MEG RYAN GETS THE JOB DONE IN SENSIBLE SHOES

Meg Ryan looks more like a no nonsense New Yorker than a movie star when she’s running her errands. She loves living in the city and is probably relieved that her new job on the spin-off series “How I Met Your Dad” can be accomplished right where she is. She is the unseen narrator who happens to be the older version of Greta Gerwig’s character. (The role is like Bob Saget’s in “How I Met Your Mother.”) Meg is also directing a film next year called “Ithaca” and her 22 year old son son Jack is starring.

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS CAN’T WAIT TO GET HOME TO HIS TWINS

There was a time when “How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris wouldn’t think of missing a party, but fatherhood changes everything. Neil and his partner David Burtka welcomed surrogate twins – Gideon and Harper – a year and a half ago, and his priorities have obviously shifted. (The kids are just starting to form words.) Neil had a cameo in the American Reunion movie so he was at the premier and our nosey spy noticed him texting David before the film started. As soon as the film ended Neil texted David again saying “I’ll skip the after-party – be home soon!” like a dutiful and domesticated dad! (Photo above from Halloween)

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WHEN BRITNEY APPEARED ON "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER"

Okay, so Britney upped the ratings on “How I Met Your Mother” and she seemed to do a decent job of acting. BUT we’re hearing that the whole episode was aggravating for everyone on the set. An insider on the show revealed that Britney’s cameo caused havoc. The usually peaceful set was invaded by bodyguards stationed everywhere, detaining all who entered. Everyone on the set, -crew, extras etc – even the actors- were expected to wear WRISTBANDS for access to their own show! (It didn’t set well with the show’s stars.) Photographers were perched on roofs, in the parking structure, and surrounded the set. Helicopters buzzed overhead. Most of the actors on the show never even met Britney because she was always surrounded by beefy security. They heaved a sigh of relief when she left. Anyone seeking to hire Britney has to factor in this stressful chaos and upheaval that follows wherever she goes. Is it worth it?
