Need more Ozzy

I've been asked, from time to time, who my favorite actor and actress are. And while I've never really been able to answer that question definitively, one thespian that has always been near the top of my list is Christopher Walken.

I have always been able to say with confidence, however, that Ozzy Osbourne is a living God. So I think it's apparent why the following bit of news tickled my fancy.

Christopher Walken has agreed to play the ultimate bad-boy rocker -- Ozzy Osbourne. Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil told ABC News Radio in an exclusive interview that the 63-year-old Oscar-winning actor will make a cameo appearance as Osbourne in "The Dirt", a movie based on the band's controversial 2001 autobiography. "How funny is that going to be," Neil told ABC's Al Mancini at the opening of Vince Neil Ink, the singer's new tattoo parlor in Las Vegas. Walken's press representatives did not immediately return a call to ABCNews.com for comment.

And no, the character Walken played in the famous SNL "more cowbell" skit, Bruce Dickinson, was not the Iron Maiden lead singer of the same name.

OH DOOGIE, SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

Sure, I've been known to make the occasional gay joke -- hell, I'll joke about anything -- but truth be told, I'm one of the least homophobic straight men you will ever meet.

I applaud gay rights, I support gay marriage, hell, I even love Broadway shows and musicals, and "Rent" is even my favorite of them all.

My philosophy has always been that people should be able to do whatever they want to whoever they want (assuming they're a consenting adult) in whatever hole they want, as long as they don't get any on me.

But when Neil Patrick Harris came out of the closet this week, well, that threw me for a loop.

Doogie Howser, MD likes the cock?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!

How does Wanda feel about this? Does Vinny know?! No wonder Doogie never hooked up with Nurse Spaulding!

These days, NPH plays a womanizing bachelor on the hit sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." I've never seen the show -- I don't really watch much TV outside of sports, The Daily Show and the wonderful offerings of HBO -- but it looks like something I would enjoy.

This cat is obviously a hell of an actor because he might have been the last guy I would have though took it up the pooper. Hell, he made his comeback by playing an Ex'd out cooze-hunting parody of himself on one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years, "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle."

When asked by Kumar if he ever hooked up with Wanda off the set, NPH replied, "Dude, I humped every piece of ass on that show."

Here's another great exchange from the film:

NPH: "Forget White Castle. Let's go get some pussy."
KUMAR: "Huh?"NPH: "It's a fuckin' sausage-fest in here. Let's get us some poontang. Then we'll go to White Castle."KUMAR: "No, Neil, you don't understand. We've been craving these burgers all night."NPH: "Yeah, I've been craving burgers, too... fur burgers. Come on, dudes, let's pick upsome trim at a strip club. The Doogie line always works on strippers."
Great shit.
