Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka Talk Twins

Neil Patrick Harris has been in New York for several weeks, hard at work preparing for his hosting gig at Sunday%E2%80%99s Tony Awards. His partner, David Burtka, is with him at their Harlem home, and they%E2%80%99re showing the couple%E2%80%99s 8-month-old twins, Gideon and Harper, the city. "They%E2%80%99re enjoying New York; they%E2%80%99re able to wander more here than in L.A. This is more of a walking town, so we%E2%80%99ve strapped on the Baby Bj%C3%B6rns plenty of times, and they like to see all that there is to see here,%E2%80%9D Harris told us at the premiere of Company, the film of the concert version of Stephen Sondheim's musical.

Burtka, a chef and an actor, has been attending to his own business affairs while in town, but he filled us in on the family stuff at the premiere. "I've been taking care of a lot of babies, as you know, so I spend a lot of my days doing that. And we've been going out to dinner; we%E2%80%99ve seen almost every Broadway show there is," he said. "They love it, but it%E2%80%99s hard with their schedule because they%E2%80%99re up for two hours, down for two hours. It just keeps going on. They%E2%80%99re sleeping six hours during the day and then twelve hours at night. So it's hard to get them out and socialize a lot, you know? You%E2%80%99ve got that two-hour window. We go to the park and lunch and things like that."

So do the babies scream in public places like restaurants? "They are the most fantastic kids," Burtka said. "We have been blessed with two perfect little angels. Happy and sleeping, and it's a godsend. We%E2%80%99re thrilled."

Of course, they have help. "We brought a nanny as well, because, you know, I need some time for my things going on as well," Burtka told us. "But she%E2%80%99s great." Even out of Los Angeles, that nanny's life must be pretty surreal. When NPH and Burtka took the family out to the Hamptons, they stayed with their "friends Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos," naturally.

"Even out of Los Angeles, that nanny's life must be pretty surreal. When NPH and Burtka took the family out to the Hamptons, they stayed with their "friends Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos," naturally."

Trust me, nannies in that circle find it anything but surreal. Seeing how celebs who go on and on about how they live for their children actually spend about 10% of their time with them doesn't make for starstruck awe amongst the people who are actually raising their children for them.

Also, Burtka is the least charismatic, worst actor I've ever seen on a stage. How he had the brief but high-level career he had is a testament to what must be a pretty spectacular cock.

I notice straight guys respects him..most of them find gay guys on tv really annoying but he's diffrent. Here's some of the comments I found on youtube and other places.%0D %0D %0D %0D "The only gay man%EF%BB%BF that straight men want."%0D %0D "The dudes gay it's not like that's his entire essence of%EF%BB%BF existence he just gets horny from males! He was funny in H and K 2"%0D %0D "Neil Patrick Harris. So manly only a man%EF%BB%BF will do for him"%0D %0D "I was really suprised%EF%BB%BF to learn he was gay lol now hes even more AWESOME!!"%0D %0D "he is the only openly gay man that can make you think hes the worlds biggest womanizer.%EF%BB%BF"%0D %0D "He's so%EF%BB%BF manly, he doesnt want a woman all smooth and feminin, he fucks men"%0D %0D "The worst day of my life was when i found out he was gay my whole%EF%BB%BF life felt like a lie, but after time i have gotten over it"

They're ALWAYS talking twins. Those two have turned into a couple of fucking frauen. Do they have time to bump pussies when the pwecious wittle babies are fast asleep? Blech.

by Anonymousreply 5June 9, 2011 9:35 PM

They're only eight months old. How much socializing do they expect them to do?%0D %0D And if I were Burtka, I'd tell Neil to curb the bullshit. There's no reason for Neil to be hosting the tonys. I'd tell him to get his ass home and look after those kids.

by Anonymousreply 6June 9, 2011 9:43 PM

Why shouldn't Neil be hosting the Tonys, r6? He has David and nanny looking after the twins, and he's the breadwinner.

R6

If David had enough talent to be employed then there would be a reason for Harris to be doing someone of the nannying.

I like Burtka and Harris a lot, but enough about the twins.%0D %0D To R3: I've seen Burtka in two plays and a musical. He's not a great actor, perhaps average. You must not have seen many stage performances if you think he's the worst ever.

The boy twin is Neil's and girl twin is David's.

Reading Neil's and David's tweets since they arrived in New York. Neil is always politically correct. %0D %0D David tweets about how tired he is talking care of twins all day. He also complains about the heat, and how hot his balls are all the time. To be fair, most of his comments are positive%0D %0D This round to David-

David's hot.

by Anonymousreply 25June 11, 2011 6:50 PM

To R23 from R21: I like both NPH and David Burtka, like them a lot. But, NPH's tweets are all in praise of the Broadway shows they have seen on this trip. %0D %0D David's tweets are more real. He tweets that he's all showed out, and misses his faily in Michigan after a brief visit home. The day after he talked about his sweating balls, Burtka tweets that it's even hotter and his balls have fallen off.%0D %0D Just because I'm having fun discussing their tweets does not mean I am jealous. Hey, Harris is the host of the Tony Awards tomorrow. Burtka has a little more freedom to be honest.

Both of them are just average looking. I don't get all the "hot" talk.

Burtka seems to have given up his career for Harris. He used to work pretty regularly up until they got together.

[quote]I need adult contact! Staying home all day with kids is grand and all, but it becomes a little rote.

Didn't he get some of that when he was in the booth at Bedlam with Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and Anderson Cooper's muscle man partner Ben last week at Bedlam?

He's complaining about being a daddy all over his twitter page. I wonder how long will he manage it before walking out on hubby and kids.

by Anonymousreply 36June 12, 2011 10:08 AM

I doubt that will happen, R36. They have a nanny so he can go out and socialize every once in a while.

[R37] Then what the hell is he whining about?

by Anonymousreply 38June 12, 2011 4:09 PM

Why do they need a nanny when Burtka does nothing? What the hell is he doing all day that he can't take care of the kids?

by Anonymousreply 39June 12, 2011 4:36 PM

Like any housefrau, r38, he's complaining about not having adult contact during the day. By the way, I don't see the whole "complaining all over his Twitter page." He said it was hard work twice.

by Anonymousreply 40June 12, 2011 4:38 PM

r39 Exactly! There are plenty of "regular" people in the world that have twins that don't have the luxury of a nanny, so what's he bitching about? If you want kids, then be prepared to give up a lot of freedom. Simple as that.

by Anonymousreply 41June 12, 2011 4:45 PM

At least Burtka's tweets sound like honest expressions of his feelings, unlike others who tweet including NPH. %0D %0D Today he ask for suggestions about what to get NPH for his birthday on Wednesday. Earlier he wrote very positive things about "A Normal Heart," being homesick for him family in Michigan, and thanked people for their greetings on his own birthday.%0D %0D How can you dislike a guy who tweets about how much his balls sweat in the New York heat...unless that guy is a member of Congress from Queens/Brooklyn.%0D %0D

by Anonymousreply 42June 12, 2011 6:01 PM

r4 those are not straight guy posting those comments. Have you actually met a straight guy? They don't talk like that.

"Neil Patrick Harris. So manly only a man will do for him" was posted by a woman who is named Michelle according to her youtube account, "The only gay%EF%BB%BF man that straight men want." came from a queeny guy with a pronounced lisp, and so on.
