Congrats to Neil Patrick Harris and his fiancé David Burtka!

Just days after the How I Met Your Mother funnyman was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I just got word that...

The couple will be honored at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's 40th Anniversary Gala in November.

"To be recipients of this award on the 40th anniversary of the LA Gay & Lesbian Center? We are very, very honored," Burtka tells me. "It should be a great night."

The event's theme is "40 Years of Family." Harris and Burtka are parents of son Gideon Scott and daughter Harper Grace, twins who turn one-year-old next month. The couple got engaged in June after gay marriage was legalized in New York.

"I just hope we can keep our speech short," Harris said. I don't know how long the valet attendants can entertain the babies without a major meltdown."

We'd be more than happy to babysit. Just let us know if you need us.
