Neil Patrick Harris: Naked for Rolling Stone!
Neil Patrick Harris covers the new issue of Rolling Stone, but apparently that's the only thing the former How I Met Your Mother star has decided to cover.
Yes, NPH went fully nude for the cover of the iconic magazine in a shot taken by controversial photographer Terry Richardson.
Inside the mag, Neil talks about how coming out and Harold & Kumar have both helped his career.
"Once all the cards were on the table, I got more opportunities than ever," says Harris about revealing that he's gay and announcing his engagement to David Burtka. "Some actors don't get hired because you can't look into their souls and see what they're like, because they're guarded."
Well, the photo above certainly shows us that Neil certainly isn't guarded.
Asked about his career renaissance in the early 2000s, the former child actor openly credits the blazed adventures of two White Castle enthusiasts, saying, "Who knew three days on a funny stoner comedy would alter my track record the way it did?"
These days, NPH can be seen performing on Broadway in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
If you miss Neil as smarmy ladies man Barney Stinson, you can always watch How I Met Your Mother online at TV Fanatic.

Mekhi Phifer Files For Bankruptcy, Owns Segway and Leather Bed at Least
The actor filed for bankruptcy protection late last month, claiming roughly $67,000 in assets and debt totaling around $1.3 million. Yes, $1.3 million.
The actor spends a modest $11,600 in monthly expenses, which is good news at least. The bad news, unfortunately, is that he's pulling in only $7,500.
As for the money he owes, think $1.2 million in back taxes (because why pay taxes on money you earn), $50,000 in legal bills and $4,500 in outstanding child support.
On the bright side, he owns a 12-year-old Segway (valued at $1,500!!!), a surprisingly large collection of firearms and a sweet leather bed. So there's that.

On the fear of aging:
Call me crazy, but I’ve never really understood our culture’s fear of getting older. The way I see it, every year can be a brand new journey.
'Think about it: You get one chance to be 25…38…44…61…and every age before and between. Why wouldn’t you want to experience all the wonder in each step on your path?
'If you’re blessed to enough to grow older, there’s so much wisdom to be gained from celebrating the process with vibrancy and vigour and grace.'
On finally accepting her body:
'One day I literally woke up and thought ''My god, these knees have been with me for 60 years. Wow! I’ve had these elbows for 60 years. My heart has been beating for 60 years. The feet I stand on have carried me for 60 years.’' And when you think about it that way, you can be nothing but grateful.'
Ashanti a New Member of The Money Team Parties With Floyd Mayweather at His Mother’s House
I am so disappointed in Ashanti and her antics…… Getting involved with the drama between Floyd, Miss Jackson and her Ex Nelly!… Floyd is clearly using her to get back at them and she fell for the bait! Floyd’s sister actually let the cat out of the bag….. Even though she was present at the fight… We didn’t know that they actually hung out together after….
Everyone was posting picture showing that they were partying with Floyd… Except for Ashanti..
According to Vlad:
This comes just after Nelly took Floyd’s ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson to a Miami Heat game, sparking romance rumors between the two. Shantel was also the subject of a string of Facebook posts from Mayweather, who claimed that she’s had multiple plastic surgeries on his dime and also aborted their twins.

End Of An Era: Jet Magazine Closes
The magazine, which was founded in 1951, is joining an ever-lengthening list of dying print publications.
Johnson Publishing Company has announced today that Jet will transition to a digital magazine app at the end of June.
Jet has the third-largest circulation in the African-American magazine market with 700,000, behind Ebony and Essence.
“Almost 63 years ago, my father, John Johnson, named the publication Jet because, as he said in the first issue, ‘In the world today, everything is moving faster. There is more news and far less time to read it,’”He could not have spoken more relevant words today. We are not saying goodbye to JET, we are embracing the future as my father did in 1951 and taking it to the next level.”” said Linda Johnson Rice, chairman of JPC
When Johnson premiered Jet in 1951, he had already gained a long history of creating publications targeting the African-American market. He sensed that an African-American publication in the style of Reader’s Digest would be a “black gold mine.” His mother gave him her furniture as collateral for a $500 loan. He used this seed money to publish Negro Digest in 1942. By 1950, he had used his profits to release Tan Magazine, a gossip publication, and, a year later, he produced Jet. After releasing Jet, Johnson went on to publish African American Stars and Ebony Jr.
It was Jet magazine that published photographs of Till, at a time when mainstream media ignored them and the issues they represented. Moments such as these are what inspired Charles Diggs, a former member of Congress, to call Jet’s coverage “one of the greatest media products in the last 40 or 50 years.”
Congratulations! Damita Haddon Ties The Knot And Donnie McClurkin Officiates
Damita Haddon jumped the broom. In an intimate and beautiful ceremony, Damita Haddon was swept off her feet in marital bliss with her happily ever after, professional photographer Reuben Chandler.
They pledged their love in the suburbs of Atlanta on Saturday, May 3rd before close friends and family members. Guests, celebrities, industry legends and some of today’s hottest artist all gathered to offer their blessings to the union. Internationally renowned Gospel legend and pastor Donnie McClurkin officiated the ceremony.
Pastor Donnie McClurkin spoke on this union being of new beginnings and “behold the former things has passed away.” Speaking so elegantly about Damita, while holding back his tears, McClurkin mentioned that the world has not seen the true depth of this amazing woman. “Damita is about to embark into another phase in her life and another level in ministry. The world should pay close attention to this woman because God is about to do some amazing things in her life”, exclaimed McClurkin.
Damita and Reuben first met 12 years ago while both serving at Without Walls International Church in Tampa, Florida. The two reconnected a little more than a year ago while Reuben, who resides in Alabama, was visiting Atlanta.
Damita was previously married to “Preachers of LA” star Deitrick Haddon. The couple quietly divorced in 2011.
The Detroit-bred singer, who started out in a girl group called Adoration ‘N Prayze, said she has never been happier.
Willow Smith-Moises Arias Photo Not an Issue to Will & Jada Pinkett Smith: She's Mature!
Willow Smith is old and mature enough to make her own decisions, according to her parents, who consider her controversial photo with Moises Arias a non-issue.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith trust Willow and say that if her actions don't clearly cross a line - which they feel did not happen here - they won't intervene.
Will and Jada view the now-famous and controversial photo of Willow Smith in bed with 20-year-old actor Moises Arias as innocent fun, and/or artistic expression.
Whatever it is, they really don't care. The Smiths have known Moises Arias for years, and he's best friends with 15-year-old Jaden, who he considers "family."
For those reasons, they have no problems with the photograph.
According to multiple law enforcement sources, there is no problem with it from a legal standpoint. So say local officials who were asked about it by TMZ.
Willow Smith and Moises Arias Many people think it crosses the line ... but lot a legal one.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. and the Indio P.D. both conclude there is nothing "sexual enough" to raise police eyebrows and that no one has complained.
It may be eyebrow-raising or even a little creepy, but it's not criminal and there's likely nothing going on between the two, given the nature of their relationship.
Case closed? At least in the eyes of those who matter, yes. If Will and Jada don't object, and Moises is a close family friend, should anyone else care?
What do you think of Willow's photo with Moises?
“Vice” Scores Two-Season Renewal
While most shows typically find out year-by-year if they’ll survive another season, “Vice” is so infectious that HBO has ordered both Season 3 and Season 4 simultaneously.
Earlier this week, the premium cable network announced that the third run will be comprised of 14 episodes slated to debut in 2015, with a subsequent batch to follow in 2016.
With all of this great news, it seems clear that Shane Smith, Ryan Duffy and Thomas Morton are onto something with their irreverent news magazine series.
Per the synopsis, “Vice explores everything from civil unrest and hotbeds of terrorism to unchecked government corruption and looming environmental catastrophes.”

Lamar Odom Refusing to Sign Divorce Papers
Khloe Kardashian upset over Lamar Odom's refusal to sign their divorce papers.
Nearly five months after Khloé Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom, she’s still a married woman. And now, RadarOnline.com has learned, she’s telling friends that it’s entirely his fault — because he hasn’t filed a response in their divorce!
Over the weekend, Kardashian was in Las Vegas with new boyfriend, rapper,French Montana, and was overheard, saying “how much fun she was having with French,” according to a source.
“It has been ages since Khloé has been going to clubs and just having fun,” the source told Radar. “While Khloé is very happy with French, because he treats her like a queen, she isn’t fully able to enjoy it because Lamar still hasn’t submitted a response in their divorce proceedings.”
The split should have been simple, since the couple have a pre-nup. But ever since Kardashian filed, “Lamar hasn’t been returning phone calls and text messages from Khloé regarding the divorce,” the source said. “He is disappearing for days at a time again, and hanging out with ‘shady’ people.”
But that doesn’t mean he’s cut off contact entirely. As Radar has reported,”
Odom had been “blowing up her phone” lately with “desperate calls” in hopes of a reconciliation, and Kardashian is not pleased.
Now that she’s been spotted out with rapper Montana on the heels of her public partying with The Game, the source claims Odom is getting jealous.
Another source countered, “Lamar knows the marriage is over, but it just isn’t a priority to him, filing the response, and going thru the court proceedings. He just wants to live his life in New York and be left alone.The fact it’s pissing Khloé off that Lamar is holding out, does give him some satisfaction. His ego has taken a huge hit because she is publicly rebounding with French.”
The NBA regular season recently ended and the New York Knicks signed Odom.
The move reunited Odom with former Lakers head coach, Phil Jackson, who recently became the president of the New York Knicks. Odom didn’t see any playing time but the deal would included an unguaranteed second year for next season.
But insiders are skeptical the deal will be a success. Kardashian constantly kept “Lamar on a schedule, and made sure he would make it to meetings with coaches, trainers, agents,” a source said. “Now that she is out of his life, and not doing that, everything has fallen into chaos on Lamar’s life.”

I’m a dog lover. I don’t think they belong shopping in a Walmart, but I’m still a dog lover. However, I just can’t get behind this weird poodle painting art stuff. I doubt it hurts the dogs, except for standing still for 6 hours while you “express yourself” but it just seems unnecessary. I don’t know, what do you guys think?
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
