Gay men and straight women have been natural allies for years, sharing relationship horror stories and top billing on popular '90s sitcoms. And now that there are so many out and proud celebrities, and such adorable ones, too, that we don't see any reason why we should limit our crushes to heterosexuals. Here are seven of our favorite famous gay men, and the reasons we love them so (yes, like that).

Neil Patrick Harris

Because he handled a public outing with grace, nonchalance, and dignity. Because he makes being a gay icon for the 21st century look easy while playing a … Read More

Lindsay Price, whom you may recognize from Lipstick Jungle, this season's Eastwick, or the short-lived NBC remake of Coupling, lost both her boyfriend, How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor, and her job this week when ABC execs announced they were shutting down Eastwick. The Wednesday-night show, based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick and the 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, had been struggling to attract an audience.

Lindsay is fast turning into the 2000s version of famous showkillers Paula Marshall or Ted McGinley. The poor girl just can't seem … Read More

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

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.

The five main characters, Robin (Cobie Smolders), Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), … Read More

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

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

Sure, the characters in television shows are generally gorgeous, intelligent, and seem to lead lives well outside their financial means. Nevertheless, even these blessed fictional beauties have problems when it comes to relationships. Commitment phobes, sex addicts, and the emotionally unhealthy run rampant on today's most popular television programs. Take a look at these couples and feel better about your own relationship. You're welcome.

Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl

These two are the definition of teen angst. High class society girl Blair Waldorf just can't seem to get enough of sexy, brooding Chuck Bass despite his man-whore reputation. Lucky … Read More

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

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
