‘Uncoupled’ Review: Ex & The City
Uncoupled (★★★☆☆), it’s especially hard out here for a single gay man of a certain age.Whereas “a certain age” might, in more agreeable times, have meant truly middle-aged or at least gracefully senior, now, apparently, we’re all ancient after 40.So, Uncoupled‘s busy, fortysomething real estate broker Michael — unceremoniously dumped by his partner Colin, after 17 seemingly happy years together — has a steep learning curve to catch up with all the ins and outs of hooking up and hanging out now that he’s single again.Embodied in all his ripe ambition and sexuality by Neil Patrick Harris, Michael is caught completely off-guard by Colin (Tuc Watkins) packing up and leaving. But the show drops hints that he perhaps should have detected something was off — namely, the fact that Colin, uneasy about turning 50, was in no mood to celebrate the milestone.Created by uber-successful gay writer-producers Jeffrey Richman (Modern Family) and Darren Star (Sex & the City), Uncoupled has plenty to say about aging, gracefully or not, within the youth-obsessed gay culture.The series acknowledges, through Michael’s broker partner and bestie Suzanne (Tisha Campbell), that single women over 40 might still have it harder.In fact, Michael’s fabulously wealthy client, Claire (a delightful Marcia Gay Harden), also recently dumped, insists that women at any age are more ruthlessly judged by their appearance and other superficial aspects.As if accepting a challenge, Michael responds that we’ll just have to see about that.

Neil Patrick Harris apologises for meat platter in the likeness of Amy Winehouse’s corpse
Neil Patrick Harris has apologised for having a meat platter in the likeness of Amy Winehouse’s corpse in the months following her death.The How I Met Your Mother and A Series Of Unfortunate Events star faced criticism this week when an old Twitter post resurfaced allegedly showing a photo taken at a party at Harris’s house.According to the post, Harris and his husband, David Burtka, were hosting a party which included a buffet platter made to look like the dead body of singer Winehouse.The graphic platter (which is pictured below and is very gruesome – don’t scroll on if you don’t want to see) was served just three months after Winehouse died in July 2011, with actor Justin Mikita, husband of Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, sharing a photograph to Twitter at the time.The now-deleted tweet showed a snap of the disturbing platter, which featured Winehouse’s likeness with an eye missing and her tongue lolling out of her mouth.A caption read: ‘Look who showed up @ActuallyNPH & @GourmetMD’s Halloween party last night. Looking good.’Harris has now apologised for the distasteful joke and described it as ‘regrettable’, at the same time paying tribute to the singer’s talents.‘A photo recently resurfaced from a Halloween-themed party my husband and I hosted 11 years ago,’ he told Entertainment Weekly in a statement.‘It was regrettable then, and it remains regrettable now.
