Neil Patrick Harris to Replace Carpinello in Xanadu?

Per Kelly Ripa (oh, about three seconds ago), Neil Patrick Harris is supposedly in talks to step in to replace their mutual friend James Carpinello in Xanadu, following his freak roller-skating accident.

Saw this rumor online too. I don't think it'll happen, personally

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

That would be great!

Jack: For your information, most people who meet me do not know that I am gay. Will: Jack, blind and deaf people know you're gay. Dead people know you're gay. Jack: Grace, when you first met me, did you know I was gay? Grace: My dog knew.

I'm kind of under a rock here - how did Carpinello break his foot? Was it related to the show, perhaps during a rehearsal?

Harris could fill in for Carpinello during the summer while his current TV sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother," is on hiatus.

NPH has that show on lock-he'll move it to NY if he feels like it. Just kidding.

don't know if it'll happen but wish it will. Harris would be a hoot in this and I've been very impressed with his previous stage work. I hope I could see him in it.

Oh, Riedel..

"Carpinello broke his foot just as he was warning some cast members to be careful about skating on certain parts of the set.

"He was saying, 'You've have to watch out for this,' and then he went down," a production source says."

....This is exactly why this musical was, perhaps, NOT the most brilliant idea. I doubt that'll be the only injury we hear about during the run.

Cheyenne sounds like a more permanent, realistic possibility.
