Neil Patrick Harris says an 'exclusive' National Enquirer cover story alleging that he and fiance David Burtka have called off their wedding is false.

'The Nat Enq is cray cray,' the actor tweeted late Wednesday (27 February) 'We’ve never had a wedding date, just engaged (Prop 8 and all).'

When Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka met and fell in love, each was appearing in a Broadway show - Harris in Assassins and Burtka in Gypsy.

They moved to Los Angeles when Harris landed the role of Barney Stinson on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother which remains a big hit in its eighth season.

But Harris says once the show ends its run, the couple and their children, Gideon and Harper, will return to their theater roots.

Neil Patrick Harris seems to be very good with time management.

The star of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother always seems to be able to squeeze in movie (Harold & Kumar, Smurfs), stage (Company) and award show (Tonys) gigs around his series schedule and life with partner David Burtka and their young twins.

Harris, 39, has just announced that he is bringing the sleight of hand magic show Nothing to Hide to the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Neil Patrick Harris, already juggling work on television, in movies and on the stage, is also busy writing a book that will be published in 2014.

The two-time Emmy winner's book is so far untitled but it is a memoir of sorts described as 'imaginative non-fiction that delivers an interactive, non-linear reading experience.'

'I'm excited to be writing a book of the observations and stories of my life,' Harris said in a statement from publisher Crown Archetype.

When Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka first began dating in 2004, they were a couple of New York-based actors appearing in Broadway shows.

Harris may have been famous for his role as a teenager in the ABC series Doogie Howser MD but at that time, he was having greater success on the stage in such shows as Assassins, Cabaret and Proof.

Meanwhile, Burtka was starring in the musical The Opposite of Sex and had made his Broadway debut in 2003 in the Bernadette Peters-led production of Gypsy.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey to air Sunday (3 June) on OWN, Neil Patrick Harris admits that when twins Harper and Gideon were first born, it was his partner David Burtka who took the lead in the maternal department.

'Yeah I didn’t love the first 6-9 months,' Harris admits. 'And I struggled with it a lot.'

When the twins, now 18 months, were first born and crying, Harris didn’t know what was wrong and was often unable to soothe them.

It wasn't Oprah or Barbara Walters who got Elton John to open up in a recent interview about being bullied as an adult by some people in his professional life.

It was David Burtka, now a correspondent for E! Entertainment, who got the Rocket Man to share certain details from his painful past for the first time.

Neil Patrick Harris, who last year opened the Tony Awards telecast with the musical number Broadway's Not Just for Gays Anymore, will return as the show's host for the third time.

It was announced on Tuesday (3 April) that Harris will be back at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre to preside over the ceremony honoring Broadway's best on June 10.

Harris, who first hosted in 2009 and won an Emmy Award for his efforts, will also once again be one of the show's producers.

Neil Patrick Harris has been busy this week making a series of appearances to promote a new M&M's character named Mrs. Brown.

Still, the two-time Emmy winner and longtime star of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother says he is being more choosy about accepting work that takes him away from partner David Burtka and their twins.

Actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka may be one of the highest-profile gay relationships in the world, but they don't want to be thought of as the perfect couple.

Regis Philbin was never shy about sharing his man crushes during the more than 10 years he spent sitting alongside Kelly Ripa on their popular morning show.

Now that Philbin has retired and the show is now called 'Life With Kelly,' Ripa is finding that some of her guest hosts have man crushes too.

Neil Patrick Harris, who guest hosted the first post-Regis week last month, obviously has more than a man crush on fiance David Burtka. But who knew that this week's guest host, Michael Buble, is crushing on Robert Downey Jr.
