Did you hear the one about the internationally known comic who watches "The Hills"? There's no punch line to that, by the way. "That's the joke," Seth Rogen laughed, "the fact that I watch the f--king 'Hills.' "

It's actually not just one joke, but a bunch of jokes. And if you're lucky enough to be at the right L.A.-area comedy club this summer, you might hear 'em all, Rogen said. In preparation for the new Judd Apatow movie about the world of stand-up comedy, he'll be trying out a bunch of new material. His best stuff? Well, Spencer, Heidi and a rabbi walk into a bar ...

"I haven't done [stand-up] in almost eight or nine years," he confessed. "I've been writing some jokes. They're varying degrees of hilarious, [and the best stuff] is some 'Hills' jokes. I'm just writing on premises — I haven't really flushed it out yet.

"I watched the sh-t out of 'The Hills.' I don't know what else to say," he continued. "I watch the living crap out of it." Read more...

We all remember the classic scene from "Knocked Up" where Katherine Heigl's celebrity reporter informs her boyfriend/baby daddy Seth Rogen that she's about to go interview the hunky star of "Lost" Matthew Fox, and his deadpan response.

"You know what's interesting about him?" Rogen's character asks. "Nothing!"

It's one of many funny moments in the high-grossing flick, and everybody remembers it as some good-natured ribbing, right? Well, maybe not everyone. Read more...

Forget high concept comedies like "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" and "Walk Hard," the idea behind "Drillbit Taylor" is a "simple one," said producer Judd Apatow.

"Kids are getting bullied and they hire a guy they think is a bodyguard when in fact he's a homeless con man who plans on robbing their families' houses," Apatow explained, calling the Seth Rogen-scripted comedy a throwback of sorts to the great comedies of John Hughes.

Which, actually, makes a ton of sense, considering the idea for "Drillbit Taylor" came, well, from Hughes himself - an old concept that was adapted and tweaked by Apatow and Co. Read more...

Sure, the potent combination of Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler, reuniting for a recently announced new project, means plenty of laughs. But could it be that their next film owes more to "Punch Drunk Love" than it does to "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry"?

Apatow thinks so.

"It's a relationship movie," he said of the still-untitled project, which will star Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann. "It's not a big high-concept movie. It's hopefully going to be a very, very funny drama." Read more...

First the good news: Judd Apatow thinks that one of his films could spawn a sequel, and there's been some minor scuttlebutt among his troupe about what it would look like. Now the bad news: Maybe your grandchildren will get to see it.

You stay classy, San Diego. Now stay classy for...30 years?

"The movie that probably has a best shot at a sequel is 'Anchorman.' Ron Burgundy would be hilarious at 70-years-old, being the anchor," the director mused of what films in his catalogue might demand to be revisited. Read more...

These days, it seems like anything touched by the fingers of Judd Apatow turns to box-office gold. Now, with the near-deafening advance buzz surrounding next month's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," perhaps the same can be said about Apatow's latest collaborator, Nicholas Stoller.

So, when the director gave us the inside scoop on the next movie he'll team up on alongside Apatow and actor/writer Jason Segal, we weren't "Forgetting" a word of it.

"It's called 'Five-Year Engagement,' and it's about a couple who are almost right for each other, but not a hundred percent there," laughed the 31-year-old rookie filmmaker, whose relationship with Apatow and Segal dates back to their "Freaks and Geeks" days. Read more...

The latest comedy from the Judd Apatow Collection, "Forgotting Sarah Marshall" finds "Freaks & Geeks" alum Jason Segel taking a Hawaiian vaca to get over being dumped by Kristen Bell, only to wind up staying at the same resort as his ex. Luckily, Mila Kunis is there to distract. Below, watch an exclusive scene from the anticipated flick before you catch it in theaters on April 18.

Combining the forces that gave us "Superbad," "School of Rock" and "Groundhog Day," there are few currently-filming flicks we're as excited about as "The Year One." Now, "House" actress Olivia Wilde is preaching to us all for the first time about her role in the biblical comedy.

"The script is so funny, I can't even tell you," laughed the 23-year-old beauty, currently filming the movie in Louisiana alongside Michael Cera, Jack Black and writer/director Harold Ramis. "I am a huge Monty Python fan, and it's definitely got some of that Monty Python-esque humor; it's over-the-top, but it's very smart." Read more...

In case you haven't been able to tell from the omnipresent marketing campaign there's a biopic out now as much in the vein of "Knocked Up" as "Coal Miner's Daughter." The movie of course is "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and it should be no surprise that it sprang in part from the mind behind "Knocked Up," the great Judd Apatow.

Judd's written for us a bunch before and he's back now with a cool little column all about the making of "Walk Hard" and formative concert experiences that shaped him.

Here's Judd on his first concert, "the Doobie Brothers. I was in eighth grade. I could not have loved it more. The Minute by Minute tour hit the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York. I had such a good time that I went to see another concert just a few months later. It was the Doobie Brothers returning to the Nassau Coliseum."
