The Early Show Asks Neil Patrick Harris About Kate Gosselin’s Mullet For Some Reason

The most charming celebrity, Neil Patrick Harris, was on CBS's Early Show this morning to speak briskly about his Tony-hosting gig and about getting advice from Whoopi Goldberg and Hugh Jackman. The funniest part was when they showed a picture of a makeup-and-tattoo-covered, very serious-looking NPH In Cabaret ("I had to dye my underarm hair blue-black for six months"), but the weirdest part was when they showed him a picture of how he would look with Kate from Jon And Kate Plus 8's terrible haircut.

Why did they think NPH would care? And it's sort of paparazzi-like that they're asking unrelated celebrities to comment on the Jon And Kate scandal. Also, I totally think they asked him about that show because they think because he's gay he must watch TLC all the time, which is a harmful stereotype. It was great how he basically completely dismissed the show, though. Fight the Jon And Kate Plus 8 power, Doogie.
