American Idol: Neil Patrick Harris Replaces Paula Abdul

Is there nothing Doogie Hauser can not do? A few months ago I saw Neil Patrick Harris be a food judge on Top Chef. Which would seem to indicate he has one of those refined palates some people are blessed with.

Apparently, the How I Met Your Mother star's musical expertise comes from having sung on Broadway in Cabaret and Sweeney Todd.

Yesterday Neil Patrick Harris was here, in Dallas, replacing Paula Abdul at auditions, that I think actually did not take place in Dallas, but instead took place in Arlington, at the new Dallas Cowboy stadium.

After Paula Abdul's shocking exit from American Idol due to producers refusing to meet her money demands, those same producers have been scrambled to come up with familiar faces to replace Ms. Abdul.

The familiar faces include Mary J. Blige, Shania Twain, David Beckham's wife and Katy Perry. With the former Doogie Hauser the latest in the lineup.

On another note, nothing to do with American Idol, I think Neil Patrick Harris' How I Met Your Mother sit-com is very funny, with he being the funniest of the funny people on it.
