GoldDerby has the scoop on Glee's submissions this year for the Primetime Emmy Awards. The show is expected to contend in many categories after its freshman season snagged 19 nominations and won 4 awards including Supporting Actress in a Comedy (Jane Lynch), Guest Actor in a Comedy (Neil Patrick Harris) and Directing in a Comedy (Ryan Murphy). The show did however lose Best Comedy Series to Modern Family. Can it avenge that loss this year?

Also, many pundits advised Chris Colfer to submit himself as a Lead Actor given his prominence in the sophomore season, his red hot buzz, his recent Golden Globe win, and the paucity of strong contenders in the Lead Actor category this year. However, Colfer has opted to remain in the Supporting Actor category, where he was nominated last year (and lost to Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet). Here's how the rest of the cast has been submitted:

TV Guide is reporting  David Burtka has been cast in E!’s new talk show, Foursome.  The Neil Patrick Harris paramour and baby-daddy will be opening up about his love life pre-NPH, along with three other co-hosts, on the new sex-themed chatfest.  While conversations might touch on his relationship with the How I Met Your Mother funnyman, it will primarily focus on Burtka’s earlier personal life, he says,  

I have quite the past….  I have lots of stories to talk about.

I smell another media tour coming... How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris  made his New Year's resolution on Twitter and made a little reference to his war of words involving The Young and the Restless' Eric Braeden. Harris stated:

Neil's New Year Resolutions, Part 3: Try not to insult aged soap stars, especially when you're on the same network.

The tiff between The Young and the Restless' Eric Braeden and How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris just got even nastier. The Y&R actor spoke with The Hollywood Reporter yesterday stating that Harris could:

"get his teeth knocked in for that kind of nonsense."
 

Huh... Braeden admits he bowed out of the guest starring role due to being tired from the work at Y&R and hip surgery, but also reveals he was given few lines on the primetime show:

"Two lines, I don't do that for anyone."

Oh, no he didn't! Seems like Eric Braeden is still peeved about How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris hoe-checking him on Twitter. The Young and the Restless star spoke with The New York Times about Harris' tweet saying:

[He] needs a little spanking, that one.
