Sebastian Arcelus and Kate Reinders

So did I, meffie. That Sondheim thing is a rumor, from what I've heard...

---

If true, good for Sondheim. The casting couch is alive and well.

---

Yeah, I just noticed that. She's stepmother to David Cassidy.

I agree, but in a weird way, I think the Sondheim/NPH pairing is hotter.

---

DB is great looking, no question. Did anyone here see him in the play about the baby?

Not that it means anything, but I noticed that Neil Patrick Harris is playing a role in an upcoming pilot for a sit com on CBS. The main character is played by Josh Radnor. As many of you know, Josh and Neil played lovers in The Paris Letter and spent a good few minutes on stage nude together (sorry I missed it!!).

It started me wondering if Neil and Josh might have a little romance going and if maybe David Burtka is out of the picture. Of course, maybe this doesn't mean anything but it is always fun to speculate.

Here is the info on the pilot in case you are interested:

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (CBS) - Neil Patrick Harris ("Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle") and Jason Segel ("Freaks and Geeks") have both joined the cast of the comedy pilot, about the exploits of a single man (Josh Radnor), as told through his own eyes 20 years later. They'll play Barney and Marshall respectively in the 20th Century Fox Television-based project, which also stars Alyson Hannigan. Carter Bays, Craig Thomas and Rob Greenberg are the executive producers.

Pilot scheduled to tape at warner bros. studios on thursday, april 7 at 6:00 p.m. p.s.t.
(3/9/05)
