Neil Patrick Harris earned his first-ever Emmy Awards at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles for his guest spot on "Glee" and for hosting the 63rd Annual Tony Awards.




Harris' Emmys are the first in his decades-long television career. He is also nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy series for "How I Met Your Mother." That award will be handed out at next Sunday's Primetime Emmy Awards.

When accepting his guest actor prize Saturday, Harris congratulated fellow "Glee" nominee Mike O'Malley for his work on the show, and thanked his partner, David Burtka. For his Tony win, Harris said, "I want to thank Boomer from The Envelope who told me I was even eligible for this award!" The actor was referring to a gaffe discovered by the Los Angeles Times that excluded him from the original nominees' list.

Gleek Alert! Rumors have been flying in recent weeks that Matthew Morrison – who plays Glee club director Mr. Will Schuester on “Glee” – will shave his head in the upcoming Britney Spears tribute episode, something Jane Lynch confirmed to Access Hollywood last week. Those plans, however, may have changed.

AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman caught up with the stars of “Glee” at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night and found out the shearing scene may be off.

Heather Morris, who plays cheerleader Brittany on the wildly popular show, told Laura that the entire plan may be nixed now that the shaving secret got out.

“I guess they’re deciding not to do it now because it was kind of supposed to be like the surprise, you know,” Heather said. “Then [executive producer] Ryan [Murphy] got wind that everybody found out and he was like, ‘I don’t think we can do it anymore because now it’s out.’ “

If Ryan decides to keep the scene, and clippers are required for Will, Matthew told Access that he’d actually shave his head, instead of using a bald cap.

“I’d have to shave it ‘cause then it wouldn’t make sense with the rest of the series,” Matthew said.

Gleeks needn’t worry though – Matthew said that he’ll still be a sexy Schuester, bald or not.

“I’m so hot,” he said, jokingly. “I did it a couple of years ago for a movie and I like it.”

Heather said she too would be up for the hair-free treatment.

“Maybe they’ll have my character do it. Maybe they’ll have Brittany shave her head,” Heather laughed.

The blond noted, however, that she wouldn’t say goodbye to her lengthy locks for the potential scene.

“I would do the bald cap,” she added.

In related news, “Glee’s” Harry Shum, Jr. confirmed to Laura that fans can expect to hear Britney hits “Toxic,” “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” “Oops, I Did It Again,” and possibly “I’m A Slave 4 U.”

“I think there’s going to be some homage to costumes of Britney music videos,” Harry added. “I’m excited to see that — those costumes are epic!”

The "Glee" geek has a big date with Katy Perry for the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. Get a behind-the-scenes look at what he'll wear.

Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell are bringing in the numbers for ABC Family!

Their new series, Pretty Little Liars, claimed the No. 1 show on TV in Female Teens, topping the season finale of FOX’s Glee.

PLL now stands as cable’s No. 1 original series debut of the 2009/10 season in Females 12-34, topping MTV’s Teen Mom and Hard Times of RJ Berger in the key demo.

The upcoming Britney Spears Glee tribute episode may have been the pop star’s management's own idea, but the singer herself will not be appearing in it.

“Britney’s not in it,” Jane Lynch told reporters today at her wax figure unveiling at Madame Tussaud’s in Hollywood, Calif. “It’s a tribute to her music.”

Even though Spears herself will be absent from the episode, Lynch promises that tales from entertainer’s real life will be tied into the show’s storyline.

One of our all-time favorite tales, in fact.

“It’s kind of [about] how Matt [Morrison]‘s character Mr. Schuster doesn’t see any value in her and the kids really do,” she says. “And at the end [of the episode], he comes around and he likes [her music] so much, he shaves his head.”

Who would have guessed Britney shaving her head would one day inspire an episode of a Fox comedy about a glee club. You can't make this stuff up.

On the subjects of Spears and Glee, her ex Justin Timberlake has been rumored to appear on the series also ... and also isn't likely to actually do so.

“I love him,” the show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy, who also wrote the screenplay for Eat, Pray, Love, told reporters last week at TCA. “But I think somebody just said, ‘Do you want him?’ And I think Lea [Michele] said, ‘He’s my favorite.’"

"Suddenly, he was on the show.”

Too bad he won't be in person ... but there's always room for some *NSync adaptions, are we right? Actually no, let's say bye, bye bye to that idea.
