Stung by vicious set gossip, “How I Met You Mother’ star NEIL PATRICK HARRIS orders male lover to get a real job – and then finds him one!
Neil, 38, used his considerable showbiz clout to reel in a sweet deal for David Burtka, 36, to work for the E! Network as an on-air correspondent covering red-carpet events, beginning in January 2012.
“Neil got sick of David behaving like a kept house-husband,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.
“Here he is up to his eyeballs in work between his CBS sitcom, hosting various award shows and co-parenting their twins while David spends just a few hours a week on his catering business.”
The star sprang into action after overhearing two crew members refer to him as David’s “sugar daddy.”
“He got so upset he ordered David to ‘get a REAL job’ and volunteered to make calls to help him find work,” said the source.
“Within days, David had meetings all around Hollywood, and the next thing you know he was hired by E!”
