Neil Patrick Harris didn’t specifically address the rumors that he and his partner, David Burtka, were having a child via surrogate, but in a statement to PEOPLE he said, “We are not currently expecting a baby. Maybe someday…”

There you go. Neil Patrick Harris won’t be tied down nor will he have to pay $500 to “take care” of the problem.

Neil Patrick Harris, who ironically plays a completely straight character on How I Met Your Mother, and his partner David Burtka are looking to have a baby via surrogate much like Sarah Jessica Parker. The birth will be much easier in this case because doctors don’t have to worry about hooves coming out.

In fact, the two are using the same agency for this as Parker and Broderick did for their twins.

“Neil and David were so relieved and excited once they were approved,” says the source. “Now they have so many surrogate profiles to go through to find the right woman to carry their child.”

“Neil and David can’t wait to hold their baby; they don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. They just want a healthy child.”

I wonder who’s sperm they’re going to use, Neil’s or David’s. You know once that kid turns into a teenager they’re going to play the “you’re not my real father” card. Also, if the one not genetically linked to the baby gets cold feet after seeing it bust out of the surrogate’s vagina like Jack Nicholson through the door in The Shining, he can wipe his hands like the blackjack dealers in Vegas and say “I’m out.”

Amid this weeks rumors and denials of Neil Patrick Harris’ gayness, he issued a statement today saying he is indeed gay.

“The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships.

“So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love.”

The last thing I remember him doing was Harold and Kumar where he was snorting coke off a naked stripper’s ass. That was awesome and it’s nice to know that if I’m ever hanging out with him and that actually happens, the stripper will default to me. Sweet.
