• Neil Patrick Harris will provide the voice of the villain in the upcoming game Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. (Matt Hazard will be voiced by Will Arnett.) You can see him talk about his character here (it’s the fourteenth segment on the timeline), and he was in this promo for Game Trailers TV.
• TV Guide got a quote from Carter Bays about Alyson’s pregnancy.
• Alyson Hannigan walks, drinks something orange.
• Variety’s Season Pass will be talking to Craig Thomas and Carter Bays – you can submit  questions until the end of Sunday. [Thanks to cashewdani!]
• Events you probably can get into: Josh Radnor will appear in Don’t Quit Your Night Job on October 30 in New York.
• Events you probably can’t get into: Neil Patrick Harris will appear in A Fine Romance on November 8 in Los Angeles.

You guys, I will be so glad when Monday’s episode airs and I can stop treating every scrap of information about the episode like it’s a major spoiler. But since it hasn’t aired yet: Two batches of links! The first batch contains no Shelter Island spoilers.

• Jamie-Lynn Sigler has signed on to play Jillian in 4.08. Spoiler level: Nothing new for those of you who read yesterday’s post, nothing major for those of you who didn’t. He just does the whole “Sigler will play Jillian, who is…” thing, and it’s a) not entirely correct, so far as I know, and b) not very spoilery at all.
  
• Greg Malins is making a pilot for ABC.
• Jason Segel will be on Live with Regis and Kelly on October 27. [Thanks to Shermie for the tip.]
• Sarah Chalke will be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on October 22.
• A self-employed prestidigitator [look it up] named Neil Harris contributed to No on 8. [Proposition 8 would undo California's legalization of gay marriage.]
• Auction! A TiVo HD, signed by Neil Patrick Harris [and some other celebrities from Stand Up To Cancer, which is what the auction is for]. It comes with a year’s subscription to TiVo.
• Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof get stalked by paparazzi in Santa Monica.
• TV Week interviewed the co-chairs of Twentieth Century Fox [the studio that produces HIMYM] – mostly industry stuff, with a few mentions of the show and how the studio feels about it.

And everything in the second batch contains some degree of spoiler for the episode:

• Watch With Kristin analyzes the various relationships on the show. Quotes from the cast and some spoilers for 4.05, 4.07 and 4.08, but none of them are new.
• Zap2It was on set when they filmed 4.05. So was IGN! Both have a lot of quotes from Josh and Sarah, as well as some new information.
• Also on set: The LA Times, who did a piece on Pam Fryman. Quotes from some of the cast, some minor new information about the episode.

• According to Just Jared, Josh Radnor is in the October issue of the LA Times magazine – it’s unclear whether it’s just that one quote or if there’s a full interview. Anyone got a copy handy?
• Television Without Pity interviewed Craig Thomas. It’s a great interview, lots of information – if you’re concerned about spoilers, I would say it’s safe. He does talk about upcoming episodes, but it’s all very general, and the most specific he gets is saying who Jason Jones will play.
• New photo of Neil.
• You have until Saturday to apply to join the Evil League of Evil. MTV.com has an article on the process.
• On October 24, Neil Patrick Harris will participate in the unveiling of Harry Houdini’s renovated star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
• CBS is testing out an interactive video site – basically, while watching full episodes online, you can comment on them with others who are watching, compete in trivia contests, and throw tomatos at (or blow kisses to) the characters onscreen. Currently the only episode available (for all of CBS, not just How I Met Your Mother) is The Best Burger in New York.
• BuddyTV has put up the next video from their set visit a few weeks ago – this one’s a Jason Segel interview.

[Spoilers: Jason doesn't say anything spoilery, but while he's answering the Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Chalke questions, they show some video of Sarah, Jason, and Alyson shooting scenes for an upcoming episode.]

Going rapid-fire with this, because six posts in a day is ridiculous enough as it is:

• More syndication talk for those who find it interesting, more analysis than new information.
• BuddyTV visited the set.
• Bid on a walk-on role on the show, along with the chance to meet the cast and get some signed goodies.
• SheKnows interviews Neil Patrick Harris.
• Interview with Nicholas Stoller that clarifies the relationship [or lack thereof] between Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Five Year Engagement, and Get Him to the Greek, plus a Muppet mention.
• Great video of the cast at last week’s CBS premiere party. [Thanks to Meg!]

• Although Twentieth Century Fox will continue to make syndication deals over the next few months, the major markets are taken care of. [Variety]
• If you’ll be home Friday morning, prepare yourself for a lot of TV watching – Neil’s going to be on Ellen, and Alyson’s on Bonnie Hunt’s new talk show.
• There’s a new trailer out for the upcoming game Saints Row 2 – it showcases the game’s celebrity voice actors, including Neil Patrick Harris. [Kotaku]
• Neil might be the narrator for Disney World’s Candlelight Processional for a few shows in early December.
• The A.V. Club interviewed Neil.

Monday, September 8: Neil Patrick Harris
Thursday, September 18: Jason Segel
Friday, September 19: Josh Radnor

[By the way, Amazon's currently got a sale on S2 and S3 of Doogie Howser - both sets are $12.99. S4 is also on sale for $15.99, and S1 is at its normal Amazon price of $21.99.]

According to MTV, the soundtrack to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will be available on iTunes on September 2.

• Variety looks at the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy nominees.
• Neil is scheduled to attend a Creative Coalition concert at the Republican National Convention. [Creative Coalition is a nonpartisan group based in the entertinment industry that focuses on artistic concerns.]
• Segel HairWatch: STILL NO SIGN. We can only hope that a haircut came at some point in the past two months.

I’m FINALLY getting around to the individual cast/project pages – they’ll be accessible from the ‘cast’ tab at the top of the page. I’ve started out with Cobie and her movie The Slammin’ Salmon, which you can read about here, but keep an eye out for more – the section will be expanding all the time.

• NPH did an interview with Out Magazine.
• Neil Patrick Harris on NPR’s Fresh Air [August 1]
• A clip from Buffy: The Animated Series, which never made it to air, appeared on YouTube – Alyson Hannigan voices Willow.
• Jana Rugan and Timothy Russo, the couple who got engaged during the taping of Something Blue, got married. [Thanks, Carrie!]
• Josh and Neil are scheduled to perform at this year’s Hot In Hollywood AIDS benefit on August 16 – you can get a feel for the event and, if you’ll be in LA, ticket information, here.
• Neil’s episode of Sesame Street will air on August 12, according to UPI. In addition to the already-posted clip from the episode, he can be seen headbanging with Elmo in this celebrity promo for the new season.
• There’s a decent chance we’ll see a Harold and Kumar 3.
• Gloria Calderon Kellett has created a web series called Get Ripped.
• Hallmark has signed a deal that will allow it to make greeting cards featuring certain Fox properties, including HIMYM. I’m not positive that the new line of cards will include HIMYM designs, but they have the option now, so we could be seeing some in the next month or so.
