NPH Sweeps The Clouds Away As The Shoe Fairy On 'Sesame Street'
Posted by Mark Graham at 11:00 AM on July 24, 2008
· Ever since Neil Patrick Harris warned told the world back in February that he would be appearing as The Shoe Fairy on an episode of Sesame Street, we have been waiting for the mystical unicorn rider to appear on our local PBS affiliate. Fortunately for all of us, our long wait is now over. And while we are slightly sad to report that this clip does not have him uttering the line "I am the greatest fairy in all the land" (that bon mot must've landed on the cutting room floor), we have better news to share. Prepare yourselves for ... a musical number! [Sesame Street]
· While we were excited to introduce you to young Levi Alves McConaughey earlier today, a closer look at the photos shows that America's youngest stoner is already developing some rippling abs! [Best Week Ever]
· In the upcoming remake of Friday The 13th, Jason Voorhees has a mullet. This does not bode well. [Friday The 13th Blog]
· Is the bloom off Joss Whedon's rose? We'll always love and revere him for BtVS, but after getting feedback from the suits at Fox about the pilot episode he shot for Dollhouse, he's going back to the drawing board to rescript and reshoot the whole damn thing. [Vulture]
· Thankfully, this season's TCA press tour has come to a close. THR's James Hibberd put together an easy-to-digest recap, which features this refreshingly honest description from the EP of the new Crash television series about how his show will differ from its Academy Award winning source material: "I didn't want the series to feel somber. Or didactic. Or heavy handed. This is a fun show. The show is not bleak. Or depressing." We're sure Paul Haggis would agree. [The Live Feed]

Dr. Horrible has made him invulnerable to any 'fairy' joke you can muster sir.
A Singing Shoe Fairy he may be. But Dr. Horrible's freeze ray is strong. "How strong?" you might ask.
That strong.

Fox execs screwing with a Joss Whedon pilot before it airs? Unheard of!

I thought NPH was a little scrunched into size 10s in the Sesame Street clip. I'll continue to walk in my Dr. Horrible stilettos.

I think I may now start following NPH as a disciple - The Order of the Unicorn Shoe. The robes are drab but the heels are fabulous.

I thought this was better than any of the songs in Dr. Horrible. And I'm not just mad because they ripped off the Silver Sparrow. Okay, yeah, I'm just mad because of that.

Someone please make this into a full-length movie. And then for the sequel, NPH can do a dance-off with the Beverly Hills Chihuahua for control of free world, yes?

@snarkordie: I totally thought the same thing...except in my brain it was "hey, isn't that Jessica Simpson's little sister's husband?"
