The Doogie Howser/Victor Newman Bitch Fight Lives On!
Neil Patrick Harris took a swipe at the bow tie permanently fixed on the neck of Eric Braeden (who has played Victor Newman on Young and the Restless since the stone age) on Twitter today after the latter pulled out of a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother because he felt the role was too small. Doogie called Victor a d-bag and said Ray Wise is taking the part instead. Well, Victor Newman is not about to let Doogie slap him in the face with a white glove and so he slapped back in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. The word "whippersnapper" was used, so you know Victor is thisclose to beating a ho down.
I really don’t know who that fellow is. He’s a guy who stars in that series. It’s very unfortunate. First of all, I came back from hip surgery. I was off for three weeks. I’ve doubled my work, 30 to 50 pages a day for me, alone. Everyone knows that I’m exhausted. I was not about appear on a show for two lines, because that’s what it amounted to.His choice of words bothered me. He seems to me like a young whippersnapper who’s received a few awards and is now suffering from the first sign of hubris. I’ve been in the business for 50 years. I’ve seen people come and go and I’m still here. If he is a worthy adversary, he’d better not cross my path. I will let bygones be bygones.”
And just when Victor was about to challenge Doogie to a gentlemen's duel behind the coach house at sundown, Neil Patrick Harris apologized on Twitter for calling him a d-bag. That's right, you young whippersnapper, you! Victor Newman might look like an old wheezy queen who shed a tear when his butler accidentally ripped his favorite silk pocket square, but the bitch don't play!

Doochie you need to shut up. Got that, punk? ::the great victor newman dramatic voice::
Victor RULES...
...Eric Braeden came on the scene in the final moments of Old Hollywood glamour...
...when being a Star meant being larger than life onstage and knowing how to kick ass and take names behind the scenes...
...not like these 2-a-penny tarts of recent times...
...NPH...STFU...

NPH better hope he doesn't end up locked in Victor's basement turned sound proof prison cell equiped with TV monitors showing Victor's cheating 1st wife Julia wandering around the ranch wondering why her lover disappeared / operating room where he plans to castrate him, until Julia finally discovers him, helps him escape, then Victor comes after him with a bullwhip and accidentally knocks over Julia causing her to miscarry. Vintage Y&R from the 80s and Eric has a million other plots to choose from... watch your back NPH!
When my mom couldn't be home to watch Y&R she would make my dad watch it and give her an update and he became a huge fan of Victor (I think he wanted to BE Victor). Nobody wins a battle against Victor

Ahahaha..I love that story! Years ago, when my children were small and I was home with them, I watched DOOL. I was generally stir-crazy by the time Mr Shmoe walked in the door. When he asked me how my day had been, I'd be bursting with unwanted information, like "OMG! Stefano has kidnapped Marlena!", or "That bitch Sami! She's slept with Austin! Austin! Her own sister's fiancé!"
Ahhh, dem were the days...:D

speaking of victor...titanic was on last nite & again this morning. & tho this is a bit off topic..."mr. ismay" bears a remarkable resemblance to mr. hinkle (the magician) on frosty the snowman.

"Pissing in high cotton" was my great-aunt's phrase for improved fortunes,like a promotion or buying a new house at a low price.(Madeher money in real estate.
Use it if you like.
Nikki Newman would cut that bitch.....
They're both okay with me, but the "two lines" of dialogue on HIMYM would have been a career boost regarding those who don't know him from Y&R.
++++++++++++++++++
I don't think Victor Newman needs a career boost and if you don't already watch soaps you're not going to start from watching How I Met Your Mother.
Sincerely,
Alana Smithee
They're both okay with me, but the "two lines" of dialogue on HIMYM would have been a career boost regarding those who don't know him from Y&R. Glad NPH apologized, though--it was kind of rude, but I ain't mad at him.
Love this actor's response!! Whippersnapper is this year's Ice T's go eat a bowl of dicks!!
Seriously, NPH needs to stop tweeting! He needs to take my friend's advice. See below:
=========
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but to twit without wit is soulless -- Johanne Savoie
The Moustache reigns supreme.
The only thing I ever liked NPH on was ''Harold and Kumar'' (don't judge)
Calling an older gentleman a douche for not doing his show is tacky and immature. Back to the playpen with you, Doogie.

'' The Master would not approve! ''
STFU Neil.
...My darling can't you see
My heart sounds just for you my dear...
HEY HEY HEY NOW!!! I'm the only Whippersnapper around here! *shakes tiny fist*
ACK, double post - I will blame it on my boyfriend's touchy computer. ;)
Though I still do like NPH
I will forgive "Victor" because he appeared in a classic movie, the Planet of the Apes when Zera and Cornelious come to America.
*edited to add - Am we had the same thought
To quote my little grandma - "Dogs don't bark at parked cars......" Put it in park, NPH, put it in park....
Don't fuck with Victor Newman, Doogie.
I am truly shocked that NO ONE has been up in here calling MOMJEANS on ya'll. I know I've thought of it a coupla times;p

3 years on a successful sitcom > 30 years on a daytime soap, bitch
***************************************************
Team Eric Braeden. That's one tough bastard to have survived 50 (?!) years in show biz.
And use of the phrase "whippersnapper" is an automatic Coup De Grace. It's right up there with "I double-dog dare you!". (Credit to A Christmas Story)
What "few awards" has Doogie Howser ever won? I've always found him about as interesting as mayonnaise on white bread, and have never watched 2 minutes of him on anything on TV. Unfortunately, I got dragged to "Rent" in LA.
NPH, sit down a spell. You're becoming a tad bitchy and it's not flattering.
Eric Braeden is hot. NPH - NOT. Unless you're Perez Hilton. Then you have way bigger issues than a TV show.

NPH, I love ya man, but you den done stepped into the wrong cotton field now. (i don't know what that means, but my granma use to say it) DON'T EVER F WITH VICTOR NEWMAN. U crazy or what!
----------------------------
I am so stealing your granma's line
Its time for a Golden Girls marathonnnnnn
-------------------
My vagina eats condoms....I mean what
I'm going to side with Victor on this one. When a "special guest star" appearance on a sitcom falls through, NPH needs to remember there are bigger problems in life. Switch to decaf, Doogie.
What soap is going to be the next to bite the big one? They are having the same, slow agonizing death that CNN is suffering....only I like soaps.
Sad.....
Where in hell is Lisa Dean Ryan?

Team Victor, he's all class.
NPH is a perfect example of Hollywood allowing unattractive dudes to play womanizer types.
That said, I want to like NPH, but I'm just not into his show at all. Or the pretentious twin names.

I hate NPH.
*** what goes down, must come up ***
Doogie looks like Matthew Morrison there!
This makes no sense: "If he is a worthy adversary, he’d better not cross my path. I will let bygones be bygones."
A threat followed by forgiveness? Without an ass-beating in between? I don't get it.
Nothing says "I IS SUPER OLDZ!" like using the word "whippersnapper" (was he tryna be ironical? FAIL) and talking about your hip surgery.
Oh. That is my man right there. I loves me some VICTOR NEWMAN!!!!!! and I loves me some Nicki!
I love Dougie too, but Victor Newman is legend!!!
I haven't watched Y&R for decades, and never liked the Victor Newman character, and I've always like NPH. But I gotta go with Victor on this one. Well played Sir! Note to NPH - don't fuck with Victor Newman, he'll get you in the end.
I think NPH realized that the old gentleman is from a generation that didn't have to resort to immediate name-calling just because they didn't approve of a situation.
Good for him making NPH understand that you can show discontent without making yourself look like a piece of trash thas was raised by a pack of rabid monkeys.

show some respect to your grandfather little boy
Victor Newman is making my pussy wet.
NPH - don't start with the crazy - Victor will get his newest married-on-a-plane-to-Las-Vegas-to-solve-her-attempted-murder-of-him-plot crazy Sean Young out of Y&R jail to set your ass straight! Wait-bad choice of words....
definitely team Victor Newman
Awesome, Eric Braeden!! :)
NPH jumping to conclusions and having to make drama and speeches all over the place about it.

I don't really care about Doogie Howser, but I have thought that he's gotten a little too big for his britches, so good for this veteran for dressing him down.
We can turn this into a jennifer aniston post. LOL!
Victor Newman v. Victor Kiriakis. (Duh, newman wins) Or we could just call it a day and have Stephano Dimera show up and scare Doogie & the Victors in Phoenix.
I love Doogie, but he wandered into, "oh, no you didn't" territory. Daytime actors work long hours for a lot less pay, and have some ego issues. Eric was probably kinder to him then Victor would have been.
Scary thing is I have not watched soaps in 16 yrs or so, but the same people are on the cast. *granted Snapper left his medical career to become an lifeguard alcoholic that drove a talking car.
Doogie needs to remember is inner closeted Doogie days before twatting that an older daytime actor is a douche-bag. NPH, you are a sitcom away from douchebaggniness. It is more fun to like you, don't go there.
I love me a cat fight!

Who are you calling silly cow?

I've written a letter to MK...saying...I...love...youuuuuu.
Victor Newman is a sexy mofo.
o hai, NPH, can i be on yr show? i won't pull out and will stay all the way in there for the long haul. oh, and as many people know who i am and think i am relevant as that old odd guy.... as in my cats. they watch a lot of old tv. All awesome-ass NPH has to do is challenge victor vic-not-so-much to an awesome-off. just like Kobiyashi, VN will lose this time. and bitch about it as much. NPH has been Doogie Howser since i was in diapers, and is as much of an icon for me as blossom or stephanie tanner....(puts down the meth pipe...)
I'm a bit surprised at NPH, reacting in such an ungentlemanly way. Chalk it off to a momentary lapse in judgment or maybe he's a secret Y&R fan :) I watch it sometimes and Braeden's character is an sob and maybe he is also in real life, but he was right to call Doogie on this one..sorry doog. But since anyone can have a momentary lapse in judgment AND you did apologize, no biggie. I myself have been known to use the eff word on occasion and I abhor vulgarity. That's one of the reasons i love blogging...i can say wtf without actually saying eff :)I love that :)
