Congrats NPH

So this isn't new news but I wanted to congratulate Neil Patrick Harris a.k.a. Barney as being named one of Entertainment Weekly's Top 25 Entertainers of the Year. The top honor went to Robert Downey Jr. (apparently you have to have three names to make the list).

Though Tina Fey was on the list, I thought she blew everyone away with not only "30 Rock" but her stint as everyone's favorite hockey mom ("Baby Mama" made a decent rental). 2008 was definitely her year. I bet EW's editors had already choosen Downey before Sarah Palin hit the scene.

But back to NPH . . .

In addition to "How I Met Your Mother", EW applauds Harris' return as himself in the "Harold & Kumar" sequal and his role in Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." I haven't seen the "Harold & Kumar" (the first one wasn't that great) and I haven't catch "Dr. Horrible" yet. Still, solely based on his role as everyone's favorite womanizer (Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass should take note), Harris deserved this title. Oh yeah, and for those hilarious Old Spice ads.



Jason Segel deserves some entertainer props too for also starring and writing "How to Forget Sarah Marshall," one of the funniest movies this year.
