beer … Read More
