Neil Patrick Harris has been confirmed to reprise his role as “NPH” (himself) in the third Harold and Kumar film “A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas”.

The film is expected sometime in 2011 (I would think around Christmas 2011).

So far no plot details have been released!!

It was announced yesterday that Tony Nominee Sean Hayes (‘Will & Grace) will host this years 64th annual Tony Awards.

Hayes is nominated for his role in the musical ‘Promises, Promises’.

Hayes said in a statement “As the new guy on Broadway, it’s an honor to be included in the established alumni,”

Last year Tony viewing was up thanks to hosting duties from Niel Patrick Harris, so we will have to see if viewers will stick around this year.

The Tony’s are up against from heavy competition as HBO premiere’s the 3rd season of ‘True Blood’ the same night at 9pm EDT.

Hayes won in Emmy for his role ad Jack McFarland in ‘Will & Grace’.

**SPOILERS AHEAD: READ AT OWN RISK**

Gleek’s dream came true last night as the highly anticipated ‘Dream On’ episode of ‘Glee’ finally aired.

Why were we looking forward to it you ask? Why because 3 of the most amazing people guest stared/directed in that episode.

‘Dream On’ was directed by superstar Joss Whedon (‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘Angel’, ‘Dr.Horrible Blog’), the episode then guest starred Tony Winner Indina Menzel (Wicked, Rent), and then topped off with Mr.Triple Threat Neil Patrick Harris (‘How I Met Your Mother).

Harris starred at Bryan Ryan a new school board member and classmate of Mr.Shu’s (Matthew Morrison) who is sent to make budget cuts.  His first attack glee club solely because he didn’t make it on to The Great White Way aka Broadway.

What we got… a drunken version of ‘Piano Man’ and then the killer duet of Areosmith’s ‘Dream On’ between Harris and Morrison while auditioning for the same role at the local community theater.

On the side Jesse (Jonathan Groff) has forgiven Rachel (Lea Michele) and very randomly gets her to admit she misses having a mother.  This leads to us finding out Jesse’s true reasons for joining ‘New Directions’ (hint it wasn’t his “love” for Rachel…at first).

We also see Artie (Kevin McHale) dealing with is dead dream of being a dancer, but we do get to see Artie out his chair doing a pretty good remix of ‘Safety Dance’.  Its Artie that ends the episode singing ‘Dream a Little Dream’ as sad and depressed like.

In the end Mr. Shu gives his lead role in Les Mis to Bryan in order to keep the glee club and in the ‘Yeah we so guessed this a few months ago‘ moment it is revealed that Indina Menzel’s  ’Shelby Corcoran’ director of Vocal Adrenaline is Rachel Berry’s birth mother and that is the original reason Jesse joined New Direction was to help bring the together.

What we got…a fabulous duet of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Mis between Menzel/Michele.

Check out both ‘Dream On’ and ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ below.
