This just in: EW’s Jennifer Armstrong, while doing duty at the Television Critics Association tour in Pasadena, ran into How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris — and, like almost everybody else out there, he had something to say about Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington and his homophobic slur in reference to T.R. Knight. "I talk with [T.R.] on a not-so-regular basis… T.R.’s proven himself to be an incredibly classy, dignified guy," said Harris, who, like Knight, revealed to People magazine last year that he is gay. "I’m impressed that Katherine Heigl said what she said, and I was shocked that it all reared its ugly head again. It’s impossible for me to make any kind of comment on that, to judge it based on things you read and heard. It’s just disappointing that it’s cyclical."

Glad to hear what NPH had to say about the issue, and it sounds like he took the high route. BTW, anyone else feel he’s pretty much the only reason to watch How I met Your Mother these days? The plots are funny, but the other characters are starting to bug me almost as much as they seem to bug dude’s kids…
If anything positive comes out of this it will be that Grey’s Anat will have a kick ass season finale. I think this is all working up to Washington getting written out of the show.
Neil is hot as ever – boyfriend is even hotter!
Who is Neil Patrick Harris’ b/f? And yeah, Neil is absolutely adorable! I’m truly happy to see him take the upstanding route about this entire mess. I’m doubting Rosie O’Donell will be as nice, I’m awaiting her imminent blow-up response to all this, its not like she’s worried about pissing off the Powers-That-Be at ABC!
This headline was very misleading…
Unfortunately the media can contribute to how we feel. To me, while this is a unspeakable venom that gets spit out during an extremly bitter debacle. We must keep in mind that this is just a nasty name and does not define a person who is gay. If the idiot in this case Isaiah Washington threw a punch at T.R. Knight because he was gay then Washington has a serious problem. If Washington is let go insetad of docked pay then this just unecessary publicity for a great show.
LOL Jose! I just got that right now. If anyone was expecting a photo of NPH on top of Dr. Mchomophobe, they must be disapointed…
Phil – NPH’s boyfriend is a broadway actor named David Burtka and I went to HS with him. Great guy!
How can you keep a straight face when the words “rear” and “head” were mentioned on that statement by Harris? I sure couldn’t.
