I never would have supsected it, but apparently there are folks out there that our “outing” our man Neil Patrick Harris (Barney).  Canada.com reports:

Nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood. Former Doogie Howser star Neil Patrick Harris, 33, recently got his longtime sweetheart David Burtka, 31, a guest role on his series How I Met Your Mother (airing Wednesday nights on CH). Burtka is an experienced theatre actor (he played opposite Bernadette Peters in Gypsy on Broadway and starred in the touring company of Beauty and the Beast) but also had small parts on episodes of The West Wing and Crossing Jordan.

Today, N.P.H.’s publicist denied the claims stating, “He’s not of that persuasion.” If it’s not true, then shame on canda.com.  If it is true, then he is that much better of an actor, because there is no way I would have guessed that from his acting on HIMYM!
