POST #1: From AYTO Season 6 Episode 2
MICHAEL & FERGIE
Last week, the object of Keyana's affection, Michael got to tend bar in the clubhouse of Bravo's late night show Watch What Happens Live with the channel's signature host Andy Cohen, and a guest of that show is someone who is musical royalty and whose nickname is the Dutchess.
It was in the mid-'80s that Stacy Ferguson began her showbiz career as the voice of Sally in two Charlie Brown specials, but it was her five-year stint on the Kids Incorporated where she first made her mark, as well as being part of girl group Wild Orchid. But it was a call she got from a hip-hop group that would change her life, as she joined The Black Eyed Peas at the most opportune time as the group broadened its musical scope from just hip-hop to also include pop and dance-pop. Fergie, will.i.am, apl.de.ap & Taboo would garner the music world's attention with over 76 million records sold, and hits like "I Gotta Feeling," "Where Is The Love" and a Super Bowl halftime show. And she has also fared very well solo-wise, with several hit singles as well as her own brand fragrance... her second solo album just released this past month.
When Michael and one of his friends appeared on WWHL, this is what happened next...

POST #2: From AYTO Season 6 Episode 4
MICHAEL MEETS NPH
And lastly on our AYTO Pulse on Saturday, one Are You The One? alum pledged their support for the man who took back a UFC title that was effectively handed to him by the former holder's troubles with the law and then drugs after a failed drug test following his most recent fight. Now a member of Season 6 has one-upped Anthony of Season 2 and him meeting UFC champ Daniel Cormier by gaining the backing of a big name superstar. Coincidentally, the person of our focus here shares the same place of birth as the place of residency man who fought DC that night, Jon Jones.
If you grew up in the early '90s, you might remember Neil Patrick Harris playing the title role of Doogie Howser, M.D., a child prodigy who was able to complete everything a person would take years to accomplish to become a doctor before most of us would enter high school. His character completed high school, college and medical school in eight years to become America's youngest licensed doctor at age 14. And the series documented his challenges of balancing the fascinating world of medicine with the problems people his age go through... and every episode of Doogie ended with him typing an entry into his computer diary his observations of what went through that week.
Neil got his start as a child actor who was discovered in Albuquerque, NM, then cast in a 1988 film with Whoopi Goldberg and netted him a Golden Globe nod before Doogie came calling. TV guest roles followed the show's four-season run along with the first of many mature film roles, which would see him star in the Harold & Kumar franchise, and lend his voice talents to The Smurfs and other animated movies. And on Broadway, the experience he learned early on enabled Neil to embrace roles both dramatically and musically: from the successful play Rent and starring alongside Debbie Gibson and Vanessa Hudgens to hosting its biggest event, the Tony Awards, four times.
To another generation of fans, NPH is best known for playing Barney Stinson on the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, which followed main character Ted Mosby (played by Josh Radnor) and his Manhattan friends (including Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segal) and documented the events that led them meet their mom. The show gained a cult following, numerous awards, and became infamous for its series finale in 2014 with a controversial twist ending that left everyone shaking their heads. And on the most-watched entertainment broadcast each year, two times Neil has taken the stage at the Oscars: first in 2010 in delivering the opening number, and five years later being the show's host.
And along with other roles -- the current one being playing main antagonist Count Olaf on Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Harris is one of the most prominent celebrities to take pride in themselves in being openly gay. Eleven years ago next month, he officially came out of the closet after having been in a three-year relationship with partner David Burtka. They would then become parents to baby twins Gideon and Harper in 2010, then a year later the men announced their engagement just before the landmark Supreme Court ruling making same-sex marriage national law. They tied the knot three years later in Italy with Elton John performing at their reception.
So far in New Orleans, Michael has been in an up and down relationship with Keyana and also attempted to break off Kareem & Alivia, which suggests through teasers on Instagram may find themselves in rough waters come Wednesday. And after he and his friend got to hang out with Fergie at Bravo's Watch What Happens Live after the premiere (just as rumors of the Dutchess' marriage with Josh Duhamel has been going "Boom Boom Pow" recently), Mike now he has the backing of Mr. NPH when he got to take part in a promotional event for Cigna when Neil went back to when he started his career in doing a commercial for them in being a doctor once again. Below is them meeting at that event where both took part in a workout put on by the company.
