Calling Mr. Stinson: Today, Oct. 13, 2011, is International Suit Up Day.

How are folks celebrating? Why, with a website and a Facebook page full of people uploading their best Suited Up shots. So break out your tie (no duckies allowed!) and head down to your version of MacLaren’s Pub and see just how many high fives and bro code rules you can knock out. Maybe throw in some laser tag and make a night of it. Bonus points if you convince your gang to karaoke to Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit.

The site has plenty of ideas for how to celebrate: Party in a suit, drink in a suit, or, my favorite, watch some more How I Met Your Mother. Need some more inspiration? Check out our gallery of Sharp-Dressed Men for even more hotties with smartly dressed bodies. You’ll be in good company. READ FULL STORY »

No amount of time spent with Big Carl will help me get over the fact that ABC’s Cougar Town won’t premiere until next year. I curse whoever made the decision to keep the Cul-de-sac Crew off the air until that mid-season premiere date (which has yet to be determined).

But it seems that the powers that be read my mind and made the decision to at least get Jules & Co. back on my TV, even though they can’t deliver any new Cougar Town episodes. Earlier this week, the show’s creator Bill Lawrence tweeted that his cast “will be on more shows this fall (this week even) than any cast on tv.” What quickly followed was Lawrence’s announcement of the “Find the Cougar Town Cast” project.

I think we can all agree that we sometimes become too invested in our television programs. That’s why we cry during season finales, scream at our TV, and in the case of last night’s How I Met Your Mother, literally fall out of your chair. Well, perhaps the latter just happened to me. In any case, let’s talk about that ending…

But to do that, we have to quickly recap.

Have you ever been watching the end of a Vampire Diaries and wondered why you were weeping? Or been humming a random Springsteen song all week before you remember it was featured in Glee? Well, friend, you are not alone. We here at EW have been keeping our eyes and ears open in search of the best music appearing on the small screen this fall season. From that tireless search was born the TV Jukebox. Since the premieres began rolling in, we’ve found songs from perennial earworm provider Grey’s Anatomy, some danceable goodness from Glee and How I Met Your Mother, a surprise entry from still wet-behind-the-ears sitcom Free Agents, and more. Check out our picks below!  READ FULL STORY »

'How I Met Your Mother' casts Katie Holmes as the 'Slutty Pumpkin.' Are we excited or terrified about the possibilities?

How I Met Your Mother has found its Slutty Pumpkin! CBS confirms to EW that Katie Holmes will step into the show’s iconic (and, until now, mysterious) role for a Halloween-themed episode this season. And after mulling over this choice for nearly an hour…my head hurts.

I don’t want to say the casting disappoints me (in fact, that’s far from true; I loved Holmes as Joey on Dawson’s Creek) — but it certainly makes me wonder: Could Holmes be The Mother?

The Slutty Pumpkin has always been an important part of Mother mythology, and, on a deeper level, an important symbol of Ted’s belief in love. READ FULL STORY »

This Week's Cover: Neil Patrick Harris gives you his Hollywood Survival Guide

by
Tags: , , , , , , Television, TV

Is there anything Neil Patrick Harris can’t do? He acts! He rocks jokes! He sings! He dances! He hosts! He performs magic! And now let’s add yet another talent to that list: He writes a damn good cover story! EW learned this firsthand — and you will too — when you open this week’s issue. We placed a pencil in the 38-year-old actor’s mouth hand and asked him to pen his version of a Hollywood Survival Guide, which details everything from the highs and lows of teen stardom, thanks to his role as a precocious doctor on Doogie Howser, M.D., to the joy of finding unexpected success as legendary bachelor Barney Stinson on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother. NPH also offers some sage advice on navigating interviews (reveal your personal life, not your private life) and how to act on a set (“Never be a d-bag to the crew”). Herewith, a few excerpts from his story:  READ FULL STORY »

'HIMYM' poll: Which one of Ted's girlfriends have you liked the best? The least?

“Noooo!” Those were the only words I could seem to muster out (okay, shout) when Ted’s ex Victoria (Ashley Williams) re-emerged out of nowhere during the second episode of last night’s seventh season premiere of How I Met Your Mother.

I couldn’t tell whether it was the initial shock (there was a lot of frustrating information to take in last night, including whether Barney is marrying Nora or Robin) or whether I was disappointed that Victoria was back in general that made me react that way. But why would I be mad that she’s returned, cupcakes and all? After all, the only reason I vehemently rooted against Victoria when she was introduced in the first season is because I was too busy rooting for Ted and Robin to finally make a go of it.  READ FULL STORY »

'How I Met Your Mother' season 7 premiere: A shocking blast from the past. Do you like where this season is headed?

by
Tags: , , , Mini TV Watch, Television, TV

himym-radnorImage Credit: Karen Neal/FoxThe creators of How I Met Your Mother, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, had promised that this season would once again make us care about Ted’s hunt for love. I honestly wasn’t sure how they were going to do it, considering I had been so invested in everyone except Ted for a few seasons. At the end of last season, I cared more about Barney and Robin; Barney and Nora; and Lily and Marshall than I had cared about Ted in years. It was a tough task ahead. Then I watched tonight’s two new episodes, and, by God, they did it. But before I tell you how, let’s rewind. [Spoilers ahead, y'all! Don't continue unless you've seen the season premiere of How I Met Your Mother.]  READ FULL STORY »

Update: Read a rundown of the premiere here.

I love premiere week — probably more than my birthday and all major non-present holidays combined! And tonight brings one of my favorite shows back from hiatus: How I Met Your Mother.

Having seen the first half hour of the premiere (yes, that’s me gloating), I can’t wait for y’all to see it. And yes, I’ll be back later today with some thoughts on it. But while the show is on our brains, I wanted to toss out a question: What do you want to see this year? READ FULL STORY »

How I Met Your Mother’s Barney Stinson may be a cad, but Neil Patrick Harris has proven himself to be a class act over the course of his 23-year career. The actor received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today — the 2,448th in Walk history. The ceremony took place on Los Angeles’s Hollywood Boulevard near the famous Pantages theater. HIMYM co-star Jason Segel, Harris’s partner David Burtka, and Joss Whedon (director of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) were in attendance. HIMYM‘s seventh season premieres on CBS this Monday, Sept. 19.
